pan!c139 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It's REALLY hard to name my ONE favorite saint, but I guess it's St. Monica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 St. Vincent de Paul. (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. Catherine Laboure are close seconds and thirds...is my Vincentian bias too apparent? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesister Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 St. Catherine Laboure Marian. Hidden. Devoted to duty for years on end. Model for our own life of prayer and service, and parish-friend for as long as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mari Therese Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 St. Therese the little flower, she is a great model for religious life and those who are discerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiliaMariae Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Our Blessed Mother - the Queen of all Saints...of all people, Christ cannot refuse a petition from His Blessed Mother. Whenever we turn to Her as Her little children, She takes all of our petitions, purifies them, perfects them and takes them directly to Her Beloved Son, while intereceding for us. My other favorite saints are: St. Anthony of Padua St. Francis deSales St. John of the Cross St. Francis of Assisi and the list goes on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbTherese Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 St Therese of Lisieux (Confirmation patron) and St Frances de Sales. I have other patron saints, but the aforementioned are those that have most influenced my spiritual theological thinking (if I can call it that :) ) and created real learning curves in my journey to date, resulting in an active-to-date appreciation of their writings. Also informed articles about their life, thought and writings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comingback Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 St. Mary of Egypt. When I was coming back to Catholicism, I attended an Orthodox church for a time and they had this icon of her and I don't know what happened, but she became my "go to" person in this journey. I know that sounds crazy. When I converted to Catholicism back in the Long Ago, I took the name Macrina (the younger). Hence the profile pic. Three words for St. Mary of Egypt as she seems for me: repentance, love, hiddenfortheLord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarysLittleFlower Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Can't choose just one :) St Therese St Anastasia St Gemma St Catherine of Siena St Teresa of Avila St Faustina St Padre Pio St John Vianney ...and some others ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 If I were to choose one, it would probably be St. Clare right now. Maybe. But a list: Our Lady St. Clare St. Therese St. Francis St. Colette I'm sure there are others, but those have been the most prominent ones lately.

Hna.Caridad Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Now that the controversy in open-mic about bringing back dead threads seems to have calmed down, I'm resurrecting this one in honor of All Saints' Day. My favorite saints have remained the same, although one has since been beatified. So, who are your favorite saints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
