Ah, thank you Hobbles.  This saint has interceded for me powerfully, specifically when it comes to curing me of my lustful mind.  I once confused not committing mortal sins of the flesh with having a clean mind; but it's not the same.  Even after ceasing to commit mortal sin, my mind was drawn to sleaze.

Somehow whenever I compare myself to this saint here I see that there is a greater step to take, that there is always farther that I can go.  My mind has been almost white as snow since I began praying to him.  It's interesting because at first I was one of those who thought "My favorite is St. Augustine since he was a sinner like me, I don't get those young saints who were perfect from day one, I can't relate to them."  Well, it's not about relating to them, it's about learning from them.  

I think there is something touching about a 35-year old scuzzball being given a pure angelic youth like St. Stanislaus as a patron; and becoming more like him, recapturing a bit of innocence.  Though it isn't official that he has been "given" to me, of course, he is just one of those who I feel has interceded for me and who I have fostered a devotion towards.
