Personal Experience with the Our Lady

Why Do I Believe in the Virgin Mary

The image from Rome of Our Mother of Perpetual Help

This is a written account why I believe that the Virgin Mary can really help us or intercede for our prayers. It all began with a simple curiosity that leads me to ask about certain things and I was given the answer to it. I believe that God has His workers here and in Heaven and I believe that God has granted them the authority to help us in every way through His consent. As a young Catholic, I never believe in the power of intercession, not until I found out myself. I am not convincing anyone to believe in this account, this was never my intention. I just want to share what The Virgin Mother of God has done to me. Thanks

Novena Prayer :

The Immaculate Heart Of Mary

O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today, especially ...(special intention).

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help all of us, Holy Mother, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever.

Amen.

The start of my ordeal

Since the death of my father last November 22, 2012, my life really hit the hard bottom. I was broke and at the same, all of my contracts online have been swept away in just a blink of an eye. All were gone and I am left with nothing except my dog who has been a very loyal companion. All of my bills at the end of the month have been coming in and the worst thing that came is the notification that my internet connection has an overdue bill from which it is subjected for disconnection. Working online was the only source of income that I know. I am still studying in college and I could not afford to work full time here at our place due to the nature of work and my studies. It is also very hard to work here, finding a job is like winning a lottery especially if it's a part-time job. There are some instances that the minimum wage imposed by the government is not being followed.

When it Rains, It Pours

One month after the death of my beloved father who has been a great help emotionally and financially. My life was in total chaos, I experience eating porridge for a more than weeks and nothing more. My internet connection which has been a source of my income has been doomed and the inevitable happened - Internet connection has been disconnected. For a whole month of looking for a job online, I received no response and not even the least king of the job had a taste of my services. Within that month, I experience where life has not taken me yet. I experienced begging for assistance with my other sibling, I learned to live without the internet, I learned to eat what is available(rice only menu), I learned to live life without the financial capability to buy anything that is needed in everyday living. I literally became like St. Francis of Assisi, who owns nothing but prayers, which I am also a member of its lay missionary.


Everything Happens For a Reason

God is a great designer and I really believe that in my heart. He let things happened to us just to let us see Who He was and what He can do to us. For those times that I have experience hardship, I have nothing to lean on but God. The pain of losing a father and the life without anything is not really something a normal person wishes to have. My experience though it is not that complex as compared to others is enough for me to call it my own hell.

I always pray to God that time, not a single time that I doubted God nor I was very angry with the Creator. I always remind myself that this thing happens for a reason and it shall pass away. I prayed for the Holy spirit to guide me so that I may know the message of God to me. I know God never abandoned me for He do so, I will no longer be here writing and doing my work.

A Mother is Always a Mother

Most of my life as Christian I am not really convinced that Mother Mary can help us in every way. Though I am Catholic, I am not a devoted one or something I can call a believer of the Catholic Teaching. I always believe that when I pray I pray directly to God and I will not use another person just to intercede for us. I never believe in that thing. What made me changed? One time when my girlfriend came to visit me, who is more religious and more faithful Catholic than me brought a little image with the Virgin Mother on it. It was not her intention to give to me, She just carries on her purse for whatever reason. I was curious so I asked her if she could give to me so that I will pray on it as there was a short prayer at the back of the image and I was confused it she can really help. Actually, it is a short novena prayer, so I prayed to God then I pray that short novena prayer. I ask her to intercede for my prayers that may the Christ listen to it for I believe I have done something wrong and I am not worthy of Christ and of God's Ears. So there I prayed, then the revelation came to me. For only two days that I prayed for that short novena prayer, luck came to me. A deluge of new contracts including my girlfriend's account have been activated and my internet is back(not the usual connection but at least it is back and we have enough money already to avail the usual connection.) As of the moment I am still lavishing on my luck and I really thank the Holy Mother of God who has been a great help to me and of course to God who has the only power to grant whatever petitions I have asked in my prayers and of course the Lord Jesus Christ who is always there for me.

I hope I have at least shared a bit of information that may help you. Thank you for reading this article. God bless us all.

Start Your Devotion Now

It really works for me and I am hoping that you should try to. I meant no offense for those who did not believe but I am encouraging for those who have faith.
