May Jesus and Mary be loved by all hearts!
Advent is meant to be a quiet time so that we can stay close to the expectant Mother of God and reflect on holy things. Melanie entered into her final Advent in profound recollection. She chose a town in which she wasn’t known. She predicted her death years in advance. Our Lady was waiting for her in the early hours of Dec. 15th. We are already in the novena. Let us ask Melanie to help us make a holy Advent.

You can follow along with a digital booklet of the Apparition of LaSalette:

As we continue reflecting on the Rule of Mary, we need to grasp its implications for the Order of the Mother of God in the context in which it was delivered. Regarding the Habit, Melanie described it in detail. You can read it yourself in the Apparition book:

We need to consider the deeper question of whether a habit is relevant at all . . .
