the_rev Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Blessed Chiara Badano, a young girl who died at 18 or 19 of bone cancer and refused chemo in order to unite herself to the suffering Christ. She was part of the Focolare movement. Google her, she's amazing!
FutureSister2009 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I believe I saw a St. Jessica at one point. There isn't much information on her but I am quite fond of the name because I do have a cousin named Jessica and then there is my dear friend Sr. Jessica as well. So there will be another St. Jessica in Heaven someday

TeresaBenedicta Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 St. Expeditus!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW COULD I FORGET?!!!!!!!!!!!! Aww, I wish LC was here. She'd totally get excited about St. Expeditus with me!!!!!!! He is totally St. Anthony's back-up man. And he does [i]wonders[/i]. Patron saint of expedient causes, you see. He's not very well known, so the few of us that have a devotion to him get all of his attention. Great man, that Expeditus.

OnlySunshine Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1304823602' post='2238576'] [b]St Elizabeth of the Visitation[/b]--most favorite saint! I love her because of her intense humility and faith. [b]St. Elizabeth of Hungary[/b]--anytime a noble gives of themselves to the poor, they have my respect. She is so beautiful! [b]St. Anne and St. Joachim[/b]--parents of Our Lady; very little is known about them, even their names are not agreed upon, but I took Anne as my confirmation saint since their feast day is on my birthday. [b]St. Mary Magdelene de Pazzi[/b]--even though God gave her mystical visions, she was very humble and considered herself to be the lowest of God's people [b]St. Gemma Galgani[/b]--she is absolutely charming in every way; I admire her for her life and it reminds me of Our Lady's [b]St. Teresa of the Andes[/b]--sweet little Carmelite saint [b]St. Veronica[/b]--the humble woman who wiped the face of Jesus even though the soldiers showed her contempt [/quote] I think I'm going to add: [b]St. Genevieve[/b]--she was able to cast out demons from the possessed! [b] St. Gertrude[/b]--loved the Sacred Heart and wrote about it, she is also the patron saint of nuns [b] St. Monica[/b]--she is a very powerful prayer intercessor; I've prayed for her intercession before during temptations and she granted my prayer [b] St. Rose of Lima[/b]--I can't believe I forgot her! I love little St. Rose.

I think she's pretty popular!!
Lisa Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 [quote name='vee8' timestamp='1304864754' post='2238703'] St Therese [/quote] who is this? Never heard of her.
Sarah147 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I'm not hearing much on these boards about Saint Josemaria Escriva. I'm working on reading one of his books, and I've seen some video footage of his talks to crowds on EWTN. He seems to have a very good spirituality for how to live the Faith and become Saints in the ordinary world. I love that.
OnlySunshine Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 [quote name='TeresaBenedicta' timestamp='1305291863' post='2240810'] Is it St. Monica really 'lesser known'? I think she's pretty popular!! [/quote] I don't hear that much of her at Church or online, actually. Maybe she's more popular to others?
OnlySunshine Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 [quote name='Shana' timestamp='1305317975' post='2240996'] St. Philomena (does she count as lesser known?) [/quote] I would think so since not much is known about her life.
