Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on two main issues. In the first part, the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at La Salette is briefly recounted. This is a necessary ground to foster in the second part of the article the main investigation on the relevance of the La Salette apparition for the contemporary world. The methodological procedure applied in the paper aims to demonstrate how the vital theological motives in the narrative circumstances of the La Salette event and in the content of Our Lady’s message are rooted in God’s revelation bequeathed in the Old and New Testaments.
