Our Loving Mother of Mercy (III)

Estelle Faguette received the 15th and the last apparition of the Blessed Virgin on the 8th of December 1876, feast of the Immaculate Conception. That day, she asked Mary what was to become of her. The Blessed Virgin said that she would see her no more, that she would be with Estelle, but invisible. Holding out the scapular, which Mary had asked Estelle to sew, she asked her to kiss it. Then the Blessed Virgin said, “You must go yourself to see the Prelate and show him the kind of scapular you have made. Tell him that helping you pleases me as much as seeing my children wear the scapular and turn away from all that insults my Son, as they receive the sacrament of His love and do everything possible in reparation of past sins. See the graces that I shall pour out over all those who wear the scapular with trust in me and spread this devotion.” As she said these words, she held out her hands and drops like rain fell down generously from them; and within each drop a grace was clearly written: health, trust, love, respect, holiness, etc. All the graces that exist could be seen in greater or less amounts. She explained to Estelle that these graces came from her Son, straight from His heart. When the Blessed Mother started to leave, Estelle became very sad. Mary reassured her, “Be brave, if he [the Prelate] does not do what you desire, go higher up. Do not be afraid, I shall help you.” Then she turned a semicircle in Estelle’s room, near her bed, and disappeared.
