As the clock struck 12am, Sunday 1st January 2012...I made a promise to myself that I will pray more often. 2011 was a dreadful year for me in terms of prayer and my spiritual connection with God.Every time I would try to pray I would just be put off for some odd reason and say to myself "next time". This year I promised myself that I will say the Rosary daily along with a special novena to either the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lord Jesus Christ and to the numerous saints I adore.
My mother is the one who introduced me to Saints and Guardian Angels, she loves them and often would tell me stories about them.
As I lay in bed I stumbled across a saint, St. Josephine Bakhita. What a beautiful saint who suffered and struggled all her live but never gave up her love for God. That clicked something inside to me to read about her more, I couldn't stop staring at her picture and that's it! I was inspired to read about a saint everyday and apply their lives, their stories and their passion into mine.
So begins my journey of this blog of reading about a Saint everyday. My viewpoint about these glorious beings.
Ahhh how wonderful will it be if the Saints know how much I adore them. When my time on earth ends I wonder if they will come to me... 365 plus saints...I can't wait to meet them :D
If anyone stumbles across this blog and knows any information about any particular saint, such as what they liked to eat, what colour is associated with them then let me know!
Thanks and I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I am excited writing about all the saints.
