Need saint suggestions for specific intentions

[dilleachta]

I’m trying to find prayers for specific intentions and would like some suggestions on patron saints who might be useful. These are the different areas of intention:

1. 
   *]Self control/self discipline/mortification of senses and appetites
   *]Humility/awareness that God is always in control/releasing the compulsion to try to control things/circumstances
   *]The conversion of a spouse/loved one
   
   Any ideas?
   Thank you!!!

 

[Catholic1954]

St. Benedict for #1 and #2 and the Holy Spirit or St. Monica for #3.

 

[Hatikvah]

1. Self control/self discipline/mortification of senses and appetites

• St. Mary of Egypt (against carnal temptations/impurity, warfare against flesh)
• St. Gemma Galgani (for purity, against temptation)
• St. Mary Magdalene (penitent sinners, repentance, sexual temptation)

1. Humility/awareness that God is always in control/releasing the compulsion to try to control things/circumstances

• St. Jude (lost causes, desperate situations)
• St. Joseph (desperation), if you’re willing???
• St. Benedict of Nursia (he was a monk)
• St. Basil the Great of Caesarea (a monk)

1. The conversion of a spouse/loved one

• St. Monica, mother of St. Augustine (for conversion of relatives; she prayed for Augustine’s conversion for 20 years)

There’s more, but these ones I discovered for the occasion. Hope they help!

1. 1. Saint Augustine or Saint Jerome come to mind.
   2. Saint Teresa of Avila (“God alone suffices, let nothing disturb you”)
   3. Saint Rita of Cascia
