OnlySunshine Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 [b]St Elizabeth of the Visitation[/b]--most favorite saint! I love her because of her intense humility and faith. [b]St. Elizabeth of Hungary[/b]--anytime a noble gives of themselves to the poor, they have my respect. She is so beautiful! [b]St. Anne and St. Joachim[/b]--parents of Our Lady; very little is known about them, even their names are not agreed upon, but I took Anne as my confirmation saint since their feast day is on my birthday. [b]St. Mary Magdelene de Pazzi[/b]--even though God gave her mystical visions, she was very humble and considered herself to be the lowest of God's people [b]St. Gemma Galgani[/b]--she is absolutely charming in every way; I admire her for her life and it reminds me of Our Lady's [b]St. Teresa of the Andes[/b]--sweet little Carmelite saint [b]St. Veronica[/b]--the humble woman who wiped the face of Jesus even though the soldiers showed her contempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 I love St. Isidore the Farmer... [quote] [font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica][size=2]Isidore frequented Holy Mass every morning but often reported to work late. Late, though he was, his plowing was nevertheless accomplished by angels that resulted in three times more productivity. His coworkers and his boss witnessed such miraculous events and accorded Isidore with great respect.[/size][/font][font=Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica][size=2][/quote] [/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargaretTeresa Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Oh! I forgot St. Genevieve! [quote][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]By age 15, Genevieve was a nun. When her hometown of Paris was under siege by Childeric, King of the Franks, she risked her own safety to go into the city to find food and supplies for the suffering. Years later, she faced another dangerous conqueror -- Attila the Hun. As Parisians prepared to leave their homes rather than face the wrath of the barbarians, Genevieve convinced them to stay in their homes and pray instead. Today, it is still unknown why Attila the Hun didn't attack Paris. Genevieve died in a.d. 500.[/size][/font][/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenDeMaria Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I must confess it bothers me a twee bit that Jesus' own grandparents are being listed as lesser known saints.
