| St. Ellen and one of her projects. |
If you are wondering who Freddy
is, he is the patron saint of the deaf. His saint day is July 18, and he died
in 838. He is starting to gather ear wax and needs to be removed. Not for
anything, but no one listens to him!
But who do we replace him with?
How about a woman? And I know just the woman, St. Ellen of Holbrook, the new
patron saint of the deaf. Yes, it has a nice ring to it and I think it might
fly, I mean we do have a progressive Pope, don't we?
Now you are wondering why I
make this recommendation, and it is because she has extensive experience with
the deaf and audio challenged since she is married to me for 46 years!
But it doesn't end there! At
the Wanna-Be-Bank and Trust Co., people come from miles around to seek out her
advice and listen to her scream at them. Often deaf members of the bank ask for
St. Ellen specifically, knowing she will communicate with them to the best of
her ability.
She goes out of her way to
soothe people and make them feel good knowing she is patient and caring.
But the Wanna-Be-Bank and trust
company wonder has not only taken members under her wing but friends, friends
that she finds through her good heart, mainly one lady who was so deaf she
screamed at herself so she could hear herself think!
So, when you think you didn't
hear it right, don't be afraid of whipping out a prayer to St. Ellen of
Holbrook.
