Most of you probably know my St. Anthony story, but since it's his feast day, I'll tell it again.
Two years ago in early June, after trying to conceive for 2 years with no luck, Ken suggested that we pray a novena to St. Anthony. St. Anthony? I thought that was kind of random but he had found the novena online and printed it out so of course I agreed! We started it and prayed specifically that God would give us a child. On the last day of the novena, I was listening to Catholic radio and they mentioned it was St. Anthony's feast day. What?! No coincidences, my friends. Two weeks later I took my first ever positive pregnancy test. And you know the rest of the story.
So THANK YOU for your prayers, St. Anthony. And happy feast day!

I love this story and never would tire of hearing it!
Awesome story...God is good!
Hope you're having a blessed weekend..
That is a great story!
I love St. Anthony, he has helped me find many lost things!
I am so glad I happened by your blog!
I, too, asked St Anthony to help me. I thought maybe he could help me find fertility -- he helps me find so many other things!
My husband and I had been hoping to conceive for YEARS!!!!! I found out I was pregnant just a couple of weeks after asking St Anthony to help.
Blessings!
I love that :) I had every intention of praying a Novena to him this past Feast Day... but alas, it came and went and something came up and I didn't get it started in time. He has always been my mother's and grandmother's patron Saint. I know him to be very powerful in intercessions (and of course, you do too!)
I have done Novenas to St. Gerard, St. Therese, and St. Anne. I've been to Eucharistic Adorations. I'm at my wits end, I think maybe God wants me to change how I pray. Maybe I'm not supposed to pray for a baby(??) Who knows. But I'm so glad that it worked for you... your daughter is just precious.
