Top 10 Female Saints

The Top Ten
Blessed Virgin Mary

Without her, we would not have our blessed savior, Jesus Christ. She told God she would do whatever He wanted, which is a big commitment.

Such a blessed and strong woman. No doubt the best saint of all time.

She is the one who gave birth to Christ, who saved us all.

What a wonderful woman. She had so much love to give and cared deeply for those living in poverty. I only hope that one day I could have just a fraction of the love in my heart that Mother Teresa had for the world. She is a true inspiration.

Her relevance today, especially in overcoming the temptations we all face, far outweighs that of bygone eras we cannot relate to.

Saint Catherine of Siena
Saint Teresa of Ávila

Without a doubt the greatest female saint after the Virgin Mary. Her purity and holiness are second to none.

The current list seems to be in manifest error. The list should be as follows: Virgin Mary, Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Alexandria, Catherine of Siena, Barbara, Joan of Arc, Clare of Assisi, Mary Magdalene, Clare of Montefalco, and Therese of Lisieux.

A great mystic and reformer who had a good sense of humor.

An outside-the-box thinker with a witty sense of humor.
