Saint and Word of the Year

 When I saw yesterday that today was December 7th, I instantly thought of the word, 'Fortitude', and also St. Ambrose, as it's his feast day today. He's my patron saint for this year, and my word for this year is fortitude. How often this word has crept up and shown itself throughout this year.

I'm thinking of a time during the early summer months when I went to confession and during some prayer time after I stumbled upon and read a reflection about St. Ambrose and it highlighted fortitude! I thought it was a unique and special intertwining, and especially one that I recall I needed that day. 

I wonder what word and saint will 'choose me' for this upcoming year?
