  • Eventually six brothers and two sisters arrived as gifts from God. Only three
    lived beyond the age of ten. Justin died when he was nine, four others died as
    infants. Such comings and goings from Heaven to earth, and earth to Heaven
    welded our family together in fortitude and love. I never heard my parents
    quarrel. They were always at peace.
  • A golden cloud came out of the cave and flooded the niche with radiance. Then
    a lady, young and beautiful, exceedingly beautiful, the like of whom I had never
    seen, stood on the edge of the niche. She smiled and smiled at me, beckoning me
    to come closer as though she were my mother, and she gave me to understand in my
    soul that I was not mistaken.

    The Lady was dressed in white, with a white veil on her head, and a blue sash
    at her waist. A Rosary of white beads on a golden chain was on her right arm. On
    that cold winter’s day, her feet were bare, but on each foot was a golden rose
    radiant with the warmth of summer.

    I went upon my knees and took my Rosary from my pocket The Lady took the
    Rosary from her arm and I began to cross myself. My arm could not move until the
    Lady herself made a beautiful Sign of the Cross.
