[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many amazing saints. I am always interested in finding new canonized saints to learn about. I love reading how these people followed in their life God’s will and how they can intercede for us in our prayers to God[/quote]

I was raised Catholic and didn't have a favorite saint.  I never could understand the need to have a saint intercede for me.  I went straight to the main man.[/quote]

I'm the person who said Mary Magdalene above.  I'm a convert to Catholicism, due to wanting to be the same denomination as my husband, and I don't ask official Catholic saints* to intercede for me.  I still love the fact that Jesus chose a woman to appear to first.  I love that she went out and followed him, just like the male apostles do.  I love that she wasn't perfect, and maybe had mental illness like my loved ones.  I can love her story without praying to her.

* While I don't pray to the official ones, I do talk to loved ones who have died.[/quote]
