Lost Souls Public Memorial Project holds virtual recitation of slaves’ names; connection made to modern-day issues of racism By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

ore than 200 years ago, Middlesex County Judge Jacob Van Wickle used his political power to steal and sell nearly 200 African Americans into slavery. To honor those who were enslaved, the Lost Souls Public Memorial Project held its third annual Recitation of Names event to continue honoring Van Wickle’s victims. Founded in 2017, the Lost Souls Public Memorial Project is a grassroots, community-based effort to remember almost 200 African Americans whose freedom was stolen by Van Wickle in 1818. The project would build a memorial at the East Brunswick Community Arts Center, according to the Rev. Karen Johnston of the Unitarian Society of East Brunswick. “The project was established to uncover this whitewashed history, to raise community awareness and to build a public memorial so that the people who have come to be known as the ‘lost souls’ would never again be forgotten,” Johnston said, “so that we would fulfill our moral obligation to remember them back home was founded to be a collective act of liberatory memory.” The New Brunswick Area Branch of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the New Jersey Chapter of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society, and The Unitarian Society are the primary partners, along with other community groups and individuals, working to bring this memorial into being, according to a prepared statement. “The primary purpose of the is the third recitation of the names of those individuals who were lost as a result of an illegal slave ring that practiced here in the New Jersey

area,” said Project Member Toni Hendrix, who is also an officer for the NAACP’s New Brunswick Area Branch. More than 95 attendees from around the U.S. attended the event on May 30, which was held via video conference. Attendees included Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, Assemblywoman Nancy Pinkin, Mayor Brad Cohen and East Brunswick Councilwoman Sharon Sullivan.

Coleman and Pinkin both vocalized their support for the project. “Our intention in pursuing this mission is always to center the lost souls and their experience over that of the corrupt judge or the network of white men and some white women who made this heinous act possible,” Johnston said. “Our intention is always, always to ensure that the perspective of members of local black communities are

centered in the process and in the project.” Using a pre-recorded video, project members, non-members, Sullivan, Cohen and Pinkin recited the names and ages of the nearly 200 victims. In the video, a metal bowl, which when hit produced a chiming sound, was used to symbolize the victims who have not yet been identified. (Continued on page 15)

Professional basketball player gets help from local trainer to get career back on track By STEVE BASSIN

Staff Writer

arcus Patterson was back to living his dream. The Bronx, New York, native took a chance and used $3,000 of his own money to travel to Portugal last summer to play in a basketball tour. It turned into Patterson signing a professional basketball contract to play for the Portimonense Sporting Clube of the Primeira Liga, and going on to having a great season. Patterson scored a team-high 21.7 points a game and was the league’s third leading scorer before the season was cut short due to the global coronavirus pandemic. All that success seemed out of reach for Patterson back in 2018 when he was recovering from an ACL injury and managing feelings of depression. The Sage College of Albany alum had just returned to the United States after earning his master’s degree in applied science at the University of East London where he also played for the school’s basketball team. It was a big move overall for Patterson. His mother had recently moved to New Jersey and Piscataway would now be his home. The move to Piscataway ended up being the best thing for him, he said. Patterson rose to success at Sage where he earned first-team all-conference honors as a senior and was named the school’s 2016-17 Male Athlete of the Year. His stay in London showed him he had the ability to live his dream of playing professional basketball. “I didn’t see myself playing professionally until my senior year,” Patterson said. “I had a really good senior year and got the chance to go overseas to London and play at the college level there. I got the chance to practice against the London Lions, who are a professional basketball team there as well. It was a great experience.” Now down in New Jersey, Patterson searched all over Central Jersey to try and connect with a trainer who could help him take his game to the next level for another shot at playing basketball overseas. Through the help of Instagram he found East Brunswick native Joe Ross. Ross had been training youth, high school, college and professional basketball players for the last three years. Like Patterson, Ross was a Division III basketball player himself, playing at Itha-

