North Brunswick celebrates ‘rich, wonderful’ history By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

The North Brunswick Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services held a Valentine’s Day craft project at Veterans Park on Feb. 6.

lthough the 250th anniversary of the founding of North Brunswick is eight years away, current township officials are discussing ways to begin the celebration. According to information provided by Councilwoman Amanda Guadagnino during the Feb. 16 Township Council meeting, the Native Americans who lived in the New York area were pushed to New Jersey when the Dutch settled in the Colonies. The Lenape tribes settled in Middlesex County. Then, as the Dutch moved into New Jersey, they pushed the Native Americans west to Pennsylvania and Ohio. The first known permanent settlement in the area that would eventually become North Brunswick was recorded in 1761. North Brunswick was initially recognized as a municipality by Middlesex County on Feb. 28, 1779, marking its founding date. In 1784, North Brunswick had a (Continued on page 11)

More than 200 Holocaust survivors in Middlesex County can receive assistance from national partnership

s the pandemic approaches its year mark, Holocaust survivors across the United States continue to face new and renewed daily struggles. COVID-19 has only further exacerbated and enhanced the challenges that this vulnerable population faces, according to KAVOD SHEF (Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund). Health and safety protocols have heightened social isolation for survivors. Holocaust survivors living in poverty have been forced to choose between heat or food, medicine or rent. Many have lived in dire conditions because they did not have the funds needed to repair their homes, according to the statement. Over the past year, survivors have been forced to reckon with new, difficult questions: How will

I get food this week if I cannot go to the grocery store? Will I be able to afford my medicine with decreased access and rising prices? The KAVOD Survivors of the Holocaust Emergency Fund (SHEF) initiative, launched by Seed the Dream Foundation, in partnership with KAVOD-Ensuring Dignity for Survivors in March 2019, supports thousands of Holocaust survivors across the United States. With the emergence and rapid spread of COVID-19, this special initiative has been identified as a key program reaching any survivor in need regardless of where he or she may live. Moving into 2021, KAVOD SHEF will assist Middlesex County’s survivor’s emergency needs. The KAVOD SHEF initiative partners with the national nonprofit

aid organization, KAVOD, the Jewish Federation in the Heart of NJ, Jewish Family Services (JFS) of Middlesex County, national philanthropic partners, and local donors to directly respond to survivor needs in nine emergency areas: food, medical, dental, vision, urgent home needs (utilities, rent, repairs), emergency home care, transportation, essential deliveries, and PPE. In Middlesex County, there are nearly 200 Holocaust survivors living in the community, according to the statement. JFS Middlesex, in partnership with the Jewish Federation in the Heart of NJ, joined KAVOD SHEF in 2019. As the critical needs of aging Holocaust survivors continue to grow exponentially with each passing year, the KAVOD SHEF partnership ensures that survivors are able

to purchase much-needed groceries and access critical dental care, medical procedures and equipment, home care and more, according to the statement. What began in 2019 as emergency services for Holocaust survivors across 18 cities, quickly expanded in 2020 to community partnerships in more than 28 U.S. cities, according to the statement. 2021 is starting with 30 cities, and the coalition continues to grow. Marcy Gringlas, president and cofounder of Seed the Dream Foundation, said “the survivors’ unmet needs far outweigh the resources available to cover these emergency services; it is for this reason that we launched this initiative and are

Middlesex County: Epicenter of thriving businesses

he Middlesex County Board of County Commissioners announces Middlesex County’s Economic Development Initiative for 2021, to be led by Director of Business Engagement Sandy S. Castor. The economic development initiative emphasizes Middlesex County’s connected business infrastructure and its long history of advances in healthcare, education and technology, according to information provided by the Middlesex County Office of Communications. Consistent with the Destination 2040 strategic plan, the county’s master economic roadmap, this visionary growth strategy reaffirms Middlesex County as a complete ecosystem for emerging and existing businesses across the Life Sciences, Food Innovation, and Electric Connected Autonomous Vehicles industries, the particular focus areas for the county’s economic development campaign, according to the statement. With its location just outside New York City, Middlesex County has become the epicenter of growth for business and inno-

