"I was weeping my heart out, and I said, 'Blessed Mother, will you help me?' From then on...I felt protected...I had a friend."

"I was praying in front of a very ancient statue of Our Lady holding the Christ Child, and as I was praying, a woman came up to me and grabbed me and said, 'You must come with me.' So I followed her around the altar to a back hallway and a big door. She unlocked the door and said, 'You pray here.' The door led to a small chapel of Jesus Christ the Nazarene.
