The Beheading of St. Bartholomew
Yesterday was the Feast of St. Bartholomew, also known as Nathaniel. I tried to find a decent picture of him holding his skin - he was skinned alive and then beheaded - but most of them were too gory and I would have lost my 'G' rating for this blog.
Another name of one of the Noisykids - one of the ones taller than me!
Novena Complete
We finished a 5-day 'Novena' today, asking for a healthy baby and a safe delivery. Some of the children are praying for twins. Some are praying for quadruplets or quintuplets, and one just wants what sounds like 'twin-chocolates.'
We have been praying:
St Therese,
the Little Flower,
please pick me
a Rose from the
Heavenly Garden
and send it to me
with a Message
of Love.
Ask God
to grant me the
Favor I Thee
implore and
tell Him I
will Love
Him each
day More
and More.
UPDATE:
1. THIS IS A FIVE DAY NOVENA
2. TO BE SAID BEFORE 11 A.M.
3. SAY 5 OUR FATHER'S, 5 HAIL MARY'S, 5 GLORY BE'S
4. ON THE LAST DAY, SAY 10 OUR FATHER'S, 10 HAIL MARY'S, AND 10 GLORY BE'S INSTEAD.

Not even the Saint Bartholomew from the Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel? That can't be too bad ... it's in a church. LOL.
Of course, I've seen Saint Anthony of Padua's incorrupt larnyx, which was a bit creepy at the time.
