moking habit

November, 1981
Dear Workers of Our Lady,
One of our new members went to the Shrine with us October 31st. It was his first time. He has been a heavy smoker for 35 years and unable to break the habit.
Since returning from the Shrine he hasn't had a smoke, and has no desire to smoke. He said he didn't ask Our Blessed Mother for that grace. Of course, She knew how he wished to break the habit.
Sincerely,

from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Dear Veronica,
     I started smoking at 18 years old. I always loved the smell of smoke. By age 62 I smoked 3-4 packs a day. I even woke up at night from sleep desiring a cigarette. I was addicted. I had a terrible temper which I would unlease on anyone who would dare to take it away. I`d tell my friends leave me to my one bad poison. One day I fell down in the street twice. I was having a stroke. I prayed so hard to Our Blessed Mother in the hospital, to help me not to smoke. I couldn't do it on my own. I even went to be hypnotized. It didn`t work.
     I`d close my eyes take a deep breath, kiss the holy rose and pray. I could hardly believe I had no desire.
     I never had withdrawals of any bad day. All my friends & relatives can`t believe it.
     It's 2 years and my health is fine. I tell everyone about my miracle & blessing from Our Lady of Roses.
     God Bless & keep you well, from all harm.
      I pray the roses are sent all over the world to help more people who need it more than I. I wish I could meet you so I can tell many other things that have happened to me and others. Thank you for caring.
     Please send me more roses to give to others.
