Our Lady of Garaison: A Shepherdess’ Visions, Miracles of Bread, and Preparing for Lent | Mary’s Message
In this episode of Mary’s Message: Leading Hearts to Jesus Today, hosts Kristi Murray and Father Perry Canton open with prayer (including the St. Michael prayer) and discuss “Our Lady of Zen,” focusing on a 10-year-old shepherdess named Angelise in the Pyrenees of southwestern France. Father Perry recounts how the Blessed Mother appeared to Angelise three times, asked that a chapel be built where she would “spread my gifts,” and how initial skepticism gave way as pilgrims arrived chanting hymns. He describes reported miracles tied to the apparitions, including black bread turning white and a household chest filled with white loaves, along with cures associated with the shrine—mentioning a notable 17th-century cure connected to the young Louis XIV, brought by his mother Anne of Austria. The episode covers the chapel’s enlargement in 1540, Angelise later becoming a nun and dying in 1582, and how pilgrimages were interrupted during the French Revolution and later impacted by clerical laws in 1903 before resuming, with the sanctuary eventually surrounded by parish buildings and a school. Father Perry notes the apparitions were recognized by Popes Urban VIII and Gregory XIV with indulgences granted to visitors, encourages listeners to look up the site, and reflects on trusting Mary amid doubt and anxiety. He also previews upcoming Lent content beginning with Ash Wednesday, offers practical spiritual encouragement about praying the rosary with attention, and invites listeners to ask their guardian angel’s name.
