"I know that I can fully rely on the Virgin Mary!"

It was a beautiful fall morning, and our family lunch was dragging on. I stepped out of the restaurant with my oldest daughter to get some fresh air. There was a magnificent neoclassical church in the village square, so I decided to take my daughter there to pray and light some candles. In my heart, I asked the Virgin Mary to watch over my family. As it was summer, I often left my daughters in the care of my in-laws, so that they could enjoy a short stay with their grandmother. 

Back in Paris that evening, my mother-in-law called my wife to tell her that a serious accident had occurred. Our daughter Claire had been taken to hospital by helicopter, after falling 5 or 6 meters from a footbridge. I was shocked, because I know that a fall from such a height has serious consequences. She'd probably be disabled for life... I even thought that she could die. 

When the doctor asked to speak to me, I was terrified! He told me that Victoire hadn't been hurt after all, and had no bruises. Nothing, absolutely nothing! Not even a scratch! What a miracle!

I was shocked by all these announcements, and could hardly believe it... Mary protected my child as I had asked her to do. She watched over Claire and answered my prayer and that of her older sister. It profoundly affected me.

Now I know that I can fully rely on the Virgin Mary. I'm not asking you to believe it. This is the truth. The plain, beautiful truth.

Mary, Mediatrix of all graces, watch over us!
