St. Bernadine of Siena


1.)  I wish I had St. Bernadine's energy.  He worked non-stop at a hospital with some companions during a plague that was ravaging the city, and only fell ill after the plague was done from sheer exhaustion of his work.

2.)  He became a Franciscan and became a famous preacher.  He was called by the Pope a "second Paul".

3.)  Even when it was clear that he was near death, he preached for 55 consecutive days (like I said, I need this saint's energy some days).
