September 19 - Our Lady of La Salette

This year marks 178 years since the apparitions of Our Lady to two young children: Melania Calvat, 15 and Maksymilian Giraud, 11, in La Salette, France, on September 19, 1846.

The Blessed Virgin revealed messages into two parts: the so-called Secret, which was to be revealed after 1858; the other, general exhortations, encouragement to pray and to correct morals.

After five years of careful investigation, on November 16, 1851, with the consent of Rome, Bishop de Bruillard issued a document that recognized the revelation as true. The secret, written by the children and sealed, was sent to Pius IX in the same year. In accordance with the will of the Mother of God, it was first published in 1873 from the Imprimatur of Bishop Naples, and then soon from the Imprimatur of Bishop Lecce, with the personal approval of the Pope.

In 1879, Leo XIII summoned Melania Calvat to Rome to hear the message and receive detailed explanations.

Here is what the Beautiful Lady said to the shepherds:

"If my people refuse to give up, I will be forced to let go of my Son's arm. It is so strong and heavy that I can no longer support him. For how long have I suffered for you! my Son has not abandoned you, I must constantly ask Him for it, and you do not do anything about it. Even if you do not know how they prayed and what they did, you will never be able to compensate for the effort I have made for you. I have given you six days until I have made a reservation - and they refuse to grant it to me. This is what makes my Son's arm heavy! The charioteers also curse, mixing my Son's name with curses. These are the two things that make my Son's arm so heavy. , it's only your fault. I showed it to you last year on the potatoes. But you didn't do anything about it. On the contrary, when you found rotten potatoes, you cursed, mixing my Son's name with curses. They will continue to deteriorate, and this year there won't be any for Christmas. If you have grain, you don't have to sow it. Whatever you sow will eat the worms, and whatever arises will crumble to dust when threshing. There will be a great hunger. Before the famine sets in, children under the age of seven will get chills and die on the hands of those holding them. Others will repent of hunger. The nuts will turn wormy and the grapes will rot. "

At this point, Our Lady entrusted the secret to Maximinus, and later to Melania.

Then she said to both children,

"If they repent, the stones and rocks will turn into heaps of grain and the potatoes will plant themselves. Do you pray well, my children?"

"Not really, ma'am!" both replied.

"Ah! My children, you must pray well in the evening and in the morning. If you do not have time, at least say the Our Father and a Hail, and if you can, pray more. In the summer, only a few elderly women go to Mass. Others work on Sundays. all summer. In winter, when they do not know what to do, they go to Mass only to mock religion. During Lent, they eat meat like dogs. My children, have you ever seen rotten grain? "

"No, ma'am," answered the children. Then Our Lady asked Maximinus:

"But you, my child, you must have seen him once, at Coin, with your father. The owner of the field then said to your father: 'Come and see how my grain breaks down."

"You went together. Your father took two or three ears of corn in his hands, crushed them and everything turned to dust. You came home later. When you were about an hour from Crops, your father gave you a piece of bread, saying, 'Here, child, eat some more bread in it. year, because I do not know if anyone will eat it next year, if the grain continues to deteriorate like this.'

"Oh yes, lady!" answered Maximine, "Now I remember it. I didn't remember that a moment ago."

Then she moved forward, crossed the stream and, without looking back, repeated urgently,

"Well, my children, announce this to all my people."

Then Our Lady climbed a winding slope that rises towards Le Collet (small mountain pass). The children ran up to Her. She looked to the sky, then to the ground. Facing the south-east, She "dissolved into the light". Then the light also disappeared.

Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us sinners.
