I guess I couldn’t pick just one…

The Blessed Virgin Mary
Saint Odhren
Saint Louis De Monford
Saint Francis of Assisi
Saint John for his gospel my favorite and probably the most beautiful thing ever written.
Saint Michael

i guess i would pick those as being the most important to me so far.

SPOKENWORD:
To me it was St. Nicholis. There was always a joy in my heart when I gave to others. St. Nicholis had that heart. The blessing for me was the opportunity to share with those who had less. Thank you Jesus. 👍 St. Anthony was a dear friend who always helped me to find things that were lost. P/s He is still at work today in my life. Im sorry if I sound catholic but Im speaking from my heart. 😉

Spoken:eek: You know the truth come back home.You have done it now I am going to get them to intercede and pray to Jesus that you come back home.😃
 
Let’s see…this is neat!..
OK, Teresa of Avila & Joan of Arc They always go together in my head; I admire their enormous courage. Two very different women, but such great hearts!!
And I have recently developed a great fondness for St Gertrude of Nivelles. She is the patron saint of cats. She is also the patron saint against mice, & the fear of them. (Can you tell I have a 😦 bit of a :eek: mouse problem?) I am very serious here…I talk to her nonstop as I’m setting traps, & disposing of the little monsters.
 
Are future saints allowed in this list?
For me it is the 3 little shepherd children of Fatima. 2 (Jacinta and Francisco are beatified) whilst we wait for Lucia to follow suit.
Their example to sacrifice and determination moves me always. I fell in love with them when I visited Fatima for the first time in 1992. They have had a huge impact as has the message of Fatima on my life.

If we’re doing future saints, then I’d also add Saint John Paul the Great.
 
I have several :

The Blessed Mother
St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face
St. Francis of Assisi
St. Clare of Assisi
The Cur of Ars
St. Thomas More
St. Edith Stein
St Theresa of Avila
St. John the Cross.
They have all touched me in a special way.
 
The one Saint that really began my deep conversion to the Saints whom I forgot. I can’t believe it because she changed how I began my spiritual journey.

St.Bernadette
 
St. Christopher, my patron saint is my favorite saint. He is what everyone should be. Nothing is known about him. And he spent his life serving others.

He is so obscure, that the big shots in the Catholic Church took him off the calender. This makes him the perfect saint for the ordinary person.
 
St. Francis of Assissi
St. Francis Xavier
St. John The Baptist
St. Anthony
St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Joan of Arc

These guys n’ gals have inspired me since I was a kid. They all hold the qualities of courage in the face of adversity, and sticking to your opinions, which I greatly admire. They all operated under a minimal of resources and died rather than give up their beliefs.
 
In no particular order:

Saint Francis of Assisi
Saint Anthony of the desert
Saint John of the Cross
Saint Anthony of Padua
and
Saint Hesychios
 
St. Mary (I especially like praying to her under her title Mother of Perpetual Help)
St. Joseph
St. Anne
St. Jude
St. Peter
St. Therese of Lisieux
St. Rita
St. Monica
St. Patrick

I hope to learn more about some of the lesser known saints.

When I made my Confirmation, I used my middle name for my Saint name, Marie. I’ll never forget what the bishop told me after he confirmed me: “what better role model to have than the Blessed Virgin”.
 
The Great Martyr and Physician Pantaleimon who brings Our Lord God Savior Iesus Christ to physical and spiritual sick. Powerful man originally called Pantoleon (all a lion) changed name as Christian to Pantaleimon (all Mercy).

Padre Pio “The Rosary is the weapon.”
