Saints are men and women who have lived their lives in such a way as to serve as models to others. These saints, living exemplary lives, provide for us examples to follow. Based on the course of their lives and the circumstances surrounding them, some of the saints serve as "patrons" of certain peoples, places, things, and occupations, as they intercede for us before God. For example, Francis de Sales was a writer and so he is patron of journalists and writers. A patron saint can help us when we follow the example of that saint's life and when we ask for that saint's intercessory prayers to God. This is one reason why it is common practice for Confirmation candidates to choose a patron saint that they feel an affinity towards or are inspired by as they prepare to receive the grace-filled sacrament.
