Michele of Simply Michele has generously offered to give everyone a saint for the year 2011.  If you'd like to participate, leave her a comment at her blog.  

This is a great way to jump start your spirituality for the new year and learn about a new saint.

My saint for 2011 is St. Madeline Sophie Barat--someone I'd never heard of.  She founded the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and was born in 1779 in France.
