In the seventh apparition of Montichiari, on 8/12/1947, Our Lady showed her Immaculate Heart to Pierina Gilli and said, “Look at this Heart which loves Humanity so very much, but most people only shower offenses upon it. If the good and the bad unite in prayer they will obtain mercy and peace through this Heart. The Lord is still protection the good and is holding back a great punishment because of my intercession. I have already prepared a flood of graces for all the children who listen to my words and keep them in their hearts.”
