The first letter is from New York.

Dear Father,

Many years ago, I realized I had a drinking problem. I got down on my knees and prayed for Mother Mary’s intercession for strength to overcome this demon. Within days I lost all desire to drink and have been sober for more than 30 years. The second time Our Lady interceded on my behalf was when I was unemployed and had not been able to find a job. I was at a chapel praying and crying to her. A very muscular, tattooed man knelt next to me and said, "She is listening, don't give up. She knows you love her and she loves you." I replied, "I know." I looked up at Mary’s statue and the man was gone. I received a job offer the following week. I am so grateful to Our Blessed Mother for her intercession.

The second letter is from an email.

Dear Father,

Many years ago I was leaving work late at night. A freezing rain was falling and ice was accumulating on the roads. As I was traveling home, an on-coming car spun around and was literally facing the front of my vehicle. I felt a tug as I braked my car. I did not spin, but stopped on a dime, avoiding a horrific accident. I was wearing my Miraculous Medal at the time. I thanked Our Blessed Mother for watching over and protecting me and the other driver.
