Are you ready to guess the saints? by Angela Winchester https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw en-us 2018-07-17 22:32:44 UTC 2025-10-16 21:46:43 UTC hello@padlet.com 8. Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453419  
 I was about 10 years old when Mary appeared to me. I joined the Franciscans at 16 and was ordained at 24. Out of my love of God through Mary, I established the Militia of the Immaculata and the magazine, Knight of the Immaculata. I was known as Mary's knight because I would do anything for her. Who am I?  
 
I was arrested twice by the Germans for preaching about God. I was released after three months the first time, but I was sent to Auschwitz concentration camp the second time. While I was imprisoned, I continued to preach, listened to confessions, and even gave up my life for someone else. Who am I? 

I was born in Poland during Nazi Germany. As a child, I asked the Virgin Mary what was to become of me. Mary appeared to me with two crowns: one red for martyrdom and the other white for purity. I chose both. Who am I?

Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453675 My family and I lived in extreme poverty in Lourdes, France. One day while I was collecting firewood, a small lady dressed in white appeared to me. I had 17 other visions of the lady, who later identified herself as The Immaculate Conception and asked that a chapel be built in the grotto. Who am I?  
 
I had 18 visions of Our Lady of Lourdes. The civil authorities tried to frighten me into recanting or taking back what I had seen, but I remained faithful to the visions. I was sent to the Sisters of Charity of Notre Dame in Nevers where I became a member of the community. I died from tuberculosis at the age of 35, was later canonized by Pope Pius XI, and my body is incorrupt. Who am I?

Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453740 The Blessed Mother said she would be my mother when my own mother died when I was only nine years old.  I later joined the Daughters of Charity and lived as an ordinary nursing sister during the French Revolution. The Vincent communities and I were protected by the Blessed Mother just as she had promised 30 years ago when she first appeared to me. Who am I?  
 
In the 1830's when I was young, I received visions of the Blessed Mother. When she appeared to me a second time, there were rays of light coming from her hands and a globe under her feet. She requested that a medal of her be made, just as I had seen her. Who am I?

Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453818  I am a princess from a small Grecian state in the 4th century.  I lived during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who wanted to marry me, but I refused him because I had taken a vow of virginity. He attempted to have me killed several times. An anchor was placed around my neck, I was stripped and beaten, I was pierced by arrows, and I was finally beheaded. Who Am I? 
 
My heroic virtue is purity. Few people knew my story until I appeared to 3 different people around the world and told them of my martyrdom at the young age of 12 or 13. Those who pray for my intercession have been blessed in many ways: the blind see, the deaf hear, the cripple walk, and expectant mothers have healthy babies. My remains were found in 1802 in the ancient Roman catacombs of St. Priscilla. Who am I?

Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453852 My heroic virtues are poverty and piety because I gave all my money to children who were poor. I lowered the age of First Communion from age 12 to 7, and I brought 10,000 children to Rome to be adopted while I was Pope. I am the Patron Saint of Children.
 
I was a humble farm boy from Italy. I wanted to remain a simple parish priest, but my superiors realized my talents. It wasn’t long before I was named Archbishop, and then, three days later, I became Cardinal. Eventually, I was elected Pope even though I didn’t think I was worthy of being Pope.  Who am I?

Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453884 I lived in the second half of the 1600’s near what is now Auriesville, New York.  I was scarred by small pox as a child, converted to the faith as a teenager, and remained unmarried to the great displeasure of my uncle.  I was devoted to Jesus crucified and the Eucharist. I was beatified by Pope John Paul II.  I am the first Native American to be beatified. ]]> 2018-07-17 23:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453884 3. Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453911 I lived in the United States into the mid-1900s.  Born wealthy, my heart went out to Native-American and African American children, who lived in poverty with limited opportunity for education.  As a consecrated religious sister, I spent most of my fortune opening schools for these dear children. 
 
I was born and died in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As a child, I had a special affinity/love for the poor. My very wealthy parents died when I was young, and I used the fortune I inherited to open 63 schools and 49 convents. I am the first native-born U.S. citizen to be canonized.

Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453949 I was born in Lombardy, Italy, in the mid-1800s, and I knew I wanted to be a missionary. I wanted to go to the Far East to bring Christ to those who know nothing about him; but the Pope told me I that I was needed in the United States.  I obeyed the Pope and went to America. I opened many schools and convents where I was dedicated to teaching the children of Italian immigrants. I am the first naturalized US Citizen to become a saint. ]]> 2018-07-17 23:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453949 1. Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453973 I am the founder of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits.  I founded the order to support and defend the papacy. I grew up in my family’s castle in Spain in the early part of the 16th century. I became a hermit and dedicated my life to the practice of spiritual exercises including hours of prayer, meditations and periods of silence. I became quite a theologian and wrote many books. My most famous work is entitled, “Spiritual Exercises.”  ]]> 2018-07-17 23:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/270453973 Word Bank options awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/405946899 A.

Who am I? awinchester1 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/665111020 I was born in Lima, Peru on December 9, 1579. At a young age, my father abandoned the family leaving me to grow up in deep poverty. As I grew older, I experienced a great deal of ridicule for being of mixed-race. In Peru, by law, all descendants of African or Indians were not allowed to become full members of religious orders. After many years with the Holy Rosary, I was granted the privilege to take my vows as a lay member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic by the prior Juan de Lorenzana who decided to disregard the law restricting me based on race. Assigned to work in the infirmary, I became known for encompassing the virtues needed to carefully and patiently care for the sick, even in the most difficult situations. I also founded an orphanage for abandoned children and slaves. I became great friends with both St. Juan Macías, a fellow Dominican lay brother, and St. Rose of Lima, a lay Dominican.                ]]> 2020-07-29 16:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/665111020 https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/767874916 2020-09-22 12:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/awinchester1/oz5dvp7fiebw/wish/767874916