ca College, and was a three-year varsity player for the East Brunswick High School boys basketball team. During the summer of his college years, Ross worked as a basketball counselor at Lakeview Day Camp, East Brunswick Basketball Camp and Hoop Group Elite Basketball Camp. His work with his brother, Matt, and other members of the East Brunswick squad helped the team go 18-9 during their 2015-16 campaign. The East Brunswick High School alum also had the opportunity to be a student intern for the Cornell University Men’s Basketball team during the 2014-15 season. Once he graduated college and came

back home to East Brunswick, Ross started training more East Brunswick athletes like Amir Bell and Rob Ukawuba, who were both Division I college basketball players at the time, and had aspirations of playing professionally after college. That grew to Ross training other Division I players in the area like Saint Joseph High School alum Quenton DeCosey and North Brunswick native Jared Nickens, who both have gone on to play professional basketball. “I’m always available to help anyone take their game up a level,” Ross said. “I try to help out kids from the area get better as much as I can. I’m always trying to help.”

Crossword.................................................... 13

Patterson liked what he saw from Ross and the two decided to team up. It was a perfect match as Patterson was able to improve his game under Ross’ training and build a good relationship with the East Brunswick native. During his college days, Patterson played as a stretch power-forward most of the time. Ross knew that Patterson’s height at around 6-foot-3 would make him a little undersized for the position at the professional level. He thought the best bet for Patterson was to transition to being more of a wing player, meaning helping him improve his shooting and his ball handling skills. “It really helped me take my game to the next level,” Patterson said. “It helped me attack the basket more and be a facilitator by getting more guys on my team involved.” Being able to train with professional players like Jesse Jones and Sterling Gibbs was also important in helping Patterson improve his game, he said. All those tools, Ross believed, would help Patterson become even more of a playmaker. After Patterson signed his contract to play in Portugal, he FaceTimed Ross to tell him the good news and the trainer couldn’t have been happier for his client. “I was so happy for him,” Ross said. “He is one of the hardest working guys in the gym. He is always working out at game speed and is locked in. Felt great to see his hard work pay off.” Patterson took advantage of his opportunity in his first year in Portugal, earning second-team all league honors. Because of COVID-19, Patterson is back in Piscataway working out with the resources he has available to keep him ready for his next opportunity at the professional level. Ross has since continued to train basketball players at every level in the area and around the state. Last summer, he held the Joe Ross Shooting and Skills Camp for children ages 8-17 at the Central Jersey Basketball Sports Complex in Morganville. He said he hopes to hold the camp again this summer if restrictions are lifted. There is still an unknown with the pandemic, but Patterson said he is not letting it slow down his excitement to get back on the court the first chance he gets. “I’m hungry to get back on the court,” Patterson said. “I’m trying to improve my game the best I can and compete at the highest level.”

East Brunswick superintendent says he is ‘heartbroken’ over Floyd’s death By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

EAST BRUNSWICK – In light of peaceful protests and violence erupting across the United States, Superintendent Victor Valeski emphasized the importance of diversity in the East Brunswick Public School District. George Floyd, 46, was an unarmed African American man who died after Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for several minutes while he was handcuffed on the ground. Floyd’s

death has sparked nationwide peaceful protests against police brutality, as well as looting and violence. “I needed time to reflect. … Our confinement and isolation have given each of us and our families a front-row seat to the social unrest unfolding throughout our cities and country. In addition to television coverage, we are all subjected to continuous doses of social media imagery and commentary,” Valeski said in a prepared statement. “As your school leader, I am heartbro-

ken over the senseless loss of life, … over George Floyd and all those before him. Countless peaceful public assemblies represent the pain and suffering felt throughout our society,” Valeski said. Valeski said East Brunswick Public Schools has a rich tapestry represented by people of many colors, religions, cultures and genders. Collectively, this diversity is what makes #EBSchoolsStrong. Equity has been a priority for East Brunswick but it comes with the acknowledgment that this type of work is continuous.

“I wish I had all the answers. We can choose to be blind to the differences among us. Instead, I have a request. … I ask you to join me in the celebration of our differences and the opportunities they present,” Valeski said in the statement. “In addition to Excellence in Academics, Athletics and Arts, it is time to add and maintain excellence in our school atmosphere as part of our school and societal narrative … for our students … for our families … for our entire East Brunswick school community.”

