I’m answering your letter which I received May 8,
2000.
I’m a Korea War Veteran and I get treated at the Veteran’s Medical
Center here. However, my surgery was done in the VA Medical Center in
Albuq. They don’t give records like that too easy. My surgery
consisted of lumbar decompression. Like I mentioned before it really
went too good. Very little pain and prompt recovery follow. I was
suffering from back pain, a feeling of like electricity going down from
the waist towards my feet through my legs. I had to use a cane to help
me walk. My body was curved to the right and felt very uncomfortable
and felt pain in both legs. At one time after a drive of 215 miles,
one of my legs started to get numb up to my groin (almost at my hip). I
went to emergency and rested and felt better. After the operation all
that vanished and I felt much better. At my surgery I
had taken a medal of ‘Our Lady Mary Conceived without
Sin’ and also a Rose Petal. That’s my testimony. I’m 70 yrs
old. I pray my Rosary almost everyday. I thank Jesus and Mary for my
recovery.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mr. B, - Texas

Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, July 25, my mother scheduled for a kidney
dialysis graft replacement at a local hospital was granted a very
special blessing and grace by Our Lady of the Roses. As her
surgeon Dr. Wade was not optimistic at all that the surgery would go
well as this graft was to be placed in her right upper thigh. We placed
Her blessed Rose Petal in her gown just before surgery. The
surgery went perfect and mother is doing well. Thanks to the motherly
love of Our Lady of the Roses.
Also my brother Tim suffered a small heart attack on
Sunday July 30. He was in ICU. I came to visit him that day and gave
him a blessed Rose Petal. As of this writing (Aug 2) he is well and out
of the hospital.
Our sincere gratefulness and thanks and love always
to Our Lady of the Roses.

My friend Consuelo gave me a rose petal because I hurt my
wrist. I didn’t know if it was a bone or nerve that I had hurt. -went
to the doctor. He told me to go for an x-ray, but I didn’t have to go
because it was a miracle that cured my wrist. Thanks to Our Lady of
the Roses and God.

I want to share how the Blessed Mother has helped me
this past year. By the grace of God, I had given birth to my youngest
child on Dec. 15th, 1999 by C-section. After 10 hours of induced labor,
my son's heart rate had dropped with each contraction. I was rushed to
have my surgery to get him out. What was supposed to be a quick
delivery, turned out to be 3 hours long. (I had a previous infection
after my c-section with my third child which caused many adhesions.)
These adhesions had made all of my organs stick together to the uterus.
The doctors had to literally cut and move the organs so they could get
Edward out. He came out safely. The next problem was controlling the
bleeding and closing me up. I had lost so much blood. I had fevers and I
spent days in the hospital, with antibiotics, blood thinners and IV's. I
had so much pain. The Rosary helped me to calm down. The doctors
couldn't figure what was wrong with me. One night, my blood pressure
shot up, so did my pulse rate, and the nurses were going to send me to
the intensive care unit. I held my Rosary and I asked our Blessed Mother
to help me. Within 30 minutes, I was stable. I taped the blessed Rose
Petal to my abdomen. It was almost Christmas. I missed my children.
My husband was so ragged from sleeping at the hospital, feeding the
baby, checking on our kids at his sister's home, and saying the family
‘Christmas novena to the Infant Jesus’ at our home each night. It was
the first Christmas we were all apart from each other. I kept saying the
Rosary, a novena to the Sacred Heart, and a novena to the Infant of
Prague. My prayers were answered on Christmas day! I was released from
the hospital. Just being alive and able to be with my new baby and
family was the best Christmas gift I could receive.

Dear Friends
After very
complicated cancer surgery my middle-aged daughter was left with a tiny
esophagus (stomach tube) that shriveled up to the size of a pencil and a
stomach half the size of a golf ball. Frequently the food she eats will
stick to the inside walls and gives a ‘choked’ feeling that will not
even allow water to get through. Often she remains ‘stuck’ for hours.
Recently a piece of
chicken got caught and her usual dislodging methods of trying hot fatty
chicken broth melted caramel, running up and down stairs and even
jumping on the trampoline didn’t do it. After 26 ˝ hours of no food or
water she called me up to let me know it happened again knowing I would
pray. Instead of my usual prayers, I taped a Rose Petal over my
chest and said a Rosary. On my last Hail Mary, she called and joyfully
announced, ‘it went down!” This was a big Miracle for us
even if there was no further healing and I was so happy it came through
the Petals.
I must say, she is the only survivor of the
dozen people who had the same ‘experimental’ surgery with her ten years
ago. Even though she chokes almost every day, she is still able to care
for her large family and do big jobs around the house. Thank God and
our wonderful Mother with the loving Rose Petals. They
are always with us! She had been scheduled to go to the hospital to
have her esophagus stretched again and this time it was not as painful.
Her doctor suggested more surgery that probably would help. We trust
our God and our dear Mother. Also thanks to Their intercession a
young lady who had moved in with her boyfriend a few weeks ago came back
home to stay! Thank you for your prayers. Please keep on praying for
us. God bless you all in your wonderful work.
Sincerely,
Mrs. H. - Massachusetts
