Personal Testimonies #203 - 213

 

August 31, 1981
Dear Veronica,
     I must write and thank you for the rose petals and leaflets about Our Lady of the Roses. My cousin Anne was with me when I received them, and she has very high blood pressure with severe headaches. She blessed her head with the petal and hasn't had a headache since.
Yours sincerely,

from Belfast, Northern Ireland


Dear Veronica,
I am a sinner who was away from the Church and God for more years than I can remember.
     My mother prayed and made novenas. She also had to pray for me through two heart surgeries and three strokes. I should have been dead with the second surgery. God did not give up on me and neither did my mother and the Holy Mother.
     It still took many years more, and many prayers. I am back with the Faith, Jesus and His Church. I used to pray: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to take, as that was how useless I felt. I kept asking: why am I alive? I know why I am alive now. With my condition I am not useless as I can pray for others and the souls in purgatory. There is peace within me and I am happy even though I know through the messages what is going to happen in the end.
     I regret not returning to God sooner as I could have done a lot more praying, and could have read some of the Bible.
     I thank God each day for letting me have another day to get to church, receive Holy Communion, say the Stations of the Cross, and do my Rosaries.
     Jesus falls the third time is the one I stay at a long time, so as never to forget Jesus is there always, just come back to Him. Jesus and our Holy Mother watch over us, I ask many times, and I am able to climb the church stairs, do the Stations of the Cross, come to the Vigils, and lately the Holy Hour.
     I wanted you to know how much your prayers and the prayers of our sisters and brothers have done for me, once all the prayers got me back to God.

M.C.


Dear Veronica,
     Since we have been reading the messages, my family has started saying the rosary every night. Today we went to church for the first time in at least 20 years.
     Please pray for us! We need your prayers very much.
     God bless you!
With love,

from Plaquemine, Louisiana


September 17, 1981
Dear Veronica,
     I had a hiatal hernia, and was sick every day with it, so I placed my medal of Our Lady of the Roses over it. The next day, and every day since, I have not had any sign of sickness, thanks to our dear Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers.
     God bless you, Veronica, and I hope your burden will not be too heavy.
Sincerely,

from North Bellmore, Long Island, New York


Dear Veronica, 
     On June 21, 1981, my brother, age 36, was found in a deep coma due to an overdose of drugs. It was about 6:30 p.m. when he was brought to the hospital emergency room in Manhattan. From there he was sent to the special care unit where he was treated immediately by doctors. He was in a very deep, deep coma and was allowed immediate family visits for every five minutes on the hour.
     On Monday a dear friend of the family gave me a rose petal from Our Lady of the Roses Shrine. On Tuesday morning my brother was still in a deep coma. I visited him for five minutes and touched the rose petal to his forehead, cheek and right arm. The following afternoon doctors said there was a slight improvement. That was Wednesday, June 23, 1981, he awoke in the afternoon. I attribute this miracle to the rose petal from the Shrine of Our Lady of the Roses.
     Many thanks to Our Lady of the Roses!

from New York City, New York


Dear Veronica,
     My life has changed so much since my first visit to the Shrine grounds on Feb. 1st, 1974.
     My love for Our Blessed Mother has increased a hundredfold. There have been many conversions in our family (my sisters and their husbands, through petitions to Our Lady of the Roses, help of Mothers).
     I, along with E.K. from the Hartford, CT area, have gotten several busloads of people to come to the holy Shrine, rather I should say Our Lady did, using us as her instruments.
     Since reading and hearing the messages at Bayside, I have begun teaching catechism to 5th grade children.
     Our church had been asking for CCD teachers, and I told them I would gladly teach, but every Sunday, they would continue to ask for teachers, ignoring me!
     Finally, after reminding them several times, I told Sister, "Maybe you don't want me to teach because I am the only one in the church that kneels to receive Our Lord Jesus in Communion!"
     Well, within ten minutes I received a call on the telephone that a 5th grade teacher was needed! I was thrilled.
     These little ones did not know the Ten Commandments of God nor did they know many prayers!
     With Our Lady and Jesus in my heart I hope to teach them about God to help make Him their friend, to talk to Him all day long and to obey His Commandments.
     If it is possible, also, I would like to have copies of all the messages received at Bayside since the first.
Sincerely yours thru Jesus and Mary,

