Scrolly lyrics thingy. Song: The Patron Saint Of Liars And Fakes Artist:Fall Out Boy Album: Take This To Your Grave im not requesting anymore vids ...

Of doctors, surgeons , artists, painters, healers (etc).

Has to be female
Doesn't have to be the parton saint of all suggestions.

Thanks!

I don't know for sure, but it sounds like it could be St. Brigit of Ireland? Her nuns keep an ever-burning flame where you can light a candle that has healing powers, and then make other Brigit candles with them. Neat huh?

She's the Catholic Patron Saint (and Celtic goddess) of healers, artists, and blacksmiths.

I think I would be the patron saint of alcoholic, frustrated artists who are aging gracelessly.

You?

Mothers who were too foolish to begin saving for their childrens' college educations the minute they were born :(

Because of his pride Herod, though deeply sorry, could not decline the request; thus, as Saint Augustine says, "an oath rashly taken was criminally kept." He sent a soldier of the guard to behead John in prison. Thus, the "voice crying in the wilderness" was silenced. The head was placed on a platter and taken to Salome, who gave it to her mother.

1st century. Shortly after he had baptized Jesus, John the Baptist began to denounce Herod Antipas, the tetarch of Galilee. Herod had divorced his own wife and taken Herodias, the wife of his half- brother Philip and also his own niece. John the Baptist declared, "I is not lawful for you to have her," so Herod threw him into prison.

Not only did Herod fear John and his disciples, he also knew him to be a righteous man, so he did not kill him. Herodias determined to bring about John's death. From prison John followed Jesus's ministry, and sent messengers to question him (Luke 7:19-29). One day Herod gave a fine banquet to celebrate his birthday. His entire court was present as well as other powerful and influential Palestinians. Herodias's daughter Salome so pleased Herod when she danced to entertain the company that he promised her whatever she would ask--even half of his kingdom. Salome asked her mother for counsel and was told to request the head of the Baptist (Matthew 14:1-12).

St. John the Baptist – STATUE – ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

Donatello, signed and dated 1438
(cleaning and restoration, 1973,
Professor and Mrs. John McAndrew)
The completion date of the wooden sculpture of St. John the Baptist, executed by the Florentine master Donatello, had been under dispute for many decades. The 1973 restoration revealed a signature and date of 1438, at last putting to rest the scholarly debate. The date confirms that Donatello carved the sculpture in Florence for the Venetian confraternity of the Florentines. They commissioned a master from their home town to create this sculpture of their patron saint. Donatello rewarded them with a work remarkable for its naturalism and human pathos. It must have greatly impressed and influenced Venetian artists and audiences.

Commentarys on the Gospel of Saint Mathew–22—by Swami Nirmalananda Giri


Jerusalem and Judaea represent the higher reaches of our consciousness which respond to the inner call to prepare for Christhood. In one way of looking at it, they are the only ones who can respond. The others just do not have the “ears to hear.”

Baptism

The ultimate Jordan is Divine Consciousness: God. And the ultimate baptism is immersion in God. “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”1 The supreme mystic of the Eastern Church, Saint Simeon the New Theologian, says that unless we know Christ intimately through union we have not really been baptized in Christ, but only made wet by water.

In meditation our “confessing” of sins occurs when they float up to the surface of our consciousness and are beheld by us and dissolved in the light invoked by meditation. The Revelation of Saint John refers to this symbolically when it says: “And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.”4 The confessing of sins at the baptism of Saint John also represents our letting go of them. For when we are addicted to negativity in any form we clutch on to it. In India they use the simile of the camel who keeps on chewing the nettles even though they pierce its mouth and make it bleed. So the inner baptism is also the letting go of sin.

Since you have told us everything there is to know, why did you ask the question?
