Unveiled - Miracles of Venerable Felix de Andreis
Father de Andreis First Miraculous Intercession - The Housekeeper!
While the body of Father Felix de Andreis was laid out in a chamber of the seminary, Bishop Dubourg's housekeeper, a pious woman who for some years had been afflicted with an incurable disease, knelt in prayer by the holy priest, fervently praying to be cured through the intercession of him whom she honored as a saint; she arose, perfectly cured. Bishops Dubourg (St. Louis' First Bishop) and Rosati have attested the truth of this fact.
The Star of Bethlehem Comes Again!
During the burial services a shining light, like a star, was seen, fixed over the church; the whole city saw it. Despite the bright light of the sun, this star remained visible in the heavens for three hours, from nine o'clock till midday. The body of the priest was not interred in St. Louis, but was taken to the Lazarist seminary in Perry county and is buried in St. Mary's of the Barrens home to the National Shrine of the Miraculous Medal. Many said that the extraordinary star followed the funeral cortege till the mortal remains were deposited in the chapel seminary.

I continue to pray to Venerable Felix de Andreis for little Dakota and his family everyday.
Many, many thanks Paul!
Father de Andreis decided to "show" up again. I was researching "why pray the Rosary" and found an article on him.
Have you ever heard it is the Saints that pick us and not the other way around?
God bless you, Paul.
The Lord assigns a guardian angel to us, so it may very well be that some saints are on "special assignment". Father De Andreis, pray for us.
