#St Cajetan

[portraitsofsaints]

Saint Cajetan 1480-1547 Feast Day: August 7 Patronage: job seekers, the unemployed, workers, bankers, gamblers, Argentina, Italy

Saint Cajetan was born into a noble, Venetian (Italy), family. He studied law before he became a priest at 35. These were troubled times in the church with unscrupulous and uneducated priests and the start of the Protestant revolt. Instead of leaving the Church, he sought to reform it by forming a new order called the Congregation of Clerks Regular (Theatines). They established hospitals, lived in the spirit of monasticism and ministered to the poor and sick. He established a bank as an alternative to usury. (The Bank of Naples) The order made converts by their zeal and love for God and neighbor.

Tips for Business Start Ups: introducing the Patron Saints of Business Start Up

Every religion has its God(s) and every human activity has its own patron saint to pray to: if you’ve lost your car keys, a prayer to St Anthony can help you find them. If you’ve joined a lost cause, best pray to St. Jude Thaddeus and if you’ve recently opened a coffee shop and can’t find your customers, a call to St. Drogo (patron saint of coffee house owners) might put you back on the right…

On this day in history, 24 December 1837, was born Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie, duchess in Bavaria by birth and empress of Austria by marriage, best known by the nickname “Sisi.”

The three royal dignitaries who entered the richly furnished salon at number 8 of Ludwigstraße nearing 20:30 on 24 December 1837 were ready to remain there for the subsequent hours. [...] The three executives – Sebastian Freiherr von Schrenck, ministry of Justice, Ludwig Ritter Wiesinger, ministry of the Interior, and the ministry of the Royal House Friedrich Freiherr Gise – had been summoned to the palace to testify the birth of a Wittelsbach princess.

[...] Precisely a hour and thirteen minutes after the arrival of the ministers to the palace, their wait was over: the second daughter of duke Maximilan and duchesss Ludovika had entered the world. The ministers were then called into the boudoir of the duchess, where the wetnurse had taken the infant.

[...] The official act of testimony was carried on rapidly. After seeing the newborn and expressing their obligatory congratulations, Sebastian Freiherr von Schrenck, Ludwig Ritter Wiesinger and Freiherr Gise left the boudoir. They annotated in the protocol the birth of another princess in the house of Wittelsbach exactly at 22:43 on 24 December 1837. They had then carried on their duties and could go home to their families.

The newborn was given the name Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie. The godmother was Ludovika's elder sister, Elisabeth Ludovika of Prussia, who would become queen of Prussia three years after the birth of her goddaughter. The second name, Amalie, was given in honour of her godmother's twin sister, the future queen of Saxony. Lastly, the third name, Eugenie, was for the cousin who had assisted Ludovika during the labour. Two days after her birth, Elisabeth was christened in Striftskirche St. Katejan, Collegiate of Saint Cajetan, the court church of Munich known as Theatinerkirche.

Sorry, just wondering--I want to send my friend a spell jar, or something like that. Ideally, with a saint medal. Do you know of a shop that sells something like that? She's interviewing for a promotion.

Sometimes a local Catholic shop would sell metals or even online is a good choice as well if you need it ASAP, a good saint for job stuff is St. Cajetan and maybe add some orange peel to the bottle for luck. I hope this helps, good luck.💕

Let's go St Cajetan ! (Patron Saint of good luck, gamblers, etc.)

FUCK YEAH ST CAJETAN LETSSSSGOOOOOOOOOOOO

He's been added to the post-schism list!! But he's going to need a ton of votes and propaganda to make it to the bracket!!

[earlgreytea68]

Haha--I am also Catholic in the superstitious way and agree that St. Anthony comes through when I lose stuff. It made me laugh to see you describe "the saint in charge of employment" (is that Joseph?) instead of calling him a patron saint--reminded me of the demons "in charge of" stuff like health insurance in your Crooked Love fic.

hahahaha! I guess that really is how I think of them!

When I Googled I also got St. Joseph for the result but I swear the candle was some kind of Italian saint with an Italian name I'd never heard of before, like, a completely random and obscure saint name. THIS IS IT. Not the candle I got -- mine had the picture of the saint on it -- but it's Saint Cajetan, that was the saint in charge of employment whose candle I lit lol

ID 1: a text message response reading "Not quite. Praying for saints' intercession is basically asking them to pray for you. You're not asking them to save you, you're asking them to pray to God on your behalf for HIM to save you. Does that make sense?" End ID 1.]

ID 2: The "I'm sorry women" Diary of a Wimpy Kid meme, with Mrs Heffley standing over Rodrick with her hands on her hips. Rodrick is looking down at a notebook, frowning. The text is edited to say "Do you have anything you want to say to catholics? I'm sorry catholics." End ID 2.]

ID 3: A text conversation between two people, with one person having grey text bubbles and the other having blue.

G: "Yeah you would pray to them for help but it's indirect help if that makes sense? They are with God so they can intercede directly."

B: "So I've got the correct concept just the incorrect idea about who intercedes"

G: "Like, if I need help because I am unemployed, I might pray a novena to St Cajetan, which is like 9 days of asking him to pray for me."

B: "And instead of saying "arthur morgan save me" when I'm coughing violently I should say "arthur morgan pray to god to save me"

G: "Yeah, Arthur Morgan pray for us. In Latin "Ora pro nobis." End ID 3.]

ID 4: the original "save me white girl" meme by Shail @/dawgpleasee on twitter edited to say "pray for me white girl. white girl. white girl ora pro nobis." it has a sepia-like filter over it and is edited to be in a gothic-script font. End ID 4.]

ive found that when i say “save me [x character] save me” im usually saying it about a character that has gone through something similar to what im currently going through (ie saying Save me arthur morgan when i’m coughing horribly) and it dawned on me recently that it’s essentially the same as praying to saints for intercession
