Author: Most Rev. William Ullathorn.
It was only eight years after Our Lady
appeared to the children in south France, that Archbishop Ullathorne took up
his pen to defend the authenticity of the visitation. With Rome’s permission,
he wrote as a contemporary chronicler of the events, conducting interviews
with the seers and with the ecclesiastics who were involved. This is a reprint
of his 1854 book written following an interview with the children, Maximin and
Melanie, before the Church approved the apparition as authentic. The Blessed
Virgin was seen covered in roses and weeping “torrents of sparkling tears.”
In the preface, Fr. Joseph Collins says,
“Her menace of bad wheat and rotten grapes portends, with no real stretch of
the imagination, what the enemies of the Cross would soon accomplish regarding
her Divine Son’s clean oblation of the altar.”
This fine reprint will introduce many to
the events and message for the first time, and for those already acquainted
with La Salette, it will offer an important testimony from a dogmatically
sound archbishop who investigated the events personally.
227pp, sewn softcover.
