I'm hoping to convert to Catholicism and I really want to thank you guys for all you do. The night I discovered you, I had been undergoing a lot of spooky stuff and I woke up during your video about exorcism in an inordinate state of peace. I never would have found your channel if it wasn't for God. You would've come up on my autoplay and I would have slept right through you. Close to the beginning of this video, I asked God that if there was a Saint that came up in this video or my life that I should devote to, He might please give me a sign. When Maria Goretti came up, I got massive chills almost inside my body, and not in a bad way. Your channel is helping me and so many so much with our faith. I really can't thank you enough. God bless you.

[@CatholicTalkShow]

WOW! That's amazing! God bless you too!

[@caitlindavies4781]

Confirmation saint is St Bernadette as had most amazing religious experience in Lourdes at 13. Our Lady said God made you the way you are for a reason, which helped me deal with growing up with severe disabilities. Thanks guys for all you do

[@shellytgregory1]

You guys are entertaining, WHILE , also, teaching about the Catholic faith. Your passion regarding the faith, as well as, your personal stories are contagious! Keep up the great work!!!

[@alansloan212]

This may Interest you Shelly. Ask them, Catholics, to explain "The Game" "The Pentacle" or the Luciferian principles thereof and or therein. What they do with the Truth and to the people who tell it. Ask them what the current Pontiff meant, or what he was referencing, when he stated "To all Catholics" to "Stop playing this cruel Make a Saint Game" Ask them how and why people are being locked up in the Pentacle whilst residing in the public domain, Psychologically Tortured and "Masonically" Locked out of the Judiciary as I have been for OVER 50 YEARS until proving this ?! I already know. For those of you reading this and thinking that I am "Having a go" at the Catholics and or the Catholic Church. You are wrong, what they are doing is wrong, gives rise to both Satanism and Witchcraft, by definition and way of Covert invasive surveillance, but the Sniggering Backstabbing Masonic Protestant involvement in this, is arguably worse and certainly more Gutless and indeed, I think that they may well have all soiled themselves at this point. The Judiciary is Masonic Rotten. The Mental Health Services is Masonic Rotten and The Policing Services, are Masonic Rotten. This may be more relevant to what is going on than you think ! Are The Windsor's Going To Fall ? Well, for a start, they've never been up and are NOT even Noble, but they have already fallen !!!300 year Old Masonic Ignoble Conspiracy EXPOSED .... Hello, if you would like to know what is going on and what the Catholic Church, the Windsor's and the Masons are up to, you should read this book of Irrefutable and Historical Evidence referenced below. So, who am I ? King Alan 1st. Miraculous and True King of England. PROVEN. RE ::: Paul Simon .... "You can call me AL" Robbie Williams ... "Something Beautiful" AKA "You can't manufacture a Miracle" (Who worked the Miracle "THAT DAY" ?) Robbie Williams ... "We've been expecting you" (Expecting who?") Beautiful South ... "Liverpool, Rotterdam, Rome" (Who was "Wearing RED underwear" ?) Shania Twain ... "Lets go girls" (Who kissed their carving knife ?) U2 ... "One man come in the name of Love .... One man climb through a barbed wire fence ..." Dido ... "White Flag" MANY MORE SONGS .... MANY MORE MIRACLES. The music, just makes me famous .... The Miracles, make me real. I am the reason why Elizabeth Windsor went to Rome to see the Pontiff, John Paul II, with a Canaletto Oil Painting after I worked a Miracle that took place whilst I was SITTING ALONE in my own living room, catching them watching me. Yes, you are being watched in your own homes. If you would like to see the Clear and Visible Evidence of the Miracle that took place whilst I was SITTING ALONE in my own living room in Birkenhead UK for yourselves. Simply, research a TV Programme that AIRED LIVE on a Channel Called ITV in the UK. It is, or was, a Music Programme, again, that AIRED LIVE called CDUK and the day in question was the immediate Saturday after George Harrisons death in the early 2000's. They play a tribute song to George Harrison that I feel you will have heard of, called "My Sweet Lord" NOW .... Watch what happens when the video and song finishes and it cuts back to the studio audience and the presenters, Ant, Dec, Cat Deeley and Emma Bunton of Spice Girl Fame. They are all crying, watch what happens and listen to what they say. Either Ant or Decland, looks STRAIGHT INTO the camera and says or asks ME .... "Are you doing this?" They had just witnessed ME working a Miracle in my own living room and had been caught watching me, which Is why you will see Emma Bunton running around in a Puddle of her own wee saying "We are going to Stop the Game, we are going to stop the game !!!!" Then Cat Deeley tries to gain some sort of stability by saying something to smooth it all over, so that the other viewers sitting in their homes in ignorance would not suspect anything. I would suggest that you both research and watch it ! A short time later, Elizabeth Windsor went running to Pope John Paul II with a Canaletto under her arm to get it all covered up. Then, a short time after that, Ant and Dec where invited to and given an "Access All Areas" back stage pass to Buckingham Palace, an Exclusive Interview with Charles Windsor and then an OBE, or MBE, or something each and are now worth in excess of 30 MILLION QUID a piece !! Nice Bribery Package eh !!! If you find this hard to believe, get an email address to me and I'll email you a 12 page Historical Document of Irrefutable Evidence that PROVES IT. There is a MASSIVE cover-up going on, this is why they are all over the MSM and TV now. They want both the Miracles, Me, my life and the "Game" that they are all involved in COVERED UP ! They ARE NOT even Noble let alone Law Abiding !! The Book PROVES IT. You want to know who was working the Miracles ? (ME) read the book. Listen to the Lyrics of the songs .... The Book of Irrefutable evidence is now on Amazon Books and simply Called / Titled …. King Alan 1st, Miraculous and True King of England. The evidence of and for my Identity Historic, together with the over 300 year old conspiracy surrounding it is now there for you to see. Take it or leave it. I can do no more. I am NOT even asking you to take my word for it. The link to it is below. You may have to copy and paste it into the address / search bar. www.amazon.co.uk/King-Alan-1st-Miraculous-England/dp/1789557712/ref=sr_1_1?crid=JWSAZFJ88FEM&keywords=9781789557718&qid=1585048334&sprefix=self+help%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-1 Alternatively, if you copy and paste the ISBN number 9781789557718 into the search bar on Amazon, this will bring up the book's page.

