A few of my new RGBP friends have created saints' names for their blogging identities. These include St. Casserole and St. Inuksuk, though I think I'm missing a couple more people. I think it's a great idea to remind ourselves every chance we get that we're ALL saints: those who are being sanctified in Christ.
However, for my weekly discipline of at least one humor post per week (naturally melancholy sort that I am), I thought it might be fun to challenge my blogging friends to create saints there ought to be. Like "St. Elsewhere" of classic television, these made-up saints' names are fun. They could also be the patrons of very important people and things. To get us started, I suggest:
- St. Carriout: Patron saint of those who work in fast food restaurants, and their customers
- St. Febreza: Patron saint of those with too little time to deep clean their homes
- St. Illegibus: Patron saint of physicians and the pharmacists who must decipher their prescriptions
- St. Liberalis: Patron saint of the progressive left, and moderates who live in the Bible Belt
- St. Procrastor: Patron saint of the last-minute
- St. Rectitude: Patron saint of the upright, uptight, and/or the religious right
I hope you'll add your own candidates for sainthood in the comments!

Thanks, D.P.! I knew I could count on you!
Two I need:
St. Nessuno Nombre: , patron saint of people who can't remember other people's names.
St. Stupido: Patron saint for the times you slam your palm against your forhead and say, "Duh."
Thanks to my English to Italian dictionary, since I don't know any Italian or Latin.
Or how about St. Seniouro Momento, Patron Saint for Senior Moments.
Hey, this is fun. What is fun? I forget!
Ok, Now I have to get ready to leave for a trip.
Hehehehe, Proclaiming! Those are good! Mutual travel blessings to you, as I get ready for my trip.
When I did CPE we consecrated a new clock in honor of St. Timex the Punctual. A friend and I wrote a complete order of worship including the hymns: "Take Time to Be Holy" and "Sweet Hour of Prayer."
Really enjoyed these.
If my brain weren't so mushy from a very long week, I'm sure in time, I could think up a couple more. Thanks for sparking the humor and imagination.
