The first letter is from Missouri.

Dear Father,

I am writing in thanksgiving to our Blessed Mother for saving my life and the lives of my three children.

We were driving when a car ran a red light, crossed the highway, and hit my car broadside. There was nothing left of the front end of my car. A truck was behind me, and he left the only set of skid marks on the highway. I never had time to hit my brakes, the other car came out of nowhere, and never slowed down before hitting me.

They rushed all of us to the hospital, but we only had a few bruises. The nurse handed me my necklace with my Miraculous Medal and asked me if I was wearing it at the time of the accident. I told her, “Yes, I always wear my Miraculous Medal.” She said, “You know that’s why you’re still here,” and I replied, “Yes, I do know that—I never take it off my neck.” I’m so grateful to our Lady, and I pray my rosary every day.

The second letter is from Michigan.

Dear Father,

Please include these prayers of supplication and thanksgiving in the next novena at our Lady’s Shrine. My prayers are for my youngest son so he can regain his health. He became very ill recently. The doctors finally diagnosed him as having kidney stones. He has since passed three small stones and feels a little better, but is still having pain in his back in the area of his kidneys.

My prayers of thanksgiving are also for him. I had sent in a petition a while back so he would find a job. They have been answered. He found a good job and loves what he does.

So thank you for your prayers and thanks to our Lady for her intercession in granting my request.
