I learned about this game recently and have decided to start it here with like so:

It's very simple, you choose a saints' name, and the next person answers with a saint whose name begins with the next letter of the alphabet. ABC. . . etc.!

And to make it especially worthwhile, like a litany, add 'pray for us.'

Here's the beginning.  Cheesy

St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, pray for us.

Making sure I get the rules straight, would it be St. Athanasius or Saint Bernard? At comes after Al and before Re.

We're just paying attention to the first letter. Cheesy Though that sure is a neat idea George! Perhaps we'll try that after a few rounds, and have a doubles round. AABBCC etc.? But for the start, simple! Grin

So after St. Alphonsus Maria, it would go like this. . .

St. Bernard of Clairvaux, pray for us!

St. Casimir, pray for us!


And so forth..  Cheesy

Saint Catherine of Siena,
you who said , "It is not the hour to seek one's self for one's self, nor to flee pains in order to possess consolations; nay, it is the hour to lose one's self." (Letters of St. Catherine)
Pray for us
that we may learn to lose ourselves in Christ and live for Him alone
Amen!
