For me this coming year my patron saint is St. Francis de Sales because he is also the patron saint for the deaf of which I am HOH/borderline deaf. Otherwise it would have been a toss up between Aquinas or Dominic for my love of Dominicans! <br />Have a great year!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16606232839700161406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738564385955889206.post-3034085116349805852014-12-27T20:18:17.732-08:002014-12-27T20:18:17.732-08:00Brian - I don't drink coffee so St. Drogo woul...Brian - I don't drink coffee so St. Drogo wouldn't be a good fit for me.

Still part of me always suggests St. Drogo - because coffee! (plus, as the patron of the hideous and of coffee shops, he's practically the patron of us singles who might go on blind dates…)<br /><br />-BrianBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058171030261812885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738564385955889206.post-2032135488486199942014-12-26T20:48:04.010-08:002014-12-26T20:48:04.010-08:00Oops...

A challenge indeed, but I think that one that might work well for you, I think that St. Brigid of Ireland might be a worthy one to choose.<br /><br />http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=453<br /><br />Regardless whom you feel drawn most to, I am sure that 2015 will be a spiritually rewarding year for you with the Patron Saint you end up choosing!<br /><br />Blessings!<br />Stephen<br /><br />PS: This has inspired me to search for a Saint for this coming year as well.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518848866389481942noreply@blogger.com
