MithLuin Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Of your choices, I voted for Max Kolbe, but then, I've always loved Franciscans. The choice should be good for you, which is why it's hard for other people to pick for you. Someone you have some connection to is always good.

Mari Therese Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Saint Tarcisius! My friend told me his story, and it was so beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kavalamyself Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Have you read about St. Colette? Don't be swayed by the sex. Just had to say that. Seriously (or maybe more realistically!) how about Francis!?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domine ut Videam Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 St. Tarcisius all the way! He was our patron saint of my gradeschool: Blessed Sacrament School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 It's funny, in RCIA the other night we were sitting around before class we were amicably chatting about what we do after Easter and John that co-teaches with Father goes, "So one thing we'll discuss is the story of Saint Maximillian Kolbe since he's so relatively modern". I could've died heh, given the Novena and everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyP89 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Oh, worth noting too: Just because you take one saint doesn't mean you won't have just as close a bond with the other, or others. So don't sweat over the decision as if it were life-or-death. (I hate making this analogy, but it's like starting off with, say, Hekate and realizing you're more of a Brighid kind of person. That's okay. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I was a dumb kid when I got confirmed. I picked St Joseph because my name is already Joseph and I didn't want to work very hard. Going back I'd pick Maximilian for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Maximilian goes way too well with the rest of your names, hon. You'd be like the archetypal German warlord. Edited February 28, 2009 by MissyP89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose wrought of iron Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Tarcissus is really cool, but so is St. Maximillian Kolbe... But I still think Maria Goretti beats all. That's why I picked her for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 St. Ignatios of Antioch or St. Polycarp. Both are martyr bishops of the early Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
