Saint Ambrose of Milan, my confirmation Saint!

 



Today is a very special day for my personal faith, the feast day of my confirmation saint, Saint Ambrose of Milan. Because I was confirmed in RCIA almost six years ago, I got to choose my saint as a full-fledged adult. I remember pouring through saint books and one specific part of the story of Saint Ambrose kept calling me. He wasn’t a baptized Catholic when he was elected as Bishop of Milan! He wasn’t even interested in that office at the time. The people saw something in him and he went for it. Similar things have happened in my own life because I often don’t see in myself what others do. With his special intersession, I hope to be able to recognize opportunities when they arise and see in myself what others do, and what God does.
