Thanks for this story! We in the Upper Midwest are blessed to have an approved Marian shrine within driving distance.

Two springs ago, my family and I made a pilgrimage here with the intention of healing/helping an eye condition that my infant daughter was born with, and which we subsequently had a surgery scheduled to address; to our shock and surprise, the eye issue cleared up within days after leaving the shrine, and given other circumstances that I won’t go into for the sake of space, we fully credit Our Lady of Good Help’s intercession for this little minor miracle. It was a good feeling to have to call and cancel the surgery when it was no longer needed. Two years later the three year old is as good as ever.

When I told this story to my students, one of them astutely pointed out that Adele Brise had her own eye condition and may have a special affinity for those like my daughter. Here’s to hoping that she may be St. Adele someday!

Don’t want to be over-dramatic—it was a blocked tear duct, so not a serious condition, by any means—nevertheless, it healed just days after the visit to the apparition site after it was supposed to be able to on its own!
