4 thoughts on “Merciful Like the Father: A Lenten Linkup”

  1. Servant of God Elisabeth Leseur is someone who speaks to me and my situation. Mercy and offering it up for those around her. I keep several of her quotes with me to remind and reinvigorate me. My husband and circle of friends is like hers. Her example is so needed in this modern age.

    1. Oh, I’ve been needing to get to know her! I’ve recommended her to a few people this month and I always forget her name. Thanks!

  2. What a cool idea for a link-up!!!! I love the saints, and I love mercy (St. Faustina and I are pretty tight), so I’m super excited for this! Especially since you want to go for lesser-known saints, since they are awesome, and often under-appreciated. Hmm. I personally think that St. Josephine Bakhita (who is awesome) is a bit mainstream, but I’ve also been told that I’m a bit of a nerd. So…she probably counts as lesser-known.

  3. I, too, love the Communion of Saints! It is an awesome thing when you really think about it—thousands of dear friends who have our back! Here are some lesser known saints that I often ask for help (some are not (yet) Saints):
    – Blessed Chiara Luce Bodano
    – Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo
    – Blessed Miguel Pro, SJ
    – Martyr Franz Jagerstatter
    – St. Charles de Foucauld
    – Charles Anthony Francis Untz
