Thank you! I love that there are so many wonderful examples of love and piety in our Saints. Is BVM considered a saint? Just wondering.
 
Tough question–all of them really but that’s waffling.

Our Lady and St. Joseph
St. John the Baptist
St. Maksymilian Kolbe
St. Peter (the most human of all the apostles)
St. John the Evangelist
St. Jeanne d’Arc
St. Jude Thaddeus

And John Paul II (he’ll be made one soon, God willing!).

Nice thread!

Love St. Francis of Assisi. He always assists me when I have a little/big request for
my Wolf dog’s.😛

Padre Pio was/is so special. The most recent movie made about him was very well
done andincluded many inspiring reminders.

St. Mary Magdalene

Was blessed to venerate her relics & attend Mass last week in New York City. It was an amazing experience. Thanks for asking! hugs to you

(edit)
Nearly forgot to mention another Saint close to my heart~
St. Catherine Laboure of the Miraculous Medal.
 
St. Gianna Beretta Molla

She’s the saint I chose to be my patron when I converted this past Easter.

I’m still struggling to figure out how to make praying to the saints feel conversational and comfortable. It always feels so stilted and awkward for me when I try. 🤷
 
This changes all the time as I find out about new saints but in no particular order
Mary & Joseph
St Ignatius of Loyola
St Francis Xavier
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati
St John of the Cross
St Teresa of Avila
St Therese of Lisieux
St Faustina
St Damien of Molokai
St Michael the archangel
St Thomas Aquinas

Some I pray to asking their intercession others I simply admire for what they wrote or did.
 
My Favorite Saints of all time are:

Blessed Virgin Mary- She is my heavenly mother and she has helped me alot in my prayers. I have so much love for her.

St.Gerard Majella- He is my role model his story is so great and he made relize it is important to pray for the souls in purgatory and also we share the same name.😃
