In 1876, in Pellevoisin, France, Our Lady appeared 15 times to a woman called
Estelle Faguette.
What happened was that Estelle got a deadly illness.
It was not the fact that she was going to die that bothered her, it was the fact
that her parents depended on her for their
survival, as they were both unable to work
and Estelle was the one that
provided for them both by working.
She wrote a letter to Our Lady and put it in
the little grotto to Our Lady which was a
good bit away from where
she lived.
During the 15 apparitions of Our Lady that followed, Estelle was healed progressively
and was in the end completely free of her illness.
I had the chance to visit Pellevoisin.
First and foremost the Mass was extremely nourishing for the soul
and the spirit,
and throughout it there was a cohesion and perfection
that was tangible.
I was in awe.
After Mass we spoke with some of the Sisters of
the religious community who lives there;
the contemplative sisters
of Saint Jean
Afterwards we visited the sanctuary and the grotto.
What a rich and beautiful day! It is to be recommended.
