I suffered a heart attack in
early September and was in
the hospital twice and now
I am recovering. When I was
in a weakened condition and
could not pray, I just sat and
looked at the picture you
sent of Jesus and Mary with
your handwriting on Mary’s
sleeve. Just looking at Mary
was all I needed to feel at
peace. I wear my Pardon
Crucifix always and daily
pray with all the wonderful
prayer cards you have sent over the
years. Enclosed is a donation for those
in prison. My heart goes out to them.

Please send your 2022 Calendar. I love
your calendar and use it every day.

I sent you two boxes containing some
priests’ vestments. A nursing home
nearby gave them to me. They said
that, since COVID, they no longer have
a priest come to celebrate the Mass.
This is so sad! < Gloria - IL >
I find no words to express my gratitude
for your sending such a beautiful array
of religious articles that my brother
had requested on my account. I felt like
a child on Christmas morning, not
knowing which to read first! I have
since arranged them appropriately
to be included either in my daily
devotional time, the prayer book I take
to Mass, or the altar on my dresser.
Thank you so much for taking time to
accumulate these articles which I will
always hold dear to my heart. I am
now receiving treatments for stage-IV
colorectal cancer and I know that
Jesus and our heavenly Mother will
never let go of my hands as I continue
on this journey. God bless you for
your kindness! < Jo Ann - OH >
I recently lost my loving
wife and I lost my first-born
son and my brother. This has
brought me to my knees
spiritually. Now, I have been
diagnosed with Leukemia.
All my energy is lost. My
suffering is a cross and I
thank Our Lord. My wife
was ill for such a long time
that she was given Extreme
Unction 17 times and the
Apostolic Blessing. I just saw
the Dedicated Decades and
I am deeply interested in getting all the
issues possible, old and new. It is God’s
divine messenger. Please keep me in
your prayers. < Leonard - CA >
Thank you for everything you do to
help people in prisons and on the streets.
My son, Pete, is in Clayton prison. You
blessed him with some spiritual things
to help him and you sent me a Rosary,
holy oil and holy water. I pray with him
over the phone that he will be safe and
come home soon. I pray for you and
all your loved ones. God bless always!

I had surgery and am behind on everything.
Say a little prayer for people
like me who have not been to Mass or
had the Sacraments for a long time. I
won’t go to the Novus Ordo and there
is no traditional Mass anywhere near
me. I mentioned this to a priest friend
whom I respect, and he said I do have
a heavy cross to bear. I am a convert
and can see so many Protestant things
in the new service. Thank God for you
and your helpers. < WA >
Bishop David Zubic of Pittsburgh has
closed hundreds of churches, schools,
rectories and convents, and destroyed
the diocese. For 25 years, I walked
one mile to daily Mass; now that is not
possible. His decisions have torn apart
the church community. Pray for him.
Pray for us. < USA >
