...and all the angels and saints to pray for me...

I am going to post one more thing about my personal life and then I am going to take a break from blogging about it. I will blog my regular stuff after this post and will try to post once a day as usual. Thank you all for bearing with me and indeed, bearing me up during this time.

I decorated this bulletin board this morning. It's a collection of pictures I printed off the internet, holy cards I own and things I have received from other people. The board is pretty full now but I can see adding a few more things as the months go by.

Top row:
St. Joseph, patron of Canada and step-parents.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help
The Divine Mercy image
Miraculous Medal
San Damiano crucifix (as Luke departed on St. Francis' feast day)
Another Miraculous Medal (featuring the back)
St. John of God - just discovered him today while looking for a patron of mental health
Mother Teresa, patron of the sick and unloved
St. Raphael, archangel and patron of travellers and the sick

Second row:
St. Therese (of the Trenches)
St. Faustina, apostle and secretary of mercy
St. Luke, patron of doctors, author of the third Gospel and Acts and namesake
My Luke, recipient of many prayers!
St. Michael, archangel, chosen patron of my son
Our Lady of Lourdes, patron of the sick

Third row:
Pamphlet of Divine Mercy Chaplet - praying it every day
Fr. Emil Kapaun, military chaplain- Korea
Fr. Tim Vakoc, military chaplain - Iraq
St. Michael's prayer and yellow ribbon
