today sHe is a perky smilinG Four-montH-old BaBy Girl

I have been married for three years. At the beginning of my
marriage I had several miscarriages. Since they were recurrent, my
husband and I turned to Tomás and Paquita, who had already
intervened on our behalf once before.
A few months later I was pregnant again. Given my history, I
was under close medical supervision. Everything seemed to be going
normally and we were starting to relax, when they realized that I had
no more amniotic fluid and the fetus showed a significant delay in
the growth of its head and there were other alarming symptoms. The
outlook was not good and the situation was complex. It was necessary
to keep the fetus in the uterus as long as possible so that it could
continue to develop. Moreover, the baby would probably have been
born disabled and the specialists never offered us a positive prospect.
[...] With all our relatives and friends, we began to pray to the Lord
through the intercession of Tomás and Paquita, so that our daughter
would live.
Josephine was born very prematurely, at six months and one

week. Little by little her test results turned out to be normal. Today
she is a perky smiling four-month-old baby girl. We know that
Tomás and Paquita have accompanied us during these long months
of uncertainty and anguish and that they intervened on our behalf. We
are writing to express our gratitude. (M. and R.) 9
