Blessed Angela of Foligno
Mistress of Theologians
(1248-1309)
(1248-1309)
Angela Messenger's Saint for '08
Everyone who has received a patron through the hard work of our own Angela Messenger needs to know what a huge job she took on.
When Angela says your saint picks you she is absolutely dead on. After I worked on this for about 6 or 8 hours (mind you – this was just one saint not a boat load like she did), I figured I had, once again, opened my big trap when I shouldn’t have.
Despair was setting in and I was becoming frantic. I took a break, had a latte, a quick chat with God, and returned to my duty.
And, voila – there she was! Blessed Angela of Foligno jumped off the screen, grabbed me by the eyeballs and said, “What, are you dumb or what”?? Here I am and that woman needs me but, most importantly, I need her.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok now - just step away from the screen, set down your glass of wine, and breathe into a paper bag.
In, out, in, out.
Isn't it 2 am where you are????
LOL!!! No, I am on Pacific time! Yes, it was late but I had to find out who she was!
Adrienne - this is SO exciting on so many levels! Her name is Angela (which is what my confirmation name would have been...long story...)she has the connection to theologians and there's that matter of her distraction while her children were young.
I will be writing more about this on the blog.
God bless you for doing this for me! I love it also because I had never heard of her!Sweeeet!
you've been tagged for a meme at SOV2
I have a holy card blog showing my personal holy cards. I love the saints and was particularly attracted to your post today. I was not familiar with her and I can't wait to learn more. Thanks for posting.
