She suffers from alzheimer's to the extent that she is completely unresponsive to any stimuli.<br /><br />She always told us that she would never want to be a 'vegetable', and put a no heroic measures in her will- but she has been kept alive for 2 years in this state and the Dr s say that she may well live on for another 5 or more...<br /><br />Can I pray for her release? I fear that she is trapped, alone, in a totally unresponsive husk of a body. Is there a Saint who would help?<br /><br />And thank you for your wonderful blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-6197968278608084552012-01-04T13:51:07.834-08:002012-01-04T13:51:07.834-08:00@ Paige Fra Angelico (recently canonized) is the ...@ Paige Fra Angelico (recently canonized) is the patron saint of artists. You might try seeing if he connects through the artwork. Angelico wasn't his name, BTW, he was known for his paintings of angels. You've probably seen his Annunciation, but it's worth looking at his Adoration of the Magi - there's always a lot of story going on in the background - early sequential art, if you will!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745372502346991328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-56831877430857692182012-01-03T20:18:39.453-08:002012-01-03T20:18:39.453-08:00Hi Sister!

He's an artist, but also really into comic books. He's got really bad ADD, and has a hard time finishing things. He also is a revert and came to the Church a bit later in life though he was baptized Catholic. I thought Augustine would be great, but he's read about him and doesn't feel like they have a lot "in common." Any thoughts? A couple he could read up on would be great!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02958084273028753944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-13435467672471117482012-01-03T18:48:52.494-08:002012-01-03T18:48:52.494-08:00Here's what I love about you: You dare to say...Here's what I love about you: You dare to say things like "Now, while I'm dubious that any of this took place..." <br />I didn't know Catholics were allowed to say anything like that!Donna.
