Spreading Joy

Posted on by

Many times I have spoken with families regarding the loss of a loved one.  I guess this is the way my gift is also to be shared.  I always encourage them to know that they are around them.  I see them- and with all the love of God around them.  I hope and pray that they will find comfort in what the person has passed is trying to tell them.  Many times people don’t take that moment or calm themselves enough to hear what messages in every day life they are trying to share with all of us on Earth.  The bottom line is that they are in peace and want to share that peace and love with us.  The rosary is a great tool that Mary gave to us to use to meditate and take that breath.  Mary knows all of our pains and anguish and she also knows our joy.  Tonight I want to share the Joy of Heaven.  It is a magnificent place, full of relatives,friends and yes even pets that have passed.  Heaven is not a place to rush to, in hopes to see your loved ones soon.  It is a place to go when it is your time.  Hear me when I say…your time, meaning in Gods time.  It is a joyous place where there isn’t pain or the worries of the day to day that we experience in our lives.  Yes- they see us and feel us and know our thoughts.  Even though in grief we may not feel them.  Talk with them and share your day to day.   That is one of the ways to communicate with our loved ones.  They hope for Joy in our hearts and an understanding that they are in Gods love which is a beautiful place to be.  

Spreading joy and peace is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other and in hard times there rarely is enough of those qualities.  So I guess my simple message today is to take time to give a piece of Joy to someone near you.  Do it in memory of your loved one and amazingly you will find how much of a reward you will receive from that simple act.

Labor of Love

On Dec 25th of 2011, I also experienced the birth of Jesus. If you could imagine seeing all the details of the birth of our Savior. In the barn with Joseph Laboring was Mary. She was in white muslin clothing and quietly labored for the birth of her son. She had 1 woman there to help her to ease her fears and pain. She was in an area where animals would be. It was night when he was born. We are all called to set out with Jesus in our Hearts towards salvation as difficult as it is- it will give us peace and happiness deeply in our hearts.

After trying to understand why I would see this the whole day.  I started my search for the meaning behind this.  I also realized that a  visionary from Medjugore also had a message about a new birth in his Dec 25,2011 vision.  Please check it out at Medjugore.org. for the apparition.

Message from Mary

Posted on by

On Saturday I went to my Grotto in southern Ohio.  While there I had an apparition of the Blessed Mother.  She appeared in a glorious state with a Blue Mantel and gray garment.  She spoke of the loss in Japan and how she was with all of the Japanese and not to forget their grief.  She also spoke of all her children around the world and to pray for peace.  She is our advocate to her son.  She is with us all and to pray.  That the Earth is in a period of change and she will help us with this change.  Peace and to love one another.

While she spoke of the change in the world, she showed me Iceland and the changes they are experiencing.  Volcanoes are an indicator that the Earth is shifting at its plates.  We saw this with Japan and now we are seeing this in the Atlantic.  I ask if there is anything more we can do to protect our Earth and she said pray.  She is with us.

I was a guest speaker today on a radio show called Beyond Empowerment, we spoke of all the Loss occuring in the world today.  I spoke of the need for the Rosary.  When you are feeling loss or alone, the Rosary has the answers.   With the Rosary you can meditate on the life of Mary and Jesus.  They both have experienced the loss of family, money, and home.  Through their love of God they persevered.

Good Grief

Posted on by

It seems everywhere you turn there is a natural disaster happening.  The Japan earthquake crisis, the horrible floods of the Mississippi and Tennessee Valley area and the tornados in Alabama.  Now we are seeing a crisis due to crisis! What do we do? How do we handle all that is dealt to us. We see these horrible disasters for so many families with their homes, loved ones and all their belongings being taken or destroyed. The grief has not even begun for these people in these places.  As we see the disasters unfold, I do feel we will have a new awakening and understanding of the stages of grief.  Not everyone grieves the same way or has it in a perfect 12 step program, but no doubt these will be nations and towns hit hard with grief.  It isn’t a simple 5 day plan and its back to work and pretend nothing ever happend.  It’s going to take years for many to recover if they do at all.  Now I don’t mean to sound negative, but the purpose of this blog is to help and bring an awareness of what I see.  Grief itself has been ignored in this country and many others.  If you know someone who is grieving- the best way to help them is to actually HELP them. Don’t ask them how to help them- just do it.  For the person grieving is overwhelmed.  Grief doesn’t go away in 1 night or in 6 months.  It takes years to work through- not get over. When someone has been hit with grief- listen to them and really hear them.  Help them to get in a forward motion of life.  Console them – they need it.  Pray for them and with them- God listens and answers.  And most importantly- love them in good days and in bad.

Message from My Lord

Posted on by

On January 1st  of 2011, I received a message from my Lord.  He told me that the Islamic people have forgotten who he is even as a prophet.  That they will turn on each other and forget their religion and beliefs also.  To pray for them and warn them that is coming!  That is why I am posting this message.