vation in these industries, even despite the massive global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the statement. “Middlesex County’s long tradition of fostering innovation is unparalleled. Our economic development initiative reflects our commitment to partnering with businesses comprising the innovation economy in our county and leveraging those relationships for the benefit of our residents,” County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios said in the statement. Middlesex County officials will announce further developments as part of its strategic economic development initiative for the Life Sciences, Food Innovation and Electric Connected Autonomous Vehicles industries in 2021. With focus on partnership, business infrastructure and facilitation, Middlesex County is distinct as a complete ecosystem, where doing business is also clearly more affordable than the greater New York City, Philadelphia or Boston area, according to the statement.

North Brunswick swears in new court administrator By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

NORTH BRUNSWICK – Municipal officials have administered the oath of office to North Brunswick’s newest court administrator. Kim Molnar was surrounded by her family members during a virtual swearing

in ceremony held on Feb. 1 during a Township Council meeting. Molnar began her career in 1989 in East Brunswick and has worked in North Brunswick for 25 years. She succeeds Sheral Rossmann, who retired at the end of 2020. “I find it a privilege. I love, love what I

do. It’s an exciting line of work and I just like being able to help everybody, help the people we meet, even though a lot of times we don’t see them in the best of circumstances. Just trying to get them to, and through, a better resolution and a better outcome, is what we – what myself and my office – will strive to do and help as many

people as possible,” Molnar said. “It’s been an incredible honor to work with everybody in the town and to help the residents.” Mayor Francis “Mac” Womack commented, “I know that you have done an excellent job with the town for many years.”

COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD In England in 1234, Jews were charged with abducting, circumcising and converting a five-year-old Christian boy to Judaism. As a result, Jews were executed, and Jewish homes were looted and torched. Professor Paola Tartakoff, chair of the Rutgers Department of Jewish Studies, will examine the backstory on these accusations, how they perpetuated the myth of ritual murder, and what they meant to Christians and Jews during that period. Tartakoff will draw from her new book, “Conversion, Circumcision, and Ritual Murder in Medieval Europe” with a response by Professor David Shyovitz, Northwestern University, during the pro-

gram. This online event will be held March 3 at 7 p.m. on the Zoom platform. Free and open to the public, it is presented by the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University. Advance registration is required at BildnerCenter.Rutgers.edu.

Volunteer loses 100 pounds cycling, decides to bike cross-country to support Karma Cat + Zen Dog animal rescue

Nicholas Grisi lost 100 pounds cycling.

n March 1, Karma Cat + Zen Dog Rescue Society volunteer and supporter, Nicholas Grisi, will embark on the journey of a lifetime. Grisi will ride his bicycle from San Diego to St. Augustine, Florida, on the ACA Southern Tier Route. Grisi has launched a GoFundMe to help raise money for items needed for his trip, as well as daily expenses, including food and lodging. He raised more than $6,000 as of press time, and hopes to continue raising money as he travels across the country, according to information provided by the Milltown-based rescue society, to which he has pledged 50% of the donations. “They do amazing things to help animals find their fur-ever homes and are very active in the local community. I thought this would be a great opportunity to help raise some money for Karma Cat + Zen Dog Rescue Society as well so they can continue their work saving animals,” Grisi said in the statement. Cycling across the county has been a longtime dream of Grisi. Due to the pandemic, his job industry has shut down. He has decided now is the right time to accomplish his dream, according to the statement. “In the spring of 2020 I lost 100 pounds and got into the best shape I have been in years, mainly due to cycling. While achieving this weight loss I realized there was no better time to set out on this journey than now,” Grisi said in the statement. Follow Grisi’s journey at www. facebook.com/nicholas.grisi/.

