Are you thinking of St. Charles Borromeo, Jenn? From Fr. Lord's Miniature Stories of the Saints: "In the end, a terrible sickness came to Milan, his city. Charles nursed the sick himself. He laid them on his own bed. He died of the sickness, a martyr of charity."

How about St. Angela Merici for instructing the ignorant?
And for a woman who cared for the sick, wasn't there one who ministered in Rome during a plague, constantly begging priests to come to anoint the dying? I seem to recall reading about her in the Office, but I can't remember her name. I thought it was St. Frances of Rome, but that doesn't look right.

What about Mother Theresa? When I think of the Corporal Works of Mercy, she is the one I always think of first!

Comfort the sorrowful, St. John the Apostle
We're lacking ideas in Bury the Dead and Pray for the Living and Dead.
I thought of Tobias, but he's not a canonized saint.
Why is St. Catherine of Siena for burying the dead? You know, she would go great in "Counsel the Doubtful" because of the whole Avignon thing!

Oh, and I was trying to remember earlier, St. Camillus of Lellis who founded the Congregation of the Servants of the Sick (the Camellians or Fathers of a Good Death).
Bury the Dead of course Joseph of Arimathea!

St. Gertrude for Pray for the Dead? (I'm thinking of her love for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.)

I'm wondering about this one, Jenn and Celeste. I realize the Fr. Lord's book says this. He definitely qualifies as a saint who minsitered to the sick but while St. Charles Borremeo did minister to the plague victims in Milan he did not die until 8 years later (and not from the plague), so that bio is a little off. The saint who I immediately thought of when you asked this was St. Aloysius Gonzaga who also ministered to vicitms during the plague in Rome - he contracted the disease and died shortly after. I think his story is very interesting because he IS connected with St. Charles Borremeo, who gave him his first communion and to St. Robert Bellermine gave him last rites.

Is it too much of a longshot to put St. Jerome with Instruct the Ignorant?

How about St. Martin of Tours and Dorcas (in Acts, I'm not sure she would be a "saint" officially) for clothing the naked?
As, maybe Maximilian Kolbe could fit under burying the dead, since prior to his own death, he lead each of his fellow prisoners through the gates of death. Surely, he said the prayers for the dead for each of them.

I don't have a copy of this miniature one anymore. I see the picture vividly. Do you have it, Mary?
Very interesting...

I thought that Maximilian Kolbe made sense for Pray for the Living and the Dead.
Also, I keep thinking of military chaplain stories, like that of the grunt padre, Servant of God Reverend Vincent Robert Capodanno for praying for the dead as well as burying the dead. I am not aware of any actual saints or blesseds who were active on battlefields, but surely there were?
Maybe Blessed Karl Josef might fit in there somewhere with his efforts to prevent/end the first world war, but I'm not sure where.

There are plenty of Blesseds and Saints of the Holocaust that would fit in these categories -
CHC had an online write up on many of them, but some come to mind immediately esp. related to :
forgiving wrongs and admonishing the sinner(St. Titus Bradsma was used in medical experiments and one of those who participated in this was a nurse whom he instructed to pray - at least "forgive us sinners now and at the hour of death." She did begin to do so, at least after his death, and later testified in his beatification, I believe. St. Bradsma also clearly forgave her long before she turned from her ways even as he prayed for those torturing him horribly.
Many, many of those arrested, were, like St. Maximillian Kolbe, targeted because of publishing the truth (instructing the ignorant or counseling the doubtful - surely) This list and short description on CHC web included some lay folks as well.
Most of those listed for feeding the hungry, etc. because they established orphanages were also very involved in instructing the ignorant. The schools established were also designed to make sure the poor and children who had to work long hours during the early industrial period in the 1800 and early 1900 in immigrant communities in the US were not left ignorant of their faith. Mother Cabrini certainly focused on instructing the ignorant as well.
