Saint Joseph, Saint Therese of the Little Flower, Saint Jude, Saint Paul, Saint Gemma Galgani, my guardian angel, Saint Michael the Archangel, and Saint Loius de Montfort.

[SOGFPP]

Do future Saints count?

hehe

Servant of God Father Patrick Peyton!

 

[Addaperle]

St Clare (no prizes for guessing why!!!), St Anthony (cos I always lose things!) and St Michael (cos he's an mighty warrior, and he protects us more than we realise... the Holy Michael prayer is, I have found, a very powerful prayer).

 

[uncertaindrummer]

Saint Peregrine. He has always inspired me, and is the name I took for confirmation.

 

[Servus Iesu]

The Most Holy Theotokos!

Pope Saint Pius X and St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis and St. Dominic, St. Augustine, Ss. Peter and Paul, all the martyrs...

 

[pax]

By far, my favorite is the Blessed Mother...

My patron saint is St. Dominic Savio. His motto was "Death rather than sin" and he died at the age of 15. He lived an extremely holy life and helped convert many people. He studied under St. John Bosco and would always bring other people with him when he went to visit the Blessed Sacrament. He is patron of youth, altar servers, and choir boys.

I also like St. Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominican order), St. Francis of Assisi, St. Therese of Lisieux, Bl. John XXIII, St. Tarcisius, St. Maria Goretti, St. Francis, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, Ss. Felicity and Perpetua, St. Juan Diego, Bl. Teresa of Calcutta, St. Padre Pio, St. Josemaria Escriva, St. Faustina, the archangels, my guardian angel....

Can I choose "All of the above..."

 

[CorTortilla]

I don't really pray often to the Saints for intercession, but some I do pray to: Mary (obviously-what Catholic doesnt pray to the most holiest woman who ever lived), St. Michael the Archangle whom I pray to whenever I am scared of....paranormal occurences... and he aalways comes through for me. Also, I like St. Patrick, and St. Nicholas (who wouldnt want to pray to Santa Claus )

I hope it's not out of line for someone who isn't Roman Catholic to post about this; please forgive me if I give any offense.

St. Patrick and St. Brigid have been favorites of mine since I was a child; also the Holy Archangels, especially St. Raphael. The saint I feel closest to, though, is St. Phanourios. A devotion to this saint isn't usually found in the Catholic Church, but he seems to have lived in the time of the Roman persecutions -- though we don't know for sure -- and so I think he belongs to all the Church, before the schism.

[Zacharias]

St. Stephen Protomartyr, St. Benedict of Nursia, and St. John Chrysostom are a few of my favorites.

 

[Dozer]

St Maurice being that I spent some time in the army and he always came through for me when times were tough, and because he was martyred for standing up for his belief, something I found very difficult whilst in the army.

 

[Markh]

Some favourite extra biblical saints of mine are

St Athanasius and St Ignatius of Loyola (my confirmation name)

I think they did some impressive things while alive.

 

[graveytrain1221]

My favorite Saint is Augustine. He shaped Catholic theology the most and he had some of the same problems as me.

 

[QuantaCura]

St. Michael the Archangel

St. Sebastian

St. Anthony of Padua

Bl. Pius IX

St. Thomas More

 

[Monergism]

Isn't favoritism forbidden?

I do have a few saints that I like, because I am aware of them. lol I like:

-Peter
-Paul of Tarsus
-Ignatius of Antioch
-Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullian
-Origen
-Justin Martyr
-Cyprian of Carthage
-Irenaeus
-Augustine of Hippo
-Thomas Aquinas

 

[seayhere]

I like St. Theresa because she says everything we do we should do for God. You can be a housewife and do little things and they are for God. That's what she called the Little Way.


I also like St. Monica she never gave up on her son or her husband and she always prayed for them.

 

[SanctusEst]

I have a special place in my heart for St. Mary of Egypt...

Her life gives me hope that even I can come to a place of blessed repentance and faith.

May the prayers of Holy St. Mary of Egypt be with us...
