                13^ APPARITION 
                  Date: Wednesday 31st May  
                  Time: 20:00 
                  Attendance: about 350.000 people 
                  Vision: the Holy Family | 
               
               
                | The flow of 
                  pilgrims from everywhere carried on uninterruptedly since the 
                  night before, so much so that the authorities were worried for 
                  the public order. It is held that more than 90.000 people arrived 
                  form Piedmont, many of which on foot. That afternoon, the sun 
                  rays were scorching, the crowd huge. Towards 18:30, Adelaide 
                  was carried by a commissioner to the place of the apparitions 
                  in his arms. Adelaide complained of sharp pains in her inside. 
                  The doctors consulted together. In spite of the pain, nobody 
                  could persuade her to go home. Then, suddenly, she got up on 
                  her feet and started praying. After some time, she said firmly: 
                  "She is coming any moment now! ". She let out a deep 
                  sigh and her look became clear and radiant. The holy Family 
                  was there.  |

                   From Adelaide's diary: 
                    Our Lady appeared at eight that day. She was dressed like 
                    in the first apparition. She smiled but not so cheerfully 
                    like on the other occasions, but her voice was sweet.  
                     
                    She said: Dear 
                    daughter, I am sorry I must leave you, but my time has passed. 
                    Do not lose heart if you do not see me for a while. Think 
                    of what I have told you; I will come back in your hour. You 
                    will be a little martyr in this valley of real sorrows. Do 
                    not get discouraged, I wish my triumph to happen soon. Pray 
                    for the Pope and tell him to act quickly because I want to 
                    be solicitous to everyone in this place. Anything is required 
                    from me, I will intercede with my Son for it. I will be your 
                    award if your martyrdom is cheerful. These words of mine will 
                    be of great comfort to you in your trials. Endure everything 
                    patiently and then you will reach me in Paradise. Those who 
                    make you suffer intentionally will not come to Heaven if they 
                    do not make amends for their wrongs and do not repent deeply. 
                    Cheer up, because we will meet again, my dear little martyr. 
                     
                     
                    I felt a sweet and gentle kiss on my forehead, then she disappeared 
                    like she had done the other evenings.  
                     
                    N. B. The two white doves preceded each visit of Our Lady. 
                    The Blessed Virgin always had white roses on her feet ".

                | The 
                  solar phenomenon was observed also on the 31st May, both at 
                  Ghiaie and in other places. Many recoveries took place on that 
                  day. |
