"If you should pass from our presence, what picture of you shall we use for your saint's card, should you be so elevated, and of what do you want to be patron?"Well the santino would have to have this photo of me sitting in the Buckingham Arms and reading the Remnant:
And I would like to be the patron saint of visiting seminary tutors, please. That way, the seminarians would be able to take all sorts of examples from my life and say "Ah, but St Timothy of Blackfen did x, y, and z..." rather as they talk about the Curé of Ars failing his exams.Unfortunately, in my case, the many xs, ys, and zs are not simply a limitation in human abilities and I am unlikely to do enough penance for them this side of purgatory so I'd actually like lots of prayers and Masses, please; like this one provided by those good people at the Holy Souls Crusade
My Jesus, by the sorrows Thou didst suffer in Thine agony in the Garden, in Thy scourging and crowning with thorns, on the way to Calvary, in Thy crucifixion and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and especially on those that are most forsaken; do Thou deliver them from the terrible torments they endure; call them and admit them to Thy most sweet embrace in paradise. Amen.

Excellent! Please note, the question was phrased carefully: "Should you be so elevated..."
Maybe we'll just have to settle for "Cardinal Timothy"...
;-D
Shurely shome mistake. St Timothy of Blackfen has to be the patron saint of those suffering from Cappaphobia, or Finigan's Disease, to give it its scientifically correct name. His intercession is very powerful. Three Hail Mary's and he will appear to you in all his glory and effect a complete and instantaneous cure. It has never been know to fail:)
Bless you in your humility, Father!
Great call on the pic! Can you photoshop in a ciggie?

Cool photo!!!
I've today developed a badge for people, blogs, websites, interested in encouraging the praying of the Liturgy of the Hours:

Let me know if there are any issues with this – size, etc.
Blessings
Dear Father Tim
I dreamt recently that your were the Bishop of Kent :-)
St Timothy of Blackfen would of course be the patron saint of all artists who dream of,and who are inspired by Christ & Mary.
Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us
Amen
Santo Subito!
Not too "subito", please... we're not ready to lose our PP just yet (unless there's a mitre involved, and even then it'll be a close call as to whether we'll let him go...)
;-P
Dear Father Tim
Would it be possible to negotiate on your behalf with the Vatican for a well deserved mitre?
My last Court appearance saw me defeat the IPCC & the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis on FARE Human and Civil Rights issues on the 28th February 2007 in Court No1 at the Royal Courts of Justice before the Honourable Mr Justice Goldring.
My Catholic poetry has now been published in London's WRITE NEXT DOOR ANTHOLOGY and on-line by by www.spreadtheword.org.uk ,which I visited today to discover Angelic Dynamo: Poetry with Democracy .
I once read somewhere that miracles are 99% hard work and 1% inspiration.
Thank you for the much needed inspiration.
Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us Amen
