Is there a Patron Saint for those of us who struggle with Homosexuality?
Hello Brother;
I pray that Our Lord will bless and keep you close to his heart, I have searched the forums but could not find an answer.
I (like so many others) struggle with homosexuality. I have, I believe through the grace of Our Lord been able to live a celebate life style for a number of years. As I grow in love of Jesus, his Word and the Church I have always wondered, Is there a patron saint for those like myself ?
Thankyou for all the support and inspiration(s) I have recieved through your web ministry.
Peace
Tom

Dear Tom: I praise God that you have the courage to live a Godly life no matter what sexual temptations you have. That is a rare thing today regardless of sexual "orientation". There is no patron specifically for those with homosexual temptations, but there are a number of Patron Saints for "sexual temptations". I would advise developing a devotion to one of these saints.
