I’ll never forget what happened in Mother Mary's Lady's Chapel
For more than 20 years, I have experienced the beauty and loving presence of Mother Mary—especially while visiting sacred sites devoted to her. Yet it wasn’t until a retreat in England with Robin Rose that I truly felt and knew the depth of her love.
We arrived at Glastonbury Abbey, where the Lady’s Chapel stands—a sacred space where the Mother Mary and Archangel Michael ley lines intersect at the altar. I had visited this chapel years before and felt Mary’s presence, but this time… it was beyond anything I had ever experienced.
That morning, I was emotional. As we sat quietly, Robin invited each of us, one by one, to come forward, place our hand on the altar, and ask Mother Mary to remove what no longer served us.
By the time it was my turn, my emotions had welled up, and I was sobbing. I stepped forward, placed my hand on the altar, and asked Mary to heal my heart.
And in that very moment… everything shifted.
The tears stopped. A profound sense of peace came over me—gentle, loving, and all-encompassing. I had never felt such unconditional love. Even now, as I remember this experience, I can feel her presence.
This same love and peace is what I experience every time I am in Lourdes.
Whether standing in the Grotto, entering the sacred healing baths, walking in the Marian processions, or sitting in prayer within the basilicas—her presence is there. Tangible. Loving. Transformative.
The three basilicas rise one upon another in a beautiful, stair-like formation. The middle one—the original crypt—is especially powerful for me. It is there that I feel the oneness of all energy and hear Mary’s guidance most clearly.
I still remember my first time in the healing baths, filled with water from the sacred spring. Surrounded by her love, I emerged feeling light, joyful—almost giddy. It truly felt like a sacred baptism in her presence.
It is this love… this peace… this deep, soul-level connection that we are honored to share with you.
This October, Robin Rose and I will be leading a beautiful group of souls through this sacred pilgrimage—an experience of healing, expansion, spiritual awakening, and Divine love.
For those who may not yet know Robin, she has had visitations from Mother Mary since the age of four. Her book, Mother Mary and the Undoing Process, shares her experiences, teachings, and messages from Mary. It is a deeply powerful and transformative work.
To me—and to so many who have met her—Robin carries the essence of Mother Mary’s love. There have been moments in my own life when I have needed comfort, and simply being in her presence or receiving a hug from her brought the same peace and reassurance I felt in the Lady’s Chapel.
If you feel even the slightest pull in your heart… trust it.
We would be truly honored to welcome you to Lourdes and walk this sacred journey with you.
With love and blessings,
Joelle St. Germaine
