THE VIRGIN OF THE POOR

BANNEUX, Belgium 1933

The Virgin of the Poor showed Herself at Banneux only twelve days after Her last apparition at Beauraing. Mariette Béco, a poor, ignorant 12 year old girl, the eldest child of a non-practicing family, had the privilege of seeing Her. The Virgin appeared to her eight times between January 15 and March 2, 1933, during the Great Depression. "My dear child," she said, "pray a great deal. I am the Virgin of the Poor. I have come to relieve suffering." The beautiful Lady wanted a little chapel, and She gave miraculous powers to a nearby spring. Before leaving the child, She laid Her hands on her in a motherly blessing.
