The Virgin Mary returns to France 1876

Join John Carpenter, Donald Hartley, and the Deeper Truth research team as they review another Marian apparition.

Mary appeared at Pellevoisin (Indre) to Estelle Faguette, a young woman suffering from tubercular peritonitis at the end of her life, and announced her cure, which became effective at the fifth apparition. She then presented her with the scapular of the Sacred Heart and asked her to make it known.

In 1876 in the village of Pellevoisin, Estelle Faguette lay dying, at the age of 33, of pulmonary tuberculosis, acute peritonitis and an abdominal tumor. On the 10th of February 1876, one of the doctors consulted, Doctor Benard of Buzançais only gave her a few hours to live. During the night of the February 14th, she claimed to witness the first of fifteen apparitions of the Blessed Virgin and was healed.

Doctor Benard of Buzançais only gave her a few hours to live. She was suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, an acute peritonitis and an abdominal tumor.

The Virgin appears for the fourth time and tells Estelle: "I am all merciful and hold sway with my Son" as well as " Have courage, patience and resignation; you will suffer and will not be free of troubles; try to be faithful and make known my glory"

The Virgin appears for the fifth time and asks Estelle to be faithful to Her. When Mary disappears, she encounters great pain and suffering but offers it to God. Her right arm remains numb but gains use of it later when a priest suggests it will be healed for her to make the sign of the cross.

The Virgin appears for the sixth time. She is completely surrounded by light and dressed in white. She looked at something, crossed Her hands over her chest and smiled saying: "Stay calm my child, patience, it will be difficult for you, but I am with you". She said "Courage, I shall return".
