Your Saint for the Year 2012!
Where I prayerfully ask God to guide my hand in choosing for you a Saint Companion to guide your 2012....
FOR OUR 8th YEAR....it is time to pick a new saint to guide each of us this year, as we have done in years before. Did you get a saint last year? Blog about it...encourage this tradition.
It is said that the Saint picks YOU.
It is said that the Saint picks YOU.
In our family, we post our Saints of the Year on our refrigerator so that we are constantly reminded of them... of our journey with them... to be inspired by what their life can teach us in our faith journey. It becomes a great learning and spiritual study to google our saint and learn and read as much as we can about them.
With solemnity, we each fervently pray as our hand reaches into the basket. We ask that the saint God intends to "teach and journey " with us this year will choose us.
And they have been so meaningful to us. Sometimes a certain saint likes to stay and share themselves with other members of our family....like Padre Pio, St. Therese's family and Mother Cabrini. We are growing in love for our saints. Some might say we are Saint Junkies!

Would you like to have a companion saint this year? CAN I PICK A SAINT FOR YOU?
Leave me a comment and I will leave you one back with a Saint Companion for 2012. Then, google them...read all you can about them. Get a medal and post their prayer card on your mirror...learn from them and their struggles. Make it a New Year's resolution to let them transform you in some way!
All you holy men and women, ora pro nobis.
(This project becomes larger each year, thank you, Lord! Please be patient with me as I gladly respond to requests as promptly as I can.)

Could I possibly be the first one??? I would gladly have you pick a saint for us again this coming year! God Bless.
Oh, Allison, I am so grateful you are doing this again! I really look forward to who our family will get each year! May God bless you family abundantly in the new year!

Allison, this is a wonderful idea. I'm so glad I found you on the CCE list. Could you please choose a saint for me for 2012? Thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this!! I emailed you earlier this week about wanting a saint for myself, husband and son... thank you! God bless. <><
So glad you are doing this again this year, Allison. I'd love for a saint to pick me for the year, through your hand!!
Oh, I would love for you to consider a Saint for me! Thank you! Nancy
Hi Allison,
If anyone would like to talk more about what saint you chose for this new year and why you chose them could shoot me an email at the St. Louis Review: lisajohnston@archstl.org or Tweet it to #catholicstl
THANKS!
I like the way your saints choose you Allison! I was picked by Saint Margaret Clitherow through a saint generator and I was thinking that the Holy Spirit led me to her... but I think I like your thinking. St. Margaret picked me! Otherwise I would have been happy for you to pick one for me! Happy New Year!
I would love a patron saint for this year. I am a Catholic raising my son with my atheist husband. Yikes! I need all the saintly help I can get! Thank you so much for doing this, it's so sweet of you.

Hi Allison,
I'd like a companion saint. Even though my name is Michael, I am a female. I don't know if that matters, but when I've done this in the past I always get male saints. Lol I think I'd like to have someone I can relate to.
Thanks and many blessings,
Michael

I love starting out the New Year with a new friend! Can you pick a saint for me as well? What a blessing!
I already have a "saint of the year" for 2012, but would like to ask one for my brother G. He is suffering from a debilitating depression, is long-term unemployed, and is a lapsed Catholic. At one time he was reading everything he could (he is an intellectual) to try to convince himself to come back to the Church, but then he married a wonderful woman who unfortunately was raised in an atheistic home, and as a result he has fallen even further away.
Needless to say, G. will not be praying for the intercession of this saint, but I would like to pray to the saint on his behalf.
Thank you so much and God bless you.
Blessed New Year to you! Please select a companion saint for me! Thank you!
Atllison, I realize that it is the first day of the year and perhaps I am a little late, but I believe that our family needs a saint this year. Could you still pick one for us? Thank you so much!
I would love to have a saint picked. Thanks!
Is it too late for you to pick me a saint? I thought I posted last night but it didn't go through for some reason.
Thanks,
Chris
I would love it if you would chose a saint for my family this year. May God guide and bless you. Thanks!

