My "favs": Saint Gianna Molla, a mother who gave everything for her child, to the point of death; and who in life gave everything to and for Christ Jesus.

Saint Joan of Arc, woman of courage and valour;

Saint Therese of Lisieux and Saint Teresa of Avila;

and of course of Mother.

Happy All Saints to the Mamas!

St. Jerome, who inspires me with his kindly approach to everyone, his all-inclusive tolerance, his patience, and his friendly smile.

I was St. Margaret Clitherow for All Hallows a few years ago, and my firstborn is named after her--very cool saint mother!
