The 16th century was a time of Spiritual Reformation and I think it would have been less controversial if Saint Paul was presented in a more positive light (not knocked down to the ground).

St. Philomena The saint I chose was St. Philomena. I chose her after watching a french film called “Aurore”. The film starts with Aurore as a young girl and her mother praying to the saint.

Philomena is the Saint of babies‚ infants‚ and youth
