The Supermoon:
On November 14th 2016 the whole world celebrated a remarkable natural event, known as a supermoon. After the Supermoon event on 14th November, TtCrusader wrote:
“333 days until #Fatima100”
(He has a knack of connecting numbers and events)
“Signs in the sun, moon and stars”: 23 Sept.2017
The above tweet from our Crusader friend, reminded me of an article I read last year in the Remnant Newspaper. (Thursday, October 29, 2015: see link – below).
“ On September 23, 2017, we will see the constellation Virgo with the sun rise directly behind it (the woman clothed with the sun). These events transpire during the 100th anniversary of the apparitions of“the woman clothed in the sun,”Our Lady at Fatima in 1917.
The Star of Bethlehem
When it appeared 2000 years ago, most people didn’t notice it. God sometimes uses the heavens to communicate with us: (Psalm 19: 1-4) The Magi, however, recognized the signs. On this occasion, there was a rare triple conjunction between Jupiter (King planet) and Venus (the motherhood planet). The well-versed Magi must have recognized this triple conjunction as a ‘giant neon sign in the heavens blinking KING-KING-KING.’
“The woman clothed with the sun”
Patrick Archbold (of the Remnant Newspaper) tells us that on November 20th, 2016* (see connection below), Jupiter will begin another journey of 9 and half of “Virgo”
He continues – “Upon Jupiter’s exit (birth), on September 23, 2017, we see the constellation Virgo with the sun rise directly behind it (the woman clothed with the sun).At the feet of Virgo, we find the moon. And upon her head we find a crown of twelve stars, formed by the usual nine stars of the constellation Leo with the addition of the planets Mercury, Venus, and Mars.”
Revelation 12:1-5
“And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered.
And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his head seven diadems:
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne. “
Also it is pointed out in the article:
“…, in this era of false mercy,…November 20, 2016*, isthe very daythat Pope Francis’ declared“Year of Mercy” comes to an end. The very same day is the Feast of Christ the King.”(i.e.in the Ordinary Form of the Mass calendar.)
“On 13 October 1884, Pope Leo XIII has a vision regarding the 100 years reign of the devil – a reign designed to test/destroy the true church and humanity. Exactly 33 years later to the day, on 13 October 1917, the great miracle of the sun occurred at Fatima.
Could this 100 year period span from 13 October 1917 to 13 October 2017? Note that atheistic communism (the errors of Russia) was introduced into the world, via the Bolshevik revolution, just a couple of weeks after the great miracle, on 7 November 1917. (At Fatima, Our Lady warned about communism)
Mary, our Mother, stated at Fatima that her Immaculate Heart will triumph in the end.At the end of the 100 years maybe?
Let’s see how the book of Revelation, chapter 12, describes Mary: 12.1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 12.2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
Fast forward to 13 October 2017, the 100th year anniversary of the great miracle, and let’s have a look at the star patterns in the sky on 24 September 2017, just a couple of weeks before the 100 years are up. ( See Revelation 12:1-5)
What do we see? We see: – the sun is in Virgo, the virgin, (a woman clothed with the sun) – the moon is at the lower end of Virgo (the feet) – 3 planets, Mercury Venus and Mars, are at the upper end of Virgo (the head), forming the crown – we also see Jupiter in the middle of Virgo (near the belly)
Very interesting!
Also note that we will be able to see none of this from the surface of the Earth, inside the atmosphere, because when the sun is in Virgo, it will be day time, not night time, and therefore, the background stars and planets will be in complete occultation by the brightness of the sun!
The truth is, once again, hidden in plain sight! “
Just as a star alerted and guided the 3 wise men to the birth of Jesus Christ, the true Messiah and Saviour of mankind, two millenia ago, are the stars once again announcing His return, coinciding with the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our Mother and Co-Redemptrix, and the start of the era of peace in the New Paradise?
Tt Crusader could be wrong, but whatever it means, it will certainly be a sign to us.
When Our Lord was going through Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the multitude of disciples were praising God with a loud voice. (38) “Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high! “[39] And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples. [40] To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.” (Luke 19: 38-40)
Today, multitudes of Pharisees are trying to stop praise(or even any mention)of God. As a result, as stated in the Gospel – the stones have to cry out.
This is a church-approved Marian apparition. It involves a Syrian mystic named Myrna Nazzour. The video has an Imprimatur. The messages (1982-1987) have a Nihil Obstat.
Myrna experiences visions of both the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus. In many of her ecstasies she’s experienced the stigmata, caught on film. She has suffered Christ’s wounds in her hands, feet and side, and the crown of thorns. She’s felt the scourging of Our Lord. Her skin exudes 100% pure Olive Oil with healing properties. It has secreted from her face, hands, ears, feet, neck, stomach and eyes during her ecstasies. This phenomena is unexplainable to scientists and psychologists. The Icon of Soufanieh also exudes the same oil, which has healed and blessed a vast multitude.
