Thirty-seven canonized saints or groups of saints who died after 1800, from a widow in Maryland to a schoolboy in Milan. Each is shown in his or her own words, in a pope's words, or in the profile kept by the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. Where the Dicastery's page describes a miracle examined for the cause, a second entry quotes that account and is placed at the year of canonization.
Drafted from the Holy See's own pages. Every quotation is checked against the page it links to. This is a selection and not a complete list of the saints of these two centuries. Passages from the Dicastery's website are quoted in Italian; the English translations of them are ours and have not been reviewed. A saint with no miracle entry here is not a saint without an approved miracle: the entry is left out where the linked pages give no account, or where the account is already quoted in the timeline "Miracles approved for canonizations". Martyrs are beatified without a miracle.
“Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton is a Saint! She is the first daughter of the United States of America to be glorified with this incomparable attribute!”
“From the first years, the seed of the Faith was mingled in the soil of Vietnam with the abundant blood of the Martyrs, of the missionary clergy as much as of the local clergy and of the Christian people of Vietnam.”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:
“Fin dai primi anni, il seme della Fede si è mescolato nella terra vietnamita con il sangue abbondante dei Martiri, tanto del clero missionario quanto del clero locale e del popolo cristiano del Viét-Nam.”
“From this good seed was born the first Christian community in Korea, a community unique in the history of the Church by reason of the fact that it was founded entirely by lay people. This fledgling Church, so young and yet so strong in faith, withstood wave after wave of fierce persecution. Thus, in less than a century, it could already boast of some ten thousand martyrs.”
“St John Mary Vianney thus distinguished himself as an excellent, tireless confessor and spiritual director. Passing "with a single inner impulse from the altar to the confessional", where he spent a large part of the day, he did his utmost with preaching and persuasive advice to help his parishioners rediscover the meaning and beauty of the sacrament of Penance, presenting it as an inherent demand of the Eucharistic presence”
“On 2 January 1871, knowing that his hour had come, he said to his brethren: "My time has come. Having always had the protection of the Holy Family, I have never lost the grace received in baptism. I dedicate our little congregation and each one of you to the Holy Family. May it reign in your hearts."”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:
“Il 2 gennaio 1871, sapendo che la sua ora era giunta, disse ai suoi confratelli: “È giunto il mio tempo. Avendo sempre avuto la protezione della Sacra Famiglia, non ho mai perso la grazia ricevuta nel battesimo. Dedico la nostra piccola congregazione e ciascuno di voi alla Sacra Famiglia. Possa essa regnare nei vostri cuori.””

“The humble maiden of Lourdes tells us that the Virgin, whom she called “the Lovely Lady”, looked at her as one person looks at another. Those simple words describe the fullness of a relationship. Bernadette, poor, illiterate and ill, felt that Mary was looking at her as a person.”
“I think of Saints Joseph Mkasa and Charles Lwanga, who after being catechized by others, wanted to pass on the gift they had received. They did this in dangerous times. Not only were their lives threatened but so too were the lives of the younger boys under their care. Because they had tended to their faith and deepened their love of God, they were fearless in bringing Christ to others, even at the cost of their lives.”
“On 8 December 1844, inspired by Saint Philip Neri, he founded the oratory, naming it for Saint Francis de Sales, which he would later settle at Valdocco. … "To form honest citizens and good Christians" was the mission to which the saint gave himself until his death, which came on 31 January 1888.”

“L’8 dicembre 1844, ispirato da san Filippo Neri, fondò, intitolandolo a san Francesco di Sales, l’oratorio che in seguito stabilirà a Valdocco. … “Formare onesti cittadini e buoni cristiani” fu la missione a cui il santo si dedicò fino alla morte sopraggiunta il 31 gennaio 1888.”
“Not without fear and repugnance, he chose to go to the Island of Molokai to serve the lepers who lived there, abandoned by all. Thus he was exposed to the disease from which they suffered. He felt at home with them. The servant of the Word consequently became a suffering servant, a leper with the lepers, for the last four years of his life.”
“Cardinal Newman’s motto, Cor ad cor loquitur, or “Heart speaks unto heart”, gives us an insight into his understanding of the Christian life as a call to holiness, experienced as the profound desire of the human heart to enter into intimate communion with the Heart of God.”
“She counters a rational culture, so often overcome by practical materialism, with the disarming simplicity of the "little way" which, by returning to the essentials, leads to the secret of all life: the divine Love that surrounds and penetrates every human venture.”
“A hundred years ago, on 6 July 1902, Maria Goretti died in the hospital at Nettuno, brutally stabbed the day before in the little village of Le Ferriere, in the Pontine Marshes. Her spiritual life, the strength of her faith, her ability to forgive her murderer have placed her among the best-loved saints of the 20th century.”
“For many years countless young people throughout Australia have been blessed with teachers who were inspired by the courageous and saintly example of zeal, perseverance and prayer of Mother Mary MacKillop. She dedicated herself as a young woman to the education of the poor in the difficult and demanding terrain of rural Australia, inspiring other women to join her in the first women's community of religious sisters of that country. She attended to the needs of each young person entrusted to her, without regard for station or wealth, providing both intellectual and spiritual formation.”
“A diocesan priest, pastor of a very large area without roads or schools, he gave himself to the poorest, building churches, schools and roads. Having caught leprosy through his visits to the sick, he died blind.”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:

