My name is John W. Garcia and I am a Catholic Christian from Covina, CA. I have received five of the seven Sacraments Christ instituted as the new law. Two of these Sacraments I receive frequently and repetitiously. They are the Sacrament of Penance (conversion to Christ and conversion of heart) and the Holy Eucharist (the source and summit of the Christian life).

My story of how the Blessed Virgin Mary intercedes for me is truly a gift to share with all who may read this. It is the graces from meditating on the mysteries, which are the life, death, and resurrection of Christ that our Blessed Mother is able to intercede for us by crushing the enemies head. The Blessed Virgin Mary aids me in vigilance to control “the tinder to sin” or “Concupiscence.” Concupiscence is an inclination to sin which calls us to a spiritual battle on a daily basis. This Concupiscence can and will manifest itself in addiction unless we combat it with Prayer and the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family. I  saw a lot of drugs and infidelity. After finally receiving my Sacraments I fell away from Holy Mother Church at the age of seventeen. My mother died 4 years later at the young age of 38. I was consumed by my own “Concupiscence”. I was someone who struggled with bad moral habits or addictions such as alcohol, controlled substances, prescription psychiatric medications, and pornography. As a result of my addictions I also served  8 and a half months in state prison.

As someone who lived it, I must now share with all addicts that the real cure is Christ Jesus, the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, the intercession of His Blessed Mother the Virgin Mary (Praying the most Holy Rosary), living a Virtuous life, and total obedience to serving the LORD our GOD by Obeying the 10 Commandments. There is no other Cure on the face of this Earth other than Church that can lead us to salvation.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen says in one of his sermons “An addict is someone who is suffering from a moral heart attack”. Saint Paul said “Bare the burdens of one another’s failings, then you will be fulfilling the law of CHRIST” Our fellow brothers and sisters need support and love. We must give them that love to bring them Home to Holy Mother Church.
