VISIT
BLESSED ALEXANDRINA’S TOMB
Alexandrina’s tomb can now be found at the left of the main altar in
the Parish Church of Balasar. To
appreciate
its importance, it is necessary to know this prodigal promise that
Jesus made to her in June 1946:
I
promise you – trust me — that after your death all the souls that
visit your tomb will be saved, so long as they do not continue in
sin and thus abuse the great favour I give them because of you.
In order that those who visit your tomb be saved, other graces
needed, but those graces will be given to them by you.
The tomb
In
2006 an image of Alexandrina was placed next to her tomb. The
blessing had taken place on 13th October.
Taking advantage of the circumstance, the tomb was considerably
remodelled, with an overall positive effect. The image of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary is very beautiful: it is original the
stylised cross used to good effect, and a crown of thorns at the
height of the horizontal crosspiece.
This was done with a recommendation of Alexandrina’s in mind.
The back of the “book” that covers the sepulchre was raised so as to
be easier to read; the letters be of the book and those of the
message that hung on the back wall have been gilded to provide a
more artistic effect.
At the right side was placed a rich reliquary, which contains a
small bone of Alexandrina.
