On one evening in the year 1798, there was an apparition of a beautiful lady in a long cape, a Lady carrying a Child in her arms standing nearby in a mysterious glow of light with two angels accompanying her. In the beginning the people there were frightened and then later enchanted, some among those who were there recognized the Lady and the child as the Blessed Virgin Mary with Jesus Her Son. All listened entranced while Mary told them softly that she was fully aware of their hardships and of their chronic sickness due to contaminated water. She told them to gather certain leaves that grew near and make a strong tea of them; this would keep them healthy. Solemnly she added, “From this day on, prayers said on this spot will be heard – and answered.”
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