Superheroes Are Super Parents in CW’s ‘Superman & Lois’ By Taylor Neumann

uperman and Lois Lane are the king and queen of comic book lore, and now they are headed to a TV near you. Superman & Lois (Tuesdays) is the newest addition to The CW’s universe of superhero television shows, and it promises a new take on perhaps the medium’s best-known couple. In this new iteration, Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) are attempting to raise their family — teen sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin) — after moving back to Smallville from Metropolis. “They’re struggling with all the things that parents struggle with,” said co-creator and showrunner Todd Helbing. “So how do two of the busiest people on the planet do that? And juggle

their jobs and raising kids at the same time, which I think is something that is really relatable to a lot of people in the world.” Another facet of the drama is showing Lois Lane as truly a hero in her own right, saving the world in a different way than her super humanly skilled husband but no less effective. “Lois Lane just inherently is a symbol of strength. She’s fearless — she has no qualms telling people of all statures and status what she thinks of them,” explained Helbing. “In the comics, she’s always sort of presented as this damsel in distress, but we didn’t want to do that ever with her.” She’s a working mom, continuing her career at the Daily Planet as one of the most famous journalists in the world. This also gives her a different perspective on quote-unquote “bad guys” — during the first season, both Superman and

Rodgers and Hammerstein The Golden Couple Of Broadway’s Golden Age By Taylor Neumann, ReMIND Magazine

he duo of Richard Rodgers (born 1902) and Oscar Hammerstein II (born 1895) was an influential and successful Broadway theater writing team. Rodgers was the composing side of the pair, with Hammerstein as the lyricist. They first joined up to work on Oklahoma!, which opened in 1943. It ran for 2,212 performances before closing in 1948. Popular songs from the musical include “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,” “People Will Say We’re in Love” and the self-titled “Oklahoma!” Rodgers and Hammerstein received a special Pulitzer Prize in 1944 for writing the musical. Their next project was Carousel, running from 1945 until 1947. Its most

popular songs were the instrumental “The Carousel Waltz,” “If I Loved You” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Rodgers and Hammerstein followed that up with the film State Fair, the only time the pair wrote a score directly for a movie. It was a success and won the duo their only Oscar, for the song “It Might as Well Be Spring.” Next up was a string of huge successes, beginning with 1949’s South Pacific, which ran for nearly five years. Songs like “Bali Ha’i,” “Younger Than Springtime” and “Some Enchanted Evening” are now considered classics of the genre. South Pacific was followed by The King and I in 1951. This production featured the hit songs “I Whistle a Happy Tune,” “Getting to Know You,” “Something Wonderful,” “I Have Dreamed” and “Shall We Dance?”

Rodgers and Hammerstein then collaborated on their only project for television, Cinderella (1957). The production

Lois will each have their own villain to conquer. Smallville itself is another aspect of the show that will seem familiar to fans of the genre, but has been updated to reflect more of our society today. “The Smallville that everybody knows and loves, when we come back to it, those days are in the past,” Helbing said.” And we address this in the pilot, but one of the characters says, ‘What used to happen is people would leave the town and they would go get educated, they’d find their skill set, and then they’d bring that back to the town that helped raise them. And that doesn’t happen anymore.’ … And so part of the story for the series is Clark and Lois coming back to Smallville. … How do you save a small town that you love dearly, and that raised you?”

starred Julie Andrews as Cinderella, with Rodgers stating, “What won us over was the chance to work with Julie.” More than 107 million people watched the broadcast. In 1958 came Flower Drum Song, directed by Gene Kelly. It featured a mostly Asian cast and was a successful show, but it did not achieve the popularity of other Rodgers and Hammerstein collaborations. The pair’s final work together came with The Sound of Music, and since debuting in 1959 the show has been frequently revived. In 1965, it was made into a feature film with Andrews, and won five Oscars. Hammerstein died in 1960, before the film was made, so when Rodgers was asked to write two more songs for the film, this time he wrote the music and the lyrics. The Sound of Music has more hit songs than any other musical of Rodgers and Hammerstein, including the title song, “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” “So Long, Farewell” and “Sixteen Going on Seventeen.” “Edelweiss” was the last song the pair wrote together. Rodgers passed away in 1979.

