The cast of ‘Grace,’ a play revolving around the apparitions of the Virgin Mary seen in a convent in Lipa, Batangas“By order of the Most Holy Father’s will: The apostolic delegate is to authorize the apostolic administrator to issue a document from the Curia in which it is declared that the events of Lipa, after serious examination, turns out not to have a supernatural origin and character.”
Sister Teresing, as she was called, returned the following day, and saw the Virgin Mary, dressed in a simple white robe and carrying a golden rosary hanging from her right hand. While the devotion to Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Grace grew, controversies hounded the so-called apparitions. Local bishop Alfredo Verzosa y Florentin had approved the veneration, but the committee of Church hierarchy in the Philippines declared that there was no supernatural intervention.
During the 61st anniversary of Sister Teresing’s final apparition, Archbishop Arguelles officially lifted the 1951 ban and established a new commission to reassess the apparition and its phenomena. However, the Vatican intervened, maintaining its position. Nevertheless, devotion to Our Lady Mediatrix of All Grace has persisted and grown over the years.
Marasigan, who met Sister Teresing in the 1970s, portrays Bishop Santos in the play, approaching the role with historical accuracy.
