Patron saint of the year

We're five hours into our 22 hour drive. So far we've made one stop for dinner (aka a strawberry smoothie and a bagel), prayed a bus rosary, and met our fellow riders via "speed dating." But then we did something cool! A Christmas bag was passed around with a bunch of saint names in it and we were all asked to pick one to be our patron saint for the year. I ended up with Saint Margaret of Scotland, who I actually don't know anything about. So now I get to spend the year learning about a wonderful woman and asking her to pray for me.

Oh! And we also got an intention to pray for on our sheets. Mine is for big families. Not quite sure what that has to do with me but I'm excited to discover it this year :)

By the way, we'll be spending a lot of time in adoration this week so please let me know if you have anything you need extra prayers for. Know that I'm keeping you all in my prayers for things you've expressed in the past. I hope to keep you updated on all the amazing things that are sure to happen!
