Dear Father,

I want to express my thanks publicly to our Lady of the Miraculous Medal for favors granted through her intercession.

A recent biopsy on my breast proved to be benign. I had prayed to Mary for her help and had Votive Lights burning at the Shrine.

I'm also praying that my upcoming cataract surgery will be successful. And please keep my husband in your prayers.

He's a diabetic, has high blood pressure, and suffers from glaucoma.

May God bless you.

The second letter is from Illinois.

Dear Father,

Thank you for your prayers at the time of my open-heart surgery. I had quadruple bypass surgery. All went well and I was home in five days.

I'm 74 years old and I was happy to have so many prayers. I wear my Miraculous Medal every day. I'm sure Mary was praying for me.

My husband and my three children were with me for the surgery. Our parish priest came and prayed with us before surgery and gave me the blessing of the sick. I felt more relaxed and had lots of faith that God was with me.

My husband and I have been married over 50 years. We have so many reasons to give thanks to God. Thank you again and may God bless you.
