Thinking of the how every saints at one point had sang, and I just thought of our dear theoligian and what his voice would've sounded like.

You lost your keys again?

A pretty gnarly thing is they got the jaw of St. Anthony of Padua as a relic, and the reliquary goes hard af.

So I had this idea and I drew it as fast as I could

[theaustinstollhaus]

I think we non-Catholics are really missing out on the idea of saints. What a galaxy-brain idea. Not gods, but little authorities to consult on even the most niche topics. Like a bureaucracy of faith. Praying to the almighty Creator feels overwhelming, but my favorite fifth-century Greek bachelor just gets me.
