said to have appeared
to Antonio Botta on March 18, 1536
In 1665 the Bishop of the Diocese
Called for a Feast Day on March 18th in Our Lady’s Honor
V13 – 11.19.21 – “…And here is My Mama, who in the Portent of My Will Conceived Me and gave Me Birth in time, now giving Me Life a second time to let Me Accomplish the Work of Redemption. Then I looked to the left, and I found the little daughter of My Will. I found you as the first, with the retinue of the other daughters of My Will. And since I wanted My Mama with Me as the First Link of Mercy, by which we were to Open the Doors to all creatures, I therefore wanted to Lean My Right Arm on Her. As for you, Luisa, I wanted you as the First Link of Justice, to Prevent It from Unloading Itself upon all creatures, as they deserve; therefore I wanted to Lean My Left Arm on you, so that you might Sustain It Together with Me.”
– St. Joseph Appeared to Sister Mary Ephrem again on this day in 1958 (see post of March 17th)
