Marian Helper Winter 2012-2013

Re c e i v ed Graces Blessed’s ‘intercession is indeed powerful’ I amwriting to thank your holy Founder, Blessed Stanislaus, for several graces obtained for my family this year through his intercession. I turned to himwhen my brother-in-lawwas facing big decisions about treatment of his progressing melanoma. He decided against invasive and experimental treatments. He and his wife decided to live each day of life he would be granted to the fullest, and they did. He also had the grace to die peacefully at him home with his wife and daughter. I also asked Blessed Stanislaus to intercede for my grandniece — she wanted to become pregnant but was unable to. Then, she became pregnant but had a miscar- riage. At last, she again became pregnant, carried the baby to term, and survived a very difficult delivery. I thank Blessed Stanislaus that little Madelaine Joy is perfect. Blessed Stanislaus’s intercession is indeed powerful with God, and he is full of love and compassion for the needs of people who are suf- fering. I pray he may soon be declared a saint. —Sr. MT, Guatemala City, Guatemala ‘He got his first full-time job in five years’ My husband had been searching for a full- time job for the past several years. A couple of months ago, in Marian Helper , I found a prayer for Blessed Stanislaus’s intercession. I saw that job offers seemed to be at the fore- front of many of the graces obtained, so I began to seek his interces- sion for my husband. Then, out of the blue, my husband suddenly found out about three jobs, two of which yielded inter- views — something rare, I can assure you. The first interview didn’t result in a job, but I kept turning to Blessed Stanislaus for help. A few days later, my hus- band got his first full-time job in five years. He started today, and I wanted to share with you how Blessed Stanislaus has again come to help the unemployed, who are just trying to support their families and stay strong in their faith. Believe me when I say that this was a miracle in so many ways. —MK, Charlottesville, Va. ‘I continued to pray for healing’ My friend was suffering from complications after emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix. I began asking Blessed Stanislaus to intercede for his recovery. After a second emergency surgery, his condition was critical. The doctors told his wife he was dying. I continued to ask Blessed Stanislaus for his intercession for my friend’s healing and recovery. Thanks to Blessed Stanislaus my friend recovered, and after six months, he returned to work. — JH, York, Pa. For a Blessed Stanislaus prayercard (B17-CPPC), call toll free 1-800-462-7426.
