G races R eceived M arian H elper • S pring 2021 • marian . org 33 I’m able to drive again I first learned of Blessed George through Marian Helper magazine. On Feb. 2, 2019, I had two cerebral strokes. Needless to say, I went through a lot of rehabilitation and I made some progress, but I was far from being 100 per- cent. After my rehabilitation, I had a true desire to drive a car again, but first I needed to pass the road test at the local DMV. I turned to Blessed George for his intercession and prayed to him very hard, along with an Our Father, a Hail Mary, and a Glory Be that he would help me be successful. At the end of it all, I did pass. One of the first things I did was to offer prayers of thanksgiving to Blessed George. — FR, Billerica, Massachusetts Sister finds a new job My sister has spent the previous year looking for a new job. Although she liked the duties at her job, the environment was very anti-Christian, especially anti-Catholic. She dealt with many negative comments and immoral behaviors on a daily basis. After receiving my Fall issue of Marian Helper , I decided to ask Blessed George for his interces- sion on her behalf. During this pandemic, I have been teaching myself to pray the Hail Mary and Our Father in Latin. To strengthen my prayers for my sister, I prayed my novena in Latin. On the seventh day of my novena, she was contacted regarding a new opportunity. On the ninth day of my novena, she was offered the p osition. Not only is she starting an ex citing new job, it is in a Catholic hospital! Thank you, Blessed George. I am extremely grateful for your intercession. Thank you, Marian Fathers, for introducing me to Blessed George. — CH, Cincinnati, Ohio Daughter gets new job Since giving birth to her first child, my granddaughter, who is a nurse, had a hard time looking for a nanny. She was unable to practice her pro- fession because she had to look after her daughter. She began feeling depressed because of this. I always read Marian Helper mag- azine, and I know Blessed George helps people who are in need. I began praying to him to intercede for my granddaughter to overcome her depression and hopefully find work as a nurse. Before Christmas, one of the best hospitals in the area offered her a job. She is now on her third week of pre-job training. Thank you, Blessed George! My prayers were answered. You were a big help to her sagging career. — EA, Philippines For a Blessed George prayercard (B49-CBGP), call toll free 1-800-462-7426.
