St. Matthias

St. Joseph is a saint I have started to communicate more with. I guess he is my patron saint at the moment. Pretty sure I have written about that a bit. Anyways...
I was reading another blog that suggested finding a patron saint for the year ahead. Well, I figured having just recently started a small devotion to St. Joseph, why not have another saint to converse with? The more the merrier right!
Well, using the random Saint's Name Generator I found another saint. The thing is, I've known about this saint. The name of this saint is one of my favorite names. His name is the same name of one of my favorite characters from a book series I read as a kid (and would like to get back to reading some day). It's a name you'd think would be more common, but I don't think it is.
I was very surprised and extremely excited when this saint popped up on my screen.
Drum roll please...
My new patron saint for 2014 and hopefully longer is...

Let me just say, he is an awesome saint! He waited patiently and when his name was called he jumped in and filled the vacant spot among the Apostles and did a bang up job from what I read.
Here's to learning more about St. Matthias and a wonderful 2014!

St. Matthias, pray for me.

Peace all
