Paperback: I saw her and asked her what she wanted from me. At that moment, her image disappeared and the vision of a chapel came, so that I understood that the Holy Virgin wanted to be among us.
In September 1983, an ordinary woman from San Nicolás in Argentina, Gladys Quiroga de Motta, began to receive visions and later messages, from Our Lady, calling for a sanctuary to be built and for the world to take greater heed of the Word of God and the messages from her son Jesus.
The response by the people of Argentina has been phenomenal, with thousands of people making pilgrimages to the shrine on the 25th of each month (the anniversary of the first apparition), culminating in September, the anniversary of the date of the first apparitions.
The Bishop of San Nicolás, Mgr Castagna wholeheartedly supports Gladys and her visions, leading the pilgrimages, celebrating Mass, and overseeing the construction of the santuary. The apparitions were declared "worthy of belief" by the local ordinary Bishop Cardelli on 22 May 22 2016.
An Appeal from Argentina (1995) is translated from the Spanish by Anne Harriss and is dedicated to Our Lady. May She inspire her readers.