​@@alansloan212 Get help, brother.

[@victoriasoto7335]

St Padre Pio !! Whoop whoop 🙌

[@Fat_garagem]

I was converted by saint Barbara when I was serving in the Brazilian artillery, she is the patron saint of artillery. I am a devotee of our Lady Aparecida, Teresa de Liseux, Padre Pio and Dulce of the poor.

[@TheDoctorsDancer]

I remember receiving this nightlight of Our Lady from my PSR class in like, 1st grade? Anyway, I was very afraid of the dark for many years, so I would turn on my nightlight, then turn off the lights. If I was struggling to sleep or still felt uneasy, I would kneel in front of Our Lady. Sometimes I would pray, but most of the time I would sit and contemplate what it must have been like to be the mother of Jesus. It always brought me such peace. I still have the nightlight, though I don't need it anymore, but Our Lady is still a major sense of comfort to me.

[@dianealbrecht1208]

St Therese, my confirmation name. Loved her since l was 6 and my mom read me a book about her life. She is called the Little Flower but she had a will of iron! Also St. John Paul the Great. My son has Parkinsons, as did Our holy Father and he has a great devotion to him. His rosary was blessed by him.My son was a lukewarm Catholic and now he says the rosary daily and watches the Holy Mass everyday on You Tube during this pandemic.

[@ZerimarClassics89]

San Martin De Porres is my saint. Instantly started clinging to him after the passing of my grandfather.

