The intercession of the Saints is real and powerful. Throughout my struggle with secondary infertility I have found such comfort and hope in asking the Saints’ intercession.
Spiritual Support During the Struggle with Infertility
Here are some of my favorite Saints, along with a few beautiful Bible verses, that have helped me during these past four years of my infertility.
