Is there a patron saint for sexual addiction??? I need all the graces I can get, as I like to collect medals to gain intercession.

First of all. You do not gain the intercessions from medals. They are there to remind us Catholics of the Saints and what not. We like our visible reminders.

And no it is not against the 10 commandments to have the medals. Of course if you see someone worshipping the medal than that obviously is a sin, but having things with images is not wrong. Do you have pictures in your house?

As to the OP I would suggest perhaps the saints who died for Virginity.

the wearing of medals is wearing a prayer asking for the intercession of a particular saint. Many medals have “Pray For Us” written on the back. For example, I have medals of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Augustine asking for their help so I don’t fall into error. The efficacy of wearing the Miraculous Medal has been proven many times over, which I also where.

from further internet search:
Saint Margaret of Cortona - Patron saint of those who suffer
from sexual temptations.

Saint Therese of Lisieux (The Little Flower of Jesus) - Model of purity
and innocence.

Saint Philomena (Powerful with God) - Early Christian virgin and martyr
who was tortured and killed for
witnessing to Christ.

Saint Agatha - Another early Christian martyr who was mutilated and
killed rather than allow herself to be violated by
a Roman soldier.

Saint Dymphna - An Irish Christian martyr who was killed by her father rather than enter into an incestuous marriage.

Saint Mary of Egypt - A reformed child prostitute who died a hermit. Patron saint of penitent women, prostitutes and sexual temptation.

Saint: Clare of Montefalco (Clare of the Cross) -

O God, you chose to glorify Saint Clare of the Cross, fixing in her life and on her heart the signs of Our Lord’s passion, so that she might be a model of faith and an example of love. Through her intercession, grant me a vibrant devotion to the cross of Jesus so that I, too, may be an authentic disciple of our Divine Redeemer for the salvation of the world.

Saint Clare, pray for me that I may be strengthened each day to take up my cross and follow Jesus. Amen.

Saint Maria Goretti - Italian peasant girl who, at the age of 11,
chose death over sexual violation.
St. Maria Goretti was murdered in 1902 by
Alessandro Serenelli and canonized on
June 24, 1950.

Mary, the Mother of God - Virgin of Virgins, model of perfect purity.
She desires, above all else, to lead each and
every one of us, her children, back to her
son Jesus.
Hope that these help **

There’s always St. Augustine, who before becoming a Catholic prayed “Give me chastity and continence, but not yet.”

C.S. Lewis is awfully helpful on this matter too. Though you’re not going to find his medal.

yes, praying to the medal is a sin, for that would be using the sacramental incorrectly. The medal is the prayer asking for constant intercession of the saint, and the graces are given by God.

Saint Agnes of Rome is a patron saint for chastity as well as Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Hi,

My apologies I misread your reply and thought you were coming from the opposite position. Please forgive.