[@avakenney6081]

Saint Anne the mother of our mother. ❤️🙏🏼

[@chicagoman393]

The Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit, if many churches are correct. If many churches are correct, the Trinity is a Family-- two Parents and a Progeny, similar to a human family.(Humans are made in the "likeness" and "image" of God according to Genesis 1:26, although the human author of Genesis probably didn't know about the Trinity when he wrote Genesis) In the book of Job, which is in the Bible, God is compared to a father and a mother with a womb "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?"-Job 38:29. Because we can think of God as like a mother (Isaiah 42:14, Isaiah 66:13, Matthew 23:37, Catechism of the Catholic Church 2nd edition paragraph 239), all three roles(Father,Mother,Progeny) in a basic human family are filled in the Trinity. Saying that the Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit is another way of saying "the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son" which has been official Catholic teaching for centuries. The Church teaches that the Son is begotten by the Father. If this is correct, the Father is the Father(Parent) of the Son. The Church teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. If this is correct, the Father and the Son are Parents of the Holy Spirit. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (second edition) paragraph 246 says that the Holy Spirit's "nature and subsistence" is "at once...from the Father and the Son."If the Church calls Mary mother(parent) of God even if Mary isn't the first source of Christ's humanity(God is the first source), then the Son can also be called a Parent of God (the Holy Spirit). If the Church is correct, the Father is the principle-Parent and the Son is the begotten-Parent. The scriptures are vague if the Holy Spirit is the Second or Third Person of the Trinity, whichever of these is true, the First and the Second may be the Parents of the Third. Parent definition from Merriam-Webster dictionary: One that begets or brings forth offspring. Principle means base/foundation/first-source/first-origin/root-cause.

[@Tomatohater64]

For me this isn't even close. Although he only lived for 48 or 49 years, the Christian Colossus, the Dumb Ox, the very Titan of our beliefs, Saint Thomas Aquinas is my absolute hero for whatever time Jesus gives me on earth. So amazingly humble, he said that all he had written during his life was "chaff." Blessed by God with what must have been an immeasurable intellect, he always placed God first and foremost in all our lives. Although it took me about 8 months, I read every word of his magnificent Summa Theologica - left me totally and utterly speechless.

[@zuzaninha]

Guys, I hope you see this because I want to thank you: Some episodes ago you mentioned the Luis Montfort consecration to Jesus through Mary. I immediately looked it up and found out that the 34th day should be on a Marian feast, so I thought I would have to postpone it... but anyway I counted the 33 days and lo and behold, the 34th day was Our Lady of Fatima feast (which is tommorrow) which made me very happy that I was able to start right away and also you know what? I am in Portugal...

[@morgala2271]

St Cuthbert - he won't be well known to you, but he's my local saint, I went to the school and I love holy island...

[@danharazin3605]

My confirmation saint is St.Lawerence. I didn’t really know much about him, it was just the name of the high school my father attended. Years later I’ve learned about his story and how awesome he is. I’m very glad to have him praying for me! I also have a particular devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, so San Juan Diego is another favorite of mine.

[@adrianstaystrong]

Saint John of God is important for me as someone in the healthcare field and as someone who has to continually remind myself to not beat myself up over past actions but rather focus on helping others and doing better in the present.

[@liambrown2711]

1. St. Michael the Archangel (confirmation saint) 2. Mama Mary 3. Saint Peter 4. Saint Jose Sanchez Del Rio

[@lois2997]

Yes number 4 is my newest favorite saint

[@MarylinTurner-tm3nv]

"St" Michael is the devil

[@rosemariekury9186]

St. Anthony for lost objects, St.Jude for the impossible things in my life, and St.Jerome, as I’m one of those cranky old ladies, but I really like St.Paul and since I know Archbishop Sheen I pray also for his intercession in these troubled times.

