Une Minute avec Marie
Faire connaître et aimer Marie
A Cistercian Chronicle reports that in the 12th century, Blessed Bertram, an Italian monk, from the Cerredo Abbey in Lombardy, "was charmed by an angel" with whom He entered "a temple where he found the Blessed Virgin Mary, surrounded by the patriarchs, the apostles and the other troops of the celestial fatherland". The Mother of God said to him: "You can be certain Bertram that I was glorified in body and soul and raised from among the dead".
