If you could have your very own Patron Saint, what would their title be?

Asked by Val123 (12739points) November 4th, 2009

Just found out last night that there is actually a Patron Saint of Headaches!
http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=208

St. Theresa wouldn’t do me any good because I don’t get headaches. However, I could seriously use a Patron Saint of Home Remodeling. I would pray every day that I could live in a house that wasn’t constantly in some unfinished state of construction in any given room!
What Saint would you appreciate?

@Val123 The Patron Saint of Home Remodeling would be St. Joseph ;)

I already appreciate many saints. If you can think of something, there’s usually a saint to help!

@SpatzieLover Why St. Joseph?

@Val123 He was a carpenter, and is the Patron Saint of most “home” related issues.

@SpatzieLover Oh! And guess what! Jesus was a carpenter too! I have mass help on my side…if only my husband will LISTEN!

@Val123 ;D Now you need to ask St. Jude to help you get the husband in order he’s the Patron Saint of Lost Causes ;P

@Spatzielover St Jude is the patron saint of lost causes? then he’s the one for me then, Sometimes I think my life is a bit of a lost cause, hugs xx

@bunnygrl If you are serious, then you should read this story on St. Jude

BTW-It seems whenever I thought life was at it’s worst it got even worse for me. As soon as I started finding things to be grateful for, things always looked up. I’m thankful to be warmed by the sun shining through my window right now!

@MissAusten And I could use a Patron Saint of Dishwashers! ;)
