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…

Hey kind of a weird request but since it’s Sunday and y’all will (hopefully) be going to Mass: please pray for me; I have to set sleeves into a costume today and I’ve never done it on a human scale before. I’m pretty nervous and I can’t afford to mess up because I don’t have any extra fabric for this costume. Specifically if you can, pray to St Joseph (my patron saint and the patron of this blog!) and St Homobonus, the patron saint of tailors. Thank you!

Here are some random-ass Saints because I love a fanfic!
There is a fan fiction that I love a LOT called Patron Saint by @isadancurtisproduction:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/12367308
So the entire time I was going to school full time and suffering mental overload I kept thinking about who would be the Saints for each chapter, and who’d be Saints for Wade and Peter... sorry this is so late, but I finally have it all written out for you guys,, but seriously GO READ THIS IT’S AWESOME!
SAINTS FOR EACH CHAPTER:
1) street corners - Blessed Francis of Fermo (was killed on a street corner in an act of mob violence)
2)milkshakes - St. Cyrianicus the Executioner (when he was executed, milk flowed from is body instead of blood)
3) dignity - St. Sisoes, hermit (he had a good sense of all people and creatures having value and worth)
4) tailors - Blessed Benito Solana Ruiz (he was a tailor who was killed in the Spanish Civil War as a martyr)
5) heros - St. Michael the Archangel
6) high-tops - St. Aniaanus of Alexandria (he made and gave away shoes)
7) gilded rooms - St. Louis King of France (he was a king, so yeh)
8) sleep - St. Demetrius of Sermium (he had visions in his dreams)
9) overprotective husbands - St. Joseph
10) truth - St. Bonaventure
11) velvet - St. Homobonus
12) prostitutes St. Nicholas of course! :)
13) TVs St. Claire (she saw and heard visions of things on the wall of her room when she was sick)
14) espionage St. Joshua (patron of spies, espionage, and intelligence gathering)
15) gifts St. Nicholas again!
16) coffee (well coffee shops AND really ugly people) St. Drogo

St. Barbara - explosives
St. Genesius of Rome - torture victims
St. Christopher - single men who're dating
St. Drausnius - invincible people

Summary:
Peter is desperate. Hungry and alone on the streets, he's ready and willing to do anything to change his situation, even if just for a night. And sharing a stranger's bed would be no hardship, especially when the alternatives include dumpster-diving for dinner and sleeping, arms wrapped around him, beneath a chilly and indifferent sky.
Then a man named Wade Wilson steps into his life.
