Bruno
Cornacchiola was born on May 9, 1913 in a poor agnostic family of five
children. He became a Christian in an Adventist church, which was
hostile to the pope.
As a
radical Protestant, he intended to kill Pope Pius XII, until the Virgin
Mary appeared to him at Tre Fontane (Rome) on April 12, 1947. Tre
Fontane is where Saint Paul (whose name was Saul before his conversion)
was beheaded.
On April
12, 1947, Bruno had taken his three children to play ball on a field
near Tre Fontane; the ball was lost, a search began. Then one of the
children, Gianfranco, suddenly knelt at the entrance of a grotto,
saying: "The beautiful lady!" The other children came and knelt too,
repeating: "The beautiful lady!" Their father tried to pull them away
but they had become extremely heavy and he could not move them.
Entering
the grotto, Bruno Cornacchiola had the sensation that two white hands
"removed something from his eyes," and after a moment of darkness, he
saw her too ... The beautiful Lady said: "You are persecuting me, stop
now! Return to the holy fold. Ask the people to pray, and to recite the
Rosary daily for the conversion of sinners, the unbelievers, and for the
unity of Christians."
