Which Saints should I write about next?

[BCRanger10]

Last year on November 1st, which is the Feast of All Saints, I published a MyTake called Saints For Our Time. It was a list of ten Saints recognized by the Church who are most relevant to our times today because of the issues they dealt with. There were others I'd wanted to include, but the list would have been too long. So whom should I write about next? What other issues are we facing today that might have a Saint associated with them?

The Saints, their patronage, and the issues I wrote about last time were...

• Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus - Those seeking employment
• Ignatius of Loyola - Soldiers and educators; found his calling later in life
• Mark Ji Tianxiang - Those struggling with drug addiction
• Elizabeth Ann Seton - Widows and those struggling with depression and... self-harm, let's say...
• Maria Goretti - Victims of rape and sexual assault
• Germaine Cousin - Victims of child abuse
• Rose Philippine Duchesne - Perseverance amid adversity
• Rose of Lima - Against vanity, resolution of family struggles
• Thomas More - Lawyers, politicians, and troubled marriages
• Pier Giorgio Frassati - Catholic Action, against political polarization (arguably, at least)

If I were to write another MyTake about the subject, what would you be interested in seeing?

I'd love to read about Saint Dymphna and her connection to mental health, especially with so many people struggling silently with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues today. I think Saint Josephine Bakhita would also be worth writing about because of her life after slavery and her connection to the fight against human trafficking and exploitation.

You could also explore Saint Maximilian Kolbe and the courage to sacrifice for others, or Saint Francis of Assisi and how his example relates to environmental problems and our responsibility to care for creation.

That's why I wrote about Seton. There is also apparently doubt as to whether Dymphna really existed, so that's why I did not include her.

I will note and research Josephine Bakhita though. I know of her, just not finer details.

Kolbe... maybe.

Francis of Assisi? I'd considered him but more for his rejection of his riches and seeing a connection (pun not intended) to a need to "unplug" from electronics, social media, and trying to live more dependently on grace and simplicity. The environmental stuff? Eh... I'm skeptical of that part of his story, and apparently so is the Church.

Thank you for the suggestions though.

The Bible says all believers in Christ are saints not dead people and Jesus said the way to his father is through him not dead people. That’s what I think of the Catholic Churches saints just useless dead people

Saint Augustine, Saint Moses the Black, Saint Isaac the Syrian, Saint Lawrence, Saint Hubert. I like these personally. St. Therese of Lisieux is a favorite of mine too

[BCRanger10]

I've considered Augustine. I've read about Moses the Black before, but it's been at least ten years.

You're the second person to request Therese of Lisieux. Not that I don't want to, but why do you think I should include her?

[RepleteAura]

I think her Little Way is a great expression of Charity

[Grond21]

St Therese seems like a great option. Her little way is freeing.
