U have obviously seen “Saints Protect Us”? Some saints do double duty and
are patrons for more than one job. There’s even a patron saint of prison
guards. And airline pilots and undertakers and sewage treatment plant workers.
But not to worry. If you don’t need a patron saint, you don’t need one. There
are some OK saints. Like Francis of Assisi is patron of the animals. And if
you don’t hate communism, there is Chesucristo, patron saint of the Cuban
Revolution. I like Dymphna, Patron Saint of the Insane. natch.
Holy Tic Toc batman, it’s time to go clip roses for Dymphna.
