My husband has just returned from the UK for a 2 month long training. We have been trying to have a baby for the past 5 years.
A few months ago, my cousin who is 40 years old got pregnant after praying a Novena to Our Lady of the Milk (Our Lady of La Leche) that consists of
saying the 3rd Joyful mystery (Birth of our Lord) and partaking of some of the white powder taken from the Milk Cave in Bethlehem. They didn’t do
anything else. They have been trying for a 2nd baby for 3 years and she was blessed by the Lord even in her advanced age.
I am 37 years old. Praying for the past 5 years. But then again, maybe actively praying for a baby for the past 3. This year, I also prayed to Our Lady of La Leche and started praying the rosary as often as I could since May. So — its been 9 months. I also started again the Twin Hearts Novena and this January was the 9th month as well. Last Christmas Day, we had an intrauterine insemination. Its a fertility procedure that was supposed to be scheduled for the 26th or 27th but at the last minute was advance to none other than Christmas Day. Our doctor said, she viewed it as a sacrifice offered to the Lord to be coming to work on a Christmas Day. It was only twice in her entire career that she has done so. I therefore believe that it is a sign. From Our Lady of La Leche.
Our doctor annointed my forehand with a sign of the Cross before she left the hospital on that Christmas Day IUI. I have countless people offering their prayers for our hopes to have this Christmas baby. I am now towards the end of our two week wait. Anxious. Hopeful. Prayerful.
This year was a very challenging year. Lots of heartaches yet lots of miraculously answered prayers. At times when the answer comes, I am so stunned that I don’t know how to take it or react. I want the world to know that in this state of the world’s scepticism and hopelessness — miracles happen when you pray. Especially — most especially when you pray the rosary. I want to document these miracles because I feel they are so ordinary in its request yet extraordinary when it happens. The rosary is truly a powerful prayer.
And so, without knowing how to blog….what a blog is…and how to make it look like a blog. I finally sat down and started it. To fulfill the desire of my heart to make the daily miracles known to the world. Believe.
