"A replica of the statue of Mary of the Rosary of San Nicolas holding her Son was blessed by Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in the year 2000, but it was Pope Benedict XVI who blessed the crosses that adorn the crowns worn by the Mother and the Child Jesus." From the book 'See How She Loves Us' by Joan Carroll Cruz.

Extract from the 2016 article linked above: "There have been several documented healings related to the apparitions, including the healing of a boy with a brain tumor. Gladys has shared about 1,800 messages from the Virgin Mary, O’Neil said. Many focus on topics like peace, repentance, returning to the sacraments, and drawing people closer to Christ. But there are also messages in an apocalyptic theme, predicting great turmoil for humanity ahead. “So that’s the tricky part with all of this,” O’Neil said. “It’s not as simple as some of the other apparitions that just draw people closer to Christ… there are some dire warnings as well.” Father René Laurentin, an expert on Marian apparitions, recounted the apparitions’ messages in his book, “An Appeal from Mary in Argentina.” At one point, Mary said, “Many hearts do not accept my invitation to prayer and to conversion. That is why the work of the devil is growing and expanding.” The warnings said that mankind is “in the process of falling in to a progressive self-destruction” and the Virgin Mary represents hope. “It is up to you to set your eyes and your heart on God,” she said. “I want to cure my children from this illness which is materialism; an illness which makes many suffer. I want to help them discover Christ, and I want to make it known to them that Christ prevails over everything,” Mary said in the apparition. She stressed the importance of prayer, especially the Rosary."
The apparition of Our Lord told Gladys, “If this generation will not listen to my mother, it will perish. I ask everyone to listen to her. Man’s conversion is necessary.” “Today I warn the world, for the world is not aware: souls are in danger. Many are lost,” Jesus said in a 1987 apparition. “Few will find salvation unless they accept me as their Savior. My mother must be accepted. My mother must be heard in the totality of her messages. The world must discover the richness she brings to Christians.” “The children of sin will grow up in sin if their unbelief increases. I want a renewal of the spirit, a detachment from death, and an attachment to life. I have chosen the heart of my mother, so that what I ask will be achieved. Souls will come to me through the means of her Immaculate Heart.”

Then Jesus told Gladys that Mary is the New Ark where we are to find refuge from the flood of evil that is swamping the world today. Jesus said to Gladys, “Formerly, the world was saved by the ark of Noah. Today the Ark is My Mother. Through Her, souls will be saved, because She will lead them to Me. He who rejects My Mother rejects Me! Many are letting the grace of God pass by in these days.” Then Our Lady reminded us of the Power of the Rosary. “The weapon that has the greatest influence on evil is to say the Rosary. “You see this crown because this is what I want you to do, create a real crown of rosaries. Pray my daughter pray. How many mouths remain silent, still without even knowing a single prayer which may bring them close to the Lord! The Holy Rosary is the weapon which the enemy fears. It is also the refuge of those who look for relief for their sufferings, and it is the door to enter into my heart.” https://schooloffaith.com/rosary-archive/apparition-of-san-nicolas
https://cruxnow.com/global-church/2017/03/bishop-stops-publication-revelations-argentine-medjugorje Bishop Stops Publication of Revelations at Argentine Medjugorje Extract from 2017 Article: "However, the private revelations made to Motta since then have also been published. Yet that’s coming to an end: The local bishop confirmed the decision to keep them private, which was made by one of his predecessors in 1990. “I made a consultation in Rome regarding the possibility of putting an end to the diffusion of the messages of Gladys de Motta regarding the Virgin Mary, and the Vatican answered affirmatively, that this was the most convenient thing for the Marian faith in our Lady of the Rosary of San Nicolás,” said Bishop Hugo Santiago, of San Nicolás, in a video he shared on YouTube. This decision does not mean the apparitions have suddenly been deemed untrue. As a matter of fact, Santiago’s predecessor confirmed their veracity in May of last year. What began with glowing rosaries and the rediscovery of a statue of the Virgin Mary in Argentina, was confirmed to be “of supernatural origin” and worthy of belief by Bishop Hector Cardelli, who retired after turning 75 in August. “I recognize the supernatural nature of the happy events with which God through his beloved daughter, Jesus through his Most Holy Mother, the Holy Spirit through his beloved spouse, has desired to lovingly manifest himself in our diocese,” he said at the time. In the video published on March 13, Santiago gives a short history of the phenomenon, including the fact that the messages continue to arrive. He also says that his predecessor, Bishop Domingo Castaña, made the corresponding discernment, studied the events and found them to be believable. For this reason, the authorization to build a shrine capable of welcoming close to 10,000 people, and in a place signaled by the Virgin to Motta, was granted. “However, after consulting theologians and psychologists, in 1990 [Castaña] decided to end the disclosure of the messages of Gladys de Motta referring to the Virgin, considering them [already] sufficient, and to avoid that these messages are misrepresented, that is to say that Gladys presents as sayings of the Virgin what, in reality, were her own reflections, ” Santiago said. Further explaining his decision, made in agreement with the Vatican, the bishop said that already back in 1990, theologians had suggested putting the focus not on the messages but on the shrine as the “House of God,” where the Virgin is venerated, and in the conversion of the pilgrims who, arriving to it, “feel the need to confess, [and to] celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation as a grace from the Virgin.” Santiago, like his predecessors, will continue to receive the messages from Motta and keep them in the diocesan archives, so that in the future, “when neither us nor the woman are on this earth,” they will be analyzed by the Church, “because the Church doesn’t canonize anyone in life.”
