My Patrons

Because my mother was Lithuanian, I made a point to ask for the intercession of Our Lady of Siluva.  St. Casmir, besides being a Polish patron, is also Lithuanian.  So, I prayed for the intentions of Roman and Helena, Betty and Monique--my Polish friends.  My pockets were full of intentions, so many.  I prayed for everyone and everything.

Our Lady of Siluva

Yes, this is the President-Elect praying at the altar with an image of Our Lady of Siluva.  I found this today in an article in National Catholic Reporter, "How Joe Biden's Catholic Roots Have Shaped His Public Life."

The image of Our Lady of Siluva jumped out at me.  Our Lady of Siluva is Our Lady of Lithuania, you know.  I love her.  Being 64% Lithuanian, I am proud to claim her.  So it was a blessing for me to see her.
