THE MADONNA IN TEARS Our Lady of La Salette Mary tried to help the world in 1830 , in  1836 and in 1840 . But the world paid little heed. Some souls were led back to God through the  Miraculous Medal , the Archconfraternity of the Immaculate Heart and the Green Scapular . Some miracles of grace were worked, as in the case of Alphonse Rathisbonne . But the world as a whole ignored Mary’s message. Millions continued to pursue their goals of wealth, power and pleasure.

They lived near the religious house of the Order of Mercy ( de Mercede ) and devoted themselves to works of Christian charity.
