"The feminine principle in the world
is the inexhaustible source
of creative realizations of the Father's glory.
She is His manifestation in radiant splendor!
But She remains unseen,
glimpsed only by a few...."
-Thomas Merton-
The Virgin Mary has always been very active in the spiritual realms as She focuses on the well-being of humanity as a whole. Religion and race do not matter to Her. There is a long history of what are termed Marian Apparitions that go back far into recorded history, the first being recorded by Saint James the Apostle (aka St. James the Great) in Zaragoza, Spain in AD 39. This is the earliest report of a Marian apparition and it occurred PRIOR to the Virgin Mary’s Assumption, meaning, she was still in physical body at the time. The most well-known of Marian Apparitions in Europe occurred in Lourdes, France. The Virgin Mary is still active here on the earth plane - She visits us as apparitions, an inner voice,and in dreams.
