My list seems to have grown since the last time we had a favorite saint thread.
St Anne – for her suffering and how well she answers me when I do, and she is the patron saint of mothers
St Jude – who always aids me when I need it the most
St Rita of Cascia – Also a patron of hopeless causes (like St Jude), Patron Saint of abusive/difficult marriages (which I thank God I am free from) and of loneliness.
St Antony of Padua – who always helps me find what is lost, physical or spiritual
St Margaret – My confirmation saint, for her earlier suffering which I identify with, her devotions and good works, for help in resisting temptation, for protection from gossip
St Michael – Who I always turn to when needing protection from evil for myself and my daughter
St Joseph – for his protection of our home
St Francis of Assisi– who helps me when my animals are ill, and his beautiful writings
St Monica – for her powerful help in praying for conversion of others
St Padre Pio – His fascinating life, miracles, and holiness
St Augustine - So many beautiful writings/quotes
St Barbara – who I pray to for resistance of anger or protection from religious attack
St Catherine Labouré – for bringing us the many blessings of the Miraculous Medal
