Convent of the Immaculate Conception
We were blessed to stay at the convent only two blocks from the basílica and celebrate Mass with the mothers y escuchar un testimonio de vocación. The foundress, St. Beatriz, had to wait 30 years of trials and hidden life after the Lord told her that she was to found, until it could be realized. She died soon after.
The Lord gave Maria H. a new song at the convent: La Soledad (Solitude) -featured in this page. She sang it for the first time at the Mass there.
Soon, the multitudes will return home, and the basilica will return to how we saw it on a rainy night in 2011.
Will the experience remain on the surface and evaporate like the rain, or will we keep it in our hearts and ponder all that Our Lady did and taught us? She is counting on us to live as true victim souls with her to help her fulfill her plans for our lives and for the world.
Suffer all with me; no longer two but one in My sacrifice of love

Lourdes Pinto | December 8, 2016 –text & audio