In that setting, he expressed his desire to feel himself a brother to every human being, and asked a friend to “pray to God that I truly be the brother of all”. He wanted to be, in the end, “the universal brother”.”
“Proclaimed a Saint by Pius XII on 7 July 1946, thanks to her work she became in 1950 the "Heavenly Patroness of all Emigrants". She died on 22 December 1917 in the hospital for migrants that she had built in Chicago.”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:

“Little Jacinta felt and personally experienced Our Lady's anguish, offering herself heroically as a victim for sinners. One day, when she and Francisco had already contracted the illness that forced them to bed, the Virgin Mary came to visit them at home, as the little one recounts: "Our Lady came to see us and said that soon she would come and take Francisco to heaven. And she asked me if I still wanted to convert more sinners. I told her yes".”
“he bore witness to God with his joy of living and of being a Christian in prayer, friendship and charity. This was so evident that seeing him walking the streets of Turin with carts full of supplies for the poor, his friends renamed him “Frassati Impresa Trasporti” (Frassati Transport Company)! Even today, Pier Giorgio’s life is a beacon for lay spirituality.”
“A priest, Founder of the Institute of the Consolata Missions; aware that the Church of Turin lacked an Institute devoted specifically to the missions to the nations, he founded the Consolata Missions Institute. At the express request of Pope Saint Pius X, he also set up a women's branch, founding the Institute of the Consolata Missionary Sisters”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:

Su esplicita richiesta del Papa San Pio X, costituì pure un ramo femminile fondando l’Istituto delle Suore Missionarie della Consolata”
“Just before he died, the leader of the soldiers asked him cynically whether he wanted to send any message to his father. To which the young martyr answered in a faint voice: "That we will see each other in paradise. Long live Christ the King! Long live Holy Mary of Guadalupe!" Then the military leader shot him in the head with his pistol.”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:
“Appena prima di morire, il capo dei soldati gli chiese cinicamente se volesse mandare qualche messaggio a suo padre. Al che il giovane martire rispose con un filo di voce: «Che ci vedremo in paradiso. Viva Cristo Re! Viva Santa Maria di Guadalupe!». Allora il capo militare con la sua pistola gli sparò in testa.”
“Mrs. Anna Maccolini in October 1930 was struck by influenzal bronchopneumonia, which lasted until February of the following year. Towards the middle of December of the same year 1930 there was added to that illness a phlebitis of the left leg and thigh, which spread through the whole limb so as to swell it to more than double and leave it immobile. … And then Mrs. Anna, one night towards the end of that same year, after making a triduum to Blessed John Bosco and placing a relic of him on the limb, found herself in an instant perfectly healed of the phlebitis, with no more pain and no swelling in the limb, its movement free and natural again and its bending free.”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:
“La signora Anna Maccolini nell’ottobre del 1930 fu colpita da bronco-polmonite influenzale che durò sino al febbraio dell’anno seguente. Verso la metà del dicembre dello stesso anno 1930 a detta malattia si aggiunse una flebite alla gamba ed alla coscia sinistra, la quale invase l’intiero arto sì da gonfiarlo oltre il doppio e immobilizzarlo. … Ed ecco che la signora Anna, una notte, sul finire dello stesso anno, dopo aver fatto un triduo al Beato Giovanni Bosco ed aver posto sull’arto una reliquia del medesimo, all’istante si trovò perfettamente guarita dalla flebite, senza più alcun dolore e senza gonfiezza all’arto, tornato libero e naturale il movimento e libera la flessione.”
“When every treatment, begun as far back as 1903, had proved useless, she went twice on pilgrimage to Lourdes, but having not obtained healing from the Blessed Virgin even on the second pilgrimage, made in the first days of May 1931, before leaving Lourdes she prayed to Mary Most Holy in these words: "Since here at Lourdes I have not obtained healing, grant me at least, for the devotion I have to Blessed John Bosco, that he may obtain it for me in Turin." … Then, as if coming back to herself, she realizes that she is healed; without any help, from that moment, she walks freely to the amazement of those present, who knew she was unable to walk; she climbs in and out of the carriage and up and down the stairs with no hindrance.”
Our translation. The words as written, in Italian:
“Riuscite vane tutte le cure, incominciate fin dal 1903, per ben due volte peregrinò a Lourdes, ma non avendo ottenuta la guarigione dalla Beata Vergine nemmeno nel secondo pellegrinaggio compiuto ai primi del maggio 1931, prima di ripartire da Lourdes, così pregò Maria Santissima: « Poiché qui a Lourdes non ho ottenuto la guarigione, concedetemi almeno per la devozione che nutro verso il Beato Giovanni Bosco che egli me la possa ottenere in Torino ». … Allora, come tornando in sé, si accorge d’essere guarita; senza alcuno aiuto, da quel momento, cammina liberamente tra lo stupore dei presenti, che la sapevano impedita di camminare; sale e discende la carrozza e le scale senza alcun impedimento.”
“Bro. André Bessette, a native of Quebec in Canada, and a religious of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, experienced suffering and poverty at a very early age.

