Miracle of the sun, 13th October 1917, in presence of 50,000 – 80,000 witnesses
Throughout the centuries, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother in Heaven, accompanies us and prepares us for the glorious return of her Son Jesus-Christ, true man and true God, our Saviour and Sovereign Judge.
The Mother of God and our Mother calls mankind to conversion, to prayer, to penitence and to make reparation.
Jesus Himself appeared in 1675 at Paray-le-Monial to prepare us and ask for reparation to be made for the lack of love that is shown towards Him, to the Heart that so loved mankind that it bore all its sins, our sins, even unto death so that we may have eternal life.

« Pray not only for yourself, but for the people of all nations. The world today is wounding the Sacred Heart of Jesus through so much sin and ingratitude. »
« Many men in this world afflict the Lord. I desire souls to console Him to soften the anger of the Heavenly Father. I wish, with my Son, for souls who will repair by their suffering and their poverty for the sinners and ingrates. »
« In order that the world might know His anger, the Heavenly Father is preparing to inflict a great chastisement on all mankind. With my Son I have intervened so many times to appease the wrath of the Father. »
« Prayer, penance and courageous sacrifices can soften the Father’s anger. »

« My Immaculate Heart shall be your refuge and the road that shall lead you to God. »
« Sacrifice yourselves for sinners and say many times, especially when you make some sacrifice, ‘O Jesus, this is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. »
« You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. »

« When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: ‘O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy »
« Pray, pray much, and make sacrifice for sinners, for many souls go to hell because there is no one to sacrifice and pray for them. »
Prayers taught by the Angel of Peace in 1916, the year preceding the apparitions of Our Lady in 1917:
« My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee! I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust and do not love Thee. »
« Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most Precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences by which He Himself is offended. And through the infinite merits of His most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners »
Lourdes : 1858

« I am the Immaculate Conception. »
« Penance! Penance! Penance! Pray to God for sinners. Kiss the ground as an act of penance for sinners »
LA SALETTE : 1846
https://www.notrehistoireavecmarie.com/fr/esc/notre-dame-de-la-salette-les-larmes-dune-mere/
« If my people will not submit, I shall be forced to let fall the arm of my Son. It is so strong, so heavy, that I can no longer withhold it. For how long a time do I suffer for you! If I would not have my Son abandon you, I am compelled to pray to him without ceasing; and as to you, you take not heed of it. However much you pray, however much you do, you will never recompense the pains I have taken for you. »
« Six days I have given you to labour, the seventh I had kept for myself; and they will not give it to me.” It is this which makes the arm of my Son so heavy. Those who drive the carts cannot swear without introducing the name of my Son. These are the two things which makes the arm of my Son so heavy. »
« Do you say your prayers well, my children? “Ah, my children”, she exhorted them, “you must be sure to say them well morning and evening. When you cannot do better, say at least an Our Father and a Hail Mary; but when you have time, say more. »
« There are none who go to Mass except a few old women. The rest work on Sunday all summer; then in the winter, when they know not what to do, they go to Mass only to mock at religion. During Lent, they go to the butcher’s shop like dogs. »
PARAY-LE-MONIAL : 1675
« Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love. In return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrileges, and by the coldness and contempt they have for me in this Sacrament of love… But what I feel most keenly is that it is hearts which are consecrated to Me that treat Me thus. »
« I thirst, I burn with the desire to be loved! »
« I want to manifest to them the riches of my Heart, in order to enrich them with the precious graces of sanctification and salvation necessary to withdraw them from the abyss of perdition. »
Guadalupe : 1531
https://www.notrehistoireavecmarie.com/fr/esc/notre-dame-de-guadalupe-reine-du-mexique/
« Know and understand well, you the most humble of my son, that I am the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth. I wish that a temple be erected here quickly, so I may therein exhibit and give all my love, compassion, help, and protection, because I am your merciful mother, to you, and to all the inhabitants on this land and all the rest who love me, invoke and confide in me; listen there to their lamentations, and remedy all their miseries, afflictions and sorrows. And to accomplish what my clemency pretends, go to the palace of the bishop of Mexico, and you will say to him that I manifest my great desire, that here on this plain a temple be built to me; you will accurately relate all you have seen and admired, and what you have heard. Be assured that I will be most grateful and will reward you, because I will make you happy and worthy of recompense for the effort and fatigue in what you will obtain of what I have entrusted. Behold, you have heard my mandate, my humble son; go and put forth all your effort. »
