Moneybags at A Catholic Life has been helping Catholic bloggers with an old Catholic practice, which is particularly common in convents & other religious houses. Basically, you draw a saint at random to be your special protector and intercessor for the year.

Mine is St James the Greater, which is interesting - I've been thinking about doing the Compostela pilgrimage for a while (mad in the head? Me? Whatever gave you that idea?). Also, he is the patron of Montreal, and I'll actually be in Montreal for his feast day this year.

There's a couple of other interesting links between me and him, as well.