[@nathanalex6880]

I’m a convert (and late to the game) but my top 5: 1. Our Lady definitely a major player in bringing me home. 2. St. Francis for his simplicity, appreciation for nature, and wandering spirit. 3. St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta because her example of love towards the poorest of the poor was always something I’ve been inspired by even prior to my conversion. Her spiritual struggles and her honesty about them are also encouraging. 4. St. Maximilian Kolbe because of his martyrdom and the reason he gave for his Christian witness. Also his love for the BVM. 5. St. Catherine of Siena for her relationship with Our Lord and its degree of intimacy. Also her counsel and chastity.

[@rachelwalsh5352]

top 5 for me 1. Mary mother of God (St, queen, marian all the way) 2. St Joseph (humility) 3. St Francis of Assisi (patron of animal, suffering through stigmata) 4. St Philomena (suffering and strength) 5. St Faustina (Divine Mercy)

[@Lola-kv6fx]

I come from a long lineage of Catholics both from my dad and mom side of the family Mexican Catholics, went to Catholic schools all my life. I knew there were saints but, growing up I really didn’t know much about saints it wasn’t until recently that I have learned about saints and their stories. Growing up was God the father, the son and Holy Spirit, Virgin Mary (virgen de Guadalupe), St Joseph and of course my guardian angel. God always bless and keep you guys.

[@elwow72]

St Anthony. I’m always losing things. 😊 I feel a strong connection to St. Teresa of Calcutta. She had struggles with her faith, yet unselfishly kept helping the poor to praise God. I’ve had struggles of faith when my child with special needs was born, yet I kept moving forward to raise her as a child of God, knowing God chose me to take care of her.

[@eneal2056]

Oops! How could I forget St. Anthony! He finds lost things for me or someone I recommend him to at least once a month. He is so good at it I light a candle at his shrine about once a month.

[@cassandrajordan2820]

Maria goretti is my confirmation saint. She was 11 when she died and I was 11 when I was confirmed.

[@ignatiusjackson235]

My sister's confirmation saint is Maria Goretti, too!

[@TheJoshC90]

St. JPII and St. Benedict for me. Currently looking at St. Louis De Montfort as well. My arsenal of Saints is currently in progress lol

[@eneal2056]

Those three incredible men are just the "tip of the iceberg". There's nothing like studying the lives of the saints to help us grow in our own spiritual life.

[@VincentJohnValentine]

