How Did St Andrew In Archaia For Help

Nicholas’ time filled with wonderful works as the Bishop of Myra is what he is remembered and loved for. He performed many courageous deeds and won the hearts and devotions of many. He often solved great issues for the people such as once when there was a Famine and he miraculously provided for the people. This was done when he asked sailors with ships full of wheat to each give some wheat so that the people would have food but the sailors said they had to have the same measurements of wheat when they arrived at their final destination. To this St. Nicholas promised them, "Do this, and I promise, in the truth of God, that it shall not be lessened or diminished when you get to your destination." (6) Supposedly what he said came true and the sailors had the right amount of wheat even though they had given enough to feed the people of Myra during the famine. Because of this feat many people glorified God because Bishop Nicholas praised God. Another memorable occurrence was when Bishop Nicholas went with many other Bishops to a meeting to debate the nature of the Holy Trinity. One Bishop named Arias believed that Jesus wasn’t equal to God and this offended Nicholas and his beliefs so much that in one account he slapped him in the face which caused him to be jailed and removed from his position as Bishop. However, it is said that Jesus and Mary appeared to him in prison bringing the Bible and the Bishop’s robes which caused him to be made Bishop again. The Bishop Nicholas

St.Michael the Archangel actually helps people so much even some people today. St.Michael helps people find the courage to face danger and carry on (St.Michael the archangel 12). St.Michael helps/affects people today because he has a prayer which helps and makes people feel stronger every time they pray it (Saint Michael Center 4). People who face danger every day working to protect us find that St.Michael’s medal fortifies their faith and reinforces their commitment to the protection for others (St.Michael the Archangel 12). The Archangel St.Michael is the patron saint of the warrior, who catholics have designated as the protector of those who strive to preserve security, safety, and peace (St.Michael the archangel 1). As such members of

“One day, when she was about thirteen, Joan sat in her father’s garden…A sudden flash of light seared her eyes… Somewhere out in the darkness, she heard a powerful male voice ‘Joan,’ it called” (25-26). This was the first time that this had happened and it wasn’t going to be the last time ether. Overtime she had got better at picking out this voice and finally one morning when she was daydreaming she had looked up and had saw the archangel Michael standing right beside her. Then after some time she was visited by the two saints she has always looked up to Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret. She took this as a calling to go and have the young dauphin Charles VII crowned (27-28).

Saint Catherine is important to Christianity, because she is credited with bringing over two-hundred soldiers and members of the emperor 's family, along with fifty pagan philosophers, to Christ. She was sentenced to die by the spiked wheel, but when she touched it, it shattered, and she was then beheaded. The life of Saint Catherine teaches us that pursuing Christ may not bring riches or earthly honors, but it will bring Heavenly riches, and she is a symbol of perseverance and good.

Saint Catherine of Siena was born in Siena, Italy, March 25, 1347. She later became part of the Third order of Saint Dominic, at first against her parents’ wishes. She was named a Doctor of the Church in 1970. She obtained this title by writing over four hundred letters to the current pope and various leaders, trying to restore the Papacy to Rome and bring peace among the whole of Italy. Catherine also provided for the poor and took care of the sick for endless hours. For most of her life, she survived on the Holy Eucharist alone, being so repulsed by food that she could not stomach it. Saint Catherine died on April 29, 1380, at age 33, akin to Jesus Christ. She is patroness against fire, illness, Europe, Italy, miscarriages, people ridiculed for their faith, sexual temptation, and nurses. She is one of the most influential and recognized saints in the Catholic Church.

Saint Jude also has a hospital named after him called “The Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital.” This hospital is devoted to treating kids that have incurable diseases like cancer and sickle cell disease. The reason this hospital is named after Saint Jude is because he is the patron saint of desperate times, and these kids are definitely in desperate times. The kids that are a part of this hospital pray a special prayer to Saint Jude that goes like

St. Anthony, Patron saint of the poor, people whose lives seem uprooted or misdirected, and finding lost objects, is a good saint that I pray to personally and often.

When people hear the word “Saint” they immediately categorize that person as someone who has always done good and to be very blunt is basically some holy prude. For many saints this is not the case at all. Some saints were prostitutes or even murderers before their conversion, these people eventually changed their ways and embraced their religion and did penance for their sins. Even though this is not the case for my saint, it proves the point that anyone can be a saint. The saint I chose is Saint Sarah of Laughter, there are many reasons I chose her as a saint. First and foremost because of the hardship she must of endured throughout her life. A women of 90 years having no children was not only frowned upon but unheard of because a childless

I chose Saint Peter as my Saint because he was one of Jesus’ favorite disciples out of the Twelve Apostles. Although Peter was characterized as having a short temper, Jesus most often addressed him before all the other disciples. Peter was short tempered and was easily angered, but Jesus didn’t see him as these characteristics, He saw him through his heart.

During the period of the 3rd Century (250-538) the Church faced many challenges. These challenges helped make the Church what it is today. One of the events that the Church faced was Constantine’s birth. He was born around 274 and 288. Constantine became the Emperor of Rome in 306. He was known for being the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity. Constantine also established the city of Constantinople. He is also known as Constantine the great, Constantine I and Saint Constantine. He gave a great deal of money to those people in need. He even gave money to non-Christians, who had no claim on him. He provided money, food and clothes to those who had nothing. He was generous to everyone.

St Joan of Arc is a saint and a woman of compassion and faith who had a strong belief in God, Joan of Arc heard God’s call/voices and visions and accepted them. Joan of Arc was born on 6th January 1412, she was the daughter of a poor farmer named Jacques d’ Arc and her mother Isabella. Joan of Arc learnt her domestic skills from her mother. In 1426 at the age of 13 Joan of Arc began to have visions and voices: 'When I was thirteen, I had a voice from God to help me govern myself'. (History Mole).

Andrea It is traditionally popular because, it is according to the Christian Bible, Saint Andrew was one of the earliest disciples of Jesus and one of the twelve Apostles. Saint Andrew was the first disciple of Jesus. He was the younger brother of Saint Peter and was born in Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee. The brothers were fishermen by trade. Jesus called them to be his disciples by saying that he would make them “fishers of

St Peter, some call him a backstabber and others call him the gatekeeper to heaven or the rock of the church, some don’t really care who he is. St Peter was on of Christ’s first followers. He was the most outspoken and enthusiastic disciples, one of Jesus’ best friends, an apostle and a “pillar” of the church.

Acts 8 tells us, this man was in Jerusalem to worship the God of Israel, but was not saved. However, he gains religion from hearing the preaching, in a revival under the leading of Peter and John in Samaritan City. The story goes, that God sought after this man, after he left Samaritan City and divinely leading Philip to him, in a desert place. As if, it was a divine election of God’s sovereign will. Acts 8:26-40 tells us, an angel appeared to Philip and told him to go join this man in the chariot. Later riding down the road, Philip baptized the man in the water that they come upon and the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. As this man witnessed what just happened, he left the scene rejoicing. This opened the door for all Gentiles to be saved by God. Later, the story goes on to say, some ancients viewed this man to be the father of evangelism in Ethiopia (Carter and Earle, p. 122).

I learned a large amount of information during my research. I learned about Saint Peter’s basic biography, his accomplishments and what a brave and faithful individual he was. Saint Peter was born at around 1 AD in Bethsaida Gaulanitis. He was a fisherman that got converted into a pure disciple of Jesus. He died for Jesus and is known as the leader of the twelve disciples. In conclusion, Saint Peter was a very special person that devoted his life to make the world a better
