Saint Paris

St. Paris of L.A.

    St. Paris was born of one of the most illustrious families. As she grew to
the age of reason, she learned perfectly to despise her wealth and privileges.
Not daring to tell this to her parents, she first cunsulted with drunkeness
and hopping revelry.... She was then arrested and brought under numerous
guards before a judge. Her parents, who were made aquanted with her
desires, ask that their daughter be scourged.+ Judge Hubert ordered
St. Paris to be stripped of all her garments and put in stocks: standing
in the village square... There she perfectly submitted herself to the
village idiot and aquitted herself with such great charity.
  St. Paris exclaimed, "Those who do not go down in spirit will go there
                                  in reality. Take care to live in holy fear. You will
                                  learn to love God better by thinking how He punishes
                                  those who do not love him."
    The passion of St. Paris in the stocks continued for 45 days. Every
passerby endulged her charity; even the shepard's dogs. "Let St. Peter's
gates hold no less joy!" She prayed. Unflinching, she was released from
her stocks staggering to her parent's waiting chariage, "There are many
kings and Popes, but only one woman."

  St. Paris is the patron Saint of party girls.... Erin Gobraugh!

Pogo: Ha!