Milltown mayor wants residents to ‘feel safe, accepted’ By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

MILLTOWN – Mayor Trina Mehr said she wants everyone who calls the borough home to “feel safe, accepted and free to speak openly” in the wake of the events surrounding the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. “I cannot presume and fully understand or walk in another’s shoes,” she said. “What I can do is listen to those who are rightfully upset and learn more about what we can do as a community.” Floyd, an African American man, died after Minneapolis Police Department Officer Derek Chauvin, a white man, knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes after pinning him to the ground during an arrest on May 25. Chauvin was charged with second-degree murder on May 29. Three other officers, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng, were charged with aiding and abetting Floyd’s murder on June 3. Mehr discussed the events of Minneapolis during her borough updates with residents on June 3. “[Floyd’s] death and many others like it disturb and sadden me,” she said. “It’s not surprising people are outraged. Of course violence and violence at protests often injures those who are already violated. The looting we’ve seen is unacceptable. However, as Americans we have a right to protest peacefully.” She quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “In the end, we will not remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” “So I will not stay silent. … I know many of you have been discussing this very sensitive issue,” she said, adding she is available to listen to people’s experiences and start a dialogue.

Jamesburg mayor, council take stand against injustice and intolerance JAMESBURG – With some social distancing restrictions still in place due to the COVID-19 crisis, along with statewide and nationwide protests occurring in response to racial injustice, Jamesburg Mayor Marlene Lowande and the Borough Council issued a statement asking residents to stand together. “We are a community that stands together. Never has this quality been more important than in times of crisis. We are all hurting. We are all wounded. We are all scared. We all react differently to fear and pain, and too often that puts us at odds with one another. As public servants, we are here to help our community come together and stand together proudly through our darkest days. “A threat to our public health has closed our public places. Those pillars of our community, our businesses, our schools,

our library, our events, are not available for us to gather in or around. Despite our distancing and isolation, we have watched our community become more caring, more giving and more connected than ever. “When we are able to gather again, we want every resident and business to be with us, bonded more strongly because of what we have endured together. “As tensions rise and divides deepen, we strive for our community to demonstrate that despite differences, diverse races, varied religions, generation gaps, language barriers, all sexual orientations and gender identities and every part of the political spectrum. We live in harmony to care for and support one another. Our first responders protect our citizens now, as always, with regard for everyone’s equal rights and humanity. Our police department is the cornerstone of our commitment

to a safe, just and peaceful community. “Although we are separated physically, we are together against injustice and intolerance. We respect all creeds, beliefs and backgrounds, and we uphold the rights of all citizens to peacefully express their minds and exercise their rights.

Cranbury notified by DOT of reinvestigation into Monroe truck ban ordinance By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

he New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) will reexamine Monroe Township’s potential weight restriction for Cranbury Station Road. The weight restriction is part of Monroe’s truck ban ordinance enforcing no more than 8 tons on commercial trucks that are permitted to travel on Cranbury Station Road. For the ban to go into effect it needs both county and state approval. Cranbury Township officials now await the DOT’s decision set to come down in July, after the department’s Bureau of Traffic Engineering (BTE) conducts its own traffic study and field investigation. The BTE will analyze the new data during June. State officials also stated that supporting resolutions must also be submitted in the reinvestigation from municipalities that would be affected by the ban. “We were actually quite surprised with the DOT’s decision. We thought this was a done deal. I am pleased that they are reexamining one of the three county roads,”

Cranbury Mayor Matt Scott said. “I am still perplexed as to why they reconsidered it. We are still optimistic that the state’s prior decision will uphold during this reexamination. The DOT will require a resolution from the adjoining towns to approve the restriction which will not do.” He added that the issue needs a regional approach to a solution and the traffic study might not accurately showcase traffic because of COVID-19. “In theory truck traffic might be there, but there will not be as much car traffic. I question the integrity of the study if you are going to do it during COVID-19,” Scott said. “We need to work with the companies on truck traffic, work with the state on a solution and bring everyone to the table. Right now we are not happy with this current decision. I will be doing everything I can as mayor to maintain Cranbury’s quality of life, so that the roads are not inundated with truck traffic.” DOT officials had decided in late April to not approve Monroe’s truck ban ordinance that, if approved, would have put weight restrictions on Cranbury Station Road, Prospect Plains Road and Cranbury-