I am in the process of conversion, I'm not sure how choosing a patron saint works for adult converts, but I am stuck on choosing a single patron thus far. So I'm glad you left it open to a top five! Lol St. Joseph, St. Paul, St. Vincent de Paul, St. John the Apostle, and St. Valentine! I love all for various reasons, all of equal importance to me. St. Joseph: I am a father that would do anything for my children and wife, before ever considering the Church, I lived in a very dangerous city. My wife was terrified daily that something awful could happen, and though I had a decent job and I enjoyed our apartment I prayed hard for a sign, in my thoughts almost constantly and out loud as many times as I could find in my day. Ultimately, after a shootout caused me to swerve my car into the other lane, after correcting, I parked at a gas station aways up the road to calm my wife and children. I was thinking to myself "Well, Lord, was this your sign that leaving isn't an option but a necessity?" I sarcastically thought also "Could you be more soft with your words next time You need to prove something to me?" and there was an Amazon pick up station there at the gas station, I kid you not, it's designation was "Proof". I applied for every single entry level job I could find, quite literally. I had absolutely no idea where we could go, I have no formal education and all of my savings had gone into getting us where we were, thinking it'd be a good place for my family. I got a job offer in Scranton, PA - 1,774 miles away. This would be a huge decision, possibly facing homelessness and who knows what else. I was still terrified but held dearly those past signs I had received and we packed. We fit everything we could in our 2005 4 Runner and headed out, I couldn't sleep the entire way. Partly because my kiddos were not keen on sleeping in either hotels or when the car wasn't moving. Somehow I stayed conscious for the duration of the 36 hour drive and last minute my wife wanted to visit family just a bit further up the road in New York, it only added a couple hours on the already insane drive so I thought it couldn't hurt and would help with our expenses since they'd let us stay there to recoup before my job. My wife went into labor the very next morning, prematurely. One thing led to another and ultimately we settled in New York, deep in the woods in a very small and safe town. Somehow, our daughter would be delivered with no further complications and would developmentally catch up within her first 6 months, we regained our finances, I got an even better job, am furthering my education, and was able to also take care of my own medical needs. We found out I had cancer which spurred me into action, getting closer to God and beginning my conversion. We removed my tumor and though they don't like to make any official call after at least 5 years of monitoring, I am still showing no signs of it having progressed 6 months after surgery. The necessity to always take care of family and the fleeing of a dangerous place, allowing God to completely dictate and guide what happens draws me to St. Joseph. St. Paul: Though I mentioned praying before seeking the Lord through the Church, that was not always the case. I wasn’t raised Christian, I was what most people call “Jack Mormon” though I never bought the teachings. Most of my life I wasn’t Christian at all, I was more often than not a militant atheist. As a teen & young adult, I was a criminal and absolute hedonist. A thief and drug smuggler that often slept around, even finding enjoyment in turning girlfriends against each other. I was a horrifying monster. Though I began changing when I met the woman that would become my wife, I firmly believe I wasn’t changed in my entirety until I experienced the grace of God that I mentioned above. It was in the miracles of finding a home, my youngest daughter's survival & well being, along with discovering & treating my own cancer that I became almost radical. I read the Bible for the first time ever in 86 days and took over 200 pages of notes while working full time, studying for college, and being a present father & husband. I began fervently reading the writings of the Church Fathers as well as various Papal encyclicals, exhortations, & bulls from over the millennia. My library card became well worn from continual check outs of Scott Hahn, G. K. Chesterton, and Jimmy Akin. I am constantly studying apologetics through videos by Trent Horn, Gabi After Hours, and Bishop Robert Barron as well. I refuse to engage too deeply in apologetics, however, until after my baptism and my parish gives me blessing to do so. I am absolutely burning with zeal but all of it is no use if I accidentally misdirect a single person. I am drawn closely to St. Paul, a man that knows the immense pain of learning just how wrong and evil you have been and after knowing Christ, is made into a tidal wave of the Word, burning with zeal to tell all of the world. St. Vincent de Paul: I have always struggled immensely with charity. My directionless upbringing in poverty gave me a “canis canem edit” mentality of the world. I stole what I could to feed and clothe myself and my little sister and this evolved into the lifestyle I led as I said above. What I “needed” to steal became stealing what I wanted, and so on. But even now, in the midst of my assurance that the Lord is alive, and while I am burning with zeal, I still have a hard time being charitable. The darkest part of my mind says “Why help them, when no one helped me?” or “If I figured it out and made it to the other side, they will too.” I know this is the devil feeding on my own trauma, an antithesis of the Lord’s love for all and especially for those most in need of his grace. I am drawn to St. Vincent de Paul whenever I see a man with a sign, or a single mother asking for change in a parking lot, he reminds me to know the Word is great but to live by the Word is a divine challenge that MUST be met. All this along with what I know of his personal life as well, his reported anger issues and his true conversion coming only after facing death also draws me to him. St. John the Apostle: Much like St. Vincent de Paul, is known for charity, but more than that he is the closest to Christ. The one to not leave the Lord’s side in the time of his passion, the one to be shown Revelation, the one never stop spreading the word yet was spared a brutal death. My love for St. John is not as deeply personal as the previous three saints, but he is certainly a man to closely emulate and be inspired by. St. Valentine: Almost a culmination of all these things. Love, as the first epistle of John tells us many times, is God. Love of one’s family, those entrusted in your care, as St. Joseph. Love of the less fortunate, those in need of God’s grace to be given through you, as St. Vincent. Love of all of God’s children, to face what you may in order to spread the Word, as St. Paul. Of course, love of the Lord Himself, as St. John the Apostle. In addition, St. Valentine faced a test of his faith numerous times and continually strove to do good works in the name of Christ; healings, marrying Christians in pagan land, and ultimately paid with his life in an effort to convert his captor.

