Book excerpt: In 1846, the people of the small town of Corps, located in the French Alps, had largely forgotten God. That was soon about to change. Our Lady of La Salette appeared to two peasant children, sharing a warning message of the importance of Sunday observance and respecting the name of the Lord. She told the young children to share that message with the world. It is a message even more needed in our world today.Our Lady of La Salette: A Mother Weeps for her Children shares the story of the apparition, the seers, the message, and the secrets revealed on a rural mountain in France over 170 years ago. It also reflects on the importance of that message for our own time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 50 years before three shepherd children in Fatima saw a beautiful, mysterious Lady, two similarly innocent children beheld the same Lady heartbroken, crying with her face in her hands. Maximin and Melanie might not be as well-known as Lucia, Jacinta, or Francisco, but their message is no less powerful or relevant now. This vividly detailed, engrossing account from Mary Fabyan Windeatt reveals the depth of Mary's pain over the sins of ungrateful men, as well as the perfect mother's love that drove her to appear in tears to these faith-filled children. Mary's message here, and the story of La Salette, will be familiar to anyone who knows the story of Fatima, reminding us that prayer, hope, and penance will always be the answer to the emptiness of sin and violence. Maximin and Melanie quickly realize that their journey will not be easy, but instead of giving in to the constant, grating pressures of a harsh and unbelieving public, they win staggering amounts of people over through their virtue, their honesty, and especially their courage. With the law and even a local priest closing in on them from all sides, they refuse to dishonor Our Lady by revealing what she told them in confidence, remaining faithful to what they know is right in God's eyes. In their encounter with the heartbroken Lady at La Salette, these two little children have much to teach us about what trust in God really looks like. By casting themselves into Christ's arms through His mother, they found peace in the midst of some truly unexpected stresses, confusions, and misunderstandings that surrounded their peaceful vision. As they won villager after villager to their side through faith and perseverance, they gave so many tired souls a sign of how much they are loved and sought-after by the Divine Lover--including all of us today. Let this story of her humble appearance at La Salette encourage us in our own lives as we struggle with our crosses and look forward to the eternal hope of the Resurrection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past two centuries hundreds of apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been reported, drawing crowds to the seers and the sites and constituting events of great religious significance for millions of people worldwide. Here Sandra Zimdars-Swartz provides a detective-like investigation of the experiences and interpretations of six major apparitions, including those at La Salette and Lourdes in France during the mid-nineteenth century; at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917; and the more recent ones at San Damiano, Italy; Garabandal, Spain; and Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, where the apparitions continue. Adopting a phenomenological approach to these "encounters with Mary"--one that is neither apologetic nor antagonistic--the author explores the tension between the personal meaning of the events for their subjects and the public appropriation of this meaning by a larger religious community. Along the way she examines the backgrounds of the seers, their willingness or reluctance to talk about the apparitions and their messages, the amount of emotional support they received from family and community as news of the apparitions spread, the reports of miracles at apparition sites, the reactions of local authorities, and the steps taken by the Roman Catholic Church in officially recognizing or rejecting the apparitions as worthy of belief. The author concludes with a survey of religious worldviews based on Marian apparitions, focusing especially on the now-popular transcultural apocalyptic nature of these messages to the modern world.

Book excerpt: A Grace Called La Salette: a story for the world, contains outstanding pages-probably the best ever written-on the spirituality of La Salette and the religious meaning of the apparition. Father Jaouen ably demonstrates the coherence of the various elements of the discourse and of the vision reported by the witnesses, as well as their agreement with the Gospel taught by the Church.He had been trained for this task at the theological school of the Saulchoir, an institution directed by French Dominicans. Thanks to that training he gave an accurate and balanced interpretation of the warnings voiced by the Lady of the apparition, warnings which have deeply scandalized so many people. According to them, the apparition reflects an unbiblical understanding of God and Christ in presenting the image of a vengeful Christ while reserving for Mary the exercise of mercy.Such objections reflect a radical misunderstanding of the message of La Salette. La Salette does not place the origin of Mary's mercy in herself but in the God who mandated her to pray for us without ceasing. More so, other objections raised against the Christology of the message do not stem solely from a superficial reading of that mes-sage reported by Maximin and Melanie. Their roots go deeper. They arise from a view of Christ's work which reduces his role to that of prophet of the philosophers. According to the New Testament, Jesus is in reality the Messiah of Israel who accomplishes the mission his Father has given Him not simply by teaching, exhorting, protesting against abuses, but also by offering Himself for people and incorporating them into His body. This process necessarily demands from us a response which in the final analysis consists in taking this word of Jesus seriously: "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me" (Matt 16:24). The mercy of Jesus must be read in the light of the cross which, un-fortunately, we too easily dismiss.The message of La Salette can only be grasped in this light. As Father Jaouen points out, the tears shed by the "beautiful Lady" of the apparition place before us the tragic situation of a people who, forgetting Christ and his cross, loses its identity, wastes away and becomes prey to the powers of darkness, not by virtue of an arbitrary decree, but by the nature of things. When oneness with Christ is lost, the baptized person is delivered up to the forces of evil. "If my Son is not to cast you off, I am obliged to entreat Him without ceasing."The present edition, from the foreword to chapter twelve inclusively, reproduces the text of the third edition, the last to appear in Father Jaouen's lifetime and, consequently, the last for which he bears responsibility. We hope that a direct contact with an author who was a master theologian, who had acquired an excellent knowledge of documentary sources, and who was a priest quickened with a deep piety toward Our Lady of La Salette whom he loved to invoke as the Lady of Compassion will help the reader to know better the grace bestowed upon the world on September 19, 1846.Fr. Jean Stern, M.S. Archivist, Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette Rome, 1981
