” I desire that this new devotion may reach the hearts of many throughout the world that need grace and love and help in their search for God. This devotion will be like an exorcism carried out by all souls of goodwill.”
The 12 Steps Devotion
On 10 September 1996, the Virgin of Revelation appeared once again to Bruno Cornacchiola to announce a new devotion. The Virgin began to speak:
“I have come to bring good news, so that the will of the Holy Trinity may be made known. This is to be used as an aid to salvation, for everyone near and far, in this world that is so devastated by unbelief.”
Praying The 12 Steps Devotion
