Feastday: 19th of September
On 19 September 1846, in the mountain pastures above the village of La Salette in Isรจre, two shepherd children, Maximin Giraud and Mรฉlanie Calvat, said they had met a โBeautiful Ladyโ in tears, all in light. She entrusted them with a message of conversion, for โall her peopleโ. After 5 years of rigorous investigation, the bishop of Grenoble, Msgr Philibert de Bruillard, issued a mandate recognising the authenticity of the apparition.
Two children spoke of having met with a โBeautiful Ladyโ in the countryside where their cows were grazing, above the village of La Salette. Maximin Giraud was 11 and Melanie Calvat was 14.
At first seated and weeping, the โBeautiful Ladyโ stood up and, in French and in local dialect, she spoke to them for a long time about her Son, drawing examples from their own lives. She gave them a message and told them to ensure that it was
passed on to all of the people.
The light in which she wasbathed and which enfolded all three of them came from a large crucifix which she wore upon her chest, bearing also a hammer and pliers on the cross bar. She was wearing a heavy chain upon her shoulders and, to the side, roses. Her head, her body and her feet were surrounded by roses. Then the โBeautiful Ladyโ moved up a short steep rise and disappeared into the light.
On the 19th September 1851, after a long and rigorous enquiry, Msgr. Philibert de Bruillard, the Bishop of Grenoble, declared in a celebrated mandate that: โ...the apparition of the Blessed Virgin to two shepherds on the moun- tain of La Saletteโฆhad all of the characteristics of truth and that the faithful had good grounds to believe in it, accepting it as certain beyond doubt.โ (๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ต๐ต๐ฑ๐ด://๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ฆ.๐ค๐ฆ๐ง.๐ง๐ณ/๐ฆ๐ฏ/๐ฉ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ/)
