Siggiewi - Our Lady of Girgenti

During a vision In the 1950's, Our Lady asked Guza Mifsud to make a picture of her as she was seeing her at that moment and to give it the title of “Our Lady of Consecration". On Our Lady's instructions, Guza modified a holy picture she had in her book of prayers and took it to a photographer for enlargement. In August 1986, Guza said that Our Lady had told her, "I was consecrated to God since I was very young but no one in the world has given me this title. It has pleased me to bring it down to you myself so that you tell them about it..." Guza Mifsud also declared to have seen the Blessed Virgin at Girgenti, a very fertile and beautiful district on the outskirt's of Siggiewi where she he helped her family on their farmland. Guza claimed that when during her break she went to the valley to pray, she saw a great light on a loquat tree. During that vision Our Lady was wearing a white dress and blue mantle and asked Guza to pray for the conversion of sinners. Guza drew an image of this vision and entitled it Our Lady of Girgenti. Guza Mifsud, the visionary, was born In Siggiewi, Malta, on January 27, 1923. She was the youngest of seven children and led a very holy and humble life. When she was about twenty eight old, the Blessed Mother told her in a vision to spread devotion towards the new title "Our Lady of Consecration. Guza also claimed to have received messages from Jesus in the Eucharist and various saints and blessed souls. She delivered these messages during the prayer meetings organised at Girgenti. She died at her home on October 28, 1998 and is buried at the cemetery dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Siggiewi. |
