I didn’t vote because Mary would be first and Joseph second no contest. After that there were about eight on the list that would be my favorites equally and I can’t choose one.
 
Ok, I don’t watch football, so I wouldn’t know who he is. @RuthAnne had me fooled!!! 😆
 
Yes, there are too many to choose a favorite-favorite!!! They’re all SO good!!! 🙂
 
I just picked the ones who had chosen me for this year… Six of the ones you had listed and a few others!!!
It was fun to take the poll and see the results…
 
Well, every January 1 I get a list of Saints and do a pick but really it usually turns out that the Saint has chosen me for a reason… Some saints insert themselves into my life and I keep them with me… like one year a St. Dymphna medal appeared in some things I inherited from my mother… I was making rosary bracelets and was putting Saints’ medals on them. I had a hard time saying Dymphna so I kept putting her back in the box. I thought she wasn’t that great or I would have heard of her before… (and maybe could have said her name…) lol! My niece (my god-daughter) was going through some very rough times and I began praying for her and that medal of St.Dymphna ended up in my hand again. I thought I’d look her up and found that she had a rough way to go with her father and that her father went a little out of his mind. She’s the patron saint of those with mental problems among other things… So, she helped me pray for my niece who turned out to be bi-polar and was diagnosed and got some help.

Little things like that… like another Saint, Saint Anthony always helps me find things (and I went to St. Anthony’s grade school)–so I keep him for every year.

This year for some reason St. Theodoret was the saint who chose me and when I read about him I understood he was to help me stay strong in my faith and not give up on Jesus no matter what hardships come along…he was tortured and whipped and burned and had his head cut off… I admire him so much because he said he didn’t feel a thing because Jesus was with him… WOW!

I think if you keep your eyes and ears open and listen to your heart you can tell. Like when I first started “Saint for the Year” I chose St. Peter because he was the closest to Jesus, I thought… and I wanted to be close to Jesus too. Soon after that, St. John and St James joined us. They were with him at the Transfiguration and in the Garden of Gethsemane. I try to read about their lives and remember them and ask them to help me pray for people.

Hope this helps…
 
All of them are great, but my favourite is St. Faustina Kowalska. Can’t wait to read her diary.
