St Therese of Lisieux, my patron who has worked miracles for me !!!
But there are others, sorry I cant stop at one,
My second fav is St Faustina
then, St Francis of Assisi
Then Padre Pio
Then St Jude
 
What a great question! It’s hard to pick a favorite.

Francis of Assisi is a saint that I have always greatly admired.

Of course, I think one of my favorite saints will be John Paul II when the time comes:)

Do you have one saint in particular who you really admire?

This question is impossible to answer. One of my favorite Saints has always been Saint Padre Pio, and he is my confirmation Saint. However, there are tons of Saints that I admire, so it’s impossible to determine which one is my absolute favorite. I don’t have an all-time favorite Saint. I have a favorite Saint of the week, or month, if possible.
 
Such a difficult question - there are so many wonderful saints (well of course they’re all wonderful!)

One of my persisting favourites is Saint Maria Goretti. She was only a little girl but she showed an incredible humility and love that few ever manage to reach.
 
Jude - Patron saint of lost causes 😃 Always a family favourite.

My dad, who is a CofE atheist, actually believes in St Anthony and prays to him whenever he is in a fix - and it always works! Seriously, any time he loses anything, he says a prayer and it turns up!

My own favourite is Athanasius. My name derives from his and he was heavily involved in politics, helping found the modern church as we know it. A fascinating chap whose name and symbols have been there throughout my life 🙂

Saint Damian of Moloka’i has been popping up in my life a lot recently.

Saint Pope Eugene I has been popping up in my life even though he’s rather obscure Also
Blessed Pope John Paul II is hanging around with me quite a bit. I hope that bishop Fulton Sheen becomes a saint soon cause he keeps popping up too quite a bit. Plus it would be kind of neat to have a saint from Peoria, Illinois
 
If it has to be one saint then it has to be Mary, of course. Hyperdulia. But I assume the OP means a saint other than Mary.

For me that would differ from time to time, but the saint I return to most over the long term might be St. Francis of Assisi, who is also my confirmation saint. Just started rereading the book about him by G.K. Chesterton.
 
Right now my favorites are Blessed Mother Teresa and Saint Catherine of Siena. Both strong women.
 
Hard to pick just one. They are all wonderful!

I have strong devotions to St. Michael, St. Jude, St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
 
I don’t know why but I really like

St. Simon a lot. Nothing is said about him in the New Testament but every account I’ve read on him shows that he was named Simon the Zealot because of his absolute zeal for his master and new faith. I read some brilliant speculation that he must have been the go to apostle when the other 11 were having trouble convincing an unbeliever.

St. Philip Neri because his life is incredible.
St. Ignatius of Antioch

Of course I’d be no where without the Blessed Virgin Mary 🙂
 
St. Ignatius of Loyola-
his Spiritual Exercises changed my life!! 😃
 
St. John of the Cross. His writings changed something inside of me. I just read Ascent of Mount Carmel. Awesome!
 
Saint Dominic. my future Holy Father. And Saint Francis, who is also a Father to the Dominican Order.
 
my patron saint, St. Lucy of Syracuse

…also, I’ve been praying to St. Jude regularly since he introduced himself into my life many decades ago when I was commissioned to paint a portrait of a saint I had not heard of, Saint Jude.
 
St. Francis Xavier… I didn’t really know much about him until I moved to Asia
 
Thérèse of Lisieux
St. Padre Pio
Maximilian Kolbe

My favorite saints that Ive found so far, I’m sure there will be more in the future. I tend to ask for Thérèse’s intercession the most though! 👍
