Our Lady of La Salette we plead for your help and intercession.

Come to me, my children, don't be afraid; I am here to tell you something of the greatest importance.
If my people will not submit, I shall be forced to
let fall the arm of my Son.
It is so heavy, so pressing that I can no longer restrain it.
JESUS: For how long a time do I suffer for you!
I don't want my Son to abandon you,
I am compelled to pray to him without ceasing;
And as to you, you don't care.
JESUS: “However much you pray, however much you do,
you will never recompense the pains I have taken for you.
I gave you six days to work,
I've reserved the seventh for myself and no one wants to grant it to me. ”
that's what weighs my son's hand down so much.

Go to mass on Sundays in reverence. Cease working on Sundays.
Do not swear using my Son’s name. Do not blaspheme the Holy Name of God.
Make Lent: keep the days of fasting and abstinence.
“Do you say your prayers well, my children?” “
Ah, my children, it is very important to do so,
at night and in the morning.
When you don’t have time, at least say
an ‘Our Father’ and a ‘Hail Mary’,
but when you can, say more.”
