When my son and son-in-law in Kuwait were in danger of losing their jobs I fervently prayed to the Holy Spirit and Our Lady to help them find good jobs. They have found better jobs at better facilities. Gustav A. Mergulhao, Goa
I had been to Chennai. One day after some shopping, I took an auto rickshaw to reach home. The vehicle was moving very fast when suddenly its brakes failed. The auto driver swerved to the right to avoid crashing into the vehicles in front and in the process he lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle turned turtle and both the driver and I were thrown on the road. I escaped with minor bruises on my hand. the driver too was not badly injured. Miraculously, there were no speeding vehicles behind us at that moment.
I owe my miraculous escape to the loving protection of Our Blessed Mother Mary, whose medal I always wear around my neck. Roland Netto, Bangalore

I was returning home from Mass, while crossing the road I was hit by a cyclist and thrown before the on-coming traffic. I am grateful I was not hit by a BMC garbage truck that was just passing by. I am sincerely grateful to Our Blessed Mother for her protection. Mrs Gail Fernandes, Bombay
 

 

On Entering the Convent
by T.E. Burke

 

As Mary broke her alabaster vase
Of precious perfume at the Saviour's feet,
Urged by the inspiration of His grace
To make her simple sacrifice complete;
So you, another Mary, go today
To choose His service as the better part,
And humbly at the Master's feet to lay
The broken alabaster jar - your heart.
