Sister, I love your comments about my other friend, Saint Dymphna. I'm not crazy, just bipolar, but that probably counts. Her day, as I recall, is May 15. I just caught your blog and I love it. May God bless you and all of your efforts.Kevinzplhttp://kevinzpl@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-32435984209451678472010-02-10T09:19:46.819-08:002010-02-10T09:19:46.819-08:00Hi Sister, I am a Protestant minister, and a reade...Hi Sister, I am a Protestant minister, and a reader of your Blog, which I love. I do want to point out your comment about the lectionary, and the readings from the bible. The three year lectionary does leave out sections of the bible, which I point out to people who want to read the whole thing. <br />Thanks for your blog.Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-19950271544146207422010-02-10T00:22:45.557-08:002010-02-10T00:22:45.557-08:00Sister Mary Martha, your blog and daily mass are t...Sister Mary Martha, your blog and daily mass are the spiritual food I need to make it through my weeks. As a young college student, I'm looking for the patron saint of procrastinators. Even right now at 12:22AM I'm avoiding my research paper that's due in a few hours! Is there any saint who can help me rid my terrible habit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-38076602495836378442010-02-09T17:05:12.188-08:002010-02-09T17:05:12.188-08:00A hefty task, to read the entire Bible in a year.....A hefty task, to read the entire Bible in a year....and yet, one that I aspire to undertake every year.

I actually like this very much. I have attempted to read the bible from Genesis to Revelations in the past and failed miserably once reaching Leviticus! Reading the old testament passage in the morning and the new testament passage in the evening works for me.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457409537039762474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-85999783962204235232010-02-09T08:29:01.358-08:002010-02-09T08:29:01.358-08:00Dear Sister Mary Martha,

Lupus is not a new disease -- Hippocrates wrote about it -- so you'd think we'd have our own patron saint. <br /><br />The best I can come up with is St. Alphonsus Liguori, patron for arthritis sufferers, since arthritis is one of the things lupus causes.<br /><br />Also, Blessed Junipero Serra was beatified on the basis of a miraculous cure of a woman with lupus. So maybe he's the go-to guy for us lupies?<br /><br />Or is there a patron saint for lupus that's as difficult to find as lupus is hard to diagnose? <br /><br />Thanks, Sister, I love your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-23025857008303438512010-02-08T15:55:11.403-08:002010-02-08T15:55:11.403-08:00I love your blog. *AND* I love those BOOKMARKERS!!...I love your blog. *AND* I love those BOOKMARKERS!!

I'm a healthy-living, running grandmother who works with words for a living, (still) married to a Jew for almost 35 years - which saint do you think would be an inspiration for me?carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705717273710252277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-68549434222758755642010-02-08T14:21:35.866-08:002010-02-08T14:21:35.866-08:00Thanks Sister!
