St. Juan Diego lived a simple life as a weaver, laborer, and a farmer. Every day, he would walk to daily mass, which was 15 miles from his home. He would rise before dawn to begin his journey to daily mass. One of these days, Juan Diego found out his beloved uncle was sick and dying.

Saint Francis was one of the most selfless people to live. Francis gave up his rich and lavish life style to live as Jesus Christ did. There are many qualities that Saint Francis possessed that I can connect to a few people I know, but the few that I am going to be relating to my life would be his generosity, how prayerful he was and his humbleness. I believe that two of my close friends possess qualities that make them like Francis.

My saint is Saint Francis de Sales. I chose Francis because he is the patron saint of the deaf. My mom is half deaf. He even created a sign language so a deaf man could hear about God.
