FaustinaVianney Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Well, if you can't tell my by name my two fave saints are St Faustina and St John Vianney. I love the Divine Mercy. It's what is is all about. St Vianney is an amesome model of dying to self. "I must decrease and He must increase." He lived it so perfectly, always helping others. It's soooo beautiful! Well, I love St Dominic (I hope to become a Dominican), St Catherine, St Thomas Aquinas, St Therese, JPII, the list goes on!!! Anyone that is willing to live their life for the God Almighty is SOOO EXCITING!!! :clap:
the_rev Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Well, my favorite saint is St. Jude, I carry the prayer card in my pocket, and I'll say it a few times during school, and I'm never been left out with his intercession. Well here are a few of my other favorites: Padre Pio St. Therese of Liseux St. Dominic St. John Vinney St. Peter Maximillian Kolbe and Mother Teresa
M.SIGGA Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Pier Giorgio Frassati and Pope John XXIII are my two favorites. These two help me out all the time, but my favorite devotion is actually to the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
willguy Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 I have MANY Patrons. Let's see... Mary - nuff said (especially as Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Queen of the Clergy). St. Joseph - one of the two patrons of my vocation. I identify with God asking you to do something odd or unexpected. St. Benedict - the other patron of my vocation because it was a retreat at a Benedictine Abbey where I really admitted to myself that God was calling me. St. Francis - my baptismal saint, he's been my patron my whole life. I also love nature, the outdoors, and his peaceful life. Sts. Cecilia and Gregory - I like music (and am a musician), they are patrons of music. St. Aloysius Gonzaga - My confirmation saint. Patron of Catholic Youth. Great man. St. Dominic Savio - patron of youth and a model of child-like faith. St. Christopher - I like to hike/backpack and he's the patron of travellers. Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael - they're archangels. Plus, Michael is my protector and Raphael for the same reason as St. Christopher. Martyrs - especially the Martyrs of Gorkum and Martyrs of Nagasaki.
Ellenita Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 I'm fairly new to the idea of asking a saint to pray for you about something specific but I had the most amazing example of this happening this week and don't think I'll ever question it again! A friend of mine has been trying to move out of a very difficult situation, buying and selling a house in a chain involving seven different people. The legal stuff has been going on for months and months and the stress has been dreadful. Yesterday her solicitor told her that once again the contracts would not be exchanged that day - it was about an hour before all the firms closed for business. So I decided to go and pray for a miracle and asked St Rosa of Lima to pray too - my friend is Peruvian and originally from Lima. Literally ten minutes after I had finished praying the solicitor rang to say that all contracts had been exchanged and a moving date has been set - on my friend's birthday! :D :D I've been happy dancing ever since! Thank you St Rosa for praying, and our Father for listening and answering our prayers!