Focus on Seniors Parker campuses implement infection control technology

ltraviolet disinfecting equipment, temperature scanning kiosks, hand hygiene devices and other infection control technologies have been implemented at Parker Health Group, Inc.’s five campuses specializing in long-term care and aging services in response to the lingering COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders at Parker locations in Highland Park, Piscataway, New Brunswick, Somerset and Monroe Township are determined to be a formidable front line against the spread of coronavirus and other infectious diseases, according to information provided by Parker. New technologies and protocols are being implemented to reduce the spread of infection and the threat of crosscontamination while continually promoting safety. “We are anticipating the effects of this pandemic will be a renewed focus on limiting the spread of germs and viruses, on disinfecting, on creating environments free of touch points and more,” Carolyn Bachonski, Parker’s chief clinical officer, said in the statement. Judy Collett-Miller, Parker’s director of Technology Innovation, added, “The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated our work at Parker to keep our campuses safe and secure for our residents, staff, families and visitors.” These initiatives are being put into place following the first and second vaccinations of all Parker residents over a sixday period in January and then in February. The focus now is implementing the latest technologies on the market to safeguard residents for generations to come, according to the statement. The use of ultraviolet light technology will be one tool in a multi-pronged approach. Various UV technologies allow workers to effectively disinfect most anything in a resident’s suite, according to the statement. Parker is using a device known as a “UV Cube” to clean computers, cell phones and other items. In as little as 90 seconds, items

emerge from the cube both bacteria- and virus-free after being bathed in UV light. “The process is completely safe for these items,” James Dellapa, chief information officer at Parker, said in the statement. “Ultraviolet technology has been widely used to effectively sterilize and sanitize and will be utilized throughout all homes.” Parker also intends to secure a mobile device that can disinfect, say, a bedroom or a bathroom in a matter of three to five minutes, according to the statement. It floods each room with UV light. Dellapa said technology such as UV lights that sterilize exam and operating rooms is growing in use at top hospitals. “It’s much more effective than some of the traditional misting protocols or other tools that are used today,” Dellapa said in the statement. “That is why it will be coming to Parker.” Another technology in use monitors Parker care members’ hand hygiene as they go about their rounds, taking care of elders. Parker is using screening kiosks on each of its campuses that record employee, and soon to be visitors’ or vendors’, temperatures and manually ask them to respond to a brief COVID-19 questionnaire. “It uses facial-recognition and no-touch technologies,” Dellapa said in the statement. “It will take your temperature and will prompt you to answer a questionnaire. You respond by waving your right hand or your left hand to indicate yes or no.” The unit will provide an immediate notification, determining if a visitor is permitted access. “The best way to keep our residents and staff safe is to mitigate the spread of infections within our homes,” Collett-Miller said in the statement, “and the kiosks and the other technologies are working together to do that. While put in place to address the current challenges these technologies have an enormous long-term value in a post-pandemic world.”

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD High Country

hen I think of the Chevrolet Suburban, it is kind of hard for me not to think about the U.S. Presidential motorcades featuring all those blacked-out Suburbans which I am sure are bomb- and bulletproof. The Secret Service commandeers a “presidential” Suburban limo for our beloved leader which has been reported to have several identical versions for security reasons. The potential bad guys will never know Peter Perrotta which Suburban the president might be traveling in on any particular day. While I would never be pretentious enough to fantasize that I am the president, when you settle behind the wheel of one of these monstrous SUV’s, you do feel rather “presidential” – or at least like you might be worthy enough to be one of those Secret Service agents who gets to drive him around. I recently jumped behind the wheel of the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD High Country for one week so I can entertain my On The Road fans on what it is like to drive one of these rather large SUVs. First off, the enormity of this vehicle could be a bit unsettling – at first – but one does get used to it. For the record, the 3.0 liter turbo diesel High Country Suburban I tested, weighs 6,072 pounds, holds 28 gallons of diesel fuel and features the following dimensions: it is 225.7 inches long; 81.1 inches wide; 75.7 inches tall. Beyond the enormity of all that, it has

