Favorite Saint

[megamattman1]

None of the Above (Add reply it)
Can't Decide?


My favorite saints are St. Francis, St. Padre Pio, and St. Michael (and all the archangels) I don't know much about little flower. And I might add Mother Teresa. Of course if you count Mary, her too.

Who are all your favorite saints and what are they famous for and what do you think of when you think of them? What are they a patron of?


I don't know much about the other sections here at phatmass. This might not go in the debate table unless we decide to argue about it.

Oh, of course you are right, the archangels and Padre Pio ROCK!

my favorite Saint is St. Therese, the Little Flower
well....

1. shes always been my favorite saint since i was a really lil girl (like 6 or 7)
2. one thing she does (not always but there are times when she has) is she gives flowers when she uses her intersesion to help someone on earth
3. she was often sick....which i can relate to
4. she has a realitivly big family like me!


those r just a few reasons

[picchick]

ST. JOAN OF ARC!!

[lifeteenchick527]

[mulls]

is mother theresa a saint already?

[mulls]

and why don't people rep OT saints?

[Aloysius]

fine, i like Judas Maccabees

[P3chrmd]

Well, I think we can exclude the Blessed Mother...I mean she ranks at the top of everyones lists really...she goes without saying...the greatest of the greats! LOL...because her role is larger than the rest of the saints....

[quote]and why don't people rep OT saints? [/quote]

We do, Western Catholics tend to be more into the new saints and NT saints! Catholics of the Eastern Rite have major feast days for the Old Testement saints!!!

She's been beatified, so she's on her way to being a canonized Saint.

[White Knight]

Wheres Saint Patrick? the one who discovered how to use a three-leaf clover to smybolize the Holy Trinity?

[Fiat_Voluntas_Tua]

However, the example of the 3-leaf clover isn't compleately accurate...because if you take one leaf, you don't have the whole clover...If you look at the Father(All God)...Son(All Good)...Holy Spirit(All God.) you have the whole God...but that is besides the point of this thread.

My Saint/Blessed Lineup:

St. Padre Pio
St. Kolbe
The Little Flower
St. Joseph
St. Ignatius of Loyola
St. Francis of Assisi
Bl. Mother Theresa of Calcuta
St. Michael
St. Benedict

and many more.

I have a good list of saints who I am very close to. Luckily one of them was on the list so it wasn't too hard a decision. Well two of them were, St. Therese and St. Michael the Archangel. But I feel a little closer to St. Therese, if you know what I mean it's hard to explain.
Anyways. My list of people I'm close to. St. Mary, St. Joseph, St. Augustine, St. Monica, St. Therese, St. Paul, St. Maria Goretti, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Anthony of Padua. St. Cecilia, St. Dominic Savio, St. Francis of Assisi. There are more but these are my favorite.
