Hi Im remy and I post a comment last time and its not here! And I think that this website is so interesting because we had to do this project and we had to pick our own saints and chose Maria because shes a good model to everyone..... Thank u
I LOVE HER PURITY. SHE IS MY PATRONESS AND MY ROLE MODEL FOR GUIDING MY LIFE AS A YOUTH.
yes, at school my teacher said that i have to pick a saint name and didn't know what to pick so i picked saint maria. there are saint cecilia, saint flora, saint anne, saint eliazabeth but i wanted to pick this instead.
her story is so wonderful. She is My report..
Happy name (Confirmation) day, Kat!!!
Peace.
She is so needed today..in a world of worship of the flesh seems paramount..I am blessed to have a first class relic of this most cherished child of God.
