Saints for Sinners - Saints for Hope

You may be familiar with Touchdown Jesus and the cool medalions made by Saints for Sinners. The company founder, Rob Clemenz, puts out an informative and uplifting newsletter. His most recent had a cool article about Pope Leo and some Saints worth knowing.

Rob has given us permission to repost that article here. Make sure to check out his site!

Archangel Raphael, patron of healing, love, and the "saint" invoked to bring about happy meetings, is featured above, bringing love, healing, and a saintly football game of Good Sportsmanship in Paris, when the saints play the Steelers in France! We are praying Raphael is with Pope Leo, in mind, body, and spirit, as he begins healing from cancer recently detected.

Pope Leo serves as "God On Earth," according to the Roman Catholic Church, and for all of us, he serves as a reminder about working and finding cures for cancers.

The saints best known for comforting friends and family working through the tolls of cancer are numerous.

Saint Peregrine is well-known as a patron saint invoked for help with cancer. His story is interesting too, because it includes a tale about Peregrine punching

someone in the nose. He apologized though and all was forgiven. Apologizing is good for the mind, body and soul too! (#TellThem )

Saint Agatha is invoked for raising awareness about breast cancer challenges and the fight for finding a cure. On the front of our www.SaintsforHOPE.com website, a lady is featured receiving treatment for breast cancer. Her picture is posted with permission. #FCANCER

Saint Gennaro, whose name is spelled many different ways (Jannaro, Janarius, etc ) is a patron of blood diseases and cancers and pictured below, on one of the clasps used to attach him to book bags, key rings, and the charm bracelets of phlebotomist's Red Cross Blood Donor equipment. My brother Kevin successfully fought the blood disease Multiple Myeloma for many years. He ultimately passed away from Sepsis.

We started with Jude and we'll end with Saint Jude. He is known as the patron saint of impossible situations and hopeless causes. However, we prefer to follow the thoughts and notions of the Queen in Lewis Carrol's "Through the Looking Glass." The Queen tells Alice, "Well, I've dreamed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." I have too. #TOLDYOU!
