Our Lady of Ocotlan

Our Lady of Ocotlan: Healing Waters, Mother’s Day Reflections, and Hope for FamiliesOn Mother’s Day, Cristy Murray and Father Perry Kenaston introduce the “Mary’s Messages” podcast and share the story of Our Lady of Ocotlan in Tlaxcala, Mexico. They recount the 1541 apparition to Juan Bernardo during a devastating smallpox epidemic, when Mary led him to a healing spring, promised health to those who drank even a drop, and asked that the Franciscans be told her image would be found and placed in the chapel at San Lorenzo. The next day, after a grove inexplicably burned, friars cut down a blackened tree and discovered an image of Mary in the trunk, verifying Juan’s account. They note later Church recognitions, pilgrimages from Guadalupe, a Marian healing well where visitors can fill bottles, and the annual May procession. The episode also includes prayers and encouragement for women facing infertility, mentioning Saint Colette, NaPro/Creighton approaches, and pro-life convictions.00:00 Welcome and Mothers Day00:46 Opening Prayer and Rosary01:52 Ocotlan Apparition Story05:24 Burning Tree and Image07:36 Shrine History and Popes10:24 Visiting the Sanctuary12:08 Healing Well and Water Tips14:04 Getting There and Name Meaning15:09 Mothers Day Reflections16:34 Infertility Prayer and Saint Colette18:59 Ethical Fertility and Pro Life23:41 Closing Prayers and Farewell🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Inform the Travel Company that you heard about the Pilgrimage from this podcast.  Divine Mercy Pilgrimage Link - Poland November 2026Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.
