As God dey provide and care for us, she still dey carry out her special role to visit people wey need help every day.

Di part wey hard for relationship with our Blessed Mama be say e must happen for spirit and inside us, no be for body and outside us. But even as e be so, make we no think say this one mean say we no fit know her and love her reach before. Di truth be say, di relationship wey we fit get now with our Blessed Mama through grace deep well-well pass di relationship wey Elizabeth fit get with her because of di Visitation.
