What saint have you read about that have had spiritual encounters?

Like.
Catherine of Siena, a lay member of the Dominican Order, was a mystic, activist, and author who had a great influence on Italian literature and the Catholic Church. Canonized in 1461, she is also a Doctor of the Church. Wik

St Teresa of Avila and St John of the Cross are two of the most notable mystics. St Thomas Aquinas had at least one such experience. All three are Doctors of the Church.
 
St Francis of Assisi had one such encounter that changed his life.
It happened at the church called “Portiuncula” where he heard a voice asking him to see how the church was in ruins.
Francis assumed HE was speaking of the dilapidated church where he was praying and started rebuilding it.
You can say that “The Franciscans Order” started there with that event.

Peace!
