From January 15 to March 2, 1933, in Banneux, Belgium, the Virgin Mary appeared 8 times to 11-year-old Mariette Beco, in a garden behind the Beco family's cottage. Calling herself the "Virgin of the Poor," Mary promised to intercede for the poor, the sick, and the suffering. Almost immediately, miracles occurred. In 1947 Bishop Kerkhofs of the Diocese of Liège approved the Marian apparition.
“I am the Mother of the Saviour, Mother of God. Pray a lot.”
