The regulars in the chat know the story of St. Anthony and my journey. Let's just say St Anthony has shown me so many signs that he has been guiding my adoptions since I "found" him in late Dec. 2007. All this from a very non-religious person!

Today I went to the cathedral to make an offering to St. Anthony for all the in-process families. I walked into the cathedral and the first chapel was for St. Anthony. I said my prayers and left there as part of my offering my St Anthony Novena card with has attached a cross I found back in January. St. Anthony has shown me signs he has been listening to me since late Dec. I asked him to now guide and help all in-process families to complete their adoptions. May he listen and may it happen soon.

Beautiful!! My husband and I are starting a novena to St. John Bosco. If anyone is interested in saying it you can find it on the EWTN website. "His lifelong effort to save the children of the street became the foundation of the Salesians, one of the largest child care networks in the world."

Hesabanana, I wish I had photoshop to make myself look 60 pounds thinner. The 60 I gained during my journey :-)

That is the sweetest gesture! What a wonderful photo, I am really happy for you . I will say a prayer for all the in-process families, and also say a prayer of thanks for all of the help St. Anthony has given you.
