Nov. 1, Feast of All Saints -- Tell everyone your favorite saint(s).

[DemBones DemBones]

Mine are St. Francis, for his love of nature as well as mankind;

St. Teresa of Avila because she was a great mystic and a strong woman who founded a new religious order;

St. Catherine of Siena because she also was a great mystic and a strong woman who convinced the pope he needed to quit living in Avignon and go back to Rome.

Appropriately, St. Teresa and St. Catherine were the first women to be named Doctors of the Church. St. Catherine and St. Francis both received the stigmata, while St. Teresa had her side pierced with a burning lance by an angel, as the Roman centurion pierced Jesus's side after He had died on the cross.

Another great saint is St. Anthony of Padua. I call on him a lot to help me find things I've lost. ;-)
