Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes...

What has Our Lady of Emmitsburg previously said on this Marian feast?

“….You have seen in an instant how easily it is to lose many possessions. You have seen weather and climate changes. You have seen genocide and civil wars. You have seen illnesses in different parts of the world....Who is to say that at a moment’s glance, through hatred and greed, once again people will not turn against one another?...Every morning when you awaken, ask God the Father to breathe into you Life and the healing in your heart of any hatred or any other vice that you may have….” (OLOE Private 02-11-09)