[@hl1377]

St Margaret Mary Alacoque, St Bernadette, St Anthony of Padua, St Isidore of Seville, St Teresa of Avila

[@annaujero3642]

St. Benedict, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Pio, St. Bernadette, and, St. Anne who I was named after

[@adavila9534]

Very nice

[@malgrosskreuz01]

St. Therese of Lisieux is my confirmation saint and I'd say Fulton Sheen is my holy crush

[@valeriescolarici270]

The energy in this episode was high🙌 I could relate to Dellacrosse when he touched on how he later in life dove deeper into his faith and in doing so, was able to re-examine his catholic upbringing. This show brings me joy. Thanks again, your biggest fan🙏 St. Isidore of Seville St. Clare St. Bridget St. Nicholas St. Dorothy

[@anthonyswierzbinski2945]

One of my favorite episodes yet! My starting 5: St. Anthony of Padua, St. Joseph, St. Peter, St. Augustine, and St. Ignatius of Loyola with Mother Mary as "Coach"

[@eneal2056]

Great "starting lineup". You're sure to "win the race" with them on your team!

[@cmclovesnkotb]

St. Maria Goretti is my favorite and has been since I was in middle school. I was so excited to hear you talk about her!

[@carolynbendzynski1764]

I love St Monica!

[@carolynbendzynski1764]

@KEENAN LAD and I have my own Augustine, my son. She taught me that constant prayer is the best thing I can do for him.

[@DirectionalFaith]

St. Ignatius of Loyola because I love the practical spirituality that he teaches. We can all learn to be closer to God and discern His will, and Ignatius laid it out in a process anyone can follow.

[@XX-gy7ue]

I REALLY LOVE THEM ALL , A LOT ! they're all such individuals , with such a flare for THE SPECTACULAR !

[@eneal2056]

"Spectacular" is a great word for them. They all "did something beautiful for God" as Mother Teresa was fond of saying.

[@rolandmartinez613]

St Athanasius is my patron saint! He is awesome!!!

[@rolandmartinez613]

Because of his fighting against heresies and for the truth! He inspires me so much to evangelize and fight against heresies today and bring others to the truth.

[@yousif4785]

St sharbel of maklouf is a big one for me, he is an icon in the middle east

[@RoseBaggins]

I have always had a devotion to Our Lady, and St. Rose of Lima is my confirmation saint, because of her gentle kindness and because I have always liked roses. My fab five would have to be St. Agnes, St. Dominic de Guzman, St. Dominic Savior, St. Anthony of Padua, and St. Therese of Lisieux.

[@johsiantorres8495]

Saint Mary will always be my Queen.

[@peytonk8015]

I would love to hear your testimonies and how you all met and came up with this show!! You all are so inspiring! Thank you for pursuing this wonderful show. God bless you all

[@brianwinters9995]

St. Joseph of Cupertino. St. Francis de Sales. St. Gemma Galgani. St. Pius X.

[@Eisenfaust-nt9pf]

Should look at St. Peter Canisius

[@Cdmxforever]

My favorite saint is San Felipe de Jesus. He was crucified in Japan when preaching The word of our Lord. San Felipe de Jesus Pray for us! 🙏🏻✝️🇲🇽

[@iriannatorres2651]

She not a saint (yet) but mother Angelica founder of EWTN has changed my life ♥️

[@diannetaylor7288]

Pray for her to become recognized as a Saint

[@eneal2056]

St. Joseph, St. Jude and St. Padre Pio are such awesome intercessors that I never lack for anything in life that I need. Our Lady is paramount in my life, of course, but she is not merely a saint but my Mother.

