Why Our Lady Of Laus Still Matters Today

Send us Fan MailA forgotten mountain valley in the French Alps became a place where thousands rediscovered peace, not through spectacle, but through confession, mercy, and a Mother’s steady patience. We walk through the approved Marian apparitions of Our Lady of Laus and the life of Benoîte Rencurel, a poor teenage shepherdess whose simple prayer and obedience became the doorway to one of the longest-lasting apparitions in Church history.We talk about what makes Laus unique: Mary’s title “Refuge of Sinners,” the consistent call to conversion of heart, and the way the shrine becomes a sanctuary built around the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Along the way, we explore why this message feels surprisingly current for modern Catholic life, especially when anxiety, distraction, and wounded relationships make it tempting to drift from the sacraments instead of running toward them.We also touch on the blessed oil of Laus and the wider role of Catholic sacramentals as visible reminders of God’s care, plus the Church’s careful discernment that culminates in the official approval of the apparitions in 2008. If you want a practical, hope-filled nudge back to confession, deeper devotion to Mary, and a calmer, steadier walk with Jesus in the Eucharist, this journey is for you.Subscribe for more stories of saints, shrines, and Catholic tradition, and if this helped you, share it with a friend and leave a review.Our Lady of Laus items at Journeys of FaithOpen by Steve Bailey Support the showJourneys of Faith brings you Super Saints PodcastsChat with US 24/7 Ask us anything https://chatting.page/mjxs9aerrtgm3lmpndlcepmbyosntrjnDownload Journeys of Faith App for Iphone or Android FREE https://journeysoffaith.com/pages/download-our-appPlease consider subscribing to this podcast or making a donation to Journeys of Faith Help us Grow!Journeys of Faith is blessed to provide Catholic media, including podcasts and inspirational content, free of charge across multiple media platforms for viewers and listeners around the world.
