In 1944, a young prisoner named Claude Newman — with no Christian upbringing and no understanding of the Catholic faith — encounters a mysterious lady glowing with peace. She speaks one invitation that opens the door to his salvation:

"If you would like me to be your mother, and you would like to be my child, send for a Catholic priest."

What follows amazed every witness:
• Instant understanding of the Eucharist, Confession, and mortal sin
• A priest shaken by secrets only Heaven could know
• A dramatic transformation marked by forgiveness, joy, and supernatural peace
• A second prisoner converted through Claude’s final act of love
• A powerful manifestation of the Miraculous Medal promise given to St. Catherine Laboure

This story remains one of the most documented Marian miracles in the United States.