[@matthewbroderick8756]

Saint Joseph and Mother Mary, the blessed Virgin, but also, Saint Philomena and Saint Damien of Molakai. So inspiring! God bless you!

[@robinscaramella6091]

My all time favorite saint is St Rita, then St Anthony, St Francis of Assisi.

[@theresajita8240]

Hi Robin, my favourite saints is also St.Rita, St Therese the little flowers, St Bernadette . Pray that these saints will take of us on earth. Do pray for saints also. God bless us. ..amen..

[@Smorgizborgerz]

I love Saint Rita and Saint Anthony as well! Saint Rita is my patron saint :) she’s awesome!

[@robinscaramella6091]

Abby Tvrdy St Rita is my girl! She’s great, isn’t she?

[@paullukasik8698]

St. Rita of Cascia, awesome Saint, bore a stigmata mark on her forehead.

[@EnchTikiRm]

St. Francis de Sales, St. Cecilia, St. Pio, St. Luke, St. James

[@BindingTheYoke]

St Francis Assisi for his devotion and love of God. (My confirmation Namesake) St. Padre Pio for his long suffering St. Thomas Aquinas for his articulation of wisdom without arrogance St. Teresa of Calcutta for her love in action St. Teresa of Avila for abandonment to God. So many others as well but, primarily the Blessed Mother and St Joseph are my first go to saints, they replace my absent earthly parents, St Joseph for his paternal purity and protection,..it was the blessed mother that interceded in my conversion, so I think she took pity on me for the violence and abandonment of my own mother toward me as a toddler.. and has helped me learn to trust as an adult.

[@patriciahoffman5140]

Always entertaining.

[@anthonygamblin5023]

St. Augustine, St. Polycarp, St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Paul, and St. Anthony of Egypt are my favorites.

[@mariemalone6522]

My Patron Saint St Therese of Lisieux, St Francis Xavier, Michael the Archangel, St Catherine of Siena (legacy of my Dominican education) and hopefully soon to be canonised Blessed John Sullivan, a Jesuit and convert to Catholicism. Born just a few minutes from my home place in Dublin his remains are interred in my Parish Church of St Francis Xavier, Gardiner St close to his birthplace.

[@lvlc5]

Blessed is she had a workshop about identifying your tribe... your tribe of saints for different situation stages in life etc. I loved it.

[@Jessica-os8tc]

My top 5 favorite saints: St Maria Faustina, St Dymphna, St Joan of Arc, St Thomas Aquinas, St Augustine 💕

[@tererunai]

Great episode! Maybe you could talk about one or two saints every now and then, maybe once a month? :-) I have a lot of favorite saints but the five off the top of my head: St Joseph (he’s a great head of the family and is so persevering) St Padre Pio (he helped me pray to our lady and to God lots of times) St Dominic (I’m a lay Dominican and i was born on August 8) St Benedict (i studied in a Benedictine school and i call to him to help me pray when I’m surrounded by temptations) St Peter of Cebu (I’m a catechist and so is he)

[@mrsgreenacres]

Confirmation saints are not a thing, as far as I know, in the French-Canadian culture. My husband looked at me like I had two heads when I said this. That said, people in the generations before me all had Marie or Joseph as part of their names (mine is one of my middle names). I had never really thought about it that much, but ever since I learned about St. Lucy a few years back (when we started incorporating the Scandinavian tradition of St. Lucia during Advent), the whole idea of sharing your light to the world has really resonated with me so she's at the forefront of my mind these days.

