Mine is Saint Terese. I chose her as my Confirmation saint because of her way of living for Jesus in every moment and task no matter how small. I pray that I will remember to give half as much of my daily life to Jesus. I also admire St. Josemaria Escriva who as a priest made it his life's ambition to let ordinary people know that they too can become saints by living their life according to God's Will.

Augustine of Hippo, who is the third most influential man in Christian history after Jesus and Paul. His book, The City Of God, opened my eyes to the fact that Christianity is a faith of both the heart and the mind. Meaning, our intellects are just as involved in our faith as our hearts.
He's writing are deep and in spite he's faults he was a man who sincerely sought to do God's will.

Apart from the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, I assume. Well, I personally am very fond of the Curé of Ars, St. John Mary Vianney. This is because I think that he is truly a wonderful model of what a priest should be. A man of prayer, centred around the Holy Eucharist (Holy Mass). Also a man of compassion, with a strong sense of the evil of sin but also of the frailty of man, and hence the need for Mercy. Also, there is the fact that I will be soon studying for the priesthood, so I personally take him as a role model for my life. He is maybe not very imitable, but if we live in the spirit of St. John Mary Vianney, then I think that we are definitely on the path to holiness.
The Devil even told him once: "If there were only three people on earth like you, then I would be definitively vanquished". That is a pretty strong testimony to the holiness of this great saint!
Of course, I love all the saints though. My number two would probably be St. Francis of Assisi. What about you, what is your favourite saint?

St. Maria Faustina.
It was difficult time in my live. I was walking like half dyed. I don't remember how did i find the site with her diary. About 5 months I was reading it, yes it's something... I could understand her quite enough. Later in my dream it was like some nun gave me the key. And then I'm sitting in the garden praying. I tell you there was not so many people I'd like to see. She encourage me a lot still.

Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain. These are a few of the Ten Commandments. It's appointed unto man once to die, then judgment. When you die God will judge you by His Ten Commandments. You will be guilty, and if you are guilty, you will be sent to Hell. Jesus came to die on a cross and rise again to pay the debt for your sins, If you Repent, which means to ask forgiveness and turn from your sins, and put your Trust in Jesus Christ, you will be accepted into Heaven. This is the only way.

St John Vianney....because he has this perserverance in doing good and willingness to serve to people even if he had no education.

I do not have a favorite saint, nor do I believe in the deification of any human being.

A Saint is a born again child of God.
Stop believing Catholic fairy tales and read your Bible.
