The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows dates back to the Middle Ages, but it gained new popularity following the sightings of the Blessed Virgin Mary that occurred in the 1980s in Kibeho, Rwanda. During these sightings, which were approved by the Catholic Church, Mary asked that this special rosary be introduced to the world, and it was spread to thousands across the world. In this new book by bestselling author Immaculée Ilibagiza, readers will rediscover this important message from Mary. Immaculée not only shares it but explains Mary's specific teachings for how to pray it and the promises attached to the prayers. Real-life stories from people who have been healed through this prayer - including stage 4 pancreatic cancer - show its truly miraculous nature. Mary said, "Help me, my children, to spread this blessing, this prayer, I will reward those who will do."

Before the atrocities of the 1994 genocide, which left more than a million people dead, the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ appeared to eight young people in the remote village of Kibeho, Rwanda. They warned of the coming bloodshed, but prophesised that it could be averted if Rwandans opened their hearts to God and embraced His love. Their powerful spiritual message spread throughout the country, with thousands making pilgrimage and experiencing the miracles. Our Lady of Kibeho goes to the heart of these remarkable events. Immaculée Ilibagiza draws on her first-hand experiences, visiting the sites before and after the holocaust. There, she witnessed true miracles and had direct contact with the visionaries themselves. Her discoveries tell a powerful message of reconciliation, enlightenment and peace. This deeply personal and moving story is certain to help spread the message of love, hope and peace delivered in Kibeho throughout the world - a world desperately in need of Divine inspiration.

It's the greatest story never told: that of a boy who met Jesus and dared to ask Him all the questions that have consumed mankind since the dawn of time. His name was Segatashya. He was a shepherd born into a penniless and illiterate pagan family in the most remote region of Rwanda. He never attended school, never saw a Bible, and never set foot in a church. Then one summer day in 1982 while the 15-year-old was resting beneath a shade tree, Jesus Christ paid him a visit. Jesus asked the startled young man if he'd be willing to go on a mission to remind mankind how to live a life that leads to heaven.Segatashya accepted the assignment on one condition: that Jesus answer all his questions-and all the questions of those he met on his travels - about faith, religion, the purpose of life and the nature of heaven and hell. Jesus agreed to the boy's terms, and Segatashya set off on what would become one of the most miraculous journeys in modern history. Soon, this teenage boy who had never learned to read or write was discussing theology with leading biblical scholars and advising pastors and priests of all denominations. He became so famous in Rwanda that the Catholic Church investigated his story. His words and simple truths converted thousands of hearts and souls wherever he went. The answers to these and many other momentous, life-changing questions are revealed in this riveting book, which is the first full account of Segatashya's remarkable life story. Written with grace, passion, and loving humour by Immaculée Ilibagiza, Segatashya's close friend and a survivor of the Rwandan holocaust herself, this truly inspirational work is certain to move you in profound ways. No matter what your faith or religious beliefs, Segatashya's words will bring you comfort and joy, and prepare your heart for this life... and for life everlasting.

For three months in the spring of 1994, the African nation of Rwanda descended into one of the most vicious and bloody genocides the world has ever seen. Immaculée Ilibagiza, a young university student, miraculously survived the savage killing spree that left most of her family, friends, and a million of her fellow citizens dead.

In Led By Faith, Immaculée takes us with her as her remarkable journey continues and she struggles to find meaning and purpose in the aftermath of the holocaust.

Von 1981 bis 1989 erschien die Jungfrau Maria mehreren Jugendlichen der Kibeho High School. Die Erscheinungen begannen dreizehn Jahre vor dem Völkermord in Ruanda. Die Muttergottes rief die Menschen zur Umkehr und Versöhnung auf und übermittelte den Jugendlichen Botschaften für die Kirchenführer und die Regierung. Anfangs wurden sie verhöhnt und verspottet. Erst nachdem viele Zeichen und Wunder geschahen, pilgerten Tausende Menschen nach Kibeho, einem abgelegenen Dorf im Süden Ruandas.Die Erscheinungen von Kibeho sind die einzigen Marienerscheinungen in Afrika, die vom Vatikan für die Gesamtkirche anerkannt wurden.
