I’m praying for a miracle concerning my personal cross. I would like to daily pray to a 20th century Blessed to help me out-hoping that I could help him/her gain Sainthood-- thus double bonus :p! Can anyone suggest some or a dictionary like source with a simple list, with short definition of the Blesseds up for Sainthood? Thanks
 
Blessed Pier Girogio Frassati is the only one that pops into my head.
Oh, and Blessed Teresa of Calcutta/Mother Teresa, too.

Here is a wikipedia list of blessed people. There is the date of beatification, so you can see how recent they are. It says that it is an incomplete list, but it is a good start.

Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman.

We now have St. John Henry Cardinal Newman. Canonization? Would have to check.

One could also pray to Pope John Paul II who, as I understand it, is in the process of being beatified.
 
There are also some holy people who aren’t even beatified yet-- Takashi Nagai of Nagasaki is one. Well, I’m not sure if he is beatified or not (what I read on him was fuzzy on this matter). :confused: He is called “the saint of Nagasaki” in Japan, but I’m pretty sure that is a fond name, not an actual canonization.
 
Blessed Father Aloysious Luigi Guanella and Blessed Sr. Clare Bosatta. They are the founders of the Daughters of St. Mary of Providence. The DSMP’s have homes all over the world where they care fo the mentally handicapped, the elderly and orphans. Motherhouse is in Rome, and the North American provincial motherhouse is in Chicago. They do amazing work!

Fr. Guanella may be cannonized soon - we’re praying for that!

He was a close friend of St. Don Bosco. I just know Fr. Guanella would take on your cause and present it to Jesus for you. His motto is “Divine Providence can provide. Divine Providence did provide. Divine Providence will provide!”
