Saints are our friends in heaven. The ask God to help us with our problems. Patron saints help with particular needs. This book, Blessed Jacinta Marto: Patron for Children with Tummy Troubles, tells the life of Jacinta Marto. The Blessed Mother appeared to Jacinta, her brother, and her cousin in Fatima, Portugal. Jacinta also got the Spanish influenza, which gave her very bad tummy aches. Blessed Pope John Paul II beatified Jacinta in 2000.
