Who are your favorite saints and why?

Question

This is including all biblical people not just saints.
Another side note question. Is Moses concidered a saint

Answer 1

Moses is considered a prophet.

I like St. Francis of Assisi, I think he was the musical one! Or at least a lot of his writings became hymns.

Answer 2

Moses is not "officially" a saint - that is, he's not on the calendar of saints and does not have a feast day, nor has he ever been canonized. He is considered a saint though in that he is in heaven. In some Catholic countries, people speak of St Moses and St Elijah - this custom is not so common in America. There is a church of St Moses (San Moise) in Venice Italy.

Answer 3

I would have to say I probably identify most with Peter because he reminds me so much of me. I want to do well and say, "Yes, Lord I'll always be there for you, I would never deny you," and then I turn around and do just that!!! Clay feet here, lol.

I admire Paul because of the way he completely reversed his decision not to persecute Christians. And I wish I could orate as well as he did.

I also admire Mother Theresa. A great, humble caring woman who did much good in the world.

I also like Saint Francis of Assisi. He said a lot of great things that make one stop and think like: Witness all you can, use words when you must.

Answer 4

A saint is ....one separated from the world and consecrated to God; one holy by profession and by covenant; a believer in Christ (Ps. 16:3; Rom. 1:7; 8:27; Phil. 1:1; Hebrews 6:10) In other words .... all who die saved by Christ are saints.

The "saints" spoken of in Jude 1:14 are probably not the disciples of Christ, but the "innumerable company of angels" (Hebrews 12:22; Ps. 68:17), with reference to Deut. 33:2.

This word is also used of the holy dead (Matt. 27:52; Rev. 18:24). It was not used as a distinctive title of the apostles and evangelists and of a "spiritual nobility" till the fourth century. In that sense it is not a scriptural title. This is a man made assumption, mostly catholic. One of the reasons I left the Catholic denomination.

Answer 5

St. Dymphna. She's the Irish saint who is the Patron Saint of the institutionalized insane.

Moses: Yes. The Eastern Orthodox certainly consider him one. There is a lot of "burning bush" emphasis in the iconography of the Orthodox faith.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I love St. Francis. He was full of gentle wisdom and could worship the Creator through cherishing the Creation. I think we should take a lesson and try to save this lovely planet from the rapacious who would ruin it.

Answer 10

I like Paul. He changed his life around and died for the sake of Cross. That comes from a man who wen to Damascus to destroy Christians.
