Ad Honorem Immaculatae Conceptionis Mariae Oblatio

197 Anyway, I see that the presence of Father Stanislaus in Vietnam is more and more visible. Last month on his feast day May 18 I heard from a one of our candidates that his sister-in-law was pregnant but the fetus was very weak. She often went to the hospital to make the tests. The doctor said that it was very difficult to protect the fetus because the mother had already miscarried before. When our candidate heard this, he immediately started to recite the Novena to Saint Stanislaus Papczynski and so pray for the life of the child and the health of his mother. After few days his sister-in-law went to the hospital and the doctor declared that her child was healthy and his life was not in danger any more. Last month that woman gave birth to a healthy son. Our candidate who prayed for them both believes that they were saved because of the intercession of Saint Stanislaus Papczynski. It is one of the signs of the presence of Father Founder in Vietnam. After 4 years spent in the Marian Community as the candidate, postu- lant and novice, I discover that I am here not only because the Congrega- tion has accepted me but also, because Father Stanislaus welcomed me. He wants me to love God and the Blessed Virgin Mary as he did. He wants me to follow Jesus Christ according to his example. He wants me to do everything for Christ and the Church according to the Marian Charism. Saint Stanislaus Papczynski has become a living person for me, always present in my heart. I cannot sleep well if I do not say something to him. Peter Nguyễn Văn Hà MIC
