The reason I chose this saint is because I was intrigued by his name.

I thought he might be big, strong and resemble an ancient super hero. I was surprised to learn how he inspired people to start praying almost immediately. Like a super hero, he helped anyone in need. Also, I chose this saint because he was like Jesus, who traveled across many lands to deliver his message. I was impressed to learn he worked very hard, was a brilliant teacher and was about to be named an Arch Bishop, but he refused. He did this because he took a vow of poverty and devoted himself to prayer and study. Pope Urban II was one of his pupils. I think Saint Bruno is a successful saint because he never gave up and followed the footsteps of Jesus. This saint inspired me by trying hard and to always give it your best. He went to church to pray to God, which makes me want to me to go to church to pray to God to. St. Bruno followed in Jesuss footsteps, and that encourages me to follow Jesus and be thankful for what he did for us. He went to spread the word of God because many people did not believe in God, that makes me want attempt to start to talk to God with my family. He was a good leader, and brought people on voyages to build new churchs, I want to be a leader like he was and do something like he did. This saint really inspired me to: try hard, go to church, follow in Jesuss footsteps, spread the word, and be a good leader. A way I can live like this saint is to do what he did as a fantastic saint. This saint has made me want to do good things for God and pray more often. St. Bruno prepared me to go to church and do good deeds for God. He also inspired me to be a

hero and follow in Jesuss steps of being a fantastic person. He tried really hard to become a saint and that keeps me going that trying hard can get anybody anywhere. I can be like this saint by doing what he did and following in St. Bruno footsteps and do good deeds everyday.
