Surgery And St. Agatha

[DiscerningSoul]

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.

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.

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