Go and Fear Nothing: The Story of Our Lady of Champion - Patrick O'Hearn

by Patrick O'Hearn

Go and Fear Nothing brings to life for young people this incredible real-life story and Our Lady's message of praying for the conversion of sinners, learning our Catechism, receiving the sacraments with devotion, and relying on her unfailing help. When we doubt ourselves or feel we need to make excuses for our weaknesses, we can remember Our Lady's words to Adele: "Go and fear nothing. I will help you."

The apparition of Our Lady of Champion is the only approved Marian apparition in the United States. Our Blessed Mother appeared to Adele Brice, a Belgium immigrant, near the town of Champion, Wisconsin in 1859. Among other familiar messages that include penance for conversion of sinners , Our Lady said to Adele, “Teach them their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, and how to approach the sacraments; that is what I wish you to do. Go and fear nothing, I will help you.”
