33
all over the world, my brother and sisters
who love Our Lady and St. Philomena.
The letters published in the booklet
often moved me to tears and I felt
privileged to be able to connect through
prayers to the people suffering in prison,
and I have appreciated their prayers
for me. Gratefully, < Mimi - PA >
I had the virus and was in the hospital
and in rehab for one whole year. My
right hand is numb and my right foot
is infected. My age is against me, I am
100 years old. All I can do now is pray.
May God bless you always!

I have worn a Brown Scapular for
many years but I am yet to find a
priest to enroll me in the Scapular
Confraternity. Most priests, who I
asked, did not have a clue what I was
talking about. Your assistance in this
matter will be greatly appreciated.

My sister had the virus; then I was in
the hospital with high blood pressure
and my sister went to the hospital. We
live in a Senior Home and have an
apartment together. I am still struggling
with the Catholic people here. All of
the beautiful things I ordered, I tried
to offer to them. I had hoped to get a
Rosary group started. I invited Father
to hear Confessions and offer Mass for
us. Few attended. They say they are
non-practicing Catholics and do not
need these things. Please pray for them
and keep me in your prayers too.

Thank you for the envelope you sent
with the 2022 Calendar, Triple Novena
Manual, Mass card and note. Your
thoughtfulness touched my heart.
Whatever you send is so edifying and
it just brightens my day like butterflies
and flowers flowing out of the mailbox.

I got my Decade packet a few days
ago and thank you for remembering
Pat Blackwell, the dear lady, whose
Decade I have been given. I am honored
to participate in a devotion that she
practiced with such faithfulness. Unfortunately,
the prison in Topeka has
not honored their agreement to allow
Shari and the ladies to meet to pray
their Rosary. Our Lady will not fail these
ladies. I am very proud of the way they
are focused on their faith while Satan
rules everywhere around them. The
ULRA is a godsend to so many of the
incarcerated today. May the Immaculate
Heart of Mary triumph against all
adversity! < Diane - KS >
We had mom’s funeral today. It was
so hard. She was not ill and I did have
lunch with her the day before. The next
morning, she texted my sister to wish
her, Happy Birthday! She said she
was not feeling well and, then, did not
answer our texts. The coroner said he
thought it was a quick death, heart
attack, and that there was no evidence
of pain on her face. I believe that was
because the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph
and Our Lord came to get her. My sister
will take up her Decade. Mom so loved
you all. Everywhere in her house, she
had papers and holy cards from you.
Thank you for helping her through the
last few years. It was tough on her
after dad died and she really needed
the comfort and love the Living Rosary
provided for her. < Mary - OR >
I
love sewing Scapulars for Our Lady!