The first event started on November 22nd, 1982. Myrna was praying with other members of her family while visiting her ailing sister-in-law, when suddenly, she felt a strange and indescribable phenomenon: all her body was shivering as if some force was coming out from inside her (to quote her expression) Oil had just started to exude from her hands for the first time.
The second event to take place, started on November 27th, 1982, coinciding with the anniversary date of the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830, at the rue du Bac in Paris, France. Oil started to exude from a small replica of the icon of the Virgin of Kazan(6 cm x 8 cm / 2.4 inches x 3.2 inches) http://www.soufanieh.com/menuenglish.htm– picture oozing oil
2. The pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima weeps.
International pilgrim statue of the virgin of Fatima (America Needs Fatima)photographed in New Orleans LA in 1972,miraculously weeping real human tears.
A fibreglass statue of Our Lady of Lourdes has been weeping oily tears since early 2002 in Perth. The position of the Catholic Church on the phenomenon is neutral, although Archbishop Barry Hickey has been to visit the statue in the lady’s home, and has called the event truly remarkable. He says, “The weeping seems to have had a profound effect on people who have witnessed it”.
A statue of Our Lady of Lourdes weeps tears of what appear to be an oil-like substance in the home of its owner Patty Powell in the southern Perth suburb of Rockingham, Western Australia earlier this year. SEE: WEEPING STATUE
On March 19, the feast of St Joseph, Patty noticed that a statue she had in her home, had some type of liquid substance coming out of the eyes, as though it was crying. It had stopped the next day, but they returned on Good Friday and wept over the Easter triduum.
It wept again on the feast of Corpus Christi. Then on August 14, Patty came home from work, and saw the statue not only weeping, but also her whole lounge room smelling of roses. She then realized this was no ordinary favour, and Fr Walsh (her parish priest) agreed.
The local current affairs show, Today Tonight, even took an interest, and arranged to have scientific testing of the statue to see if it was fake, with Patty’s permission. The tears were analyzed and found to be of olive oil, with a rose scent.The scientist revealed that when he placed the statue flat on its back … and cleared the tears away, some came out of the eyes under his very gaze, against all the forces of gravity.
Some people who have prayed in front of the statue and have applied the tears to cotton buds, claim miraculous cures, including one gentleman with terminal cancer. Other have returned to the practice of the Sacraments, and have broken down at the sight of the Virgin Mother of God weeping.
On September 10th 2002, the Channel 7 current affairs program “Today Tonight” had the oil and the statue examined at Murdoch and Curtin Universities in Perth. The findings were released on a program airing on 12th September, 2002. The scientists could not come up with any obvious reason or explanation for the phenomena.
On January 4, 1975, to the amazement of the religious community at Akita-Shi, Japan and Fr. Yasuda, the statue of the Virgin began to weep and did so three times that day. Also witnessing these tears, in addition to the sisters, were Bishop Ito and a number of people who had joined the nuns for a New Year’s retreat. In the 10 years following, scientific studies excluded any explanation other than the supernatural.
The tears collected on the inside edge of the eyes flowed down the cheeks, collected at the edge of the garment near the throat, rolled down the folds of the garment and fell upon the globe under Our Lady’s feet.
Fr. Yasuda recorded in his book, The Tears and Message of Mary, that the statue:
“. . . had completely dried out during the years since it was made and little cracks had begun to appear. It is already miraculous if water would flow from such material, but it is still more prodigious that a liquid sightly salty, of the nature of true human tears, should have flowed precisely from the eyes.”
The statue wept for the last time on 15th September, Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.
Sr. Agnes was totally and incurably deaf when she entered the community, having lost her hearing on March 16, 1973. Sister was able to speak, and understood spoken messages by lip reading. As predicted by her guardian Angel, she temporarily regained her hearing on October 13, 1974. Deafness returned on March 7, 1975. Her hearing was permanently restored on May 30, 1982, as predicted by Our Lady during the first message of July 6, 1973. Both healings occurred instantaneously during Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Sr. Agnes is today in sound health, except for the rheumatism that has affected her hands.
In his pastoral letter dated April 22, 1984, Bishop John Ito, the Ordinary of the Diocese of Niigata, wrote, “I authorize throughout the entire diocese of which I am charged, the veneration of the Holy Mother of Akita.”
In Syracuse, Italy in 1953, an Italian woman, Antonina Janusso, was cured from pains while witnessing a weeping plaque of the Madonna in the home of the parents of her husband, Angelo.
