Understand the Importance of Prayers and Sacrifices A retired Roman Catholic archbishop (visiting as a pilgrim) and Nancy's friends were in the apparition room in her home. The Blessed Mother appeared to Nancy and said, "I am Blessed Virgin Mary.
"Please offer your prayers and sacrifices for peace. This is a most urgent request from Heaven."
"My dear Bishop, my dear children of God, from my Immaculate Heart I send forth to all of you rays of love.
"My dearest daughter, you must pray much more. Through your prayers and sacrifices, many souls are being returned to my Son. Please understand the importance of prayers and sacrifices. With your help I am able to help you. Please offer your prayers and sacrifices for peace. This is a most urgent request from Heaven.
"My children are coming in great numbers here. You must preserve your prayer life."
Since Jesus has asked Nancy many times to test each vision and message, George reminded Nancy to test this apparition. Nancy said the Blessed Mother then smiled and said, "I am Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. I bow down to God the Father. By decree of God, I am the Immaculate Conception." At that moment Nancy said the Blessed Mother was beautiful and said there was much light as she ascended and departed. As the Blessed Mother departed, Nancy closed her eyes and could then still see the Blessed Mother interiorly.
