God's Protection

I was born in Malta 1947 to a maltese mother and father an English soldier,
had
met and married there and I was born 9 months later with septecemia,
with no
cure, I was left in a military hospital to die, was baptised and received
the
last rites. Mum asked for Our Ladys intercession that if I lived I
would be
named after her. Mum was quite wealthy being head cook in the dock
yard. She had to take me away from the hospital, she then payed for a specialist
to come from England who said all he could try was penicilin which was
only used for amputees but I was dying so nothing to lose, had 15 boils
on my body and weighed only 5lbs, he lanced them and was put in a bath
of salt. I was the first baby to actually have penicilin.Slowly my temperature
was going down, I could only have goats milk as I was so weak
Am now 64yrs named Miriam (arabic for Mary) I know it was The Lord who
did the miracle, but it was the Blessed Mother who prayed for me. Many
things have happened in my life where I needed a miracle and the Lord has
never let me down, when I go to mass I love to receive communion which
is my spiritual medicine. I also have a strong bond with Our Lady and have
dedicated my children and grandaughters to Her for Her protection, I am
proud of them as they are good caring people. I also feel She is the one
who took me to Her Son, Now I have a great love for Our Precious Lord,
which I can't explain, but my life has a meaning now and without Him in
my life, I feel I would be "empty". Amen
