Dona Lucilia, Help Me!

Nothing foreshadowed the tremendous blow that Pamela Balda’s family would suffer that Thursday afternoon, on May 30, 2024. In the house where she lives with her parents and sister in Guayaquil, Ecuador, daily activities were going on as normal when, at around 1pm, her mother, Anita Mariela Desiderio Hinostroza, was …

A Soul of Harmonious Contrasts

Due to her magnanimity of soul, Dona Lucilia easily adapted to the will of others. Nothing disturbed her well-ordered inner equanimity. It was reminiscent of certain characteristically Brazilian rivers of the Amazon Basin. Tranquil in their banks, they serenely surround and cover the obstacles that arise along their course. Those …

Dona Lucilia Is Truly Beside Me!

In the gentleness of a smile or in a discreet intervention; as a friendly hand that reassures or a strong arm that supports; by a simple inner inspiration that is tantamount to salutary advice… In short, Dona Lucilia’s maternal help is felt in many different ways even by people who …

Serene, Solicitous and Motherly!

Many of Dona Lucilia’s devotees attest to the fact that, in moments of trial or anguish, invoking the presence of this kind lady often brings calm, healing, and remedy; in short, it spreads salutary rays of light in the midst of the dark storms of this life. Dona Lucilia knows …

It Is Easy to Confide in Dona Lucilia!

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. […] What is impossible with men is possible with God” (Lk 18:25, 27), declared the Divine Master. Today’s world preaches a different doctrine. Analysing facts …

Living Image of Another Mother: the Holy Church

Dr. Plinio was introduced to the ways of the Gospel and the sublime horizons of the Catholic religion by a living example, present before him at home: Dona Lucilia. From this “book” he learned what innocence, holiness, intransigence, prudence and wisdom are; it was in his mother that he best …

Kind Protection in Every Need

More than simply helping with difficulties or solving some intricate problem, Dona Lucilia’s maternal action in benefit of those who come to her for help is something much deeper and more effective than what might appear at first glance. In fact, the truly Catholic mother is not one who teaches …

What seemed to be the end was really the beginning…

April 21, 1968. Dona Lucilia Ribeiro dos Santos Corrêa de Oliveira lay in her apartment on her deathbed. The young Dr. Luiz Moreira Duncan, a friend of her son, Dr. Plinio, was in attendance since her private doctor, the eminent Dr. Abrahão Brickman, was out. Around 10 o’clock in the …

Truly Catholic Wife and Mother

The married state produced a marked deepening of Dona Lucilia’s supernatural spirit. Her soul became increasingly refined as hardships, sorrows, and illnesses multiplied. Faithful to her earlier custom, she would fold her hands and lift her eyes to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, beseeching Him, through the intercession of her …

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 …
