Who is your favorite Catholic Saint?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Any of you who really know me know that I have a deep devotion to the Virgin Mary and St Therese of Lisieux (The Little Flower). I also have devotions to St Thomas Aquinas, St Francis, St Teresa of Avila, St John of the Cross, ST Fracis De Sales and especially St Louis Marie De Montfort.

Happy All Saints Day!!! :party:

[eataTREE]

13. St. Wilgefortis, the original bearded lady.

Her feast day is July 20th.

Her father wanted to marry her off even though she had taken a vow of virginity. So, through prayer, she grew a miraculous beard and moustache, which caused her would-be suitor to lose interest.

She figures in the Canadian novelist Robertson Davies' Deptford Trilogy.

More information on St. Wilgefortis, aka St. Uncumber, is here.

I recently read The Rebel Angels. I love The Cunning Man.

She's also the patron saint of infertile women, so I've been praying to her for a long time.

22. St. Alfonzo!!!

Yes indeed, here we are!
At Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast
Where I stole the mar-juh-reen
An' widdled on the Bingo Cards in lieu of the latrine
I saw a handsome parish lady
Make her entrance like a queen
Why she was totally chenille
And her old man was a Marine
As she abused a sausage pattie
And said why don't you treat me mean?
(Hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, oooooh!)
At Saint Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast
(Hah! Good God! Get off the bus!)
Where I stole the mar-juh-reen . . .

Father vyvian o?blivion
Resplendent in his frock
Was whipping up the batter
For the pancakes of his flock
He was looking rather bleary
He forgot to watch the clock

But the night before
Behind the door
A leprechaun had stroked it

But the night before
Behind the door
A leprechaun had slowly storked it
He slowly stroked it

But the night before
Behind the door
A leprechaun had stroked his spot
He stroked his spot

It set him off in such a frenzy
He sang "lock around the crock!"

And he topped it off with a ...
And he topped it off with a ...
And he topped it off with a ...

Oo ooo ooo
Oo ooo ooo
Oo ooo ooo

As he stumbled on his ...
He was delighted as it stiffened
And ripped right through his sock

"oh st. alfonzo would be proud of me"
He shouted down the block

Domine vobiscum
Et cum spiritu tuo
Don?t you eat my sleazy pancakes
Just for saintly alphonzo

They?re so light and fluffy white
We?ll raise a fortune by tonight
They?re so light and fluffy white
We?ll raise a fortune by tonight
They?re so light and fluffy brown
They?re the finest in the town
They?re so light and fluffy brown
They?re the finest in the town

Good morning your highness
Oo oo ooo
Good gosh, you?re sumptuous

27. St. Cecilia

[redqueen]

28. St. Germaine Cousin

O8)

[Kiteflyer]

29. Mother...

Theresa.

She is a Saint, ain't she?
Should it be Saint Mother Theresa?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

31. I think his name is St. Francis...

The patron saint of animals.
Duckie

[LibLabUK]

32. Hmm..

St John Baptiste de la Salle - Patron saint of teachers. He revolutionised teaching by emphasising that teaching should be classroom-based as opposed to individual tuition and it should be in the local language and not Latin. These ideas opened up education to the masses.

And

St Maximillian Kolbe - A Polish Franciscan who gave his life to save another man at Auschwitz. I learnt his story at school when I was 11 and it's stuck with me ever since as an example of man's capacity for goodness in the face of pure evil.

[frylock]

33. st. isidore de seville - patron saint of the internet..

I have a glow-in-the-dark statuette of my man sitting up on my router.
