Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers
Reported Cures

drinking habit

August 10, 1982
Dear Veronica,
     A few months back, I sent my petition to be put on the altar of Our Lady of the Roses Shrine, and I requested some rose petals, medals and rosaries.
     On the 26th of September, I received a thick packet containing plenty of literature about the happenings at the Shrine, and a shower of rose petals blessed by Jesus, and rosaries and medals as well, with a letter from "Our Lady's worker." I thank you with all my heart for the wonderful gift so generously sent.
     Ever since I received this packet, I have been distributing the papers and sacramentals to all those who come to see me, as I am an invalid myself, confined to my room. I wish to write of one striking incident of conversion.
     A father of six children, who is a teacher, had taken to bad drinking habits during the past five or six years. As soon as he got his pay every month, he would spend it in drinking, and paying the debts of the previous months. He had no sense of responsibility whatsoever. I gave a rose petal and Our Lady's medal to his daughter. She gave them to him, and from that time onwards there was a definite change in him. He has given up his drinking habit completely, and is now a very responsible head of the family. His wife and children are very grateful to Jesus and Our Blessed Mother. They can hardly believe this wonderful change in him.
In union of prayers and sufferings, 
yours sincerely,

from Pondicherry, India
