During a vision in the 1950's, Our Lady asked Guza Mifsud to make a picture
of her as she was seeing her at that moment and to give it the title "Our Lady of Consecration".
On Our Lady's instructions, Guza modified a holy picture
she had in her book of prayers and took it to a photographer for enlargement.
In August 1986, Guza said that Our Lady had told her, "I was consecrated to
God since I was very young but no one in the world has given Me this title. It
has pleased Me to bring it down to you Myself so that you tell them about it...".
Guza Mifsud also declared to have seen the Blessed Virgin at Girgenti, a very fertile
and beautiful district on the outskirts of Siggiewi where she helped her family on their farmland.
Guza claimed that when during her break she went to the valley to pray, she saw a great light on a
loquat tree. During that vision Our Lady was wearing a white dress and blue mantle and asked Guza to
pray for the conversion of sinners.
Guza drew an image of this vision and entitled it Our Lady of Girgenti.
Guza Mifsud, the visionary, was born in Siggiewi, Malta, on January 27, 1923. She was the youngest of
seven children and led a very holy and humble life. When she was about twenty eight old, the Blessed
Mother told her in a vision to spread devotion towards the new title "Our Lady of Consecration."
Guza also claimed to have received messages from Jesus in the Eucharist and various saints and blessed souls.
She delivered these messages during the prayer meetings organised at Girgenti.
She died at her home on October 28, 1996 and is buried at the cemetery dedicated to Our Lady of Mount
Carmel in Siggiewi.
The shrine at Girgenti is open at all times and pilgrims from Malta and abroad come daily to pray in front
of the statue of Our Lady of Girgenti erected by Guza Mifsud on May 5, 1586.
Organised meetings are held on every first and third Sunday of each month and normally last about 75 minutes.
The shrine also hosts the statues of Christ Suffering, St. Joseph and St. Michael and a large cross.
Guza's house is found at 16, St. James Street, Siggiewi and can be viewed by appointment. Guided tours,
consisting of a maximum of twenty persons last about 45 minutes.
This house mainly includes the entrance hall wherein is situated the
original image of Our Lady of Consecration, the chapel, the side room where
Guza died and the bedroom where she had the vision of Our Lady of Consecration.
