Causes For Canonisation?

[NovemberFourth]

Hi all,

Just curious to find out which Causes for Canonization you support?

I frequently pray for favours to be granted by the intercession of [url="http://www.johnbradburne.com/"]John Bradburne[/url] , [url="http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/TITUSLIF.HTM"]Blessed Titus Brandsma[/url], [url="http://www.piercedhearts.org/theology_heart/life_saints/bartolo_longo.htm"]Blessed Bartolo Longo[/url] and Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

But I am always interested to hear about others, so wondered if you had any to share?

The Foundress of my former community: [url="http://www.ascjus.org/our-foundress/canonization-process/index.aspx"]Mother Clelia Merloni[/url] She was quite a woman, even exiled from the community that she founded!

I have a great admiration for Fulton Sheen. With the beatification of Blessed Chiara Badano, I have come to really admire her, as a witness to the young people of her charity for souls and her purity too.

There are many more, but I can't recall all of their names.

I'm all for having Archbishop Fulton Sheen canonized. He was wonderful.

How could I forget about the Martins, JPII, and Catherine McAuley? They belong on my list, too.

I really like Catherine McAuley. There was this book called [i]Courageous Catherine[/i] about a young Sister of Mercy who entered the order and went to America from Ireland. It was one of those elementary school Catholic books. It was wonderful. The description of Catherine McAuley was great!

Oh yay, yay, YAY!!!!!! i always think of her as a saint anyway, even though she isn't canonised yet, so this will be absolutely wonderful Her writings were the first of the Carmelite writings I really got on with - I found St Therese too saccharine and St Teresa (who is now by far my favourite) just too hard to get into. Whilst undoubtably a woman of her time, I find Elizabeth a far more approachable writer than many. I admire the way she faced the delay in entering Carmel, her honesty with her struggles and her very sensible decision that she would have returned to her mother had the community needed to flee due to the political situation. Oh I do hope this happens soon

You will be happy to know that Br. Andre was canonized this past October! I go to a Holy Cross parish and school so we had banners up for the rest of the school year I believe celebrating his elevation to sainthood

Yes! She's my confirmation saint

[she_who_is_not]

Consolata Betrone, an Italian mystic and Poor Clare. She is known for her "very little way" and the unceasing act of love, "Jesus, Mary I love you, Save Souls." I read a book about her revelations titled, [i]Jesus Appeals to the World[/i], but I can't recall the authors name.

Don't know if anybody here has heard of Margaret Sinclair. She is now venerable. I read a leaflet about her life many many years ago when I was a teenager. She was born in Edinburgh Scotland. She was brought up in a very poor family and worked in a factory. Then became a poor Clare nun down in London. She died very young I think only in her early twenties.
