Take me as your pattern, just as I take Christ for mine. (1 Corinthians 11:1)
All the saints walked along the same path that Jesus walked – they led a life of love and truth. (1 John 2:6)
We are called to imitate the saints – their life, their faith and their teachings. (Hebrews 13:7)
We are to have a great devotion to our patron saint and to have at least three saints to be our models and intercessors. The patron saints of our Community are:
Saint Anthony of Padua for zeal for the Word of God
Saint Francis Xavier and St Therese of Lisieux for zeal for souls
Saint Francis of Assisi for accepting suffering
Saint Joseph for purity of heart
Saint Pope John XXIII as an intercessor for our charism of opening the Scriptures to the world
