Who is your favorite saint?

Happy All Saints' Day! Who is *your* favorite saint? One of mine is definitely the Greek martyr Saint Philomena. Another is St. Therese, another is St. Francis de Sales. Father Michael Lee, in his book, Novena to St. Therese of Lisieux, published in 1941, offers this explanation of why we love to read about the saints:

"Could we but see ourselves as we really are, we would know ourselves, as after death we shall know ourselves, hungry and lonely and crying out for Beauty and for Love. That is why moral beauty as in a saint draws us so powerfully."
