Favorite saint?

Question

Who is everyone's favorite saint?

Nick Howard · Accepted Answer

I have several. My favorite saints often come from Patristics (i.e Church Fathers, etc.). I do enjoy the Church Fathers a lot. However, I have some outside of that era. -St. Michael the Archangel, my Confirmation saint and the patron of my TLM chapel.-St Pius X, destroyer of modernism. I think his warnings are very undermined and his Pascendi encyclical is a must read. -St. John Chrysostom (favorite Greek Father). I love his writings on the Jesus Prayer, being a priest, and his commentaries on Scripture. -St. Gregory the Great (favorite Latin Father). He made many contributions to the Roman Mass such as the codification of the Roman Canon and added the Pater Noster afterwards.-St. Spyridon the Wonderworker (favorite forgotten saint).  He is holding a brick because he proved the unity of the Trinity at the Council of Nicaea where he debated Arian philosophers by working a miracle with a brick. His relics are still incorrupt to this day. He is well known in Eastern Orthodoxy buy highly forgotten in the West.
