Our Lady of La Salette


Our Lady of La Salette, Reconciler of sinners, 
pray without ceasing for us who have recourse to thee.


On 19 September 1851, Pope Pius IX formally approved the public devotion and prayers to Our Lady of La Salette, referring to the messages of the apparition as "secrets".

  1. I found a small shrine on the island of St Martin seven years ago. (I wonder if it survived Irma?)This was my introduction to this event. I read some but never found a coherent story or message. It seems a preview to Fatima in ways. Our Lady's sadness is emphasized in this message.

    1. dxv515 has pretty much convinced me that the one part of the secret that Melanie revealed later is actually authentic, especially since so many seem willing to admit longer definitions of the Fatima secret, it's entirely possible Melanie's version is authentic. Don't ask. :)

    2. I should note I only say that while keeping in mind the precautions of Saint Annibale Maria Di Francia:

      “Conforming to prudence and sacred accuracy, people cannot deal with private revelations as if they were canonical books or decrees of the Holy See. Even the most enlightened persons, especially women, may be greatly mistaken in the visions, revelations, locutions, and inspiration. More than once the divine operation is restrained by human nature. For instance who could ratify in full all the visions of Emmerich and St. Brigid, which show evident discrepancies? I love very much the private revelations of holy persons, but never I accept them in full!"

    6. Hubo temblor in Los Angeles?

      News to me but then again we Angelenos get used to it as we all know this happens when the Giant gently rolls over onto his belly as he slumbers deep within the confines of the deep, cool, dark earth.

  2. Recently the original secrets were accidentally found while research was being done on some other apparitions. The Children wrote them when they were still young, then later wrote them again. The early ones are very different than the later ones. The later version was more dire and apocalyptic - a sign that time allows ones imagination to go wild - even for visionaries. If you read the early ones, they are very much a forerunner of Fatima, and a stark warning for the Church. We are living in very precarious times.

    1. Can You be specific or refer me to a site that is credible about this? I never have read anything that is clear about the message other then repentance for sins. Our Lady's dress and Russian like tiara is different from any other apparition. Her weeping and extreme sadness also seems significant and different.

    2. It's in book I'm reading by Emmett o'Regan. It has the two versions of the secrets one right after the other. It also gives the entire history of the original secrets.

    3. Which book are you referring to? I want to read it and he has written several.
