Paterna Gundesíndez

A prayer answered Faced with concern over the outcome of my brother's biopsy, after the appearance of a lipoma with ramifications, I turned in faith to the intercession of Saint Paterna. I asked her to intercede before God so that the result would be favorable. Finally, we received with immense joy the news we had been hoping for: the biopsy gave a favorable result. I want to record this testimony as a thank you to God and to Saint Paterna for her intercession, and to share it with those who turn to her in times of worry or difficulty. Thank you, Saint Paterna, for accompanying us in prayer.

J N, a relative of ours, had been admitted to the Juan Canalejo Hospital in La Coruña for 9 months without finding a solution to his illness... Due to complications, they had to perform a tracheotomy and he was admitted to the ICU with little hope of recovery... For that reason, I asked our Holy Paterna to have mercy on him and I offered prayers and that he would attend Mass if his recovery allowed it; on the day of the feast of S. Paterna, 2026, he and his family attended Mass, only supported by crutches, after many months of not being able to stand on his own and using a wheelchair at most... To this day, he continues to improve...

Seven years ago, a cousin of mine (M M) fell ill with cancer, and I committed to paying for a Mass on the day of the feast if the saint helped in his healing. Thank God, he has been doing wonderfully for these seven years, and I pay for a Mass on that day.

When I was in COU (currently the second year of high school), my grandmother, seeing me very nervous about the university entrance exam, decided to offer me to the Holy Paterna.
