Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about what Saint I should choose for Confirmation. I was hoping you all could share a bit of information on one of your favorite Saints. This way hopefully we can all learn a bit more about some great examples of the faith. Thanks 🙂
 
St Teresa of Avila

She faced so many obstacles, hardships to change the Carmelites, and she had a sense of humor.

“While traveling to one of her convents, Teresa of ávila was knocked off her donkey and fell into the mud. “Lord, you couldn’t have picked a worse time for this to happen. Why would you let this happen?” And the response in prayer that she heard was, “That is how I treat my friends.” Teresa said, “And that is why you have so few of them!””

St. Maximilian Kolbe

He was a franciscan priest who was in Auschwitz and a bunch of men were about to be sent to be starved to death and one man started screaming out so Maximilian stepped out of line and took his place. He converted many people while they were starving as well as while in the camp. He was a man full of courage and he had an immense Marian devotion. There are many reasons why he is my favorite saint so if I were to post it all, it would be an extremely long post. lol
 
I’m still debating but I do feel very drawn to St. Therese of Lisieux. She is such a beautiful example of humility and is a very strong prayer warrior. Thanks to those who’ve entered so far. Its so much fun to learn about the many different examples of the faith lived. Just today I learned of yet another amazing Saint. At morning Mass, Father talked about St. Januarius. The Eucharistic Miracle associated with him is fascinating! During a Mass the Sacred Blood changed to the physical appearance of blood. Now that it has been years since the miracle the Blood is in solid form but everyday on the feast of St. Januarius it turns liquid again!!! Our God is so cool 👍
