NO DAMAGE FROM TORNADO
Dear Bayside Shrine Workers,
A tornado passed through our town of Westlake, Louisiana early in the
morning of January 13, 1995. No damage came to our house, but two trees
fell down in my mother’s front yard. The electric light utility pole on
my mother’s house broke during the storm, and a neighbor said he saw a
big flash of fire spread right across the utility pole on to the top of
my mother’s roof, but no damage came. The fire vanished almost
immediately. My trailer was rocking with the wind, so was my
grandmother’s trailer house, too, but no damage to either one of them.
An electric fire also flashed over my grandmother’s trailer on the roof,
but no damage.
My mother, my grandmother, and my sister--we all have blessed wooden
crucifixes on the outside doors of our houses. We also have the blessed
Rose Petals, the holy statues of Our Lady, and the Green Scapulars in
our homes. We all give thanks to Our Lady of the Roses for sparing us
any damages on our homes. Also, our Bayside group gets out the Bayside
directives and the messages of Bayside in our area. We believe this work
has spared our area from much disaster in the past of floods, tornadoes
and storms.

"PLEASE, LET MY BABY BE HEALTHY"
Dear Veronica,
I’m writing a letter that I should have written six years ago. In 1988,
I was pregnant at 33-years-old. I was a risk as a Downs syndrome baby. I
was sent to the hospital by my doctor, with blood work and other tests.
This is the report I received. I was three months along and was told the
baby would probably not be normal. I was listed on high risk, and I was
told to go for genetic counseling.
They wanted to consider an amniocentesis, which puts a needle into your
stomach to take some fluid from the sac and tests it. At that point, I
asked if anything could be done to my baby. They said no, but I have the
option to abort. I could never do that. My doctor does not believe in
abortion either, but with the record I had, I had to write a letter to
say that I was aware of the findings and the risk. I did. I also
included in the letter that I would trust in God.
When I came home from the hospital, I taped a Rose Petal to my stomach,
where it stayed, and for the remaining six months--this was August 8,
1988--I prayed to the Blessed Mother and received Communion everyday I
could. I asked Our Heavenly Mother to please let my baby be healthy and
may be a girl. I had a bad pregnancy--I almost lost the baby. I had to
have some growth removed twice and hospitalized for two days, so I would
not lose the baby. I lost 26 pounds in eight months, and I couldn’t keep
anything down.
I was due February 8, and on February 17, they induced labor. It was
hard and long--almost went to c-section. On February 18, I gave birth to
a healthy, normal baby girl, 8 lb. 3 ounces. I thank the Blessed Mother
for all of the blessings I have received. On the way home from the
hospital, I stopped to church, and laid in front of the Blessed Lady’s
statue, a Rose Petal in thanks to Our Blessed Mother.
This was not the first time a Rose Petal has saved me. When I was 19
years old, I was told I had a lump on my left breast. I was sent to two
doctors for a mammogram. When the tests came back, they couldn’t find
nothing, and all the doctors checked again, and the lump had completely
gone. Thank you dear Blessed Mother.

NO
HEART TRANSPLANT, BUT HEALED
To Our Lady of the Roses:
My father was critically ill for six months. He was in and out of
intensive care for at least six times. He had a history of heart
problems since he was 36 years old. Eleven years ago, he had a triple
bypass and an aneurysm. This year, he went into congestive heart
failure. At that point, he weighed approximately 220 pounds. His health
was critical.
After his quadruple bypass this year, the doctors gave him six months to
live. He is 62 years old. His body began rejecting all medicine. He lost
weight--down to 143 pounds. He was not able to even to hold water in his
stomach. They told us our only hope was a heart transplant.
I prayed one night over my father and asked Jesus to please give him a
miracle, and if he couldn’t, to please help him to carry his heavy
cross. I wrote a letter to Our Lady of the Roses, for the Vigil of June
18. I found a Rose Petal and placed it under his pillow.
From that day on, my father has held all his food down, he is now 163
pounds, he is grouchy like he used to be, and he even swam three laps
across the pool two weeks ago. He is going shopping and to the beach. I
believe my father is the receiver of a miracle. I talked with a nurse,
who followed the case from beginning to the end and she said, "I hope
you know your father has received a miracle."

SRI LANKAN VERY KEEN TO LEARN
To Our Lady of the Roses:
I’ve seen your ad in today’s morning paper, and I’m replying
immediately. I must confess I have never heard of Our Lady appearing
anywhere in the United States. However, I am very keen indeed to learn
more of these apparitions and also receive Rose Petals blessed by Jesus
and Mary. Especially since two people I know have told me they are
interested in becoming Catholics. At present, they are Buddhists. Please
also send me the blessed crucifix and chain you have promised. As
required, I have also forwarded the coupon cut out from the press ad for
your convenience.

FINGERS COMPLETELY HEALED
Dear Veronica,
I wrote a letter to you concerning my husband’s health and the disease
he’s had for the past five years--how we had taken him to the hospital
at Washington, and the hospital at Oregon, and many, many doctors--that
we had hoped they might be able to help him. He had gotten so bad, that
the doctors were contemplating amputation of all his fingers to the
first joint, because the disease had eaten away most of the flesh and
skin, and they were just now bleeding and filled with pus. The doctors
said it would soon be into the bone. He wanted to go one more time to
the Oregon hospital.
It was at that time, I had written you a letter, and you answered back
and told me you had placed my letter on Our Lady of the Roses altar and
would pray for him. In less than 24 hours, his fingers were completely
healed. Everyone at the hospital said it was just like a miracle. In my
heart, I know it was a miracle, and that our prayers were answered.
There is no medicine that could cure his hand so completely in such a
short time. It’s hard for him to realize what happened, and I keep
telling him that our prayers to Jesus and Our Lady were answered. I want
you both to know of our wonderful blessing and thank you from my
heart--and give thanks to Our Lady of the Roses for helping my husband.
