My Friend...Future Patron Saint of Fertility?

Last Monday, one of my college friends (I'll call her "B") passed away after a long fight with cancer.  She was my age.  She was/is an amazing person.  So many people have become better people because of her.  I know she is a saint.  She may even be a "Saint."  That is why in conjunction with staying on the safe side and praying for her to be at peace in Heaven, I am also asking her for a favor. 

I told another friend of mine about this favor that I am asking of "B".  I explained that it is something that "B" also struggled with:  infertility.  Wouldn't that be wonderful if my friend who I believe is in Heaven could help my husband and me to conceive again?  But, if we cannot, maybe some others in this online Catholic community can.  I will send up a petition on your behalf.

  1. Wow, I'm so sorry you lost your friend. She was so young. I think it's so beautiful that you are petitioning her, and that she understands so perfectly your struggles with IF. No doubt she will present your pleas to our Lord. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you :)

  2. Thank you. She will definitely be missed. Although she struggled with infertility, she did end up having two children. I can't imagine what her family is going through right now, but I am pretty sure my friend will still take great care of her husband and children from Heaven.
