LaPetiteSoeur Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Question: If you could eat dinner (or any meal) with any four saints, who would they be? DO NOT include Mary (because she'd be there anyway, because she's the best saint of all, IMHO) And why? Mine would be: St. Catherine Laboure: She's been my patron saint forever, and she was a quiet witness to Christ. St. Hildegard von Bigen: What she did and wrote are really wonderful. She also was brave. St. Catherine of Siena: Dominican. Name of Catherine. need I say more? St. Dominic: Founder of the Dominicans. Edited August 16, 2011 by LaPetiteSoeur
maximillion Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 The Little Flower - took Therese as my confirmation name after her..... St Hildegard von Bingen: her contribution to Chant, gynaecology and The Church. St Margaret Mary Alacoque: [b]Marguerite Marie Alacoque[/b] or [b]Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque[/b] (22 July 1647, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verosvres"]Verosvres[/url] – 17 October 1690) was a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_people"]French[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church"]Roman Catholic[/url] [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nun"]nun[/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysticism"]mystic[/url], who promoted [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_devotions"]devotion[/url] to the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Heart"]Sacred Heart[/url] of Jesus in its modern form.

faithcecelia Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 St Mary Magdalene St Cecilia St Teresa St Therese
beatitude Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Blessed Charles de Foucauld - because he was a peace worker in a war-torn country, and so am I. I would like to ask him how he always kept love alive in the face of hatred. St Bernadette of Lourdes - because her faith and integrity and shining purity of heart have always been an inspiration to me. St Peter - because he was hot-headed and impatient and frightened, but he got there in the end. Bl. John Paul the Second - because I never got the chance to meet him before his death, and he needs to be told off for dying too soon!
vee Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) ooooh good question! Im debating whether or not I want St Thomas Aquinas only in that Im not sure there would be any food left for the rest of us St Teresa of Avila Why? because she is amesome sheesh! St Francis Xavier Why? I have a few things to chat with him about. Ill have to think about the rest edited to add its hard to narrow down the list of Jesuits and Carmelites Id want there. Id want ds there too though. Edited August 16, 2011 by vee8
IamMyBeloveds Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Wow...just four...hmmm! Tough choice! Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity St. Therese of Lisieux St. Padre Pio Bl. John Paul II
Clare~Therese Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Bl. John Paul II -- Why? That's almost self-explanatory. St. Therese -- Why? One of my favorite Saints. St. Anthony of Padua -- Why? His intercession has been helping me a lot lately. St. Faustina -- Why? Same reason as I chose St. Anthony. Her intercession has been helping me a lot lately.
vee Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 St Therese is going to end up St cochon after going to so many meals! Im not inviting her to mine though but knowing her she'll just show up anyway.
InPersonaChriste Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I wonder which saints would actually "eat" dinner with me (as it is.. most of my favorite saints loved to fast for Christ). Saint Teresa of the Andes- Cause she is amesome, and I really want to know more about her. Saint Benedict- Because all benedictine saints are cool Saint Margaret of Scotland- My patroness, their isnt much information on her and I would really like to hear more about her life. Saint Frances de Sales- He has spiked my interest.
OnlySunshine Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Wow, cool question, but a tough one! St. Elizabeth of the Visitation - she was the motivation to help me start praying daily again when I thought about what she said to Mary during the Visitation St. Therese of Lisieux - always wanted to meet her after seeing the movie based on her life St. Elizabeth of Hungary - she was humble and charitable and gave up her riches to serve the poor Bl. John Paul II - I miss him very much; he was a powerful force in the Church and I admire him
faithcecelia Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Im glad I answered on impulse. Now I have thought about it further I think I would actually need to hire a restaurant.
elizabeth09 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 St Cecilia St. Elizabeth of Hungary Bl. John Paul II St. Therese of Lisieux
TeresaBenedicta Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Ooh, fun question! St. Dominic Savio- he's my confirmation saint. What a wonderful, pure soul! St. Teresa of Jesus*- not only an amazing woman and doctor of the Church, but a great sense of humor to boot! St. Edith Stein/Teresa Benedicta of the Cross- love her to death, super intelligent, would love to talk philosophy and prayer with her! St. John Bosco- needed to add another male, sense of humor, would be cute to see him and Dominic Savio interacting, he made me want to be a missionary for youth! *So one of the sisters corrected me when I was saying "Teresa of Avila", saying that we should really call her "of Jesus", not only because that was her religious name, but because she was truly Jesus' beloved... not Avila's!
she_who_is_not Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 St. Martha: She is my confirmation saint, she was a close friend of Jesus, and she deserves to have someone serve her a meal for a change. Bl. John Henry Newman: His writings led to my conversion and I've always been fascinated by the Oxford movement. St.Teresa Benedicta of the Cross: Converts tell good stories and she was well-educated and super smart so she could amuse Newman if he got cranky. St. Francis: I've always thought we would be friends. He has been on my dinner party list for a while.
BigJon16 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 St. Philip Neri (My confirmation saint) St. Paul (not sure why, but it seems like it would be cool.) Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati (Because he's a Manly Man.) St. John Bosco. (Because he St John Bosco!)
OnlySunshine Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 [quote name='BigJon16' timestamp='1313531471' post='2289364'] St. Philip Neri (My confirmation saint) St. Paul (not sure why, but it seems like it would be cool.) Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati (Because he's a Manly Man.) St. John Bosco. (Because he St John Bosco!) [/quote] St. Paul is amesome! If I could have chosen more than 4, I would have. I probably would have included St. Joseph, St. Paul, St. John the Beloved, St. Zachariah (St. Elizabeth's husband), St. John the Baptist, St. Peter, St. Faustina, etc. I would have had a fancy banquet for them all. Hopefully, we will all be joined together at Christ's banquet in heaven.

If so I guess Ill be having dinner with him until Therese shows up as she always does, and they can both kick my butt for picking on them. So where was I? Thomas Teresa de Jesus Xavier and the fourth is a hard choice but Im thinking two guys two girls so for fun St Mary Magdalene de Pazzi. Two Spaniards, and two Italians... should be a nice quiet meal
vee Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I think the meal will end up like this. DS can talk to Aquinas, Im talking to Xavier and the two Carms will be off in ecstasy.
dominicansoul Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 sorry, but its impossible to just have 4 saints for dinner.... --Blessed Mother, and of course because she's Jewish, she'll invite her familia---St. Joseph (who I woulda invited anyways,) St. Elizabeth, St. John the Baptist, of course God will show up, cos after all she's His mom... ---St. Dominic, who will probably wait to be served last ---St. Gemma Galgani, who will definitely want some Eggplant Parmesan, and will probably quietly excuse herself while she goes into Ecstasy and suffers the crucified wounds on her body ---St. Martin de Porres, cos he'll probably volunteer to do the dishes and sweep the kitchen afterwards (not that I would let him!!!)(I'll let Vee do the dishes and clean up afterwards)
