From Totus Tuus page: "In the midst of the devastating twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026, one powerful sign of hope emerged: a beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus remained completely intact. While buildings collapsed and chaos unfolded, this sacred image stood firm — a tender reminder of Our Lady’s maternal protection and intercession in times of great trial. Authorities were seen carefully moving the undamaged statue, capturing the hearts of the faithful worldwide. In the words of so many Catholics sharing this story: This is not mere coincidence, but a visible sign of God’s mercy and Mary’s powerful intercession — especially as Venezuela’s patroness, Our Lady of Coromoto, continues to watch over her people. Let us pray together: Hail Mary, full of grace... Holy Mother of God, Queen of Venezuela and all nations, comfort the grieving families, strengthen the rescuers, heal the wounded, and protect those still in danger. May this intact statue remind us that even in the greatest storms, Our Lady holds her Son close and extends her mantle over us."
As we rightly shed our tears, let us remember and never take our eyes off the Lord! John 16:33 I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
As Mary once held the Baby Jesus, may she cover all of us, all of her children, with her motherly Mantle of Protective Love!