Half Acre Road, all of which are county routes. State Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti stated in a May 22 letter to Middlesex County, Cranbury and Monroe officials, that DOT would revisit the restriction for just Cranbury Station Road. “We are pleased the state Department of Transportation is considering our proposed truck traffic ban on Cranbury Station Road, a critical step in our ongoing effort to remove trucks weighing more than 8 tons on three major arteries in Monroe that connect into Cranbury,” Monroe Mayor Gerald Tamburro said. “Unfortunately, government does not move as quickly as we all would like, but this is an important key step. Tamburro added that he is hopeful about a final resolution. “I am optimistic that the state, county and municipality can all work together on a fair and final resolution to the concerns of residents living near all three roads who have been dealing with this unnecessary and growing truck problem for years,” he said.

Cranbury Committeeman James Taylor stated that a ban would significantly increase traffic on Cranbury roads and Route 130. “The DOT itself highlighted that a ban enacts a circuitous route for truck traffic. In simple terms Cranbury roadways and Route 130 will experience exponential increases in traffic if the ban is adopted as trucks bound for Monroe will not risk the time delay of being stopped and missing delivery windows,” he said. “It is an established fact that thousands of cars a day travel between Monroe and Cranbury from points originating in Monroe and now the trucks originating and destined for locations will come into Cranbury.” Taylor added that Cranbury’s health, safety and quality of life will be irreparably harmed by if the ban proceeds. “Our narrow roadways cannot handle this volume of traffic. I am disappointed that our county engineer at the request of the freeholders would appeal the DOT ruling based on questionable data provided by Monroe and ignore the information we have submitted,” he said.

OPINION

A message from the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey

he images of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis are deeply disturbing. Mr. Floyd’s death is being investigated not only by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI in Minneapolis, but by the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights division, as it should be. As county prosecutors entrusted with

the solemn responsibility of acting as the chief law enforcement officer in our respective counties, we recognize that so much of law enforcement’s relationship with the community is built upon trust. We trust the members of our community to follow the law and cooperate with our efforts to enforce it; our community has the right to trust that they will be treated fairly and

justly by the officers who serve them. In New Jersey, the law enforcement community is fortunate to have developed a positive relationship with our residents. Our police officers and state troopers routinely conduct themselves with the utmost professionalism and respect for the members of the communities they serve. This has been particularly apparent over the past few months as our officers have managed the added responsibility of enforcing significant restrictions on our normal activities with sensitivity to the stress that our residents are experiencing in the midst of this public health crisis. We believe that New Jersey is home to some of the finest law enforcement officers in the country. The County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey is committed to ensuring that members of our local, county and state police forces provide fair treatment and justice to all our residents. Anyone who believes they have been victimized by a member of law enforcement as a result of bias or other improper behavior is encouraged to take the matter up with that officer’s chief, or contact their county prosecutor’s office directly so their complaint can be thoroughly investigated. We are privileged to have the leadership of New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, who just this past fall issued a comprehensive package of policy initiatives designed to reinforce and clarify the Garden State’s commitment to excellence in policing. These statewide reforms are intended to promote the culture of professionalism, accountability and transparency that are hallmarks of New Jersey’s best law enforcement agencies. Through Gre-

wal’s “Excellence in Policing Initiative,” the state is building a national model for strengthening accountability and trust between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve. In closing, we will keep George Floyd, his family and friends in our thoughts and prayers. In addition to being county prosecutors, we are all part of the citizenry we serve and as such, we pledge our continued commitment to ensuring justice for each and every resident of our state, to holding all offenders, police officers included, accountable for their crimes, and improving relations between law enforcement and the community.

