Une Minute avec Marie
Faire connaître et aimer Marie
Leonard the Dominican, as we read in the chronicles of his order, who was accustomed to recommend himself two hundred times a day to this mother of mercy, when he was on his death-bed, saw one beautiful as a queen by his side, who said to him: "Leonard, do you wish to die and come to my Son and me?"
"Who are you?" answered the religious.
"I am the mother of mercy," replied the Virgin. "You have many times invoked me, and now I come to take you: let us go to paradise."
On that same day Leonard died, and we hope that he followed her to the kingdom of the blessed.
