(20:31) Break 1
Gosia - Miracle with my devotion. My mom lived in Poland. Found out she was in ICU. She had been bleeding and didn't know where from. Went to chapel and begged Mary to save my mom. Next day, found out they didn't know what happened. All tests were normal. Blamed it on lab error. It's increased my devotion to Mary.
