who is your favorite saint?

mine is ST. Anthony, ST. Jude and ST. Rita

mine is saint Rita and saint Anthony

Saint Rita for impossible cases and Saint Anthony for needs

that of saint Rita really works for me and it true

can i have a favourite saint . (million naira question)

for me the idea of a saint is where the need implies recourse to the individual saint.

i mean: St. Charles Lwanga (my patron saint ) is for youths, Sts. Jude Thaddeus, Rita, Anthony of Padua (amongst many) are for impossible cases;

St Christopher for travellers, etc.

but if i really have to choose one, i think it will be THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (Mater Dei ).

then St Joseph, Sts Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, (na wa for me abi)

Uhmnn

St Joan of Arc . . . My namesake

Moyola:

Uhmnn

hi dear. who's your favourite saint?

Ujujoan:

St Joan of Arc . . . My namesake

Used to belong to the St Jude society long ago, but I think I prefered St Valentine only I was never too sure if he was really a saint

chris, the thing is there are many real St Valentine.

see link: http://www.catholic.org/saints/stindex.php?lst=V

MIne is Saint Jude.

Hey all,

Mine are St. Martin de Porres, St. Aloysius (my namesake), and Blessed John Paul II (although technically he hasn't been declared a saint yet).

Like Carl, I don't really have a fav. saint.

I do love first and foremost the Blessed Virgin Mary (o how I love thee Mum)

Of course I can't forget my Saint Monica (my namesake)

I love St. Ignatius of Antioch for his courage and his teachings.

St. Ignatius of Loyola for his austere devotion to God. The Jesuits need a reformation, pray for that.

St. Augustine (my son) and the fact that he went from a playboy to a bishop (hear hear) I also love his writings.

St. Teresa of Avila also

oh Monica, you make my eyes water with joy.

i thought you were tired and needed to rest so i didn't post on the other thread.

Alan de la Roche was a blessed i.e Blessed Alan de la Roche.

Sts Agnes, Cecilia, Lucy, Agatha (i love this young girl saints-they make me burn with passion )

i like st. augustine when he said " God grant me chasity but not now" yea he wants to finish enjoying the good things of life before he signed up

Oh let your tears overflow a bucket, I will join you in shedding tears of joy, anyone else in the house want to join in shedding tears of joy?

I was tired, and did get some rest, I am about to head to work.
Thanks, I wasn't too sure if he's a saint, so Blessed Alan de la Roche he too preached the rosary unceasingly, anyone who preaches the rosary gladdens my heart, the heart of Our Mother, and most certainly the heart of Our Lord.

One thins I love about the young girl saints, is that I see how things are today with young girls and the little appreciation they have of themselves, and everytime I see one disrespecting herself and not giving herself credit to be able to dismiss the devil, I tell her about these girls. It gladdens my heart, and if I were to meet any today who take it upon themselves to leave everything and follow the Lord, especially in vocations, I will wash her feet like the Lord did his disciples, she is a reminder of Our Blessed Mother. She too was young when she left everything and followed the Lord.

I tell you I love St. Rose of Lima, she did penance so that she wouldn't get caught up in vanity. She was very beautiful, but thought her beauty was for the Lord's alone.

i like st. augustine when he said " God grant me chasity but not now" yea he wants to finish enjoying the good things of life before he signed up

Lol, I know, funny that's why he's one of my favorite saints. Quite frankly I think he is the model for our society. A society that is sex crazed, and doesn't know what to do with itself and decides to pass laws to permit itself and convince itself that if it is lawful it isn't wrong. He is the perfect model for all who think they cannot do without sex. He is the perfect combatant for those who say "bodi no be wood" or "man must ****" or "no one can stay away from having sex" as if sex is an involuntary necessity.

very true, some folks of today believes that life is boring without sex and st augustine is the perfect example, he believed it in enjoying of the fresh and he later realized that there was more to life than just fresh

I love me some Silvia Saint. . . . . ohhh ahhhhh

St. Leo the Great!!!
