OUR LADY OF LA SALETTE

France September 19, 1846

High in the Alps, the Mother of God sat with Her face in Her hands, weeping and heartbroken with sorrow. She then rose and spoke to two young shepherds, Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud. Endless tears flowed from Her eyes. "I have been suffering for you for so long," She said. She entrusted a secret to each of the two visionaries. Melanie’s, made public after 1858, is very long. It speaks of the deviations of priests and souls consecrated to God and of the great chastisements the world will incur if people refuse to pray and mend their ways. At the end of the Secret, the Blessed Virgin addressed an urgent appeal to the Apostles of the Latter Times and dictated the Rule of the Order of the Mother of God, requesting its foundation. This Order, destined to bring about the renewal of the Church, has been developing at St. Jovite, Quebec, since 1962 and has been implanted in various countries.
