Your 2013 Saint Companion & Giveaway!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  

It's that time again... I will prayerfully ask God to guide my hand in choosing your Saint Companion to guide your 2013....AND you can also enter to win the Catholic Child's Teaching Bible and supplies.

FOR OUR 9th 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.

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 2013. 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.)

To thank you for visiting, I'd like to gift one of the responders/commenters of this post with The Catholic Child's Teaching Bible. My friend, Jenny, worked hard to make this wonderful resource and I would like to make a gift of it. See video HERE.  

You came to this blog post in a quest for spiritual companionship, finding a saint to help guide your year of faith. I believe this giveaway dovetails nicely because with this resource your family can also meet that calling to grow in virtue and closeness to God's Word...the way the Saints did.  This book will encourage you and your family to open your bibles more!  There, in His Word, you will meet Him, like our role models the saints, who now pray before the face of God in heaven.
