It was on October 10, 1996, that the Blessed Virgin, sent by God, granted her sons and daughters new celestial graces in Itapiranga. Appearing to Maria do Carmo in the morning of this day, She told her to tell her husband to take her and her son Edson to a place indicated by Her, of which he knew and where a spring existed. When they arrived at the place indicated by the Virgin, they began praying the rosary at 3:00 pm, as She had requested. Edson describes how the event occurred:
"On October 10, 1996, the Virgin had asked my mother during an apparition to have my father take us to a place indicated by Her where there existed a spring of water and to pray the rosary at 3 o'clock, and then she would tell us what she wanted. At the end of the rosary, Our Lady appeared. She was very happy that day, dressed in a different way from the other times she appeared to me. She had on a white veil, with a white dress and a light lilac mantle embroidered with roses of a lighter color that adorned Her. She had Her hands resting on Her chest and She told us:
"I am the Immaculate Conception!"
What called my attention was that in this apparition, Our Lady was not with Her feet in a cloud as in other apparitions and I did not understand the reason. Shortly thereafter, She went on to say:
"I am the Virgin of Grace, the Mother of God and Mother of all humanity. My divine Son Jesus and Lord wish to grant all my children of the whole world new Heavenly graces and sent me here in this place to bless the water of this spring."
It was at this moment that Our Lady, slowly lowering Herself from the place where she was suspended in the air, placed Her feet in the water of the spring and wet them. Immediately afterwards she wet Her holy hands where the water poured out and traced three times the sign of the cross with her right hand blessing the water of the spring. Looking at us maternally, the Virgin said:
"Let all my children of the world know and have knowledge that I, the Virgin Mary and Mother of God, bathed my holy and virginal feet and wet my holy hands in the water of this spring. All those who drink this water with faith and without mortal sin, making a firm purpose of conversion and amendment, will receive the grace of healing for their bodily and spiritual illnesses. The water of the spring, for those who have faith, will serve to cure all kinds of diseases. This spring is for all my sick children all over the world. I want to comfort you in your pains and your sufferings. I have obtained from my Son Jesus this grace. In fact, His Sacred Heart is rich in mercy and grace, being a fountain of living water for all my children in the whole world, so this fountain should be known as the Fountain of Mercy and Grace, for it is a grace of the His Sacred Heart. This place should be arranged well. Some of the water should be reserved for drinking and another should be reserved for my sick children to bathe in. May everyone have knowledge of my visit here. I bless you all: in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!"
After transmitting this message, Our Lady disappeared."
Lately, there are many who go to the spring, in search of a grace or cure for their illnesses. Graces of healings have been achieved by this water blessed by the Virgin. Our Lady wishes that every November 9 of each year, be fulfilled in Itapiranga as the prayer day of healing for the sick, and that in these days all will go to the spring in procession, to pray for them and to receive the graces of Her Son Jesus and of Her Immaculate Heart. It is good to remember that all must have a purpose of amendment and sincere repentance of their sins. Our Lady said to Maria do Carmo in an apparition that for those who are in mortal sin, the water of the spring would serve no purpose.

Before using the water:
When receiving all grace that God gives humanity for bodily or spiritual good, one should use or drink this water with a spirit of prayer and thanksgiving.
Blessed Mother asked at least to pray a decade. There should be repentance first and then followed by praying an Act of Contrition, 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, and 1 Glory Be. We must give thanks to God for the grace of the water blessed by Her and ask for the healing of the soul and the body.
