NovemberFourth Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi all, Just curious to find out which Causes for Canonization you support? I frequently pray for favours to be granted by the intercession of [url="http://www.johnbradburne.com/"]John Bradburne[/url] , [url="http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/TITUSLIF.HTM"]Blessed Titus Brandsma[/url], [url="http://www.piercedhearts.org/theology_heart/life_saints/bartolo_longo.htm"]Blessed Bartolo Longo[/url] and Mother Teresa of Calcutta. But I am always interested to hear about others, so wondered if you had any to share? N4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rev Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have a great admiration for Fulton Sheen. With the beatification of Blessed Chiara Badano, I have come to really admire her, as a witness to the young people of her charity for souls and her purity too. There are many more, but I can't recall all of their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They belong on my list, too. I really like Catherine McAuley. There was this book called [i]Courageous Catherine[/i] about a young Sister of Mercy who entered the order and went to America from Ireland. It was one of those elementary school Catholic books. It was wonderful. The description of Catherine McAuley was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithcecelia Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 [quote name='Chiquitunga' timestamp='1311885512' post='2277698'] Just ran into this .. [url="http://www.discalcedcarmel.com/vernoticia.php?Id=3185"]http://www.discalced...cia.php?Id=3185[/url] [/quote] Oh yay, yay, YAY!!!!!! i always think of her as a saint anyway, even though she isn't canonised yet, so this will be absolutely wonderful Her writings were the first of the Carmelite writings I really got on with - I found St Therese too saccharine and St Teresa (who is now by far my favourite) just too hard to get into. Whilst undoubtably a woman of her time, I find Elizabeth a far more approachable writer than many. I admire the way she faced the delay in entering Carmel, her honesty with her struggles and her very sensible decision that she would have returned to her mother had the community needed to flee due to the political situation. Oh I do hope this happens soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
