UPDATED: Thanks for the suggestions via email…

The Sacred Heart of Jesus  / Infant of Prague / Our Lady of Guadalupe/ Saint Joseph…. of course!

I was thinking of the following, about whom I have much to write and who have special significance for my life as a hermit, not in particular order, though my guardian angel must be first:

• My guardian angel!
• The Holy Souls in Purgatory
• Benedict
• Benoît-Joseph Labré
• Catherine of Siena
• Rita
• Bernadette (Marie-Bernarde Soubirous)
• Ignatius
• Thomas Aquinas
• John the Baptist
• John the Evangelist
• Saints in the Roman Canon
• Mary of Magdala
• John of Nepomuk
• Jean-Marie Vianney
• Philomena
• Jerome
• Damasus I
• Paul the Hermit
• Anthony of the Desert
• Robert Bellarmine
• Aloysius Gonzaga
• Pius X
• Pius di Pietrelcina
• George!
• David
• Elijah
• Lawrence
• Romanus
• Mary MacKillop
• Giovanni Bosco
• Domenico Savio
• Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort
• Francis
• John of the Cross
• Teresa of Avila
• Thérèse of Lisieux
• Gianna Beretta Molla
• Maximilian Kolbe
• Saint Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton

And some of the beatified:

• Pius IX
• John Paul II
• Jacinta and Francisco Marto
• Elizabeth of the Trinity
• Mary of Jesus Crucified
• Teresa of Calcutta
• Charles Eugène de Foucauld

And there are others I might ask to intercede for me from time to time, though they are not canonized or beatified:

• Sixtus V
• Leo XIII
• Pius XII
• Padre Dolindo Ruotolo
• Lúcia de Jesus dos Santos
• [!] Alexamenos [!]
• Mother Mary of Saint Peter (Marie Adele Garnier), foundress of the Adorers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Montmartre, known popularly as the great Tyburn Nuns.

Any suggestions?
