Ewww. Gross. "get(ting) to know more saints that you love" is called necrophilia. It's gross and illegal.
Are you so ignorant that you think that love and sex are the same thing?
Are you so ignorant that you enjoy calling people ignorant online?

my favorite saint, but I love the tradition of our crazy aunts, buryinga Saint Joseph statue in the front yard of house they were trying to sell, and then when the house sold, they thought it was because of the statue instead of the real estate agent.
To funny. I buried St Joseph upside down in our house and it sold in under 48 hours. My Protestant husband thought I was nuts, but he became a believer with an all cash, no contingency offer.
Think I may need one of these. Where does one get themselves a St. Joseph Statue?

Not a saint yet, but let’s get word out about Dorothy Day. Social justice activist starting from being held at Lorton for women’s suffering to 60 civil rights and farmers rights. I recently find myself reading more about her.

Elizabeth Anne Seton, she lived all 3 ‘vocations’ - married life, single life and holy orders. I connect, because it is a long life and we all have stages, not like you do one thing your whole life. She was also big into education for everyone. Worth the trip up to Maryland.

Saint Dymphna:
Patroness of those who suffer with mental and nervous disorders. Saint Dymphna has become increasingly popular in recent years as someone to turn to when experiencing worry, fear, and anxiety. Saint Dymphna can be invoked for help with a range of mental issues, from daily stress to the more serious anxiety disorders.
Her Story: Saint Dymphna was born in the 7th century to a royal family in Ireland. Her mother was a devout Catholic, but her father Damon was not religious. The upbringing and care from her mother instilled a deep faith in Dymphna.
However, her mother died when Dymphna was around fourteen years old. In his grief, Damon suffered from severe mental illness to the point of near insanity. He decided to marry Dymphna to replace his wife, but the girl fled to Belgium with two family servants and a priest, Saint Gerebernus. Unfortunately, Damon tracked down his daughter. After killing the priest, the soldiers were ordered to cut off Dymphna’s head if she refused to marry her father.
Remaining true to her faith, the teenager refused to comply. Damon's response was to kill his daughter by his own hand. Dymphna is the patron saint for mental illness as well as therapists, incest victims, and the loss of parents ( more on Saint Dymphna).
Feast day: May 15
To be a Catholic saint, something really gory has to happen to you.

Ewww. Gross. "get(ting) to know more saints that you love" is called necrophilia. It's gross and illegal.
Are you so ignorant that you think that love and sex are the same thing?
Are you so ignorant to not see sarcasm and that love has multiple meanings?
