Any thoughts?
How does one go about picking a name saint? Inchoate spiritual affinity? Vocation and patronage? Mere good taste for names? (For that matter, what about godparents and sponsors?)
I'll continue to pray and think about this idea, but for now here a few "favorites" I've bounced around:
Augustine Zhao Rong (July 9, China, missions)
Godfrey of Duynen (July 9, Real Presence, anti-Calvinism) or perhaps any of the Martyrs of Gorkum
Ignatius of Loyola (July 31, the Exercises, Counter-Reformation) or perhaps some other Jesuit, such as Francis Xavier (December 3, Far East, missions, healing) or Peter Claver (September 9, missions, slaves, Africans)
Francis de Sales (January 24, writers, practical piety, anti-Calvinism)
John the Apostle (December 27, writers, theologians)
