Divine Tech Support

Our Lady of Charity prayer card.

Last Saturday evening, I installed a MS Windows "Important" Update on my computer (in an attempt to be diligent and responsible).

On Sunday, I was annoyed but not shocked when my computer failed to boot up properly. It stalled while installing Windows. This has happened previously. In the past I was able to start in "Safe" mode and use a restore point in order to return to "normal."

This time my usual techniques were not successful. I tried in vain throughout Sunday and then again Monday evening. The possibility that I might not be able to restore my computer began to sink in. There was a bit of solace in that since my computer is so old (at least 8 years), it is probably time for a new computer. Still, I am reluctant to be forced to accept Windows 10 or go to Apple. Both are evil organizations in my opinion. But what can you do?

Recently, I have been praying to Our Lady of Charity using a prayer card identical to the one pictured above. The prayer written on the back is:

Prayer To

"Our Lady Of Charity"

Oh, Holy Virgin and

Lady of Charity,

with happiness and humility

I come to your feet!

⩫

Virgin of Miracles!

You cure the sick,

you give hope where there is despair,

you give strength to the afflicted, preserve

from disgrace our families, protect the youth,

guard our children.

⩫

No one can explain

all the miracles and fortitude

you give to the souls that come to you.

We, your children,

thank you for all your graces.

Amen.

So, Tuesday morning I prayed the prayer and asked that Our Lady intercede to restore my computer or, if that was not possible, to grant me peace and confidence to get a new one. Then I placed the prayer card at the computer.

After letting the computer sit idle all day Tuesday, on Wednesday evening, I said another prayer and turned on the power to the computer. To my amazement, something different happened and I was able to get to "Safe" mode and eventually restore things to (almost) normal (i.e., workable condition). WOW!

It had to be a miracle. Nothing had changed since my unsuccessful attempts except for the prayer for the intercession of Our Lady of Charity.. I heartily recommend clicking on the links to learn more about Our Lady of Charity. Thank you Dear Lady!
