OUR MOTHER D’IRON, DUNOIS, FRANCE (1631) - 06th July

 The village of St. Sulpice-le-Dunois is a small village located near the center of France. There was a young French couple living in the village at that time who felt 

    themselves blessed. They took pleasure in their youth and enjoyed good health, had gainful employment, owned a modest home and they had recently been blessed with a fine baby whom 

    they felt was as sweet as the Babe of Bethlehem. Thus, they mused on their way home together after morning Mass. As soon as they entered their home, 

    Pierre hurried to the cradle to gaze lovingly at his infant son. The child must have been restless as there was evidence that he had struggled with the bedclothes which were 

    tossed about and tangled strangely about the infant. Pierre reached in and lifted his son to hold him in his arms, only to find that the tiny figure was rigid and cold. Stunned, 

    he called for his wife disbelieving, for it seemed their baby was dead! Pierre’s thoughts turned to Our Blessed Mother and then to the statue of Our Mother D’Iron at the parish 

    Church. They had spent many hours there in the past praying for her assistance and her help had never failed them. They determined to take their baby there instantly! Surely, 

    Mary would not fail them in this time of dire need. Together they entered the Church and sadly laid the lifeless form at the feet of the statue of Our Mother D’Iron. 

    As they began to pray for her intercession, they dedicated their baby to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In that very instant, the child cried out and came back to life. 

    News of the miracle spread far and wide, and the fame of Our Mother D'Iron was assured.
