2012 Patron Saint for the Year Devotion - UPDATED with Results

Update:The 2012 Devotion Drawing is now closed.  Thank you for the 268 participants in this year's devotion!

I am very pleased to again be a facilitator for the Patron Saint of the Year Devotion.  I have been part of this annual tradition since 2006 and have helped coordinate devotions for hundreds of families.  It is my pleasure to now be part of the 2012 Patron Saint of the Year Devotion.

You can read about the past devotions at the following posts:
Again, I would like to take a few minutes to explain the devotion, which has its roots in St. Faustina.

When will the saints be drawn?  This year I will start the drawing of saints on the Octave Day of Christmas after the 10 AM Solemn High Mass and the recitation of both the Veni Creator Spiritus and the Litany of Saints.  Saints will be emailed starting that afternoon and thereafter.

 St. Louis IX - Virgin and Child Adored by Saint Louis, King of France

What is the Saint for the Year Devotion? Here is my post on this from years past to clarify the matter. This is from the person that draws all of the saints. I don't draw the saints. I will merely pass on your name or screenname to her so that she will draw a saint for you. Also, I will pass on the name of any of your family or friends that would like to participate. This isn't superstition. St. Faustina did the same thing!

Last year dozens of people received saints to be their special patron, and there were miraculous connections. It was truly amazing. We pray that this year the Holy Spirit will again work so that all participants receive a saint that they will be able to pray to for aid throughout the entire year:
Saint for the Year

I want to tell you about the practice of picking a saint at random to be your “holy protector” for the year. Actually, the saint is the one who chooses us though. The tradition of letting a saint “pick you,” is not a new one. St. Faustina wrote about it in her diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul. The excerpt is below.

“There is a custom among us of drawing by lot, on New Year's Day, special Patrons for ourselves for the whole year. In the morning during meditation, there arose within me a secret desire that the Eucharistic Jesus be my special Patron for this year also, as in the past. But, hiding this desire from my Beloved, I spoke to Him about everything else but that. When we came to refectory for breakfast, we blessed ourselves and began drawing our patrons. When I approached the holy cards on which the names of the patrons were written, without hesitation I took one, but I didn't read the name immediately as I wanted to mortify myself for a few minutes. Suddenly, I heard a voice in my soul: ‘I am your patron. Read.’ I looked at once at the inscription and read, ‘Patron for the Year 1935 - the Most Blessed Eucharist.’ My heart leapt with joy, and I slipped quietly away from the sisters and went for a short visit before the Blessed Sacrament, where I poured out my heart. But Jesus sweetly admonished me that I should be at that moment together with the sisters. I went immediately in obedience to the rule.”Excerpt from Divine Mercy in My Soul, the Diary of St. Faustina"

I have a container full of names ... I will be glad to pick out the name for you and send you the name if you prefer. I am so excited by my saint(s) ... I already picked mine. Well, I should say that they picked me ... I have Saints Marcus and Marcellianus ... they are twin brothers who were sent to prison before their death. St. Sebastian visited them continually in prison and helped keep their faith alive. They are buried near St. Felix and are specifically honored in Spain.

OK now ... here are a couple of immediate ironies in regard to these saints ... I have a SPECIAL place in my heart for twins! As a child, I LOVED reading the story about St. Sebastian. I had a children's book of saints and I think I wore out the pages on St. Sebastian! Felix is my grandfather's name! Silvia, our exchange student, is from Spain! I am so excited to have these two saints to walk through 2006 with me! I'm looking forward as to where and how they will intercede for me.

Results:

To start things off, the turnout this year has been great.  I have posted below all of the results as 6:45 PM CST on January 1.  I was chosen by St. Joachim, the father of the Blessed Virgin Mary!  I am honored to be chosen by him and to read more on him in order to deepen my Marian devotion.  I know that it is for this purpose that God has willed for me to be chosen by St. Joachim as a special protector for 2012.

If you are not familiar your saint, I encourage you to research online and even pick up a copy of Father Hugo Hoever's "Live of the Saints," from which I read daily.  While the book does not include saints canonized in recent years, it is something that I am highly recommending.  You may find information on your saint on my page dedicated to the saints: http://acatholiclife.blogspot.com/2005/09/saints.html and here is a prayer to honor any saint: http://acatholiclife.blogspot.com/2006/01/prayer-to-venerate-any-saint.html

To save space, results and future result postings will be put in the comment box.

