Blessed Caroline (Patron of Learning)

Saint Caroline...

I am so very little, You could put me in your pocket…or where’ere you will. I am so very small A gherkin size, that’s all… I would be with you the handsome one, who is so bold and tall. Saint Caroline, they called me. We opened schools…and taught all peoples- We wanted growth and learning, too. Integrity and honesty would befit all who knew. Within your pocket would be Saint Caroline. G-d has called this friend of thine. Would not your hand clasp that friend of thine, G-d has called Saint Caroline? Your brilliance - resounding voice Would open cluttered minds. Each day another lesson, and students waiting in long lines. Saint Caroline would say we are blessed each in one’s own way. We learn – we play on each G-d’s day. We love – we cry, we scale G-d’s world…it is so high. We are blessed – it is Divine. Thee and Saint Caroline!

  6. Was Caroline and was looking for my patron saint. One special thing l got from her is bringing out the potential in women and children in the community.

    Wow! I have never asked for her prayers but l am glad l share something in common with her. If it's my prayers that will make her a full saint then Lord, here l am ready to continue from where she left. Use me as an instrument to serve you Lord.