On the 29th, 30th, 31st August and 1st September 1953, a chalk picture, depicting the Immaculate Heart of Mary, placed at the bedside of a young married couple, shed human tears. The phenomenon occurred, for shorter or longer intervals, both inside and outside of the house. There were many people who saw with their own eyes, touched with his own hands, they gathered and tasted the salt of those tears. On September 1, a commission of doctors and analysts, on behalf of the the Archbishop of Syracuse, after removing the liquid that flowed from the eyes of the little picture, subjected it to microscopic analysis. The response of science was: “human tears.” After the scientific investigation, there were no more tears.
On October 17, 1954, a Radio Message of Ven. Pope Pius XII at the Marian Convention of Sicily, declared it believable.
“It is not without lively commotion that we are aware of the unanimous declaration of the Episcopate of Sicily upon the reality of this event. Without a doubt Mary is in heaven eternally happy and suffers neither pain or sorrow; but she cannot remain insensitive, rather she always nourishes love and pity for the poor human race, which was given to her as their Mother, when sorrowful and tearful she remained at the foot of the Cross, where her Son was affixed. Will humanity understand the mysterious language of those tears? Oh the tears of Mary! Upon Golgotha they were tears of compassion for her Jesus and of sadness for the sins of the world. Does she cry again for the renewed wounds produced in the Mystical Body of Jesus? Or does she cry for so many sons, in which error and sin have extinguished the life of grace, and who gravely offend the Divine Majesty? Or are they tears awaiting the belated return of her other sons, once faithful, and now dragged down by the false mirage of the legions of the enemies of God?” (A.A.S. 46 (1954) 658-6615.
In 1980, Julia Kim, who was suffering from terminal cancer, was miraculously healed. She was at that time a Protestant but eventually converted to Catholicism.In 1982, Julia saw a vision of Jesus with his Sacred Heart bleeding and asked for suffering for the conversion of sinners.
The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Saviour, began weeping through her statue owned by Julia Kim in Naju, Korea, on June 30, 1985
For a total of 700 days between June 30, 1985 and January 14, 1992. Samples of the bloody tears were tested in a medical laboratory and were found to be human blood.
There was Fragrant Oil from Our Lady’s Statue for 700 consecutive days from November 24, 1992, to October 23, 1994.
The External Appearance of Bread in the Holy Eucharist changed into Visible Flesh and Blood on Julia’s tongue12 times between May 1988 and October 1996. The miracle on October 31, 1995, was witnessed by Pope John Paul II during a Mass in the Pope’s private chapel in the Vatican.
Bishop Roman Danylak from Toronto, Canada, and Bishop Dominic Su of Sibu, Malaysia, also witnessed the miracles in Naju and Sibu, respectively, and wrote their testimonies expressing their belief in the authenticity of these miracles.
The Sacred Host descended from above to the Chapel in Naju 7times between November 24, 1994, and August 27, 1997. The first two miracles were witnessed by the Apostolic Pro-Nuncio in Korea during his visit to Naju.
On July 1, 1995, seven Sacred Hosts descended. They were consumed by two priests and five lay people including Julia according to the local Archbishop’s instructio The external appearance of the Sacred Host that Julia received changed into visible Flesh and Blood on her tongue. A sample of this Blood was tested in the medical laboratory at Seoul National University and was found to be human blood.The descent of the Eucharist on June 12, 1997, was witnessed by Bishop Paul Kim of the Cheju Diocese in Korea. The Eucharist again descended on August 27, 1997, during Fr. Raymond Spies’ visit to Naju. An intense fragrancecontinuied (May 1998) from the spot on the floor in the Chapel where the Eucharist landed.
Numerous people have regained love and peace in their families and returned to the Sacraments. Many were healed physically, especially while repenting their sinful livesafter experiencing Our Lady’s love.
Julia’s Stigmata:Bleeding occurred on Julia’s two hands and two feet during her sufferings. Doctors examined Julia and stated that her wounds and bleeding had no medical explanation.
7. Mike Willesee: Bolivia Statue of Christ weeps Blood
Mike Willesee is a renowned Ausralian journalist who made a documentary “And the Stones will Cry Out” of the happenings described below. He went with his friend Ron Tesoriero to Bolivia to document this phenomenon when he heard about it. He was converted back to his faith as a result. Some of the details are described below.
A statue of Christ bought by Ms. Silvia Arevalo, weeps and bleeds in Cochabamba, Bolivia. In the same city Katya (Catalina) Rivas experiences the wounds of the crucifixion of Christ, the stigmata. This Christ statue shed tears of human blood during Holy Week of 1995, the miraculous occurrence took place repeatedly during the recital of the Rosary. It was bought by Silvia Arevalo and started weeping in her home. First tears then sorrowful tears of blood.
