Feast of Our Lady of La Salette

All the civil governments will have one and the same plan, which will be to abolish and do away with every religious principle, to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritualism and vice of all kinds. ~ From the Secret of La Salette
September 19th is the Feast of Our Lady of La Salette, Reconciler of Sinners. In 1846 Our Lady appeared to two young cowherds, Maximin and Melanie, on the slopes of Mount La Salette in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. In her message, the beautiful Lady asked us for prayer and penance; and warned us of the chastisement of God if we did not repent our sins. In celebration, we're posting the Memore to Our Lady of La Salette from the La Salette Laity Handbook: 31 Days of Apparition Reflections by Fr. Ron Gagne, M.S. Nostra Signora di La Salette, ora pro nobis.

Memorare to Our Lady of La Salette

Remember, Our Lady of La Salette, true Mother of Sorrows, the tears you shed for us on Calvary. Remember also the care you have taken to keep us faithful to Christ, your Son. Having done so much for your children by this consoling thought, we come to you pleading, despite our infidelities and ingratitude.

Virgin of Reconciliation, do not reject our prayers, but intercede for us, obtain for us the grace to love Jesus above all else. May we console you by a holy life and so come to share the eternal life Christ gained by His cross. Amen
