Help of the Weak and Hope of the Sick

“For some things, science has an explanation; for others, only God has the answer.” With these words, Patricia de Fátima Silva, from Rio de Janeiro State (Brazil), closes the account of how her young son underwent sixty-seven hospitalizations and seven hundred and fifty days of hospital treatment without shedding a …

Assistance, Protection and Security

T he words of the Psalmist could be applied to the incomparable goodness of Dona Lucilla towards those who implore her aid: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil” (Ps 23:4), for under her maternal shawl they find refuge, protection and …

Uncertain Human Solutions, Efficacious Divine Interventions

Jesus says in the Gospel that “every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Mt 7:8). And those who have recourse to the benevolent intercession of Dona Lucilia have found the gates of Divine Providence not only open, but …

Motherly and Infallible Assistance

Sudden healings, anonymous donations and unexpected solutions... How can these things be explained? For a more naturalistic spirit, they may seem the work of mere chance, but for souls who have had recourse to Dona Lucilia’s intercession, the answer is clear: they reveal not only the hand, but also the …

Synthesis of Kindness and Unbreakable Firmness

Discernment of psychologies was one of the many gifts with which Providence endowed Dona Lucilia for the perfect fulfilment of her mission as mother and educator. She similarly knew how to discern among the friends of Dr. Plinio, who were the true ones, from the occasional one that was not. …

Serene Pilgrimage Along the Path of Old Age

Certain wines, in order to give their best to those who will taste them, are stored in the solitude of deep cellars, out of the sunlight. There, over a period of years and decades, their flavour is refined, they acquire a rich bouquet, their harsh aftertaste mellows, and even their …

Constant Concern for Her Children’s Education

Dona Lucilia had outdone herself in providing the best possible education for her children at home. However, despite all of her concerns, in 1919, having reached the appropriate age, Plinio would have to be enrolled in school. She naturally chose the best in São Paulo, run by the Jesuit Fathers. …

Lucilian Piety

One of Lucilia’s favourite places to practise her piety toward the Mother of God was the Luz Convent in São Paulo. She had visited this wellspring of blessings since earliest childhood, on journeys from Pirassununga, her birthplace. It was there that her soul felt most in contact with the supernatural. …

Sublime Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Dona Lucilia’s boundless affection for her children did not stem from merely natural motives. It was rooted in devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to whom she prayed constantly, as her maternal words in a letter to Plinio, years later, reveal: “I was immensely pleased to know that when …

“I decided to implore Dona Lucilia’s intercession”

During her earthly life, Dona Lucilia always showed compassion for her neighbour by earnestly seeking to resolve the problems of anyone who turned to her. Today, from eternity, she continues to be a tireless protector of those most in need of help. One only needs to place a problem in …
