Saints Quiz: Which one are you? From Loyola Press

The saints are our spiritual companions. They pray for us from heaven, inspire us, and are our role models. Yet the saints were ordinary people just like us—at times proud, hot-tempered, at fault, and tempted by sin. Each saint decided to be holy by accepting God’s will. We, too, can be like the saints if we choose to respond to God’s calling.

Take this quiz to find a saint whose life resembles your own. You may learn something new; you may even find a new favorite saint to guide you on your spiritual journey.

Answer these questions as honestly as you can. If you think more than one applies to you, just try to pick the one that most applies to you.
