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 …

Innocence Throughout Her Life

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 …

Living Lesson of the Gospel

“My attitude of soul with Mama was, without a doubt, one of tremendous and complete resonance,” commented Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira about his relationship with Dona Lucilia.
