st. charles borromeo would be one of my top picks

this a hard topic

That’s quite a list! For you, a better question might be, who isn’t your favorite saint! 😃

There are quite a few saints that have touched my life in one way or another as well, but if pressed to pick one, it would be St. Benedict of Nursia.
 
St. Ignatius of Loyola, there are many parallels to his faith journey and my own, and his Spiritual Exercises changed my life.

St. Mary Magdalene, she allowed her encounter with Jesus to change her life, and became one of his most devout followers. She is a wonderful example for all women.
 
Yeah, I could add about 10 more “favorite saints” this morning alone.

Thanks be to St. Vincent Ferrer, patron saint of plumbers, for helping me get the clogged toilet fixed last night…now I will be calling on him today again to help me reassemble the seal on the float on the other toilet that was leaking.
 
St Mary - for being His chaste Mother
St Peter - for being called our rock of the Church
St John - for his love and humility
St Luke - for his Scripture and ministry
St Paul - for his boldness and suffering for Jesus
St Irenaeus - for his orthodoxy and bravery
St Athanasius - for his testimony to Scripture and suffering exiles
St Jerome - for his love of Scripture and service to Jesus
St Damasus - for his kindness to Jerome and love of Scripture
St Augstine - for his conversion and service to Jesus
St JPII - for his sound teaching and love of neighbor

St Lucy has been very kind to me. i prayed to her before i had surgery on both of my eyes. i was afraid i would not be able to drive a car anymore.

thanks to Her intercession my vision was restored
 
Saint Elmo’s Fire. Great movie and lots of nostalgia for us baby boomers.
 
Saint Great Martyr Catherine
Saint Marina
Saint Varvara (Barbara)
Saint Prophet Elli - I was born on his feast and for the longest time of my life I had no idea who he was only knew the customs that he is patron of weather. When I get angry at the world I now think of him, how he got angry and am I right. I wish I never felt anger but since I do I hope he can make so that at least I can spared of feeling the wrong anger.

Can’t say my “favorites” but St. Mary of Egypt is one of my personal heroes of sanctity and penance.
St. Faustina for being the modern messenger of Divine Mercy.
The Little Flower for teaching us the little way of daily mortification, even if they’re very small
 
It’s become more difficult for me to have favorite saints. Each one can teach me something different and special.

Notwithstanding, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and Saint Catherine of Siena, I have chosen to be my best of friends, chief patrons, and teachers. Each one quite unique and different from the other and yet very similar in other ways.

Our Lady, particularly under the titles of Our Lady of Fatima, (It was Our Lady of Fatima who got me to revert to the Catholic Faith) Our Lady of the Rosary, and Our Lady of Grace.

I forgot to mention Our Lady of Sorrows. I really like Our Lady of Sorrows, so strong and brave, yet so merciful and forgiving, she willing suffered those seven sorrows and gave up her only begotten Son so that God and us sinners could be reconciled and afterwards, she happily embraces as her children through the blood of her first-born.
 
I’ve been reading about some saints, and St. Moses the Black’s story really struck me, so I’d say so far he’s my favorite.
 
Poles!
JP2
Faustina
Kolbe

Hopefully Jerzy Populesko gets canonized soon…
 
The Blessed Virgin and two of her favorite daughters, St. Therese and St.Bernadette. They brought me back home. I love those three extraordinary Ladies!!!
