This artwork portrays the apparition of “a beautiful lady” to two children in La Salette, France in the mid-19th century. It is said to be a call from the Virgin Mary for the people of the world to return to God. Her deep desire for God’s children to repent is shown in her sorrowful tears.
Saint John Paul the Great said, “La Salette is a message of hope, for our hope is nourished by the intercession of her who is the Mother of mankind.”
Latino, Paul. Our Lady of La Salette.
