I had a traveling image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in my store. A picture of the image was given to me and I kept it in my prayer book and prayed the memorare to Our Lady of Guadalupe every day.

In 2006, I was diagnosed with Barretts Esophagus, a pre-cancerous condition, and I had to go every two years for an endoscopy. I hated those tests, so I started to touch the picture of Our Lady and touch my throat and asked her to take this condition away, so I would be relieved of the anxiety and the tests.

I had my last endoscopy two years ago and the doctor said the condition had disappeared. Thank you, my beloved Lady of Guadalupe.
