La Salette Apparitions – Mariology Without Apology: A Masterclass in Mariology No. 20
Views 92
Join Dr. Mark Miravalle and Dr. Robert Fastiggi as they discuss the messages from the Church-approved apparitions at La Salette and the controversy surrounding a later alleged message.
In this Mariology Masterclass, Dr. Mark Miravalle and Dr. Robert Fastiggi explore the 1846 La Salette apparition, where Our Lady appeared to Mélanie and Maximin, delivering a Church-approved message of mercy and warning. She wept, urging conversion due to Sabbath neglect and blasphemy, saying, “Six days I have given you, the seventh I have kept for myself” (cf. 'Exodus 20: 8-11'), and linking sin to consequences like famine and disease (cf. 'Deuteronomy 28: 15-68'). Her role as Co-Redemptrix shines through, suffering to hold back Christ’s justice (cf. 'Colossians 1: 24'), a theme echoed in Fatima’s call to sacrifice (cf. 'Matthew 16: 24'). The approved message, affirmed in 1851 by the Bishop of Grenoble, aligns with Scripture’s covenant warnings (cf. 'Jeremiah 11: 1-11') and the Catechism’s call to honor God (CCC 2197-2257). The 1851 secrets predict France’s faith decline and papal persecution, fulfilled in events like John Paul II’s survival (cf. '2 Peter 3: 9'). However, Mélanie’s 1879 elaborations, claiming “Rome will lose the faith,” contradict 'Matthew 16: 18' and were condemned by the Holy Office, landing on the Index. This video clarifies La Salette’s authentic call to prayer and penance (CCC 1430-1439), distinguishing it from unapproved apocalyptic distortions, urging viewers to live its biblical essence amidst modern challenges (cf. 'Revelation 2: 4-5'). Healings at La Salette affirm its grace, reinforcing its relevance for today’s faithful seeking mercy and fidelity.