St. Theodoret of Antioch is my patron this year. His feast day is Oct. 22. I did a little research. At first I was repelled by his martyrdom. I confess,that I sometimes confess, that I am so ever grateful that I don't have the vocation of a martyr. But I know that I should just trust God, and that He knows best what's good for me. (gulp) (But Theodoret was stretched out on the rack, and burned, and other inhuman tortures) Lord have mercy on me.
Then I was repulsed by Theodoret's response to his torturer. He told him that he was more or less going to hell. Shouldn't a saint respond like Jesus, "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do?"
Perhaps, I'm too critical. Theodoret is being tortured. Who knows what one will say and do under stress? (shudder) Besides, Theodoret's words of condemnation turned out to be a prophesy.
I continued researching sites and found some facts that interested me. Theodoret is considered an early church father. He wrote, and some of his writings are still available to
us. Here is a quote that resonated well with me: "To see visible objects we need the eyes of the body. To understand intelligible truths we need the eyes of the mind. To have the vision of divine things we cannot do without faith. What the eye is for the body, faith is for reason, puts it in contact with visible things; reason needs faith to show it divine things."
Theodoret was a scholar, and is considered a contributor to the Antiochene School of theology, which fought against the heresy of Monophysites. This heresy rejected the divinity of Jesus. Theodoret was a participant in the Council of Chalcedon.
So, now I'm anxious to be under the patronage of Theodoret. May he pray for an increase of my faith, wisdom and knowledge, courage, and help me to increase my trust in God's Providence.
Thank you for my new guide.

I am stunned and very excited that my patron saint for 2012 is Our Lady of Sorrows. Wow! I have a deep and abiding love of Mary and actually converted to the Catholic church after the death of my youngest child (SIDS). A friend brought me to daily Mass and I was especially comforted as I sat gazing into the eyes of a statue of Mary each day. It was through her that I was able to find peace at that time. I continue to be devoted to Mary and she has been a model for me as I have walked through other tragedies in my life.

Thank you so very much for sending a Saint to my son, my granddaughter and me.
Saint Servulus chose me.
Saint Veronica of Milan chose my son.
Both of these Saints lived in poverty.
Saint Servulus was a beggar all his life, and Saint Veronica begged on behalf of her Order.
Makes me wonder if this is telling my son and myself something about being worldly.

My granddaughter was chosen by :
Our Lady of Lourdes!!!
What a blessed girl she is.
She is happy beyond words.

Thank you so much for this devotion.
God bless you, your family and loved ones,
Always!
Sincerely,
Cindy

Thank you so very much for sending a Saint to me! Father Charles of St. Andrew chose me! He dedicated himself to spiritual direction, especially through the sacrament of Confession. He was canonized in June of 2007, the same month and year I made my confession after have been away from the church for more than 20 years! May God reward you and our Blessed Mother protect you!

Hi, this is Terri. I did indeed get St. Eligius as my patron saint this year. I don't know much about him at all. When I looked him up I realized I had helped edit a family member's art paper about a painting of St. Eligius (painting by Petrus Christus). I discovered he is the patron saint of metalworkers but also the patron saint of horses and those who work with horses. One of my children is beginning horseback riding.

What appealed to me most was this information I found: "The use of one's talents and wealth for the welfare of humanity is a very true reflection of the image of God. In the case of St. Eligius, he was so well liked that he attracted many to Christ. His example should encourage us to be generous in spirit and kind and happy in demeanor." an admirable role model.

I think having St. John the Evangelist pick me is a good fit, as I am a lector at my parish. I am praying to him to improve my skills, and to understand the readings I am to proclaim. Also, to read so others understand the messages! Pat

This year I was choosen by St. Cloud. I cannot find a book about him but did find he is the patron of carbuncles. I am driving a lady to college who cannot drive because she had foot surgery having carbuncles removed. St. Cloud, pray for us.

Dear Matthew,
I just e-mailed you to ask for a patron saint to choose me for 2013. I learned a lot about my patron saint this year -- Saint John Cantius. I was very honored to have him as my patron saint-- I hope one day to go to Poland his homeland and to the church St. John Cantius in Chicago. I also became familiar with the Canon Regulars from that church site. Known for his good humor and humility... I can only hope that the same is said of me! Oddly or not so oddly when it comes to our family of the saints... I induced my mom to write you and she was given St. Peter of Alcantera whose feast day is the day before St. John Cantius's feast day. I was very excited about that... altho I think my mom was a little hesitant to be excited. We are both converts (as well as a brother who converted) and choosing a patron saint for the year is a new thing for us. I look forward to 2013 and the saint who will choose me! My best to you, Lisa
