Guillaume d'Alançon, director of the Institute for the Family in Europe (l’Institut pour la Famille en Europe), explains what the "Mary who heals married couples" sessions are:
At a time when the family is constantly under attack, the "Mary who heals married couples" sessions are a great opportunity for spouses to strengthen their marriages, or to repair or even resuscitate their love. These sessions, only 24 hours long, are led by priests who aim to give a supernatural impetus to families. Despite our wounds, human limitations and personal sins, Divine Mercy always has the last word.
Jesus chose to have a mother, and he gave her to us from the cross. It would be a mistake to deprive ourselves of such a gift! Mary is the most wonderful of mothers. Did she not worry about Jesus when he wandered off at the age of 12? She cares for us in the very same way. As the creature who is closest to him, she is our best ambassador to her Son. And here’s another thing: she is the one who crushed the head of the Serpent ... and married couples know how much the evil one can be on the prowl! So let us seek refuge under her cloak and put our homes under her protection! This is the meaning of the novena to ‘Mary who heals married couples,’ distributed by thousands of copies.
The Institute for the Family in Europe is also responsible for the creation of Louis and Zélie Martin Centers. Some testimonials sent by couples following these sessions are close to miraculous. The Virgin Mary can obtain for us tremendous graces from her Son! All we have to do is ask for them.
