In times of trouble or need, which saint do you most frequently call on and why?
 
I usually go right to the top…the Blessed Virgin Mary. She has always answered my prayers.
 
St. Dymphna.

Why? Because there is a reason the Lord said “fear not” so many times in the Bible, and why we hear “protect us from all anxiety” at every Mass; so many of our “problems” in life are reducible to anxiety. We are stressed because we are anxious about something; we are timid about sharing our faith because we are anxious about something; we don’t take a stand during a meeting because we’re anxious about something; we don’t sleep enough because we’re anxious about something; we don’t study well because our anxiety keeps us from studying; and on and on.

st anthony because personally in my case if i lose something and ask him to find it i do get it back pretty quick, mother mary because she is the mother of jesus…and my favourite intercessors are the holy souls in purgatory because if you pray for them they pray for you and prayers seem to get answered quick

The Blessed Mother, without a doubt. She’s my mother and she gives me whatever I need to get to Heaven. 😃

But once, I did obtain a miracle through the intercession of Cardinal O’Connor (previous Archbishop of New York). I didn’t know him in life, but I now refer to him as “my friend in heaven”. I have started praying to him recently for a special favor on behalf of a friend of mine who actually met him once.
 
I pray to St. Jude for guidance and St. Joseph for help with most everything.
 
St. Joseph especially when tempted by sins of the flesh or when I’m being attacked. I like him because he is a great example of what a father is supposed to be and all his works are done without one recorded word by him. Right now St. Faustina because I’m reading her diary.
 
The Saint I prayed most to must be Francis of Assisi. Somehow I always find injured animals. When I was a kid our Mom told me to pray to Francis of Assisi and they had his statue in church but not anymore though. So I prayed to him a lot.
 
I first go straight to Jesus.

Then I go to St. Theresa the Little Flower.
