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

Didacus Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 (edited) Fr. Andre, Oratoire St-Joseph, Montreal [img]http://www2.ignatius.edu/faculty/turner/montreal/oratoire.JPG[/img] I don't have an jpg image of St.Andre though... You walk into the oratory and its like walking through the gates of heaven itself. Few things I have seen are more inspiring. Of course, St Micheal! [img]http://www.catholicculture.org/Lit/pictures/9_29_michael2.jpg[/img] God's 'go-to angel' when trouble starts to stir! Gotta love him! St Jospeh, aka 'the Dad' as I like to call him [img]http://www.theworkofgod.org/images/Joseph.jpg[/img] The least talked about of the holy family, but definately was essential to Jesus' mission! Virgin Mary, aka 'The mom' as I like to call her. [img]http://www.spiritbride.com/linnocence7.jpg[/img] Whenever you need a moment of silence to regain strenght, she's always there. Maybe not officially a saint just yet, but JP the Great! aka; 'my papa' as I like to call him. [img]http://majoritywhip.house.gov/Mediaimages/pope.jpg[/img] The modern day giant that lead the world with the unwavering message of truth. And last, of course, one who is loved by countless through the centuries, the first to be stigmatic.... you guessed it, St-Francis of Assisi! [img]http://www.irenescorner.com/home/readingcorner/assis/saofrancisco4.gif[/img] The smallest amongst everyone, made great through his faith in the Lord. Oh, and a special mention to Mere Marie-Rose, bienheureuse (beatified). she carried my family through some tough times...

Guest JeffCR07 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 My confirmation Saint is Francis of Assisi, who I heart. My "patron" Saint, the one I look to for advise and whose intercession I deeply depend on: St. Anselm of Canturbury, Doctor of Scholasticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son_of_angels Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 The saint I pray to everytime I go to Mass is St. Michael the Archangel. Angels are so cool, thus the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]618904[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Thanks Dudette, that's the guy. i just could not search an image of him (I ain't no computer pro)... He healed thousands upon thousands... his funeral is seen as the biggest in Canadien history (Rocket Richard's funeral came close... but Fr.Andre has him beat hands down). As for the inside of the oratory... i recommend anyone to just google the images... there are tons of them... It is one of the finer places in Catholicism... Canada's own 'NotreDame'. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
