A victim for the 20th Century: During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries there lived in Quito, Ecuador, a Spanish nun whose little-known but extraordinary life has a direct connection with our days.

Herein is a translation of this marvelous promise taken from an old parchment containing the consoling words of the Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Confidence.

The concept of Our Lady of Sorrows comes from the prophecy of Simeon who, thirty-three years in advance, foretold to Our Lady that a sword would pierce her heart.

The origins of the devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel is based on the visions of Saint Elias.

This is the story of an eggshell-thin fresco of Our Lady which flew all the way from Albania centuries ago and can still be seen today in Genazzano, Italy.
