Tuesday, February 3 was the feast of Saint Blaise. We took Blaise to mass for a special blessing to celebrate his namesake. The Saint Blaise blessing uses candles (unlit!!) to bless the throat, as Saint Blaise is the patron saint of throat disease. (We Catholics have patron saints for everything- one of the reasons I love being Catholic!) Hopefully Saint Blaise is blessing little Blaise's gums, too- as two additional teeth are poking through (ouch!) and patient Mama is burning off some of her stay in Purgatory. (What a very Catholic post this turned out to be!) Be blessed!
