As many other people have already said it is very difficult to choose.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is definitely first and I am so thankful to for her deeping my relationship with her and her Son through the rosary.

After the Blessed Mother it turns into a list: Saint Joseph, Blessed Mother Teresa, Saint Padre Pio, Blessed Pope John XXIII, Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Faustina, Saint Therese of Lisieux, Saint Michael the Archangel, my guardian angel, etc.
 
I was actually very fortunate enough to have been able to see a holy relic of St Magdalene last week. I touched my prayer card and rosaries to the glass. I was in awe…it was just an incredible, humbling feeling to be in the same room as her tibia.
 
Saint Josemaria Escriva`, his writings brought me back to my faith after a very long absence.
 
Our Blessed Mother:)

Specifically Our Lady of Lourdes (among other sites)
 
When I was a little girl, I loved St. Cecilia, because I had a love for music and poetry, but am neither a poet or musician.
I have chosen Teresa as my confirmation name for two family members, one of which was NAMED Theresa (became Sr. John Birkman) and one who was not named Theresa but became Sr. Teresita. I wanted to do more research on the Saint Theresas, so I got a book called The Four Theresas. I found the saint I most could relate to (and very, very well) was St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (aka St. Edith Stein). She, like me, was very scholarly and was drawn to the TRUTH, whatever that may have ended up being. She studied her way into the faith and ultimately died for it, one because she was a Catholic (the Nazis came and took her and her sister Rose from the convent) and also because she had been Jewish. Sad story. I would love to read some of her writings someday.

The saints I pray to the most, though, are: St. Gerard, St. Jeanne D’Arc and St. Michael the Archangel.

And obviously, Our Blessed Mother, who is in her own realm. I pray to her CONSTANTLY.
 
My favourites are Bernadette Soubirous (Im taking her name at my confirmation this Easter Vigil!) and Francis of Assisi. He was cookie and loved animals. How can you not love that guy?

I love hearing about who other people’s favourite saints are! It always makes for a fun and informative conversation.
 
I have always been devoted to St.Josoeph because of his acceptance of Mary as an unwed mother and his influence on the life of Jesus. I also admire the letters of St. Paul.

Aw yeah, Joseph was a gentleman. :yup:
 
In addition to the Theotokos, it used to be St. Francis of Assisi, but has now become St. John Chrysostom
 
Well, clearly Our Lady but She’s in a class all by Herself, so I’m going to tell you my favorite saints instead.

St. Joseph:highprayer:
St. Maria Goretti:highprayer:
St. Teresa of Avila:highprayer:
St. Cecilia:highprayer:
St. Bridget:highprayer:
St. Francis of Assisi:highprayer:
St. Padre Pio:highprayer:
 
Definitely, #1 is our Lady.

I can’t pick just one, because they all inspire me in some way:

St Philomena
St Teresa of Avila, my patron saint
St Joseph of Cupertino
St Padre Pio
St Rita of Cascia
St Joseph
St Jude Thaddeus
 
I love St Francis of Assisi for he lived and loved Jesus life so intensely. He was absolutely madly in love with God and God’s creation. :extrahappy:
 
Blessed Pius IX, he has never denied me anything I have applied to him for.
