I
went back each day for fifteen days, and each time, except one Monday
and one Friday, the lady appeared and told me to look for a stream
and wash in it and to see that the priests build a chapel there. I
must also pray, she said, for the conversion of sinners. I asked her
many times what she meant by that, but she only smiled. Finally, with
outstretched arms and eyes looking up to heaven, she told me she was
the Immaculate Conception.
