In "A Child of the Rosary", Teresita Tanseco-Cruz presents a look into the life of Tammy Peterson, her miraculous healing and conversion to Catholicism.

In "Faith and Miracles: Emerging Triumphant From a Difficult Pregnancy,” Anna Gicelle Himala Medina describes the difficult odyssey with her husband with initial infertility, threatened premature delivery, to having the baby at 34 weeks weighing 4lbs, prayers and donations helping them with tremendous hospital bills. Son Mario is now almost 4 yrs old, developing normally, all through God's grace and the Blessed Mother's intercession.

In "Consecration to the Blessed Mother,” Marimil Enage-Villareal describes the car accident in Turkey that left her with multiple injuries and excruciating pain and the blessed road to recovery in the care of loved ones and caregivers but most of all, in the arms of Mother Mary herself.

In the September issue of White Butterfly, Conchita Bigornia writes Part 1 of "The Rainbow After the Rain", describing her husband, Malee's fatal illness. In Part 2 this month, Conchita writes of Malee’s legacy who was devoted to God and the Blessed Mother. Malee knew the singular joy of being so well-loved but he himself was a source of love, generosity, kindness and laughter everywhere he turned - so his God and Mother Mary - centered legacy lives in many countless others.

In ’Message from a Grateful Son’, Cecilia Tapales-Santiago recalls God's constant guidance of her marriage and family through 'bruised' years of togetherness.

Son, Rico on her 80th birthday celebration, reads the long enumeration of gratitude prayers he and his siblings list to honor God's fidelity in their Mom's life. Unknowingly, Cecilia had modelled strength in her simplicity and humility.
