Confirmation Saints
What an incredible gift we have in the communion of saints. The saints are like us!
They are our ancestors, our teachers, our friends, our siblings. They are real, truly
human. They are sinners, they are repentant children of God.
The saints lived on this earth and experienced suffering, joy, pain, broken
promises, peace, frustration, war, injury, heart -break they know our hearts. But
mostly, they know what it takes to be united with God here on this messy earth.
They know what it takes to live well for Him.
The following list is for you to use as a starting point in your journey to decide
whom your Confirmation saint-buddy will be. Pick a saint who speaks to you
somehow. Know their story. But, mostly know the power of their prayer. Ask for
their intercession like you wou ld ask for the prayers of your friends. Saying yes
to a Confirmation saint is like saying yes, you may always pray for my poor and
weary soul.
