While in France, we were finally able to visit the Saint Gens Church and learn more about the Legend of Saint Gens. We tried to go many times, but the hours of operation are very limited and not quite accurate. Eventually, we had the opportunity to see Saint Gens. He did not disappoint! We added some pictures of Saint Gens, who still lies in his glass coffin, incorrupt! Plus, A Reminder about Gretna Art Market, on Saturday, September 9th, 2023.

Yes, we are using a bit of poetic license and contemporizing Saint John Fisher’s Patronages. That’s ok, we’re not Pope Francis I. Our story will concentrate on John Fisher’s abilities as a Public Speaker Patron, Debater and, if modernized, the Patron of “Influencers.” We will send a quick note when he is up on our website but in the meantime please talk him up on Tik Tok where he could and should be Influential.

I have also located some new saints and their medals that I’ve never seen before! Some have been around for a hundred years or more. Their medals are beautifully aged. Where have they been?

Saint Josemaria Escriva is curiously one of the most popular “search terms” that lead folks to us and his story is great. One day, Saint Josemaria literally saw “footprints in the sand,” and he then decided to pursue a religious vocation. We can all find messages during ordinary circumstances if we take a moment to look and reflect.

In a few weeks, we will be traveling to Italy and the birthplace of Saint Anthony of Padua. He may be best known for his prayer, “Saint Anthony Come on Down, Something’s Lost that Must Be Found!” After you say that prayer, whatever you’ve lost just miraculously shows up a minute later.  (usually)

We visited the museum of the Shroud of Turin, which was a bit underwhelming. Still, seeing the images and portraits and watching the story in their theater was informative. According to tradition, the Shroud is the burial linen Jesus was wrapped after his crucifixion and death.

Pope Francis has been advocating for building a bigger tent for Catholicism, by raising the roof, stretching its canvas and extending the spikes of its tent. So, there is hope for the revitalization of Catholicism and religion in general. The Pope messages that we do not have to agree with all the “sins” people may commit.
