Dear Father,

I prayed to Our Mother Mary for her intercession that my husband's toe would not have to be amputated. My prayers were answered and a miracle happened! His left leg healed and the toe was saved. Thank you so much, Mother Mary. You are always with us to protect and help us.

Dear Father,

After our first child was born, we could not conceive again for nearly a year. We went to a Shrine in Florida, where I went in and didn’t really know what to say since I had a Protestant upbringing. I cried the cry of a broken heart. Two months later we found out we were pregnant! Once we found out the baby was a girl, she was named in honor of Mary. On July 18 our daughter was born. We gave her the middle name of Grace. It was only later that I learned July 18 is the anniversary of the day Our Lady appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré! I don’t feel this is a coincidence. I am grateful to Our Lady that my cry for the blessing of motherhood was answered.
