    I’ve begged God for friends because I’m so lonely in my faith, and He’s blessed me with an abundance of saints to fill that hole. St Teresa of Avila is absolutely MY saint, she’s my best friend. But St Joseph, St Anthony of Padua, St Patrick, Padre Pio, Joan of Arc, so many others have also played such special rolls in my journey of faith. 🙏💕

    My favorite saint is John the Baptist. When I was younger I found him rather frightening because he was so radical and ascetic, somehow wild. But growing older I admire him for being unconditionally loyal to the truth, faithful until death.

    Father, this is how I feel about St. Therese the Little Flower! I didn’t pick her, she picked me. I don’t really resignate with her story like I do with other saints, but she has made it clear that she wants to be best friends with me lol. On her feast day 2 Sundays ago, I smelt roses at mass (none of my family members had smelt it).This is the second time this happened to me. I also feel very close to Blessed Father Michael McGivney and Father Solanus Casey, my Irish saints.
    I feel so sad for our Protestant brothers and sisters who reject the saints; saints are like our best friends who help us get closer to God. God bless you

    • @oldsoul4762
      @oldsoul4762 Před 9 měsíci

      I feel like St.Therese chose me too. I 'met' her in my mid twenties and wasn't Catholic. She sent me a rose when I asked her and I was lonely and in tears. My first introduction to her was a little novena booklet I had with a small biography of her life. I related to her so much.
      I chose her for my Confirmation Saint. She has been with me since. Loving and Faithful.
      Take care my sister. 🌹🌹

    St Padre Pio. Definitely St Padre Pio for me.
    Thanks to St Padre Pio's prayers for me, I managed to win the $1000 prize at bingo and was able to buy a large statue of him. Also, his intercession helped me leave the SSPX. Quite a few other things too he's helped me with that i can't thank him enough for.
    St Padre Pio has brought me much closer to Our Lord. Deo gratias 🙏

    It's like Fr. Benedict is teaming up with St. Joseph on some house grace shenanigans! I've got a story too. I had to sell a house in a hurry once, and just when I thought things couldn't get worse, daily downpours were turning the basement into a mini-lake. So, I turned to St. Joseph with a novena, and guess what? The very next day, a buyer strolled in, unfazed by our new indoor pool, and snapped up the house! 🏡🙏✨

    I just found your video in CZcams. Amazing. I always believed in miracles: but this is a small one. Tonight I downloaded an app so that I can 'pray better'. And I started reading about St Fr Pio. But the Saint of the day was not just the sainted Father. Must have been at least 20 other saints/blessed! I don't know why I decided to watch CZcams instead of my nightly prayers. But your video came from nowhere onto my feed. No, I don't believe in coincidences; I believe that Jesus needed me to see and hear your talk about saints. Now I'm a fan! The road ahead is rocky; everyday brings a new challenge that comes my way. But I don't give up. Thank you

    I actually did find my saints thanks to Fr. Carlos Martins’ relics show! St. Ignatius of Loyola, St.?Benedict, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Jerome, St. Maria Goretti, St. Bridget of Sweden, my patron saint, St. Peter! Omg St. Peter, he’s watching out for me. I have the ability to sense things, it’s weird. But a lot of the relics I encountered “told” me things. St. Peter “told” me he and all the apostles pray for all Christians to God. I thought that was beautiful. And Jesus’s relic made me fall back.
    Anyway, actually a lot of saints reached out to me, not just the ones I mentioned. They really love us y’all. They all love and want the best for us. I really sensed the apostles’ love for us, especially. They are our friends and want us in heaven too. I got that much from Peter even when I went to visit his tomb at the Vatican. Him and the sons of thunder are very dear to me!

    I love St. Thomas Aquinas for many reasons. One reason is that he was afraid of lightning (for a completely understandable reason). I think it’s so endearing the way he would always pray so gently to the Lord in a church until the storm passed. I’m afraid of lightning too, and it’s comforting to ask his intercession and to pray with him during a scary storm.

    As a side note. Could Fr. Columba do a video about what a person should do if they don't have a church (either by location or not worthy) to attend for mass and receiving the eucharist? Thanks again Fr. Columba and Called to More for being such wonderful examples to imitate.

I met him in my religion class when the priest was reading us a book of "new flowers" - stories as if St. Francis was alive today, what he would be saying to us, people of 20th century if he was walking on the earth. We have been close friends for almost 55 years.

    For me, the "miracle worker" is Mary. Who is of course the "no 1" saint. Many less spectacular things, true, but one big, which was my conversion in a miraculous way and I won't forget that. It's the most important thing.
    And I recognize that St. Joseph protects and cares for our family a lot, but it's not that visible, he's humble and does it "in the background" :)
    I do have currently two "favorite" saints, St. Therese of Lisieux and St. Maria Goretti. I see St. Therese's intercession on my daughter, she is also her patron. St. Maria Goretti, let's see if she'll want to do something big for us, there are things we need :)

    Fr. Columba, I need to tell you, without being too lengthy, that my daughter and grandchild were being kicked out of their house. I told her to come move home, but because of certain circumstances and past experience, I KNEW she would not.
    I wished there was a novena to Fr. Groeschel, but since there isn't, I pulled up his old rosaries from CZcams and began a Fr. Groeschel rosary novena. I started it on Sunday and she contacted me the very next day and asked if she could come home!! I was blown away. Glory to God, and thanks to Fr. Groeschel (and to you)!

    Fr. Columba I'm so very desperate to find a house I will pray to Fr. Groeschel. I humbly hope he will hear my prayer. For everyone else I just found Fr. Benedict Groeschel wrote books "The Rosary Chain of Hope" and "Praying in the Presence of Our Lord: Eucharistic Adoration" There's others too, on Amazon. Thank you Fr. Columba, yet again your videos give us hope in all sorts of different ways in the loving presence of our Lord, especially if we don't think or feel we deserve it.

    You’ve just made me cry because I’m feeling sorry for myself and I think I’m trying too hard to please everyone and forgetting about asking the saints for help. I started reading St Faustina’s diary during lockdown but didn’t finish it so thank you! listening to this I guess I’d better get back into it. Thank you Fr Columba you’re the best! 🙏🏼📿🙂

    St. Anthony found me! I don’t know why he picked me, but he has blessed me many times!

    I, too, am grateful for St. FAUSTINA and I believe this video is an answer to my prayers yesterday for confirmation of her continued influence in my earthly pilgrimage.
