St Isidore The Farmer

Santa Maria de la Cabez

Santa Maria de la Cabeza is a great patron Saint for wives. She was the wife of Saint Isidore the farmer. Isidore would often bring home as many coworkers as he could. She would pray for her pot to miraculously, refill itself, because she didn’t have enough food for everyone. It would. She’s also a great intercessor for dry places. She is known to bring rain to places of drought for those who ask for her intercession.

Saint Dymphna

Saint Teresa Of Avila

Saint Teresa of Avila & Saint Dymphna

This is my all time favorite story of Saint Teresa of Avila. She was walking through the convent one day and she saw this little boy. He asked her, “Who are you?” And she said “I am Teresa of Jesus. Who are you?” And he responded, “I am Jesus of Teresa.” Saint Dymphna is incredible too- she is the patron saint of mental health, and mental illness. She is a great intercessor for so many people close to me and a great great Saint to get to know!

Bl Carlo Acutis wasn’t afraid to die. His last words were, “I am happy to die because I have lived my life without wasting a minute on those things which do not please God.” He spent his life well. He was an English-born Italian Catholic youth and website designer who is best known for documenting Eucharistic miracles and the approved Marian apparitions around the world and cataloguing them onto a website which he created before his death from leukemia.

Jesus Carrying The Cross

Saint Veronica

Veronica was moved with sympathy seeing Jesus carrying the cross up Calvary. She gave him her veil to wipe his forehead. Jesus gladly accepted her offer and when he returned the veil- the image of his face was miraculously imprinted on it.

Agnes was a beautiful young girl from a wealthy family in early Rome. She has many suitors who were upset by her resolution to give her entirety to Jesus. They tried many ways to kill her for being Christian. To mock her, they dragged her through the streets naked, but her hair grew so long it covered her entire body. They tried to burn her but the flames could not touch her. She is shown with a little lamb because of her incredible purity. Saint Agnes, Being Christian, Wealthy Family, St Agnes, Touching Herself

Find A Way

Blessed Pier Georgio Frassati

Known for hiking and mountain climbing. He would do outdoor activities with his friends and then share with them the love of Christ. He would even bet them to a game of pool and if he won they would have to go to confession and mass with him. And he rarely lost.

He had thousands of homeless show up to his funeral, they were his true friends.

Loaves Of Bread

Flower Festival

Saint Zita

The patron saint of doing ordinary things well, and patron saint of housekeeping. She is the patron saint of Lucca so I added a bike in her picture. Lucca is a tiny town in Italy known for everyone riding their bikes outside it’s beautiful walls. She was caught taking loaves of bread out to the poor. They asked her to open her apron and wildflowers fell out. To this day the town has flower festivals in her name.

The Boss

Saints Series: Saint Isidore

Saint Isidore is the patron saint of farmers and laborers. He is known for over 400 miracles. Some of the miracles during his lifetime, were if he was coming back late from Mass, and his workers would complain to the boss. The boss would look out and see angels plowing the field in his place, and he would think it was Isidore. Saint Isidore, patron saint of farmers and laborers, pray for us.