South River council will reorganize Council will submit grant application inactive borough committees for library upgrades in South River By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

SOUTH RIVER – Spearheading an initiative to reactivate the borough’s inactive committees, Councilman Tony Ciulla spoke about a proposed plan for restructuring the boards. The borough currently has 14 boards/ committees/commissions. The Borough Council discussed the proposed plan to reorganize the committees on May 26 during the council meeting via video conference. Ciulla said he wants some of the borough’s committees to be restructured due to inactivity. One committee has not had a meeting in a year-and-a-half. “Some of the committees or boards of commissions do have separate standing authority. So before we start making any changes, updates or combining of things … we thought we might do it the right way and legally. So we have asked [Borough Attorney Andrea Wyatt] to take a look at this and she has come back with her recommendations on how it can be done,” Council President Raymond Eppinger said. Step one of the proposing plan, Ciulla said, would be for the borough to reach out to the various committees, boards and

commission to ask its members if they wish to continue serving or resign. Eppinger said step two would involve replacing the members who choose to resign with new members who are willing to serve, hence reorganizing the various boards and committees. “We understand that not only during this time, but it gets more and more difficult to find people who can spare time to serve … but let’s do step one,” Eppinger said. “Find out who’s interested and as we’re doing that we can start working on restructuring these committees and see if some of them can be combined or making sure that the council … can at least oversee to help and guide them in terms of whatever needs to be done.” When the council sends out a letter to contact various members, Ciulla said the letter should include a due date as to when members must respond by. “Maybe 10 days before the last meeting in June [the council] must have an answer back so we can move forward at our June meeting to start getting other people on these committees for the summer,” Ciulla said, “so we can start doing things that can benefit the borough.”

By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

SOUTH RIVER – Seeking funding for various improvements, the Borough Council approved a resolution authorizing the South River Public Library to submit a New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act application. “[This] would allow for a 50% matching grant money for certain types of projects within the library. Most of the libraries in the state have been feverishly working to try and get ready for this. South River is also one of them we have a couple of projects. Obviously, if we could get the grant money that would be wonderful, and we are preparing for that,” Council President Raymond Eppinger said during a council meeting on May 26, when the resolution was approved. The South River Public Library intends to a submit a 2020 New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act application for funding for improvements to the library, specifically, replacement of the HVAC units, according to the council. The application documents will include design plans and estimates by Arcari-Iovi-

no Architects reviewed and recommended by the library Board of Trustees. The estimated project cost is $271,400 and the grant application amount is $135,700, according to the council. The borough and library will split the remaining cost, each providing $67,850 upon full funding of the grant request, according to the council. Due to state-issued social distancing restrictions, the library has remained closed for almost three months. Library Director Evalina Erbe said the library is not able to open until the governor lifts the closing order. “At the last [library] Board of Trustees meeting – and I know we have also been exchanging emails with administration, the mayor and myself – about planning for their eventual reopening and dealing with the social distancing and the guidelines that are going to be set up by the state,” Eppinger said. “We plan on being prepared as much as we possibly can.” Despite residents not being able to make in-person visits, Eppinger said residents still have access to library resources and should visit the library’s website for more information.

Township officials recognized Rose “Rosie” Bromberg, 106, a resident at The Gardens at Monroe, who beat COVID-19. In a video on The Gardens of Monroe’s social media page, Bromberg held a sign “Beat COVID-19 @ 106” as staff cheered around her. Bromberg grew up in Paterson where she worked in a candy store with her parents making ice cream sodas. Her favorite childhood activity was dancing. She lived in Florida for some time before moving back to New Jersey, officials said.