What a wonderful, inspiring idea! Every first of the new year, we renew our consecration of our family to the Blessed Mother, a month-long dedication. I love the idea of having a year-long dedication to a dear friend and building a relationship and friendship...what a powerful friend in heaven to intercede for the needs of our family! Please choose one for us. Our family consists of my husband and myself, and our 5 children. We already have a dedication to Sts. Cecilia, Monica, Francis and Michael the Archangel. Thank you! God Bless!
Angela
My family ordinarily has great-grandma choose saints - unfortunately, she passed away this past year and no one picked up the tradition. I'm feeling the family out now to see if they'd like me to continue the tradition, but so far no responses. I prefer to have another choose a saint for me. Would you be that person for me this year?
Thank you,
Lynn
If you possibly have time could you have a Saint pick our family? We are a homeschooling family of now 5 since we added our precious little Kathleen Hope in February of 2011. Thank you. I have just found your site and am loving it! You are such an inspiration. I was beginning to feel like the only Catholic Homeschooler out there.
Blessed Be your family,
Kristi
Thank you so much. By heavenly coincidence, my new patron's feast is on my birthday!

I am eager to hear who might be watching over our family for 2012. Thank you for hosting this!

Oh, this can't be good...there isn't a saint for my family?!? :)
I asked on January 1, and my post is there, but I don't see my saint yet.
When you get time, I know my family is difficult, please let us know the saint.
Thanks
Hi Allison, I would love a saint for the year and for my husband Steve and Children.

Thanks

Thank you for being willing to do this! Could you please choose a saint for my family fr 2012? Last year, we chose St. John Bosco and we really have a devotion to him now. Looking forward to having our saint choose us this year!
Allison,
Thanks to Theresa, I found your site and would love to have a saint for our family this year.
God bless you for your willingness to do this.

Allison, Is it too late to get a Saint?
Tamara Moravec +JMJ+
Hi Allison, thanks for the comments about my blog. re your question: go to your dashboard, click on design, then click on template design, then you can make many changes. on the left there is a list going down of all different parts of your layout that you can experiment with. one of those will let you experiment with how many columns you want (2, 3, 4) and how wide you want the columns. if you like it then you save the changes (or apply the changes. if you don't like it, you just go back to your current layout). of course, after you get your column to the width you like, when you're drafting your post and insertig photos, you can enlarge the photos to extra large, and they fit so nicely in the column!! if you have more Q's feel free to ask (I'm not a guru at it, but manage to muddle through it!)
If I'm not too late, I would love it if you could pick a Saint for our family too. Many Blessings to you and your family!!!
God Bless,

Look at all of these 127 blessings you have received. Love it! I would be honored if you could please pick a patron saint for my blog this year:) Thank you, thank you!
Hello! I remember reading that you did this last year and was hoping I would be able to join in someday. I hope I'm not too late! I'm in the process of conversion and am starting RCIA within the next few weeks. I would so appreciate if you could pick a Saint for me! Thank you!
Hello! I read that you did this last year and was hoping I would be able to join in this year! I just hope I'm not too late. I'm actually in the process of conversion and am entering RCIA soon. My husband has also been miraculously receptive to the Church. It's a very exciting time! I would love if you could choose a saint for me! Thank you!

Allison, thank you for helping us find a Saint-companion for 2012!
I would be so happy if you could choose one for me and my family.
May God bless you..Trish
Dear Allison, Thanl you so much for choosing my saint. I feel the choice of St. Elizabeth is so perfect for me this year, as I am also an older mother struggling at times to be content and faithful in my vocation when most my age are free from the demands of young children. God truly guided your choice of this saintly older mother whose great contribution to the Kingdom was faithfully raising a holy son as He willed. I know her prayers will assist me! God bless you in 2012!
For Stephanie of Raise Them Up...Bl. Charles de Foucault.
For JUST ME...St. Elijah and The Holy Family (For some reason these two slips came out together.)
For Megan - St. Isidore, Doctor of the Church

Saint Eligah.... a connection because i'm in formation for the 3rd order carmelites.... Holy Family? maybe because my daughter recently went out to L.A. for school. (so far away) and our "family" could use lots of prayer.... to become the "family" it should have been? i'll have to look into this more? there is something there i'm sure! thank you! <3

Hi Allison
Is it time yet? Are we there yet?
I am so grateful for previous Saints, and I'm looking forward to meeting my new Saint for 2013!!
Thanks for blessing us all.
Stephanie
This will be my first time of doing this, so if you can, please pick a Saint for me. I will be praying earnestly to pick Saints for my children as we focus on Humility for this year. That is our key word in our household. We seem to be struggling with pride in our home. A meek and humble spirit is our goal.