from Hartford, Connecticut


September 17, 1981
Dear Veronica,
     In a previous letter, I had asked you to kindly pray for R.W. Sr., and Jr., this man's son. I gave a rose petal to his wife.  R.W., a non-Catholic, decided to convert to the Roman Catholic faith. He is taking instructions and attends Holy Mass on Sundays. The son, suffering from severe asthma since early childhood (he is 13), has become an altar boy and has not suffered an attack (sever as they were), ever since his mother had the rose petal.
In gratitude,

from Merrickville, Ontario, Canada


August 23, 1981
Dear Veronica,
     I'm writing now to ask you for more rose petals and medals. I went to Bayside in May for the first time, and since that time I've been trying to spread Our Lady's message, especially in the hospital where I work as a pediatric nurse. My patients have benefited greatly from these sacramentals.
     Nadine is a beautiful teenager with leukemia who has been suffering greatly. I put Our Lady's medal under her pillow, and later told her mom about Bayside and the cures obtained through Our Lady.
     One night Nadine could not sleep. I gave her my rosary from Bayside and told her to say it. Soon she was sitting up in bed asking for food. She hadn't had much of an appetite in weeks. She is now in remission. Please continue to pray for her.
     I feel so lucky to have seen you, Veronica. My prayers are with you too.
Gratefully,

C.D.


October 13, 1981
Dear Veronica,
     In December of last year, one of our friends' father was diagnosed as being seriously ill and he was not expected to live beyond June. We gave him a blessed rose petal and prayed to our Blessed Mother. He began to improve, and now he is traveling and doing super (he is in his mid-eighties). His family can hardly believe it.
     Many thanks to Jesus and our Blessed Mother.
Sincerely, 

from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


October 19, 1981
Dear Workers of Our Lady,
     You asked for details regarding the testimonials I hinted at in an earlier letter. I'll try to be brief, but thorough.
     The two children involved were girls; one seven years old, the other three.
     The older one, my niece, got her hand caught in the hinged side of a combination door when a large gust of wind slammed the door shut. One finger was severed and two others badly smashed.
     Doctors attempted to sew the severed finger back on while caring for the others as best they could. The first two weeks would decide the fate of the finger. After one week the bandages were removed and the prognosis was not favorable. The doctor said he would wait one more week, but one was not to expect miracles.
     We sent here mother a rose petal and suggested that she say the rosary. She did it fervently and often during that week. When the bandages were removed, the doctor and mother were amazed. Everything is fine now. That young mother is totally convinced that the healing was a direct result of the rose petal and Our Blessed Lady's intercession.
     The three-year old girl had contracted a strange and quite rare disease. It was one involving the blood, the kidneys, and the liver.
     Doctors spent two weeks trying to identify the disease. Meanwhile, the girl got weaker and weaker. Once it was identified, the outlook was grim. The doctors tried not to alarm the parents, but were not too hopeful. My daughter gave the parents a rose petal and suggested rosaries be said. The parents prayed, but more importantly, they believed!
     After a few days, the girl improved, and a week later, left the hospital with a relatively clean bill of health and good prognosis for total recovery.
     A nurse who had seen several cases of this disease told the parents that it was usually fatal. Those that had survived always had to be on a dialysis machine. The nurse felt this cure was truly miraculous.
     Needless to say, so do the little girl's parents.
     Hope this will suffice. Keep up your good work.
Sincerely,

from Omaha, Nebraska


October 12, 1981
Dear Veronica,
     Thank you so much for all the pamphlets received, and also the rose petals blessed by Jesus, and the medals of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers.
     I am writing to let you know that after praying with my medal, my knees have been cured. I am able to climb steps and high places, which I found very hard to do without help from someone.
Sincerely in Christ,

from Runa, Zimbabwe, Africa
