1521年在義大利福薩諾(Fossano)鄉間，聖母瑪利亞向又聾又啞的Bartolomeo顯現。他總穿著粗袍，以牧牛為生，是一個毫不起眼的小人物。5月8日他看到一位穿白衣的偉大女士懷著無比的母愛接近、祝福了他，這位女士即刻治癒他的殘疾並給了他一個使命：向福薩諾的居民勸誡悔罪補贖，並宣告上主的正義，警示他們，如果不悔改將會遇到致命的災難。說完她就隱沒了。

Bartolomeo便開始在村莊裡四處呼籲基督徒遠離罪惡的道路，並預示上主懲罰的來臨。三天來都沒有人理他，又累又餓的他沮喪地回到那女士向他顯奇蹟的地方，並在地上睡著了，此時聖母瑪利亞再次向他顯現。當他醒來時，聖母給了飢餓的他三塊新鮮麵包，並再次要求他向當地人宣講悔改後，便又消失。

Bartolomeo重新向村民預告上主的懲罰即將來臨，卻又再次被嘲笑，沒有人相信他。10月，福薩諾及其周圍村莊爆發了一場可怕的瘟疫，有成千的人喪命，到處充滿淒涼悲傷。他們想起Bartolomeo的警示預言，便決定聽從他的勸告做懺悔補贖，並求助於聖母。瘟疫消退後，村民便在聖母瑪利亞（後被稱為主顧聖母）顯身的地方建蓋了一座小聖堂。多年來，這小聖堂喚醒了許多信徒對天主之母的熱愛，並開始到此朝聖。

自教會早期開始，聖母顯現已時有所聞，顯現的目的是勸人悔改、為罪人祈禱、祈求世界和平，引人與天主進入更深的相遇。

In Fossano, Italy, in the year 1521, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a deaf mute, Bartolomeo, a shepherd who guided cattles to pasture, and was always dressed in his coarse robe. No cared about Bartolomeo at all until May 8, 1521, when he saw Our Lady dressed in white and approached him with maternal affection. Blessing him, the lady instantly cured Bartolomeo of his disability and gave him a mission to preach penance to the inhabitants of Fossano, and to proclaim the righteousness of God, warning them of a deadly scourge if they did not do penance. The lady then simply vanished.

Bartolomeo went through the streets of the city as a preacher of repentance, calling Christians to leave the path of sin, warning the people of the chastisement of God. For three days, he preached but unheeded until tired and hungry. Sad and depressed, he dejectedly returned to the spot where the miracle happened and fell asleep on the open ground. Our Lady appeared to Bartolomeo again for the second time in the same place and knowing Bartolomeo's hunger, gave him bread and asked him to preach penance to the people of Fossano before vanishing again.

Bartolomeo, renewed in spirit, returned to Fossano and reminded them of the Lord's warning, but then again he was only ridiculed and mocked by the people. In October of that year, a hideous plague broke out in and around Fossano. In the face of deaths, sadness and desolation, they remembered the words of poor Bartolomeo, who had foretold their punishment. They then decided to follow his warning, though late, and had recourse to Our Lady and did penance. The plague subsided, and a small chapel was erected at the scene of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, now known as Our Lady of Divine Providence. Over the years, this chapel started the awakening of the devotion to the Mother of God followed by pilgrimages to the chapel.

Since the early days of the Catholic Church, it has been heard from time to time, the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with the purpose of persuading people to repent, to pray for sinners and world peace, and to lead people into a deeper encounter with God.