I didn’t understand the message or why I received it at the time, but now I see that leaders in Arabian countries are not allowing their people to speak or demonstrate.  I also see that those who TOOK power years ago are now losing it. I hope this cycle of taking power and dictating to the youth will change and that each life is respected and valued.

Whether you believe in the Bible or Koran, the message is the same and a lesson we should listen to- PEACE!  Listen to the youth of today and be proud that they are willing to stand for their beliefs – right or wrong they should be heard and not shot in their sleep or in the streets.  After all, it is their parents that taught them to believe in themselves.  I hope and pray that their parents also taught them about God’s Love and Mercy.  And they take this opportunity to strengthen their faith and human rights.

I look at the numbers of todays date and I can’t help but think how many times I have seen those numbers in a row. I even checked into the biblical history of those numbers and found nothing. So I made my own analysis of what they mean to me.  Father, Son, Holy Ghost, yes thats only 3 but the Cross represents 4 so maybe it is reminder of what our Lord Jesus gave to us on the Cross. I get asked this question a lot as I meet with people from all over.  It may not be the best explanation but it is the one that makes the best sense to me.

I wish you a beautiful 2011 with peace and love!

My New Years resolution:  to post more and share the Grace I have received.

Miracles

Miracles have been on my mind lately.  I have been a witness to so many of them.  There is the miracle of my grace recieved in 1998.  There is the miracle of life, illness cured, babies being born and the general celebration of each day as our minds and bodies continue to operate. There are biblical miracles as the one at Cana, where Mary commanded Jesus to make more wine.

In my work, helping those that are grieving or sick, I am often asked if God would grant them a miracle and will God respond to their prayers?   The simple answer is yes.  He knows every hair on your head and loves each one of us. But what I am finding is there are certain things we can do to better ourselves in times of trial.

I am a firm believer in Holy Water, water blessed at a church by priests.  The water of Lourdes is known to have healing powers and people from all over the world flock to bottle it and take it home. Yes, I have seen holy water work.  It amazes me everytime that the simple gift of water, representing the baptism and cleansing of our spirit can heal our souls.

Lighting candles at the Church of Our Lady of Consolation I know works. I am a personal witness to this. This has occurred several times since 1998 and even today I have heard of a close friend receiving a miracle from devoting his life to Christ and lighting a candle to the Blessed Mother for help.

In Acts 4:30:  Many signs and wonders take place though the name of Jesus.  Also in Acts 14:3 The Lord confirmed by signs and wonders. The miracles I have witnessed along with the people receiving them are truly the Lords confirmation that he is listening and actively answering your prayers. Sometimes the answer is not what we want or expect, but the mere act of acknowledging that he is with us and answering our prayers is what I define as a miracle.

Pray, light candles, get holy water to bless yourself.  These simple gifts are always there when we need a little extra from God.  It can’t hurt- only help each one of us.

Merry Christmas

This is the time when we remind ourselves and others how much we care for them.  We exchange gifts with one another to show our appreciation for the other person.  God has shared a gift, it’s called a grace.  I didn’t ask for the gift, but in His love He shared it with me. I say thank you every night and every morning for this wonderful gift.  I have and hope to share it with as many people as I can.  My gift is to be shared and hopefully it will allow people to feel the sense of God, Christ and Mary.  For without them we would not have this Christmas season.

I have witnessed many tragedies and sadness with this gift.  I have been with many families who have been separated from a loved one in death.  I have compassion and feel for them all.  I only wish that I can explain the love that I feel of the person that has crossed over for their families. They are in Gods love which there is no greater love. So, during this Christmas season, remember God and his gift of love to Mary which had the grace to love us by giving us her Son, who in turn takes care of the world.

Merry Christmas!

Grace of Mary August 09

I always think of the month of August as Mary’s Month.  This is the month that I received my grace back in 1998. I think of the Feast of the Assumption, we remember the death of Mary and being assumed into heaven.  It has been a very busy month with the sharing of grace with strangers I now consider friends.  I have met such wonderful people. They were kind enough to allow me to share their lives with them and their loved ones that are deceased. I always learn and feel the love that is shared in each of their memories.  This is the Grace of Mary in return to me. I am looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible in September.

Thank you for coming to my site!

Mary the blessed Mother, is  very much involved in each and everyone’s life. I have met with many people over the 11 years of receiving her grace. It is common to have the question of is there life after death? And do my loved ones who have passed know about my life now? The answer is simply yes. God loves all His children and in doing so, allows souls to see each of us. Not to control or have intercession-that is up to God and Christ, but to comfort and love us.

Imagine looking at a globe, you may see different places at the same time. That is also how it looks to those in heaven. They can see you in a loving non interrupting way, but also others. It is really a gift from God.  Time in their world is not linear but is round and they stand in the middle of it. Seeing the past, present and future for families and loved ones. I hope that it will bring comfort to some of you and understanding.   Again, souls that have passed aren’t interested in controlling us, but purely loving us and accepting who we are for what we are.
