* September 19 – Our Lady of Reconciliation of La Salette (1846)   * Mother Mary sends a message to “all her people” --- An initiative of the Mary of Nazareth Association  September 19 – Our Lady of Reconciliation of La Salette (1846)   Mother Mary sends a message to “all her people” During her apparition on the mountain of La Salette, near Grenoble (France), the Virgin Mary told two children to deliver a message to "all her people." The Bishop of Grenoble authenticated it on September 19, 1851. This year on September 19, 2015, there will be a celebration in honor of the 169th anniversary of the apparition. On Saturday, September 19, 1846, at about 3:00 pm, the Virgin Mary appeared on the mountain of La Salette. To witness her apparition, the Virgin Mary chose two young uneducated shepherds who had only just met each other the day before: Maximin Giraud, 11, and Melanie Calvat, 14. In this apparition, our Heavenly Mother cried tears to deflect the wrath of God, to pray for the conversion of sinners and to soften our hardened hearts. Today the Virgin Mary – who in La Salette carries on her person a heavy chain and a crucifix attached to a hammer and pliers – also mourns for her people and for the world, calling on the ungrateful to admit their errors and repair their wrong doings.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.
