Favourite saints

The Saints are presented to us as guides and models in Christian living and discipleship. Each of them have their own particular charism. Each can inspire us in a different aspect of Christian living. St John of the Cross is one of the great mystics who teaches us so much about prayer and the spiritual life. Perhaps you have a favourite saint, one who inspires you. Seek his or her help today in drawing you into a closer relationship with Jesus as you prepare to celebrate the day of his birth.
