FAVORS
Many people, praying Eduardo and Laura, have attested that they
received particular “favors”

It helped Beatriz very much to know that Eduardino, Eduardo
13
and Laura’s third child was disabled. «Sometimes I have moments of
inner rebellion, instead of seeing this situation as an opportunity for
holiness. All of us who are in this situation think that you have to live
it in order to realize it. They have been through it and because of this
I feel Laura very close. She teaches me that this son is a treasure and
helps us all on our way to Heaven».
Beatriz began placing a long-term intention in Laura’s hands:
the future of her son Javier; then she learned that her husband had long
been asking the same thing of Eduardo. «He recites the prayer of the
prayer card every day. For parents it is a permanent concern to think
about the future of a sick child, when he becomes an adult and we will
no longer be there. For the time being, we noticed his help in daily
life. Our family is undergoing a transformation. We all have a special
14
grace to be better, to be very united and to love each other more» .