“The following words are attributed to St Maximilian Kolbe, who is said to have spoken them when the Nazi persecution was raging: "Hatred is not a creative force: only love is creative". And heroic proof of his love was the generous offering he made of himself in exchange for a fellow prisoner, an offer that culminated in his death in the starvation bunker on 14 August 1941.”
“Because she was Jewish, Edith Stein was taken with her sister Rosa and many other Catholic Jews from the Netherlands to the concentration camp in Auschwitz, where she died with them in the gas chambers. Today we remember them all with deep respect. A few days before her deportation, the woman religious had dismissed the question about a possible rescue: “Do not do it! Why should I be spared? Is it not right that I should gain no advantage from my Baptism? If I cannot share the lot of my brothers and sisters, my life, in a certain sense, is destroyed”.”
“At the age of nine, she was kidnapped by slave-traders, beaten till she bled, and sold five times in the slave-markets of Sudan. … Now, however, she heard that there is a “paron” above all masters, the Lord of all lords, and that this Lord is good, goodness in person. She came to know that this Lord even knew her, that he had created her—that he actually loved her.”
“After nine years in a wheelchair and after a long agony she died at Medellín on 21 October 1949. The Congregation grew quickly.

“Mother Katharine Drexel was born into wealth in Philadelphia in the United States. But from her parents she learned that her family's possessions were not for them alone but were meant to be shared with the less fortunate. … With great courage and confidence in God's grace, she chose to give not just her fortune but her whole life totally to the Lord.”

“In convening the Council, Saint John XXIII showed an exquisite openness to the Holy Spirit. He let himself be led and he was for the Church a pastor, a servant-leader, guided by the Holy Spirit.”
“Throughout his life, he always sought greater conformity with the Crucified, since he was very conscious of having been called to collaborate in a special way in the work of redemption. His holiness cannot be understood without this constant reference to the Cross.”
“On 25 August 1969 Sister Troncatti takes leave of the community to go to Quito for the spiritual exercises. She reaches the airstrip when the small plane already has its engines running. … She is 86 years old, all spent as a gift of love.

“On 18 April 1986 the decree was issued by which the causes of all 117 martyrs were joined into one.

“The cry of Jesus on the Cross, "I thirst" (Jn 19: 28), expressing the depth of God's longing for man, penetrated Mother Teresa's soul and found fertile soil in her heart. Satiating Jesus' thirst for love and for souls in union with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, had become the sole aim of Mother Teresa's existence”
“Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid to welcome Christ and accept his power. … Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ.

He alone knows it.”
“Both Pier Giorgio and Carlo cultivated their love for God and for their brothers and sisters through simple acts, available to everyone: daily Mass, prayer, and especially Eucharistic Adoration.

Rientrò nel suo villaggio l’8 maggio completamente guarito e riprese la sua normale vita di abitante della foresta. … La Consulta Medica, nella seduta del 14 settembre 2023, ha dichiarato che la guarigione fu rapida, completa e duratura, nonché inspiegabile alla luce delle attuali conoscenze scientifiche.”
“With a view to the beatification of Giuseppe Allamano, the Postulation presented the alleged healing, obtained through his intercession, of a lay missionary woman suffering from "acute viral hepatitis with a fulminant course".

The Medical Board, in its session of 25 October 1989, judged the healing scientifically inexplicable.”

“Mr. Juwa Juank Kankua Bosco, born in 1975 at Tuutinentsa in Ecuador, a member of the Shuar people of the community of Nunkui Nunka, province of Morona Santiago, on the morning of 2 February 2015, while sharpening the blade of the machine for planing wooden boards, was struck violently on the front of the head by a large fragment of stone thrown from the grinder, which had broken apart. Mr. Juwa lost consciousness and brain matter came out of his head. … Between the end of March and the beginning of April 2015, Mr. Juwa dreamed of a woman dressed in white who said she was Sr. Maria Troncatti and who reassured him about his healing. When the patient woke he felt a particular energy, so much so that he was able to move his leg and arm; with his wife's help he began to walk and managed to say a few words. From that moment there was a steady improvement. … The Medical Board, in its session of 7 March 2024, recognized that the healing was rapid, complete and lasting, as well as inexplicable according to the laws of science.”
