The Miracles

The Miracles of Our Lady are divided into four parts, each of which contains six miracles. The first part tells of the Virgin Mary's intervention in the lives of children, while the second part tells of her intervention in the lives of adults. The third part tells of her intervention in the lives of the sick and the dying, while the fourth part tells of her intervention in the lives of those who are in danger.

The miracles are all different, but they all share a common theme: the Virgin Mary's love for her people. She is always willing to help those who call upon her, and she is always there to protect them from harm. The miracles are a testament to the Virgin Mary's power and to her love for all people.
