The Apparitions of Our Lady
in Le Fréchou, France.
On June 10, 1977,
She said to her confidant,
Reverend Father Jean Marie:


I am Mary, Mother of Mercy and Mother of the Church.
I desire of my children to come here on a pilgrimage.
I shall come on the first* and fourteenth of each month...
and I shall listen to the supplications of my people.
My Divine Son has chosen this piece of land for me,
so that I make my Mercy burst forth here.
May this blessed forest, which is from now on
consecrated to me,
be a place of prayer, penance and mercy.

While tears were running down Our Lady's face,
Father Jean Marie asked her interiorly the reason for her tears.
She answered him:

I am weeping over the Church, over France
and over the World.

*During one of her Apparitions, Our Lady said that in the future she would only come on the 14th.
Today, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing for over 30 years to Father Jean Marie.
30 years of signal graces, miracles, varied as well as numerous; 30 years which witnessed thousands and thousands of pilgrims, flocking in from around the world, coming and kneeling at the foot of the Immaculate One, in this little Forest, to present their supplications to Her. For they have put their trust in the words from this Good Mother:

"(…) I shall listen to the supplications of my people."

And She, the Faithful Virgin, kept her word. How many can testify
to her motherly goodness, how many can attest to most astounding miracles,
of which they have been the fortunate beneficiaries.
And who has not shed tears of emotion during
the Holy Mass of the Apparition?



When Heaven bends over the earth and opens up to let her benefit from its most precious treasure: the Admirable and Most Humble Virgin Mary, Queen of Angels of men: how moving it is for he, who has been chosen to be Her Confidant, Father Jean Marie.
It is like a moment of Eternity, which envelops the earth in a very specific time.

And the humble people just cannot be wrong about it. They recognize and feel, within their innermost, that Mary Immaculate visits the earth. But there are unspeakable emotions, inner feelings. You have to experience them, be part of them to comprehend. You have to be there in person, at the feet of this Good Mother to touch that something so difficult to catch, to taste this rest of the heart, in this humble haven of peace.

It is little Elodie, age 6, who comes and thanks Our Lady of Frechou for having healed her legs. Indeed, her knees were so close to each other that she could hardly walk. Now, as soon as she arrived at the blessed Forest's entrance, she, her mother and grandmother realized that her legs were quite straight, with no longer any abnormality!

Didier, Bridget and many others, as for them, had the grace to contemplate the Holy Face in the host during the Holy Mass of the Apparition.

A completely disabled pilgrim, who could move but on a wheel chair, suddenly recovered full usage of her legs on a 14th, during Holy Mass.