a maximum cargo space – with the second and third rows folded down – of 144.7 cubic feet and can tow up to 8,300 pounds. Wow! There is nothing like good ol’ American ingenuity folks and if that doesn’t impress you, I’m not sure what will. But, lo and behold, this beast is not as fossil fuel happy as you might think. Two of the biggest changes Chevy made to the Suburban for 2021 are offering it up in a much more fuel consumption friendly 3.0 liter, in-line, six cylinder turbo diesel engine and adding a fully independent rear suspension. The Duramax turbo diesel on my tester puts out 277 horsepower at 460 pound feet of torque and is coupled with a very smooth 10 speed automatic transmission. The EPA estimates that this six cylinder turbo diesel gets an overall rating of 22 miles per gallon – 20 mpg in city driving and 26 mpg on the highway. For a vehicle of this size, that’s not too shabby. The EPA estimates that this version of the Suburban would cost – on average – about $2,050 per year to run as it uses 4.5 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. The regular gas V-8 versions of the Suburban are not quite as fuel efficient, however. The 5.3 liter V-8 in a 4WD Suburban gets 15 mpg in city driving and 19 on the highway. The 6.2 liter V8 4WD version gets 14 mpg in city driving and 19 on the highway. The addition of the fully independent rear suspension is a winner in my book. By adding that feature it does two important things. It allows Chevy to redesign the rear cargo area to be completely flat – without those odd looking rear wheel humps – and it affords this Suburban a really smooth and comfortable ride. With the addition of the fully independent rear suspension and the inclusion of an adaptive air ride suspension – included in the High Country Deluxe option pack-

age – this Suburban had a dream like ride quality to it. I found it to be extremely comfortable and shock absorbing. Of course, none of this luxury and innovation comes cheap. My tester carries a bottom line sticker price of $82,495. The base price of the High Country 4WD Suburban is $75,300. Added options on my tester included: $5,500 for the High Country Deluxe package; $1,995 for a rear seat entertainment system; $350 for a power sliding floor center console; $1,500 for the Duramax turbo diesel engine and $1,295 for destination and delivery. The Deluxe High Country package is loaded with goodies including: power retractable side steps; adaptive cruise control; enhanced emergency braking; power panoramic sunroof; air ride suspension and a very advanced trailering system. Overall, I found my week behind the wheel of the High Country diesel Suburban to be rather enjoyable. Like I said, once you get use to the enormity of this vehicle you can settle in and enjoy its comfort. It still isn’t the kind

It’s not all that nimble in city driving, obviously. The four wheel drive system works rather well in inclement weather. I found that in snow and ice conditions the 4X4 gave me a shot on confidence on the icy and snowy roads. I found the 3.0 liter turbo diesel to be enough power but a tad sluggish in spots.

Survivors (Continued from page 1)

prepared to continue matching every dollar raised on the national level. We can and must do more to alleviate these impossible choices and help our Survivors live in dignity during their last years. When we come together and work together, our collective reach extends beyond what we thought possible.” “Seed the Dream Foundation is committed to working with our partners across the country to create a collective communal response and bring most-needed attention to address this silent crisis,” Talia Kaplan, executive director of Seed the Dream Foundation, said in the statement. “Every day, we lose more than 40 Holocaust survivors, and yet every day we continue to see hundreds of new requests for care. There is no time to waste,” Gringlas said in the statement. Roni Salkin, executive director of JFS of Middlesex County, asks, “How could we put our survivors on a waiting list for emergency services? The time is now to help them, not 10 years from now, but today while we can still help. It is unconscionable to think of a Holocaust survivor who does not have enough food to eat or must decide whether to pay an electric bill, a plumber or a doctor’s office. With the partnership of our Jewish Federation in the Heart of NJ and KAVOD SHEF, our Holocaust survivors are able to see with new eyeglasses, eat again after extensive dental work, use new hearing aids to enjoy the laughter of family, and bring in nursing aides to help them stay in their homes, aging with comfort and dignity.” “Jewish Federation identifies and mobi-

