Blessed Guadalupe Ortiz

Just before getting off my bus, I received a phone call from a friend of mine. I got off the bus talking to her, and suddenly realized I had left my suitcase on the bus.

For more than twelve years, my mother's health insurance reimbursed her for an expensive medication prescribed as part of her ongoing treatment for acute pancreatitis.

Acute pneumonia complicated by smoking led me to fear the worst about my mother's state of health.

On 18 May 2019, the day of Guadalupe's beatification, Veronica was finally located by Chilean Navy rescue services after being adrift in the Pacific Ocean for eight hours. Her parents are convinced that it was through Guadalupe's intercession.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, my brother lost his job in March. In August, I “met” Guadalupe online.

We desperately needed to sell our old house in order to buy a new one. I didn't even know who Guadalupe was, but I randomly discovered her on the Opus Dei website.
