Saint Name Generator

I prayed for a patron saint for this blog and clicked.

St. Teresa of Avila.

I'd like to think it's because she's the patron of "people ridiculed for their piety."

Alas, I'm sure it's because she's the patron of "people in need of grace."

Fun factoid: St Theresa of Avila was a contemporary of Tomas Luis de Victoria. She knew him, and her nieces and nephews received music instruction from him.