lizes resources to address the most pressing needs in the Jewish community,” Susan Antman, executive director of Jewish Federation in the Heart of NJ, said in the statement. “Helping to bring all the pieces of the JFS – KAVOD SHEF – Federation partnership together for the benefit of our treasured Holocaust survivors is more than a manifestation of our Federation mission, but we hope a loving and respectful way to remind Holocaust survivors that they are not forgotten and never alone.” The KAVOD SHEF hotline is 720-2958484. KAVOD Ensuring Dignity for Holocaust Survivors is an organization that is making a massive impact for Holocaust survivors living near or in poverty in the U.S. KAVOD was created in the fall of 2015 when the founders, John and Amy Israel Pregulman, learned that one-third of the up to 80,000 survivors living in the U.S. struggle with day-to-day basic needs when there is an emergency situation. “We still get looks of dismay every time we share these numbers. We get asked time and time again how is this possible and why is this happening?” John Pregulman, co-founder of KAVOD, said in the statement. “The issue is not going away and is not dwindling. Our survivors are getting older and are having bigger financial stresses. We only have a few years left with these courageous individuals and we feel it is our responsibility to take care of them and offer them peace in their final years. They have been through enough and as a human community, we are responsible,” Amy Israel Pregulman, executive director of KAVOD, said in the statement.

History (Continued from page 1)

population of 1,400, compared to today’s 45,000 residents, Guadagnino said. At the time, there were 19 shops, including eight taverns, three grist (flour) mills, one sawmill and one brewery. There was also a coal mine, a quarry and the Parsons snuff mill. All of the mills were powered by water power from Farrington Lake, she said. The National Musical String Company was located in town as well. The primary road in North Brunswick at the time was Route 27, which traveled from Woodbridge to Trenton as it does today; and most trade was done on that route, Guadagnino said. Livingston Avenue, which is named for William Livingston, New Jersey’s first governor, was called the Trenton and New Brunswick Turnpike (Route 26) and was a toll road: one cent per horse and a half-cent per rider. The turnpike generated $2,500 in revenue per year, Guadagnino said. Gen. George Washington and his troops traveled through North Brunswick as they moved from Trenton and Princeton to the ports in Woodbridge and Perth Amboy. President Abraham Lincoln traveled the New Brunswick Turnpike and it was the route of his funeral train toward New York after his assassination in 1865. Berdines Corner was the first developed residential area in the township, with roads and trolley lines connecting to New Brunswick and Milltown. The first schoolhouse was reported in the 1800s, “for those who could afford it,” Guadagnino said. When the first formal school system was established in 1859, there were 24 female teachers who each made $268 per year, and 10 male teachers who each made $512 per year. In 1860, North Brunswick was much larger than its current 8,256 acres; New Brunswick, East Brunswick and Milltown

each broke off and took some portions of land, Guadagnino said. In 1922, a formal police department was established, followed by a firehouse in 1925 and the first aid squad in 1955. “We want everyone to know the rich, wonderful history of North Brunswick and just treasure all of the culture that we have had over our lifespan of being North Brunswick,” Guadagnino said. As the township approaches its 242nd anniversary this year, Guadagnino discussed ways residents can get involved now in preparation for Founders Day in 2029. “We want the entire community involved as we celebrate North Brunswick,” Guadagnino initially said during the Township Council meeting on Feb. 1. This year, the township will offer three activities to begin celebrating North Brunswick’s history and culture. First, residents can create and design a township logo that will be used on marketing items, paperwork, social media, etc. Residents may submit photographs, either amateur or professional, for a collage that will be displayed in the lobby of the municipal building on Hermann Road. The pictures should capture something special or significant about town. Students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade may submit artwork about what North Brunswick means to them. Those pieces will also be displayed at 710 Hermann Road. “We will see what they think of North Brunswick and what a great town we live in,” Guadagnino said. For information about how to submit and participate, visit https://northbrunswicknj.gov/Guide/founders-day/ Guadagnino said a committee will be established for Founders Day and residents are encouraged to get involved. “We live in such a fantastic town. We live in a diverse town and everyone is different so we want to see everyone’s version of how they feel North Brunswick is and what it means to them,” she said.

For a complete list of community events, visit www.centraljersey.com. Any calendar items not appearing in the printed version of the newspaper will appear online. To submit a community announcement, send details via email to news@nsbsentinel. com The deadline for submissions is noon on Thursday. Legal Notices On December 10, 2020, the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing indefinitely suspended the license of Krystle Natalie Charles, RN, PA license no.

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.
