In 1947, in the small town of Montichiari in Northern Italy, nurse Pierina Gilli had an unforgettable vision while praying in the chapel of the local hospital. The Mother of God appeared to her in radiant light, sorrowful and with tears, her heart pierced by three swords. She asked for only three things: prayer, sacrifice, and penance.In a later apparition, the swords were replaced by three roses—white, red, and yellow—representing prayer, sacrifice, penance and conversion. Our Lady said: “I am the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of you.”Today, we hear from Judith Compton, who has been part of this apostolate in the UK since 1988, working alongside the late Mrs Gwen Maclaren. If you enjoyed this programme, please consider supporting us with a one-off or monthly donation.
