Friends in High Places
TLS of Summa Mommas has excellent crew members.
The Blessed Mother is numero uno and in a special category much as my own mom is compared to my friends:
- Blessed Margaret of Costello - bereft of the senses of sight and hearing, but full in soul.
- St. Pio - saint of the confessional, he had a great bullsh*t detector, which is something all the Irish need.
- St. Thomas Aquinas - not for his work, but for his sanguinity at being called "The Dumb Ox"
- St. Therese of Liseux. 'If you are willing to bear serenely the trial of being displeasing to yourself, you will be to Jesus a pleasant place of shelter,' she wrote.
- St. Thomas More - because I was born on his feast day and my given name is the same as his.
- St. Patrick - freer of Ireland from paganism
- St. Anthony, boyhood pal
Claiming them is easy; just hope they claim me.
