Our Lady of the Snow

By Nora V. Clemente-Arnaldo

Before you read this article, let me ask you: How would you use the wealth that God, in His generosity, has given you? If you have no children to inherit your wealth, to whom would you bequeath it?

This is a beautiful story taken from Marian Apparitions and Devotions by Sr. Mary Francis LeBlanc.

The story tells of a devout couple who lived in Rome in the fourth century. The husband’s name was John but history does not give the wife’s name. They were blessed with much wealth but their happiness was not complete. They had no children with whom to share their wealth and faith. They prayed hard for a son or a daughter but heaven seemed deaf to their plea.
