It was beautiful to pray all together to Our Lady!

Here is an excerpt of an interview that American professor Robert Moynihan had with Mgr Vigano (1) on July 29, 2019:

“What is your deepest prayer?”

“My deepest prayer,” Vigano said, “is ‘Come, Lord Jesus.’”

Vigano suddenly fell silent as if filled with an unexpected emotion. His expression changed. His eyes began to glisten as if with incipient tears. He took a deep breath and began to speak.

“The memory is certainly one of the major gifts we have received from the Lord. He made us able to have impressed in our minds the most beautiful experiences that we have been living. And for me certainly, my memory is helping me, in the sense that one of the first memories that I have, was being carried in my mother’s arms, when I was about two years old, down into a bomb shelter during the bombardment of Milan during the Second World War. There was a little image of Our Lady there, with a light, and we started praying the Rosary, with all of my brothers.

This deep, emotional memory of Mary left its mark throughout my life. I remember that in those years we prayed the Rosary every evening after dinner, all together, my father being just back from his work, and able to pray with us, sustaining those of us who had started sleeping. I remember how beautiful that was, to pray all together to Our Lady, Our Mother. To be in my mother’s arms and to be praying, in the shelter. So I am saying that a devotion to Our Lady has always been reassuring me, continually, from the beginning.”
