DiscerningSoul Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 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!** : Jessica [url="http://www.xanga.com/ADiscerningSoul"]http://www.xanga.com/ADiscerningSoul[/url] God's little lamb for the salvation of souls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
