Messenger: I was told to go to Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center to pray the rosary with my children. There were people in the front of the church, so we decided to pray the rosary in the back before the Sorrowful Mother statue. I had the following vision at the end of the rosary.
The statue of the Sorrowful Mother was lit up as if she had fire around her. The light was very bright. Her whole gown was all-white, but the statue's gown is blue and pink. She was all aglow. It looked like the glow that comes off of a fire. Her face kept changing but remained totally sorrowful-the sorrow of an older woman. She was in such pain and sorrow! (It was hard to explain how she looked-extremely pained!) Her face looked as though she was in such pain that she could hardly bear it.
The vision remained like this for about ten minutes, having begun during the last Hail Mary of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary. She was holding something-it was all bright white-the brightest light ever!

Ah sweet mystery of life at last I've
found Thee.
The sun shown as it always did — so
bright and blinding and peeking through an old
beautiful tree. I could feel its warmth
and I knew the gift God gives to me in
its light and magnificence.
The trees we can take for granted like
the smile of a little baby almost 3 months
old — so secure in this big world, but the
love he has received has already given him
that great security and love.
Where he once entered — a hard birth —
a swoosh and there you are thrown on the
surface of the earth, but the delivery is
so sweet, cuddled, fed at the mother's breast.
Do not fear little baby — God created you
with beautiful eyes to see and a heart
to love and oh yes little baby he gave
you baptism and elevated your human
nature — your wounded human nature to
great heights — your knowing and loving
capacity is elevated to know more deeply
the mystery of God and love more deeply
likened to God.
Oh little baby, so sweet and so beautiful —
smile and let me enjoy your precious gift
you are — for God loves you so much that
He has brought you into this life in Him
and you aren't even 3 months old yet —
little tender baby.
The baby has the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
dwelling in him at 3 months almost —
dwelling in his graced soul —
he doesn't even know about baptism
yet, but he was baptized —
What a gift —
As I bask by the suns rays —
I think of God and how He knows
all things.
He has a plan.
God loved man so very much Jesus
died for us, Jesus took flesh,
Jesus remains with us in
the Eucharist — truly present.
God did not drop the baby here and leave
him — He gave him, his mom
and dad and baptism and someday he will
go to the Holy Eucharist and
Confession.
Little baby, wonder of my eyes, God
created you and you resemble
people in your family — you came
from a family of love and all I can
say is
Oh baby — to look at you, I love you
so very much —
Oh baby — you are so beautiful —
Oh God thank you for the gift
of the baby and for baptism that made
him a Catholic —
Oh God you gave him a little
white gown and a candle and all the
gifts of baptism —
Now the sun is blocked by a big
green branch, but if I move around
I see its penetrating splendor shining
so very bright —
God gives us baptism and we have
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our
soul in a special way if we remain
in the state of grace, even when we
are not mindful of it — God is there —
Now a little old lady led a holy life,
but she struggled as we all do to
do God's will, but her greatest love
was for the love of God.
She was widowed and when her
husband died she really relied on
Jesus as her Spouse, she went to
daily Mass, she prayed before the
tabernacle and prayed most of the
day. Her quest for happiness was
found in God.
There are lots of wondering souls
in the world that do not even know
there is a God. Why were we so chosen
to be given our Catholic Faith — to
get baptism as a baby — to receive
the Eucharist and Confession in the
second grade.
God called us to Himself, but
we are commissioned in baptism
to spread the Good News — we are
called to be Apostles in the world —
being a light and loving more like
Jesus because the gifts of baptism —
The Holy Spirit lives in the graced
soul — God is alive in us as we
act and operate in the world —
We are chosen to spread the Good News —
to be branches stretching out
in the world and the Power of
God is shown in how we are
lights in the world.
The devil, too, like a cancer
is spreading its error — like
poison oak — growing and ready
to hurt those who touch it.
The baby.
The baptized baby.
Help Me — We are commissioned
in Baptism —
Look at the baby —
A wondering man of 70 is
still searching for truth — his
heart is torn, he doesn't want
to let go of untruths he was
taught.
An elderly lady is bitter not
wanting to go beyond her selfish
self — She was once a Catholic —
A priest she thinks was so unholy —
she left the Catholic faith so
now she stalks a barren desert
searching and is bitter and full
of anguish —
God is light
In Him there is no darkness
We were chosen
If we are baptized we are
commissioned like
branches of the vine —
We must answer our call —
help me spread the prayer chapters,
praying for the priests, the
Church and the world.
Pray the prayer yourself.
Say the morning offering and lay
down your whole day as
a most pure offering
united to all the Masses with
Hearts dwelling in the pure
hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Spread the Newsletter and Prayer
Chapters to 80,000 Cardinals,
Archbishops, Priests —
do what Mary asked for at
Fatima spreading the devotion
to the 2 Hearts —
We didn't listen at Fatima to
Mary's call and there was
World War II, lots of people
died, now secularism.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
July 13, 1917
"During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
"The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
"But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
October 13, 1917
On October 13, 1917, there were more than 70,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come to observe a miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three young visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. (1) Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three visionaries:
As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet—the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.
After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time—three times in all—within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.
When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions. (2)