[@albertoascari2542]

I have prayed many times for these saints Prayers and they sure work hard for me. St Anthony of Padua, Saint Francis of Assisi, St Margaret of Cortona St Pio, St Alfonse Ligouri,, St Bernadette, St Theresa of Calcutta. I tryed many times the Blessed Oscar Romero, Blessed John Henry Newman, St Jean Paul the 2nd, the unbeatified Father Slavko Barbaric also unbeatified Father Rookey, Father Jimmy Collins etc. The list of Saints is very big along with those up or neading Beatification, the Saintly Consecrated Nuns and Priests who performed Jesus's Miracles many times over when alive

[@rekeinserah]

Finally someone recognizes Margaret of Cortona. Shes obscure but so wonderful. I chose her as my confirmation saint because of how inconveinient it is for someome to know of her.

[@bigred3257]

My Favorite saints are St Francis and St Teresa of Avila.

[@eneal2056]

I love St. Teresa of Avila, a wonderful role model for women today. KZbin has her writings read out loud and I am about halfway through her autobiography. It's so relevant that it could have been written yesterday!

[@albertbenedictsolimanosa5552]

I've always been enamored with the example of the MARTYRS, especially Sts. Lorenzo Ruiz (our first Filipino saint), Magdalene of Nagasaki, Andrew Kim Taegon, Theopane Venard and Bl. Peter of Zuñiga (Augustinian missionary in my home province of Pampanga), and their companion martyrs in the Far East. But as to devotions, I've always had Sts. Joseph, John Vianney, Monica and Augustine, and Benedict. As to the Virgin Mary, I have the Rosary and her titles as Our Lady of the Candles, Mother of Perpetual Help and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

[@eneal2056]

I love the Mexican martyr Fr. Miguel Pro who was executed by firing squad in 1927. He refused the blindfold, held his hands up in the sign of the Cross and said “Viva Cristo Rey!” (“Long live Christ the King!”) before being shot.

[@DJNLdabest]

St. Joseph, St. Paul the Apostle, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Pius V, St. John Bosco, St. John Vianney, St. Maria Goretti, St. Josemaria Escriva, and St. John XXIII.

[@kayla.rekstis]

Saint Pope John Paul the Great - he brought me back into the Catholic faith and all of it’s beauty. St. Kateri - I have felt a pull towards her since 5/6th grade, I recently entrusted my life in all aspects of ministry to her intercession. Her deep faith, abiding love for Christ, and her prayers for the conversion of her fellow Natives are all inspirational. St. Bernadette - I believe she, along with JP2, led me to make my consecration to Jesus through Mary...on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes (found out later that I was baptized on this feast day & my baptismal rosary is in honor of Lourdes). St. Faustina - Divine Mercy has been integral to my healing, as well as realizing God’s true nature and embracing my identity in that truth. St. Jospeh - His humility and example in work have been huge for me, I just made my consecration to him on May 1st.

[@Horroractress]

Mine is Genesius of Rome for acting and Saint Margaret of Scotland for large families. ✝️🙏🏾

[@soniagakuru]

My favourite saints are St. Francis, St. Padre Pio, St. Pope John Paul the 2nd, the Ugandan Martyrs and Blessed Anuarite.

The Ugandan martyrs were so incredible in their love for Christ and the Catholic Faith. As an African American convert, hey have been an inspiration for me my whole Catholic life.

[@soniagakuru]

Where’s the love for the Old Testament Saints?!

[@suziehorn9700]

I love St John Paul II. I went to Des Moines with my high school when he first came to the US in 1980 I think. Also when he was in St Louis in 1998. My confirmation saint is St Helen --she found the cross and prayed for the conversion of St Constantine. And since Fr Pagano mentioned Archbishop Sheen I will mention Servant of God Fr Emil Emil Kapaun. He was martyred in a Korean POW camp. I share his birthday and went to Kapaun Mt Carmel HS in Wichita.

St. Katherine of Alexandria. I picked her for my confirmation saint in memory of my maternal grandmother, then in university I started to research her more and found strength and stability when I needed it. Also Saint Pope John Paul II because I was a child and youth while he was Pope.
