Vatican City (Fides Service) - 2ND Apparition SUNDAY 14th FEBRUARY
«The second apparition was on the following Sunday. I went because I felt inwardly drawn to return to the place. But my mother had forbidden me to go. After high Mass I and the other girls went to ask my mother's permission. She was unwilling, she feared we might fall into the river. She thought I would not return in time for evening prayer. I promised I would and she let me go. I passed by the parish to fill a little bottle with holy water to throw at the vision at the grotto if I should see her again. When we reached the place we took out our rosaries and knelt down to pray. I had just finished the first decade when I saw the same Lady had appeared. I began to throw holy water in her direction asking her to stay if she came from God but otherwise to go. She smiled and bent over and the more I sprayed water the more she smiled and bowed her head and she made those signs... I was even more afraid and threw more and more water, all of it and the bottle was empty. When I have finished reciting my rosary she disappeared. That was the second time.» (J.M.)
