St. Seraphina
Seraphina was born in San Gimignano, Italy, to a poor family. She was known for her self denial and acts of penance as a young girl. A mysterious illness left this beautiful girl unattractive; her eyes, feet, and hands became deformed and eventually Seraphina was paralyzed. Her mother and father both died while she was young. She was devoted to St. Gregory the Great. She died on the feast of St. Gregory, exactly as she had been warned by Gregory in a dream. Seraphina was a very helpful child around the family home. She did many of the chores and helped her mother spin and sew. Her feast day is March 12.

Hi! Im from Norway and I also received the same email from Jenna yesterday:)... Thats why I googled st. serephina and found this sayings here :D I think Jenna have to find a new saint to connect people with...;)
Im pretty sure my daughter is "friends" with St. Fina. She talks about her and seraphina all the time and tell us that seraphina is a princess. What an odd name for a 4 year old to randomly come up with. I didn't know anything about Saint Seraphina until I googled it. The only thing I came up with was Ben Afflecks daughters name and this Saint. No cartoon characters generated on the web search. So where did she get the name? Also, she twirls around talking to "princess seraphina." not kidding here. The resemblance is uncanny. Last night, I opened my master bedroom door and sitting in front of my daughters door (we have hardwood floors) was a crumpled up piece of paper - a reciept - that was spinning by itself on the ground. FAST. When I stepped one foot foward - the paper abruptly stopped. When showing this spinning act to my wife, the paper wouldn't spin at all. Its almost like the floor was greased up. Just spinning. I understand that Saint Seraphina was a "spinner?" Before the spinning incident, my wife and I had a huge fight. It was almost like something was telling me to chill out. Im not crazy but this is a very true story.
how come we all have the same guardian angel, even when we belong to different different religion.
I've been receiving loads of messages from Jenny but the one she sent to me today was questionable, hence I decided to google Seraphina in order to know who she really is and then I came across this thread and I'm so disappointed with what I found out about my so-called guardian angel.. I don't want to believe anything coming from Jenny as I perceive it as a scam. Henceforth, Jesus is my guardian angel and in him I trust, I won't allow anyone to confuse me.
However, if it turns out that Seraphina is real, then I tender my unreserved apologies and I pray her to keep guiding him.
I have received the same message from JENNA. but she got my age wrong, it looks like st Serephina was my guardian long before I was born.
I don't trust Jenna, I trust my guardian angel! :)
yep..Jenna is a scammer emails me all the time how i am so special and what's about to happen to me is a once in a life time and she wants to help guide me (for a fee of course) have never responded...but the emails keep coming. We must all be in a group message about the guardian angel!!
I received the same email from Jenna. Very disappointing.
i just found out from a proclaimed spycic that serephina is my guardian angel if that is true im wondering why and what reason that particular angel would be looking after me im nothing and a nobody.
would like to know more about st serephina and st Gabriel and how to communicate and ask help and guidance from them in my every day life.
I received the same e-mail yesterday morning on October 30th at 2:37 am that my guardian angel was St. Serephina and she had been watching over me for 47 years.
I'm very happy to have seen this site; she will not get my money.
When I told my friend about the e-mail I got; she told me to be careful, she had gotten into sending money and they would not stop, she had to threaten to get lawyers after them and they stopped. This site confirmed it. God Bless.
I too got this email from Jenna, and this is the first time i am learning about this saint, and my first grandson birthday is March 12th, and what more can i say, i hope this is not about money but i look forward to learning more about other saints.
I too got this e-mail from Jenna. It is strange that this St. died the same date as my father's birth. I know that I am being watched over, but I'm not so sure it is this Saint. I tend more to believe that Christ is watching over me, not some Saint.
I am in Kentucky and I got the same email from Jenna. I am 48 also and my birthday is March 12th the day of St. Serafina's death. Guess she sent out a mass email to all of us. Oh well I still have faith in God, just not Jenna. HaHa
i guess this lady is playing with everyone,anyhow i read a story of seraphin ,and i conclude finding this anyhow,i only believe in god jehova the king of kings and god of gods,but its always nice too find up the type of persons thats out there,have a nice day
The life of St Serapfna impressed me much.I offered a prayer to her to help so0lve the deep problems I am in now.I have every hope that she eill intercede for me and help.
Thanks to jenna, I was surprised to known who my Guardian angel was, Yes i do pray, but i hope my St. Serephina will always guide me, and will remember her.
haha I googled the name st Seraphina and came out on this site.
God is Good, I almost believed Jenna, but now I know I am not the only one who got her email. This so Hilarious. She used my faith to get money out of me, but good thing there is something like Google in which you can connect and research information before paying. Thanks all for posting you saved me 10 bucks. Stay Blessed all.
just got exactly same email as Kasim (posting above this) he got his 3 years ago, I live in Australia. My concern is that, I am going thru very difficult life circumstance ( possible diagnosis of breast cancer) and the need to reach out and grab onto Jenna for $15 is very strong...I dont believe in Angels (or if I did, they wouldnt come to me in the same template being generated across the world to thousands of people asking for money) but that the timing of these emails means vulnerable people are being exploited for...$15...? Is this how a higher being would operate?
Hi... I got the same message from jenna... she told me the same thing about my guardian angel but the thing Which shock me was that I got my message from jenna a week back but I never got time to check... today is the 12th of march n it's St.serephina anniversary and I happen to check it today... so I thing there is a connection to it... forget about jenna... atleast coz of her I know who my guardian angel is.... ^_^ ... God bless us all.
