OUR LADY OF ALL GRACES






OUR LADY OF ALL GRACES


Feast of The Family


 


Fr. Noailles, when he wanted to consecrated the Association to Mary, he chose to do so under the title “Our Lady of All Graces”.


Mary is the mother of all the disciples of Jesus. All Christians can invoke her … God has wished that she be honoured in a special way in some places and that she show her power by abundant graces.  God also desired that the members of the Holy Family have their sanctuary where Mary’s tenderness for them would especially shine. This is the reason for the island of All Graces.


Visited mainly by priests, religious, associates, it is there that Mary grants the graces and favours reserved to the Family… It is there that all should come to obtain the: Family spirit, virtues proper to their vocation, gifts and strength specific to the mission…


How consoling and lovely it is to see the members of the Holy Family from all places and all the works stretching out their arms often to their common Mother, Our Lady of All Graces, losing themselves in the same love and thus creating a foretaste of that union that will  make of it a specific family in heaven.”


Pierre Bienvenu Noailles
