In August 1999, the Lord continued
leading the members of the prayer group, to honor Blessed Mother in a
special way. The Holy Spirit began leading the prayer group to honor
Blessed Mother as Our Lady of Sorrows, after finding the novena
published in an old book.
Soon, prayers in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows
began showing up. One member found a prayer that had somehow been placed
next to her in a church pew while she was praying. Another had found a
beautiful image of our Lady.
The prayers to Our Lady of Sorrows were gathered, compiled and
reprinted. Beads were strung with the medal of Our Lady of Sorrows on
one side and the Ecce Homo of Jesus on the other (Jesus with crown of
thorns) and were freely distributed to all our prayer group members and
their friends who would join in the beautiful novena to Our Lady of
Sorrows beginning on September 7th.
A Mass was scheduled at a members
home on September 15th, Our Lady of Sorrows feast day. Everyone gathered
and recited the Novena for that final day while Confessions were being
heard by the Catholic Priest. |
When instantly, Blessed Mother
appeared escorted by St. Michael, the Archangel, and the children
announced her coming. At the moment of her arrival, everyone present
fell to their knees and all Rosaries, Marian medals all turned gold.
Anna Marie was present and witnessed Mother Mary's arrival as well, then
she looked towards an image of Blessed Mother holding the Holy Spirit in
her hands and out from the image came Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit began
pouring graces down upon those in attendance, they appeared like large
tears of grace, falling upon the heads of the attendees. Then the Holy
Spirit departed from Anna Marie's view.
Then the Jesus spoke to Anna Marie and asked her,
"My daughter, how can
I thank you for honoring my Mother today?"
Anna Marie responded, "My
Lord, you know I cannot receive anything because I have taken the Heroic
Act (consecration prayer giving all indulgences, blessings and graces
to the holy Souls in Purgatory for their release), but my Lord, please
release the Holy Souls in Purgatory, please." Then Jesus departed and
all those present were amazed at the Lord's mercy and grace. |
