Ok this is very interesting!

I am having surgery on Monday, February 5th. (to remove a small lump on my breast)
So I look on the saints calender to see what saint is on that day and it's St.Agatha, I read on to find out she had her breast cut off, often pictures of her show her with a plate with what looks like buns but are really her breasts.
I read on that she is the patron saint of breast cancer.

I just thought it was ironic that here I am going to have surgery on my breast and on the feast day of St.Agatha who had them cut off.

**To all the guys that clicked to read this, I told you not too!**

That's neat. St. Agatha, pray for us!

Our prayers will be with you. Best of luck with the surgery. Keep us informed, ok?

I wouldn't say it's ironic, I would say that you have some great friends in the Church Triumphant Prayers for a safe and successful surgery.

That's really cool.

I am sure that Saint Agatha will be looking after you Jessica. You have my prayers for a successful op and speedy recovery.

Jessica,

Let us know how you are, pamper yourself, and I will keep you close in prayer.

Jessica, that's a beautiful blessing from our lord and I'm sure St. Agatha will be praying for you, and know that I will be praying for you too, I'm going to pray an extra rosary for you on that day!! God Bless you and Hope all goes well!!

Don't forget Ven. Zelie Martin--the Little Flower's mom who died of breast cancer, also.

Hi all,

I am home from surgery and it took less then an hour, I an in no pain and everything went well.
Me and mom went out to dinner at olive garden and then she kindly drove me to the barn to see my horse, mom fed him the breadsticks from dinner.
I feel great and wish to thank you all for your prayers!

and of course a big thank you to St.Agatha for her protection and God for his love and oversight.