Project (Continued from page 1)

New Brunswick Area Branch of NAACP President Bruce Morgan said the branch is proud to partner with the project to help honor and remember the African American men, women, children and even babies who had their lives stolen. “These lost souls had their lives stolen by immoral, unscrupulous and evil men. In the last 30 days, the deaths of Ahmed Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd are reminders of the legacy of these evil men,” Morgan said. “We must honor the lost souls by using their stories to destroy the legacy of lies and deceit, created by these evil men and prevent any new senseless deaths. “We take this time every year to give these lost souls a name so they are not just another nameless person totally under the thumb of oppression and their dignity as human beings are restored. I hope and pray that our remembrance will come to the spirit of these lost souls. We pray our remembrance will enable themselves to become the embodiment of the words from the African proverb that says, ‘When death comes to find you may it find you alive,” Morgan said. Project Historian Kristal Langford said Van Wickle tapped into an already existing infrastructure of slave trafficking. Recognizing the possibility to reap financial reward from this practice, he orchestrated the Van Winkle slave ring with his family and

political network. “One of the most egregious acts against New Jersey’s black population occurred in 1818. Government officials who held offices of public trust exploited a series of laws that were put in place to not only protect the rights of the slaves but also guarantee that their children would one day be free,” Langford said. One of the chief architects of the slave ring, Langford said Van Winkle served as a judge on the Court of Common Pleas in Middlesex County and he was also a resident of present-day East Brunswick. “[Van Wickle], along with his brother in law Charles Morgan, also a government official for the State of Louisiana, concocted a scheme to secure as many enslaved blacks, or just blacks period, as possible to man the grounds on Morgan’s his newly acquired plantation in Pointe Coupee, Louisiana,” Langford said. Considering Van Wickle was well aware of the laws, Langford said he knew that Morgan would be prohibited from removing any enslaved persons out of the state, even if they gave their consent. So he planted his son, Nicolas Van Winkle, as the middleman to mediate transactions. Another person of interest, Langford said, was New Jersey’s eighth Gov. Issac Williamson, who at that time, had connections to the New Jersey jail system. “With Africans and African Americans in the state, they always have to prove their status. So we had African Americans who live to work in close proximity of the en-

SENTINEL 15

slaved population,” Langford said. “So if a person had to go to the store, or to the market, they probably sometimes have to walk through or pass through small pockets of black communities.” Langford said with enslaved people walking through certain communities along with free people, if the free person was approached by a slave catcher, they would have to prove their freedom and if they could not prove their freedom, then they would be in prison. “After 10 days, if [an enslaved] person wasn’t picked up by their slave master, then he or she would be placed on an auction to be freed up for purchase,” Langford said. “So considering the governor had access to the jail system with Van Wickle, he actually acquired some black people from the jail.” With peaceful protesting and violence erupting across the country in the wake of the death of George Floyd, Mayor Brad Cohen said the U.S. has a true problem with an inherently unfair criminal justice system that disproportionately treats African Americans, mostly males, in a most unfair and discriminatory manner. “We see this in criminal cases, wrongful arrests, jail time, plea deals, and access to fair representation and at its extreme. We see events such as the killing of George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement and this must be addressed,” Cohen said. “At the same time, we need to recognize that bad behavior by some members of our law enforcement community should not cast a

shadow on all of our officers.” Cohen said most police officers commit their lives to providing safety and protection to the community that they serve. They work hard, committing to a brotherhood of fellow men and women, upholding the highest standards to which everyone all aspires. Most law enforcement officers look at the events of the past week, and all others that preceded Minneapolis, disgusted. “As a father of a 30-year-old son, I take for granted that my son can go out for a safe jog, walk into a store without someone thinking he’s a thief, getting caught speeding and not end up arrested, and certainly never fear that a chance encounter with law enforcement ends up with me holding nothing but a picture for memories,” Cohen said. “For the vast majority of African American men who have sons like I do, that is the reality they must face here in the United States today in 2020.” “Having now spent over three years as mayor of East Brunswick I can tell you that I have a very close relationship with our police department that services, our township, and I know there is a code of conduct and a very high standard that these officers must uphold,” Cohen said. “We spend a great deal of time being extremely selective in the search for new enforcement professionals. These are dedicated folks that swear their lives to our community.” For more information about the project, visit www.lostsoulsmemorialnj.org. Contact Vashti Harris at vharris@newspapermedia.com.

Novenas PRAYER IS POWERFUL Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine of splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this petition. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse in thee (3Xs). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3Xs). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. + Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and publish prayer after petition is granted. Do not despair. Additional advice and petition. Pray the Rosary regularly. F.A.M.
