Cam42 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photosynthesis Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don John of Austria Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) 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. Edited June 22, 2005 by Don John of Austria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Joe Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
