How shall I not weep when I think of death? For I have seen my brother in his coffin, without glory or comeliness. What, then, do I expect? And what do I hope for? Only grant me, O Lord, repentance before the end.

i love saint moses and saint antony  i also love saint tomas: he was a hermit who prayed a lot and fasted and learnt humility. God blessed him with the gift of prophecy and other spiritual gifts. http://anchorites.tripod.com/copticanchorites/id10.html |

no time to post things now. My patron saint is Constantine the great. But I hate this name to be honest. I would rather be named Jordan instead.

Blessed Nazarius practiced the ascetic life. His clothes were tattered. He wore his shoes without removing them for six years. Headscarves cover a multitude of sins.

St Genevieve, pictured in my avatar.
I grew up non-Orthodox, and I always wondered why my mother didn't give me the family name of Kathryn Genevieve, but instead Kathryn Amanda. When I was in my teens, I was watching the old musical of Camelot where Guinevere is praying to St Genevieve and I was like, "Whoah, there's a St Genevieve?". I looked her up, and her feast day is on my birthday. It felt like it was "meant to be".
St Winifred of Wales is the saint who I chose for my daughter.
My husband chose St Longinus, because he said that at one point (even fairly recently) in his life, it would have taken a miracle like Christ's blood falling on his eyes to remove his proverbial blindness to God and to faith.
