ME. THE BIBLE SAYS ALL BELIEVERS ARE SAINTS.
p.s. I am not Catholic and do not believe in their Sainthood thing. They are (were) people and NOT better than us.

My patron saint, St. Camillus, was a street fighter. He was also a gambling addict. He became a soldier, and after fighting in a war, got a wound that wouldn't heal right. He also lost everything he had to gambling. But he eventually became religious, and ended up helping build many hospitals and taking care of the poor. He was a healer. He's a great example of someone who allowed God to completely turn his life around.

st.michael it is said that st.Michael protects you form evil. And the bible says he defeated Satan in battle and, Satan was forced to leave the paradise. Sounds pretty cool eh? But when I feel as if I was about to be bullied or jumped or picked on at school I ask for protection and it works when I ignore my lazyness and put faith into it. A manage to ran from the gangsters in the hood belived to be guided by st.Michael.

I really like John (the Apostle). He was a true friend of Jesus. He loved Him dearly. Moreover, he wrote a couple of great books like the gospel of John and the book of Revelation. John's mystical style of writing really speaks to me on many levels. I would recommend his take on the Person of Christ to anyone.
Blessings,
Jack

St. Francis of Assisi, because he protects the animals that keep us company.
