Behold Your Mother's Tears
Our Lady of Good Counsel
O Mary of Good Counsel, inflame the hearts of all who are devoted to you, so that all of them have shelter in you, O great Mother of God. O most worthy Lady, let everyone choose you as teacher and wise counselor of their souls, since you are, as Saint Augustine says, the counsel of the Apostles and counsel of all peoples. Amen+
O Mary, conceived without sin...
Pray for us who have recourse to thee!

Saint Joan of Arc
Virgin, visionary and reluctant leader of the French armies who went on to defeat England. She was martyred by burning. Joan of Arc is one of the most maligned saints in history.
Blessed Margaret Plantagenet Pole

Martyr for the sanctity of marriage, mother of the last Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury. Brutally murdered by King Henry VIII
St. Elizabeth of the Visitation
Cousin of the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of St. John the Baptist. Elizabeth was the first one Mary thought to go to after the Annunciation.
St. Elizabeth of Hungary
Medieval Queen & Saint, model of charity and an excellent example of how one can soar the heights of holiness despite worldly status, wealth and power. Wife and mother of 3, she suffered widowhood and subsequent destitution with patience.
St. Charles Borromeo
The "force" behind the council of Trent and a great defender of the Catholic Church. St. Charles lived a heroic and penitential life, boldly defending the Catholic faith against the errors of Luther. He died having spent his life and strength at the age of 45. St. Charles is incorrupt.
St. Winifred
Also St. Gwenfrewy or Winefride, she was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, Tyfid ap Eiludd. Her suitor, Caradog, was enraged when she decided to become a nun, and decapitated her. Her head rolled downhill, and, where it stopped, a healing spring appeared. Winefride's head was subsequently rejoined to her body due to the efforts of her maternal uncle, Saint Beuno, and she was restored to life. She later became a nun and abbess at Gwytherin in Denbighshire, and Caradog, cursed by St. Beuno, melted into the ground. She died 660.
St. Raphael
Great Archangel, one of the seven who stand before the throne of the Most High. Patron of doctors, nurses and travellers. Read about him in the book of Tobit.
St. Edmund, Martyr & St. Edward Confessor
Medieval Kings of Catholic England. Both are patron saints of England and the English monarchy, despite the fact that these holy men were boldly and singularly CATHOLIC, St. Edmund on the left having died for his faith, bravely calling the name Jesus as he was tortured. Both are excellent models of masculine strength coupled with great faith. I am a great admirer of them both.
St. Benedict
Founder of the great Benedictine order, founder of Western Monastacism, Abbott of Monte Cassino and namesake of our current Holy Father. St. Benedict designed the famous St. Benedict medal which is the most highly indulgenced sacramental of the church and a powerful weapon against evil. St. Benedict is especially powerful against the enemy at the hour of death.
St. Thomas More
Catholic Martyr of England, killed by King Henry VIII for refusing to sign the document which placed England in schism from Rome and making the King the head of the Church of England. Thomas More was a lawyer, a husband and loving father. You can see in this image at the wrists a small amount of white material? That is his hairshirt.
