It’s been a
long day! I have managed to get together
a list of the saints who I feel comfortable recommending to you as intercessors
for what I see are the most pressing problems today. I have already featured Sts. Gianna Molla and Joseph. Tonight, I simply don’t have the time or the
passion required of me to write about any of the others. But I think this is a good starting lineup
for our “Legion of Heavenly Heroes”.
Every effective hero group needs a battle cry. I like the tried and true battle cry when
asking for heavenly intercession….”Pray for Us!”
Here’s my
list:
| Abortion | Gianna Molla | ||||
| Euthanasia | Blessed Pope John Paul II | ||||
| Atheism | St. Thomas the Apostle | ||||
| Cancer | St. Peregrine | ||||
| AIDS | St. Marianne Cope | ||||
| The attack on sacramental marriage | St. Joseph | ||||
| The idolatry attached to technology | Gabriel the Archangel (God’s Messenger), the patron saint of telecommunication. | ||||
| Wars | St. Barbara and St. Michael the Archangel | ||||
| The attack on the priesthood | St. John Vianney | ||||
| Lack of respect for the dignity of the human person | St. Therese of Lisieux | ||||
| Poverty | Blessed Mother Teresa | ||||
| Injustice to immigrants | Frances Xavier Cabrini | ||||
| The assault on religious freedom and beliefs | St. Thomas More | ||||
| Addictions to drugs, alcohol, and pornography | St. Augustine | ||||
