Description:It all begins one lovely morning in the spring of 1941. After attending early morning mass, eleven-year-old Lucia Buonfiglio ambles into Pelham Bay Park to feed the squirrels and enjoy the solitude. Suddenly, the Virgin Mary appears to her and says: "These are bad times. War rages in Europe. The fires of faith burn low. Tell all that you saw me, the thornless rose, and ask them to believe. It is a difficult job, my daughter. Yet it has to be done." Lucia is a wonderfully smart, ardently Catholic girl. Loving God as much as she does, Lucia has no doubt about her vision. But nobody believes her: not the nun at school who reviles her, not the unscrupulous journalist who exploits her, and certainly not the archbishop of New York, who tries to squelch this incident, which is threatening to assume international proportions. As Lucia finds out, steadfast (and selfless) faith is a rare thing in our profane world. With its superbly drawn characters and its nostalgic re-creation of life in New York before World War II, The Miracle of Pelham Bay Park is a novel with enormous human appeal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
