Zoe from Jacksonville, Florida, called to thank Fr. Rocky and Maggie for displaying a picture of Venerable Augustus Tolton during the Family Rosary Across America. Her father, who passed away earlier this year, began praying with his parish to Tolton last July for her husband to become Catholic; now, her husband is preparing to enter the Church. 

Fr. Rocky marveled at how quickly those prayers seemed to bear fruit, and he mentioned the desire of Most Rev. Joseph N. Perry, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Chicago, to promote Tolton further since a miracle is still needed for canonization. 

Then Zoe shared her prayer intention: her friend Katie is just 22 weeks pregnant, recently underwent emergency surgery, and the baby is likely to be born very prematurely. Katie’s son was born at 28 weeks last year, which was “an absolute miracle,” and now they are beseeching heaven for the same mercy for little Zellie, named after St. Zélie Martin. 

In just a few moments, Zoe’s call connected Venerable Augustus Tolton, a grieving daughter, a husband moving toward the Catholic Church, and a fragile baby in danger. As Fr. Rocky assured her, “We’re going to pray for that,” trusting that every prayer is heard and that God loves Zellie and her family even more than we do.
