Our Lady of Pontmain (Our Lady of Hope)
1871
Feast Day: January 17
Patronage: Pontmain, France and Hope
In 1871, France was being devastated by the Franco-Prussian war. The Prussians were close to the town of Laval when on the evening of January 17, Eugene Barbedette and his brother Joseph saw an apparition of our Lady. A crowd gathered but only children could see the apparition, not adults. After the town gathered praying and singing, she told them that “God heard their prayers and fears and would answer their needs.” That same day, the Prussians halted their advances when their commander encountered an “invisible Madonna barring the way.” In May that same year, a peace treaty was signed. The local Bishop approved the apparition in 1872 and in 1908 the church was dedicated as a Basilica to Our Lady of Hope of Pontmain.

december is the most pious of months since is the month that we christians remember that our lord Jesus birthday is. even though it is a disputed date to be sure, let's us cast away any petty arguments and infuse in us the true spirit of love and charity all across the world. let's us recognize humanity as a big brotherhood and unite as one in love. there are no colours or labels, only the divine love of Jesus, the love that won the world.
with love, yugi kyogami

Did you know that the original icon of Our Lady of Kazan was brought to Russia from Constantinople? It happened in the 13th century, and in the 15th century, when the Khanate of Kazan was established, the image of the Virgin Mary with Jesus disappeared for more than a hundred years. It is also believed that the original piece was stolen and possibly destroyed in 1904. The thieves of the holy icon declared that it was cut to pieces and burnt, as what they coveted was actually the icon’s gold frame.

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska speaks about the last chapter of her book 'House of Gold' that presents Our Lady as the Queen of All Hearts and the Queen of Peace. She not only explains the history of Our Lady's title as our Queen Mother, but she provides the listener with a reflection as to what that means in the life of every Christian. After having concluded this preparation for Marian Consecration, Mary provides a prayer of Consecration to Our Lady's Immaculate and Sorrowful Infant Heart. (March 24, 2024)

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Cuando oren, no hablen mucho, como hacen los paganos: ellos creen que por mucho hablar serán escuchados. No hagan como ellos, porque el Padre que está en el cielo sabe bien qué es lo que les hace falta, antes de que se lo pidan. Ustedes oren de esta manera: Padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu Nombre, que venga tu Reino, que se haga tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día. Perdona nuestras ofensas, como nosotros perdonamos a los que nos han ofendido. No nos dejes caer en la tentación, sino líbranos del mal. Si perdonan sus faltas a los demás, el Padre que está en el cielo también los perdonará a ustedes. Pero si no perdonan a los demás, tampoco el Padre los perdonará a ustedes.

Love going to Dejavu Esoterica, I am obsessed with their altar to Our Lady!!! They've become one of my favorite witch shops. I was able to get my hands on some dragon blood roll on oils, a bath salt for my full moon ritual, and a moonstone piece with some nice flashes! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witch #catholicwitch #witchesofinstagram #witchcraft #dragonwitch #dragonmagic #fullmoon #moonstone #fullmoonritual #ourlady https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSt7egP184zl9w8eRcEbmgyWn4xJVKuCEI8ws0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our Lady of Banneux
(Our Lady of the Poor)
Feast Day: January 15th
From January 15 to March 2, 1933, in Banneux, Belgium, the Virgin Mary appeared 8 times to 11-year-old Mariette Beco, in a garden behind the Beco family's cottage. Calling herself the "Virgin of the Poor," Mary promised to intercede for the poor, the sick, and the suffering. Almost immediately, miracles occurred. In 1947 Bishop Kerkhofs of the Diocese of Liège approved the Marian apparition.
“I am the Mother of the Saviour, Mother of God. Pray a lot.”

Our Lady of Kazan is by far the most famous and widespread image of the Theotokos in Russian iconography. The legend goes that the icon was found in the ruins of the city of Kazan in 1579. Since then, many copies of the image have been made. In the past, they were believed to contain divine power and hence were carried into battles to help an army win. In the featured picture, you can see a 19th-century replica of the icon, which stands out with its darker tones.
