Spiritual Composure

Dona Lucilia’s conformity with the spirit of the Church made her a loyal fulfiller of its religious practices. In those bygone days of the 1920s, still fragranced with the sweet aroma of St. Pius X’s beneficial presence on the Pontifical Throne, she loved the sacral splendour with which the Liturgy …

Guiding Star During the Storm!

“It’s a miracle.” This is how Mrs. Glendy Tejero described the help she received from Heaven, through the intercession of Dona Lucilia, at a time when the doctors thought her son’s death was imminent. Glendy, a good Catholic and catechist, lives in the city of Mérida, Mexico. She is a …

A Mother Who Always Answers Her Children’s Pleas!

Under a Mother’s Protection

Let us imagine that we have managed to climb the face of a mountain until reaching its summit, where we find an enormous nest with an eagle’s nestling. Concealed behind a rock, we soon see the eagle returning to the nest from the hunt. In its claws is a quarry …

Relief for a Mother’s Heart

The profound alterations in mentalities and customs that shook the world in that historical context were followed by political revolutions. However, while in some countries revolutionary minorities provoked bloodbaths, in vast and laid-back Brazil, the reluctance to fight almost always overcame the desire to win. In most instances, political manoeuvring …

Motherly Corrections

Naughtiness and wrongdoings come up in the ordinary life of any child. Sometimes a window is broken, a cake is ruined, milk is spilled… Nevertheless, those whose are responsible for correcting faults must do so for the sake of the love for order and discipline, without giving way to disproportionate …

Even on the Other Side of the World…

An Attentive and Generous Mother

Miracles can happen at any moment for those whose hearts are full of faith. “All things are possible to him who believes” (Mk 9:23), the Divine Master teaches us. Indeed, when our difficulties are apparently insurmountable and doubts assail us, we feel that the time has come to implore help …

Innocence Throughout Her Life

The Ribeiro dos Santos family into which Lucilia was born, with their eminently traditional makeup, were monarchists to the core, in the same way that they were Catholics. The affective and psychological dispositions that made them feel at home in the monarchist ambit were similar to those they felt when …
