Virgin of Solitude
Our Lady of Solitude, as already mentioned at the beginning of the post, is one of the many invocations of the Virgin Mary, respectively, among many more that may exist, such as the Virgin of Fatima, the Mystic Rose.
They are all named virgins including the virgin of solitude from the moment they appear in a specific city or place they play a very important role, since they change the lives of the people who are in charge of filling their message and were chosen to observe their apparitions and in this way manage to create a community of faithful believers that persist to the present day.
The Virgin of Solitude is closely related to all the suffering that she came to suffer, Mary mother of Jesus when he is imprisoned and crucified and through this event Mary is left totally alone and full of sadness for how she had to see her son die crucified loved.
The virgin of solitude does not make her first appearance as in the case of other virgins, who appear before someone with a great bright light, and this is by the work and grace of God. It can be rescued that at the moment they make her appearance they transmit a great message of love and salvation for all humanity and those who receive it have the task of communicating and preaching the received message.
The first appearance, so to speak, of the Virgen de la Soledad is very characteristic since her image arrives surprisingly in a box that was transported by a mule, which then dies respectively.
The Virgen de la Soledad is usually venerated and worshiped in many countries, some of which we can name are; Venezuela and Mexico, it should be noted that there are many more, but those named are the most prominent.

As indicated in the previous paragraph, one of the countries where the Virgen de la Soledad is highly venerated is precisely Venezuela, in this way it can be mentioned that the image found in the church of San Francisco located specifically in Caracas, was donated a few years ago. already many years by; Dr. Don Juan de Corro and his wife, Mrs. Felipa de Ponte.
They took the task of sending the image from Spain, which is an exact replica of the image of our lady of solitude which is venerated, in the convent of Victoria of the court of Madrid, in this way to them commissioning the image they proceed to assemble it respectively and bring it from Spain to Venezuela respectively.
However, during the trip, those in charge of bringing the image are surprised by a great storm on the high seas, which forces them to have to throw the cargo that contained the image into the sea so that the trip could continue in another way, since it had to arrive on time.
However, it is achieved since on the exact day and time it arrives at the shores of Naiguatá where the order was awaited by some of Don Juan’s servants to take it to their hacienda respectively.
On March 17, 1654, a deed is signed where the image is delivered to the convent, under the conditions that were written on the calf of this Caracas convent on page 67. This image is currently venerated in the church of San Francisco in Caracas- Venezuela and is greatly adored by all his faithful believers who come to pray and glorify him.

The muleteer is surprised to see that one of his mules is carrying a very large box that was not his, a situation that he does not miss much, however, he continues on his way with all of his mules.
Once the muleteer reaches his destination, which was the town of the Hermitage of San Sebastián, the mule, already tired of the great weight it carries, collapses and falls down, the muleteer tries to lift his mule, but has no success. that, the mule was exhausted by the weight of the big box.
The muleteer was very afraid of being accused of theft by the authorities since the box that the mule was carrying did not belong to him and he knew it, and before being accused of having stolen its contents he proceeded to call the authorities himself so that They proceeded to open the box and discover its contents. Once the police arrive where the muleteer was and proceed to mysteriously lift the box at that precise moment the mule falls dead.
The officers, very surprised by everything that happened and with great curiosity, decide to open the box to verify its contents, when they open it and see that it was inside, they realize that it contained an image of the beautiful virgin of solitude and was accompanied by a crucifix with a sign. what did he say; “The Virgin of the Cross”.
With the fact that the bishop of the time in the town called Bartolomé Bojórqueza, orders the prompt construction of a great sanctuary that will be in honor of the Virgen de la Soledad where all his faithful believers and devotees can attend to venerate her always.

In it, you can not only appreciate the image of the virgin, but also the immense rock where the mule dies, as well as also the box where the virgin was transported and found along with the crucifix.

Mary, mother of Jesus: we have just accompanied you at the funeral of your son; we have contemplated your pain before the passion and the cross; we have imagined the tearing of the separation from the son; We see your way to solitude.
We already know that that ended in overflowing joy, virgin of solitude and that you now participate in the resurrected life. But we remain in the dark: our faith is poor; our pains are still stubborn; our burials, our loneliness… they hurt us deep down.
Will you, our Lady of Solitude, accompany us?
We need, Mother, your strength:
to care for our sick; to love and accompany the elderly; to give encouragement to those who fight for a better world. We have many solitudes, many silences:
Much unrequited love; virgin of solitude, many efforts in the void, unaccompanied boys and girls, parents who believe it is useless to have had children and educators who suspect they are wasting their time.
young people who cannot respond to the impulse of life, without work, without cultural horizon, addicted with no way out. active priests accompanied by misunderstanding; without a living community that shares his missionary task.
Married priests hoping to revive the ministry; received from the Spirit, but buried and impeded by ecclesiastical law, the sick without hope, only accompanied by the silence of nonsense, the elderly stored in asylums without a soul, Christian communities without a pastor, without a Eucharist, without life and who cannot decide anything, or organize their charisms, in clerical silence
Give us, Lady full of loneliness tonight, your presence, your consolation, your comforting love. virgin of solitude that, at least, we never lack your hope:
the secret hope that that Good Friday afternoon burned in your pierced heart: “my son’s life is in the hands of God, of the Father whom he loved so much”; hope in the Spirit who has the ability to resurrect the dead: to lift the heart numb from routine and fatigue; of raising prophets in the midst of the legal and oppressive desert; to open paths closed by tyranny and submission.
May this hope, Lady of Solitude, always be with us, until the end of our lives, when you, our Lady, close our eyes for this life and open them for the risen life. Amen.
