Marian Helper Fall 2015

Visit marian.org/social Stay connected with the Marian Fathers G races R eceived Son survives difficult surgery We would like to acknowledge a grace received from God through the intercession of Blessed Stanislaus Papczynski. Last July, our second son was facing a serious, difficult, and painful operation. Doctors gave him only a 50 percent chance of survival. We asked Blessed Stanislaus to intercede for our son, and the pro- cedure was a tremendous success. Recovery was very slow, but now he is in good health, high spirits, and grateful to be with his wife and two sons. — IM Solution found for serious financial woes I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the intercession of Blessed Stanislaus. It has been more than two years since I started asking him to intercede for my son, who was in a serious financial situation. In the past month, a solution was found. I will continue to ask Blessed Stanislaus to intercede for my son’s health and success. — MD, Newfoundland and Labrador Canada Son finds job after long search My son finally got a job after several months of searching. I believe it was through the intercession of Blessed Stanislaus. I learned about people finding jobs through the intercession of Blessed Stanislaus when I read the “Graces Received” column in Marian Helper . I obtained a prayercard and asked Blessed Stanislaus to intercede on my son’s behalf. During the second novena, he got an interview in the city where he and his family live. We were all excited because his last job was far away from his family. He likes the job, and he is able to be home with his family. — KM, Wykoff, Minnesota Mom overcomes long illness Throughout the winter, my mom was sick with pneumonia and bronchitis. Then, just when she was starting to gain her health, she suffered another occur- rence. My mom is very active, both at home and with our parish, and she is rarely ill. I was very worried. I said a novena and asked Blessed Stanislaus for his intercession. My mom’s health quickly improved, and she has been feeling great ever since. — JF, Valencia, Pennsylvania Daughter avoids jail I am writing to tell you about two graces received through the intercession of Blessed Stanislaus. First, my daughter’s wound from surgery was not healing. I asked Blessed Stanislaus to intercede, and the wound healed. I also asked him to help my daughter do the right thing in regard to a legal matter. Again, Blessed Stanislaus interceded, and she avoided going to jail. — TF For a Blessed Stanislaus prayercard ( B27- CPPC), call toll free 1-800-462-7426.
