B-Day = Begging Day

So then it's my birthday again - and what have I done? 

Might as well pay the piper already, beg for mercy  

and atone for my sins - going to mass!

But wait a Holy Minute here - what are they doing to me here?!? 

Are they trying to get me to memento mori 

on what should be a joyous day for me 

by scheduling a mass under the patronage of 

 a saint whose underlined link to the date 

is that she died that day...?!? 

The evidence is right here:

Prions en Eglise 

Catherine de Longpré est née le 3 mai 1632 en Normandie, France. 

A douze ans et demi, elle entre au monastère 

des Hospitalières de Bayeux où elle prend le nom de 

Catherine de Saint-Augustin. 

Ayant fait le "voeu de vivre et de mourir au Canada 

si Dieu lui ouvre la porte", 

elle arrive en 1684 à Québec où, durant vingt ans, 

elle travailla au soin des malades. 

Elle meurt le 8 mai 1668 à l'âge de trente-six ans, 

ayant manifesté durant toute sa vie une charité exemplaire. 

Elle est reconnue comme une des fondatrices 

de l'Eglise qui est au Canada.

What did I do to deserve such an omen, 

Salt & Light...?!? 

But wait another damnable minute here...

What are those dates 
that you've given to the faithful there; 

they make no sense at all! 

She was born May 3rd 1632, 

arrived in Quebec only in 1684 -

52 years later (?!?)  

where she worked for 20 years, you say 

(which would bring her to 72 years of age) 

but then she died May 8th 1668 

at the age of 36...?!?  
(Even switching numbers to 1686 doesn't add up here!)

Is that some form of bi-locality gift, 

ubiquitousness verging on time-displacement 

or are you all drunk on mass wine?!? 

I guess that,
considering this dismal account 

of historical facts,
I can see the omen attached to it, 
as far as my birthday goes, 

as null and void! 

Phew!
