Despite the frigid and stormy weather
Our Lady, of course, doesn't feel the cold. Interestingly, Veronica
explains on April 6, 1974 that: "Now Jesus and Our Lady are moving
over...Jesus has on sandals, but it looks awful cold. No. No, Jesus says
there is no feeling of cold." |

Send
us your petition and it will be placed at the feet of Our Lady at
the next Rosary Vigil. Jesus
and Our Lady promised to be present at the sacred grounds as long as one
person comes here to pray. |
