Two feast days in 2 days

Numbers Two and Seven have reason to celebrate beyond the warmth of summer: their name days are 2 days apart this week!

Husband brought the most useful gift of a memory stick to the delight of Number Two a couple of days ago, and she thought it a "cool" way to celebrate the saint of her name, who was a queen, the mother of the second pope and is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. I am not able to find a picture of her saint, but at Notre Dame, where she is moving to in two weeks, pictures of saints will be part of everyday life!

Number Seven's saint is a more modern one, and she learned to say her long name early in life... And one day she will read her works, many of them which have found slices to live in our bookshelves. Her essays on women and feminism are deep, modern, and I believe, still ahead of our time.

Number 7 was prayed for by at least 60 people (me included) participating in a foot pilgrimage to Czestochowa. I asked for prayers in her intention - unfortunately I didn't realize it was also No.2's feast day! But I'm sure God will spread the grace around :) Love from Poland!
