Our Lady of Schiedam is a statue of Our Lady in Holland, the Netherlands. A merchant stole this image with the intention of selling it at a fair at Antwerp, but no matter what he attempted, he could never leave port. Frightened by this miracle, he restored the image, and it was solemnly transported to the Church of St. John the Baptist.
It was at the shrine of Our Lady of Schiedam that the mystic, St. Lidwina spent whole nights in prayer. Early in her life, Lidwina was drawn toward the Mother of God and prayed a great deal before this miraculous image. The Mother of God revealed to her the extent of suffering Christ would ask her to endure, but likewise assured her that she, Mary, would sustain her through her grace and intercessory power. The Blessed Virgin was true to her word, as was St. Lidwina in accepting the will of God in imitation to Our Lady’s Fiat.
