In her eight Apparitions to the little Mariette Beco (between 15th<\/sup> January and 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0March 1933), Mary only said no more than eighty words. The rest of her Message was manifested in her welcoming attitudes: the gesture of her hand, her smile, her sweetness and humility, her silent prayer, her direct eye contact, her manner of leading Mariette to the Spring while walking backwards, to confide a secret, her blessing\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Political twilight<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Apparitions and the Message of the Virgin of the Poor (that is the Shrine recalls each year in the Path of Prayer) were occurred at a particularly solemn moment in European History.<\/p>\n

In fact, the destructive rage of Nazism was already rumbling behind the scenes of the political stage in neighbouring Germany. Mary came for the first time to Banneux on 15th<\/sup> January 1933; fifteen days later, on 30th<\/sup> January, Adolf Hitler was named chancellor. Europe got slowly but certainly into darkness.<\/p>\n

Economic insecurity<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The economic and financial crisis that had exploded in 1929 made it feel painful effects particularly to modest populations and the working world. Likewise today, the anxiety about the future is tighter on isolated people and families.<\/p>\n

Spiritual weakening<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Church, Louis Jamin was a young priest of the diocese of Li\u00e8ge; he was in depression and full of doubt about his faith and vocation. He had been transferred to the chaplaincy of Banneux to regain his health; the chaplaincy is located in a little insignificant village in the \u201cblue Ardennes\u201d. He was also in the darkness like the rest of Europe\u2026 and like many priests and faithful people today.<\/p>\n

In the midst of economic crisis, anxiety, poverty and even misery, a mortifying ideology easily places its pawns on the chessboard of the destiny of humanity.<\/p>\n

A Light in the darkness!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Like in 1933, today, in such situation, Heaven opens itself up in Banneux to give to all nations a new hope and to reveal the presence of the unique Spring reserved for all: as a prophetess, the \u201cVirgin of the Poor\u201d leads the sick, the poor, and all the nations to the \u201cSpring\u201d that is Christ!<\/p>\n

God wishes to speak to his people through the most humble and quiet women so as to give them hope at all times, and He reminds them, \u201cI am with you always, to the end of the age.\u201d<\/em> (Mt 28:20).<\/p>\n

For Mary always appears to us as \u201cA Light in the Darkness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
