Thank you very much for your time and effort.

God Bless you and your kin.

OK,

So if a person is a military physician, that means he is both a doctor and a soldier.

In this case, can he have two patron saints: Luke(patron saint of physicians) and Michael(the protector archangel) ?

What do you think ? Can a person have only one patron saint ?

Thank you,

God Bless.
'AdminiGal' sweetie, we do not pray to saints. We ask for their intercession. And patron saints were real people who lived exemplary Christian lives and are considered by the Catholic Church to be worthy of praise.

Just wanted to clear this up for you honey.

God Bless you and your kin.
The above goes for 'elyon' too.

God Bless you and your kin.
..... and for 'theophilus' and 'kacstarlight'. I do not know how I missed you guys. So that must have cleared things up.

God Bless all of you and your kin.

Hon you should have just said Fellow Catholics, you know how Some of our fellow Christians misunderstand us Catholics especially when it comes to saints or Mary, then again they still would have answered with the same Idol worship rubbish!

Anyway to the question just do a Novena to both of them but make Saint Micheal your main saint if you are Military 'for protection' there is no limit on how many saints you do a Novena too!

God Bless


Edit;To Prophet or should I say the self appointed prophet,

There is an Image that represent the Christian statue.
In that ,ye must be Born Again.

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

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?
