After my husband died, I immediately had a grotto housing an image of the Virgin Mary built in front of our home I felt the presence of the Virgin around through the image, protecting me from all difficulty and harm.
When my only child Archie got married, he moved out with his family to their own condo. I was left alone especially in the evenings after our stay-out helps had gone home. Though alone, I was not afraid because I know the virgin was with me.
Chastity was my last bastion of strength and dignity. In the midst of hunger and emotional difficulty after my husband died I managed to resist temptations because her image was always a reminder to me to keep my chastity for my Faith in her son, Jesus Christ.
By the grace of her Son, Jesus, we were blessed enough financially that I was able to afford to stay in a nursing home the owners, and the staff and some patients sharing my devotion to the Virgin.
