In 1871, in a small village in Normandy, France, the villagers were in dread of the Prussian army advancing towards them. After begging Our Lady's intercession, Our Lady appeared to the children of this little town of Pontmain. A banner appeared at Her feet which read "But pray my children. God will answer your prayers in a little while. My Son let's Himself be touched." The next day, the Prussian army turned around and Pontmain was saved!
