St. Monica’s patron is verbal abuse, which may not be realative to everybody, but she could remind you that with patience there isn’t always a silver lining. Whatever you are going through right now, just rememeber you will get trough it. Sadly, her husband did die, but this set Monica and her kids free to live their live openly with out being scared of abuse.

St. Cecilia was a maurder from a Roman. Instead of changing herself for them, she decided to let them make her suffer, as long as she has God with her. They attempted to kill her in three different ways, the last was stabbing her neck three times. She lived for three more days after that and preached in her last three days.

In life it can be hard to be ourselves. There are many quotes that say things like “be yourself” or “If you have to stand alone then be a shadow.” It can be hard sometimes to do so though. We sometimes get sucked into what everybody else is doing, rather then being ourselves. St. Cecilia only had her brother and husband, but originally her husband didn’t even agree with her, she kept on standing up for herself. The reason why she went through everything is to go to heaven and become a saintly. She accomplished both.

When Joan of Arc heard angels calling her to lead the French army against England, she didn’t hesitate, but she put into action! People called her crazy and kept on testing her about her relgion, but she was always confident in God and herself. She was later on martyred, but her legacy lived on.

Joan of Arc was obviously confident in her religion. We need to live like her. By this I mean to not stay in your house thinking about everything you should have done, but rather just put your mind in it. If you get judged, so be it. We only live once and like Joan of Arc follow your heart and never stop believing in the beautiful things God does for us.
