The year is 1467. Imagine you’re looking out at the stormy waters of the Adriatic Sea from an Italian coastal town and to your astonishment, you see two men walking on water, following an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her Son, Jesus. That image is now known as Our Lady of Good Counsel of Genazzano and can be seen to this day suspended in mid-air without any supports. I want to relate the history of this miraculous image, which involves a great warrior, two faithful soldiers, and a widow of inspiring faith. Having just lost a loved one, I can’t tell you how much of a consolation this story was to me. Those who love Our Lady will find solace in hearing it, and unbelievers will have evidence of her intercession. I’ll tell it as it was set forth in Monsignor George Dillon’s book, “The Virgin Mother of Good Counsel.”
