why do you bother asking the holy spirit to help you and not just go look for it yourself?

i ask the Holy spirit if i have already looked for it and cant find it. not because im lazy or something. Either way God always remains Faithful,

You are saying this because you don't know the marty of Auschwitz SAINT Maximilian Mary Kolbe. That's my favorite Saint.

I know about maximillian kolbe and his sacrifice but am particular about how spiritually gifted st Anthony was.

He had the gift of healing,prophesy,speaking in tongues,levitation,bilocation among others.He is one of the most spiritually endowed people to have ever lived

That is true, He is also a Doctor of the Church and also one the most popular catholic saints. But many other saints have these gifts that he had, on the other hand I will show you something new, I mean a gift which no other saint had the oppurtunity to manifest(even if they had it), except KOLBE. My own saint has the Gift of what I call "The Divine MORE GREATER LOVE", I know you may not have heard of that before, Okay let me explain. In John15:13 Christ said:"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends". Now if Christ could Call "dieing for your friend" Greater Love, what will you call dieing for a "Stranger", I mean dieing for someone who is not your friend, me I call that "A MORE GREATER LOVE". He did this in imitation of JESUS CHRIST who Displayed the "GREATEST LOVE EVER" by dieing for we CONDEMED SINNERS. Christ talked about "Greater Love", Kolbe manifested "A MORE Greater Love" while that of Christ is and will forever remain GREATEST. No other siant had the OPPURTUNITY to manifest such "A MORE GREATER LOVE". Please if anyone knows another Saint I will be happy to know.

I think saint Pio had similar gifts

I had often wonder why st Anthony was so blessed.God really used him to perform the strangest of miracles.one of the most famous been his preaching to the fishes at the river in Rimini.

His canonisation only took 9 months the shortest in the history of the church.Some had even argued he had performed more miracles posthumously than when he was alive.

St pio the first priest to get the stigmata was another great saint and alongside Pope JP2,mother theresa,and kolbe the greatest saints of the twentieth century.

I am HAPPY NOW that you have started including KOLBE in your list. As a matter of FACT this is the BEST LIST OF SAINTS I have seen on NAIRALAND.

I love many Saints but I want to talk about St JoseMaria Escriva. He taught that you dont have to remove yourself from your daily life to be a saint. That you can sanctify yourself with your daily work and school etc by offering everything up to God and doing everything for the love of God. There are those who think that holiness is only possible for priests and religious and St JoseMaria's teaching is very relevant for these people.

Sometimes, it isnt just the spectacular things like miracles etc that matter. Even the little things matter a lot.

Brethren remember your Saints. We dont know how priviledged we are to have them as intercessors. I started a 9day novena to St Rita and it ended yesterday. Today I can feel God moving things already! The saints are wonder workers!! Mama Rita this is me doing what i promised, making you known...Nothing is impossible for God!!!

Padre Pio.
Re: For Catholics: Who Is Your Favorite Saint? by IamShiningStar(f): 7:09pm On Jul 29, 2018
Hmm! They plenty oo! Where I wan start? Aside MAMA MARIA, they plenty oo! St. Michael the Archangel, other Arch Angels, St. Anthony, Pio, Rita, St.Philomena the patron saint of all the children of MARY, Theresa of child Jesus, Theresa of vienna, Agatha, Lucy, Cecilia etc.

I also love me Prophet Elisha of old! Praying him for his triple portion anointing, that prophet has amazing anointing of just saying a word and you see it manifest instanta, whether people believe or not, once he utters it, it comes to pass immediately.
And I think he's the only prophet apart from Our Lord who manifested the miracle of multiplication! I so love him mehn!
