Brad tags me for this meme:<\/p>\n

The assigned task is to list my four favorite saints, one favorite blessed, and one person I think should have been a saint. Here goes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Four favorite saints: St Joseph, St Therese of Lisieux, St Benedict, St Elizabeth Ann Seton.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Favorite Blessed: Bl. Teresa of Calcutta<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

The last category is ambiguous. Am I putting down a person I wish would be a saint and isn\u2019t? That list would be pretty long. Am I putting down a holy person who I think was a saint even though that person will not be recognized by the church formally? That\u2019s tough because I think that person really is a saint anyway\u2013even if the Church hasn\u2019t formally recognized her. So am I putting down a person who I rather like, even though that person isn\u2019t really a saint? Then it\u2019s just popularity and not judgement on sanctity.<\/p>\n

OK. I\u2019m going to go with a non-Catholic who I think was very saintly, and who (if he was Catholic just might have made it on to the lists) It\u2019s the 17th century English poet George Herbert.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

If he\u2019s not allowed it\u2019s Julian of Norwich<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
