Embracing Marian Devotion in Daily Life
Glory be to God and honor to Mother Mary! The Lord has truly done it for me, and I will forever sing the praises of Immaculate Mary.
My journey began in 2023, a year filled with heartache and loss. In one year, I experienced three devastating miscarriages. The first was on January 1, 2023, followed by the second on March 17, and the third on September 17. After each loss, I felt completely broken, despite my daily prayers of the Rosary and Divine Mercy with my mother. I didn’t know where else to turn.
But in September 2023, shortly after my third miscarriage, while browsing Facebook, I stumbled upon a shared link for the Divine Mercy prayer group. Desperate for hope, I joined and began participating in the morning rosary and Divine Mercy prayers every day. I also shared the prayer link with friends, family, and other groups, trusting that through faith and the intercession of Mother Mary, things would change.
I drank blessed water after each prayer session and applied it to my womb, trusting that the Lord would hear my cries. After the Marian consecration on December 8, 2023, I began noticing changes in my body. To my amazement, when I checked at home, I was pregnant! The hospital later confirmed that I was six weeks along.
My pregnancy progressed well, though the doctors advised me to undergo a C-section at 37 weeks. I refused, placing my full trust in the Lord and Mother Mary. On August 14, 2024, just one day before the Feast of the Assumption, I delivered my baby naturally!
I am endlessly grateful to God and to Fr. Paintsil for leading us in the daily prayers of the Rosary and Divine Mercy. May the Almighty God continue to protect and guide you in your vocation.
Amen, Amen, Amen!
