Our Lady of Knock
The potato crops in Ireland had failed for many years. The people had their Catholic faith, but even so it was hard to keep up hope when they were so hungry. Many Catholics were even promised food if they would give up their faith! They prayed to Mary, Cause of Hope, for help.
One
summer evening in 1879 it was raining in Knock, Ireland. Suddenly,
Mary, St Joseph, and the Apostle St John, appeared in a blaze of light
outside the Church of St. John the Baptist! Behind them, near St. John,
were a cross and a lamb on top of an altar. Adoring angels were all
around. Mary was praying and raising her hands toward heaven. St.
Joseph was preaching, dressed like a bishop. The people watching this
amazing sight were drenched with rain but the ground under the image
was dry! The people stood watching and praying the rosary for two hours
as the scene continued. They were strengthened in hope and in love. It
was as if they had been invited into the home of Mary - she had lived
first with St. Joseph, her husband, then in the home of St. John, the
son Jesus gave to her when he was dying on the cross.
Our Lady of Knock, please bring me into your home.
Help me to learn to be modest and share my love with others the way you did!
The Pilgrim Queen
Pray together as a family and honor Mary as a special guest in your home.
