[Cam42]

Sts. Christopher and Andrew

St. Josemaria Escriva

St. Bernadette Soubirous


N.B. You guys do know that John Paul II is not a saint right? I don't necessarily think that it is appropriate to include him, until at least declared venerable....just a prudent thought.

[MilesChristi]

baptismal patron - St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles

confirmation patron - St. John the Baptist

[photosynthesis]

my baptismal name is Claire (after St. Clare), and my confirmation name is Felicity, after St. Felicity (felicitas).

I love St. Francis, St. Alphonsus Ligouri, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa de Avila, St. Josemaria, and St. John the Evangelist.....oh yeah, and St. Peter.

St. Jude always comes in handy too, for those ahem....lost causes.

[argent_paladin]

My confirmation name is Thomas Xavier, for Thomas Aquinas and Francis Xavier.
My religious name was Zechariah Therese Hyacinth, for Therese of the Infant Jesus and Hyacinth Odrowaz of Poland. Here's a pic of St. Hyacinth:

My patron saint: Saint Ignatius of Loyola. His example has inspired me since the day I learned about him.

[Philippe]

St. Pio is my confirmation Saint

[homeschoolmom]

My confirmation saint is Joanna the Myrrhbearer.

But I also really like St. Elizabeth Ann Seton...

[Cathurian]

St. Anselm of Canterbury!

His intercession helped me into the Church.

[Don John of Austria]

St. Barbra

St. Louis


St. Jude

St. Thomas Becket

St. thomas Aquinus

St. Thomas More


St. Thomas the Apostle

St. Constantine

St. Nicholas

Blessed Urban II


Blessed Pius IX


I keep intending to start Praying to St. Morris, ever since Ifound out about him, but I often forget to.

Whats funny concidsering the title of thisthread is that I almost never pray to the Blessed Mother unless it is in some formal setting, I have no strong devotion to her certianly not like I do to St. Barbra or Louis. I used to pray often to St. Lawrance but I rarely do anymore, I should start that up agian.

After I pray the rosary or chaplet of divine mercy I usually say the following litany of saints, not all of them every time though, but I do try to remember them:

St. Jospeh of Cupertino (confirmation saint and avatar)
St. Michael (parent's parish)
St. Pius X (high school)
St. Thomas Aquinas (my parish)
St. Faustina
St. Patrick (special intention)
St. Cecelia (ditto)
St. Francis of Assisi
St. Maria Goretti (gotta love them italians)
St. John Vianney (so humble, so simple, yet so powerful, of course the power doesn't come from him)

[Fidei Defensor]

My confirmation saint was St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Michael is another, by choice and partially because of my middle name, which is Michael.

[Thy Geekdom Come]

My favorite saints, in no particular order, not all of whom I regarly ask for intercession:

St. Raphael the Archangel (Confirmation Patron)
St. Thomas More (For Fighting Secularism)
St. Thomas Becket (For Courage to Face Authority for God)
St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney (For Understanding)
St. Padre Pio (For Piety)
St. Cecilia (Patroness of My Home Diocese)
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Guardian of Two Particular Joined Hearts)
St. Peter (For the Faith to Walk on Water)
St. Thomas (For the Faith to See Without Believing)
St. Thomas Aquinas (For Reason)
St. Augustine (For True Philosophy)
St. Benedict (Purity)
St. Francis of Assisi (Simplicity and Poverty)
St. Louis de Montfort (Marian Devotion)
St. Louis IX (Courage to Do What's Right, When It's Easy to Do What's Wrong)
St. Nicholas Owen (Sacrifice and Secrecy)
St. Christina the Astonishing (To Avoid the Stench of Sin)
St. Therese of Lisieux (For Help Along the Little Way)
St. Alphonsus Ligouri (For Help With Scruples)
St. Tarcisius (Eucharistic Devotion)

[Old_Joe]

I should also mention St. Francis de Sales. I've been reading a couple of bookd based on his work and they've really helped. They are "How to Profit from Your Faults" and "Introduction to the Devout Life." I'd recommend them to anyone, especially those who have problems not only in their life but especially with being faithful.