FINDINGS:
It was foretold by Saint Don Bosco that Jesus would leave a sign that he had been in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
The statue has been thoroughly tested and found not to be fraudulent. The statue forms tears of human blood at the eyes that weep down the face, caught on camera .
The blood has been tested and found to be human.
The blood contained a piece of thorn, identified as a thorn from the Hawthorne bush, believed to have been the type of thorn used to make the crown of thorns for Jesus of Nazareth.
According to information in a book (see website listed above)- blood samples from the statue were sent to a Laboratory in the U.S. Dr Anne Montgomery concluded that:
It was definitely human blood
She could not get a genetic profile or DNA code
More samples of the blood were sent to a laboratory in Australia. The conclusion was:
It was definitely human blood
Strangely missing a genetic profile.
Finally, a sample was sent to a Hospital in Rome, where Dr Angelo Fiori – a highly respected professor of legal medicine concluded:
It is human blood
Could not get a genetic code.
He stated that he could not explain it.
“The genetic proof is in the DNA and handed down from generation to generation … to have no genetic profile means that there was nobody before you to give you any. You would have to be the …Creator.”
Scab of blood:
When a scab of blood was pulled from the plaster statue, Dr. Robert Lawrence a forensic pathologist from the US concluded:
Thisscab was pulled from the face of a person…
A process of healing was occurring.
When informed that the sample was obtained from a plaster statue, Dr Lawrence said: “No! It’s not from any statue”
8. Pope St John Paul II and the Civitavecchia “Weeping” Statue of Medjugorje
Monsignor (Bishop Emeritus) Girolamo Grillo has written a book entitled “La Madonnina de Civitavecchia. The true story of a painful drama of love.” It is the story of a plaster statue from Medjugorje that cried tears of blood 14 times. (as reported on 17 May, 2011 in Romereports.com). He said that the pope’s personal secretary, Stanislaw Dziwisz, asked him, in June 1995, to take the statue to the Vatican. This was 3 months after the Bishop himself, had seen the statue weep.
The Bishop explains:
“We were praying for a long time. During dinner, the pope asked me to tell him what happened. I started to explain but I stopped because I realized he knew more than me. I was impressed. Then he spoke about the meaning behind the tears. After dinner, he told me to keep quiet about this. But he also said, that one day, I should tell the world that John Paul II had revered the image of the Virgin of Civitavecchia. I asked when I should make this public. He told me, I would know when.”
As evidence of this meeting, the book shows a letter describing the visit between the two. It’s signed and dated by John Paul II himself.
“But Pope John Paul II also said, that one day, I should tell the world that John Paul II had revered the image of the Virgin of Civitavecchia, a statue from Medjugorje. I asked when I should make this public. He told me, I would know when.
The Vatican however, in particular the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has not made any official statement to validate these accounts.
(from the editors/managers of site) The last story was not news to us.
“When our prayer group went on a pilgrimage last year to Medjugorje, we had been told of this story. The house where this had occurred was pointed out to us. It was explained that one day, someone came and removed the statue, and no-one had heard anything since. (This was obviously when it was taken by the Vatican to Rome).”
While on holiday a few weeks ago , visiting fellow Crusaders in a neighboring country, I had been reading the story of Maria Simma – the Austrian woman who is visited by souls in Purgatory. I thought “Wow, what a strong revelation, and a strong witness about the serious offence of receiving Jesus in the hand at Holy Communion.
I told my fellow Crusaders, about my own personal spiritual experience.
It started back in the 1980’s, when I was asked to be a Eucharistic minister. I heard a very distinct voice in my head say, “That’s not for you!” so I immediately declined.
Then, about 3 years ago, I read in the MDM message 132 about receiving Jesus on the tongue.On that same day, I picked up the book I had been reading by Fr. Paul Kramer and read the same thing. As well as these 2 events, on that very same day, I received a letter in the mailbox with a third confirmation.!!!
This gave me a very STRONG urge of the Holy Spirit to receive Jesus on the tongue, and have been ever since.
Then, a couple of months ago,I was once again asked – almost bullied and badgered – to be a Eucharistic Minister. I told the very insistent woman, herself a Eucharistic Minister (and a Secular Franciscan, she informed me persuasively), that it was not my calling, however it didn’t stop there. When I mentioned my experience in the 1980s she said, “Well perhaps that was for THEN, the time may not have been right, but it is now!” She kept telling me there was a shortage of people to administer Holy Communion and I MUST talk to the priest. I did, and he agreed that if it were not my calling then that was fine. The woman concerned was most annoyed at this, so in the end I explained to her that I’d had a very strong direction from the Lord to NOT have Holy Communion in the hand, so how could I therefore in all conscience dispense the Blessed Sacrament myself..? Thankfully she finally relented and did respect this, agreeing that I must be obedient to this leading from God. Phew. End of the whole hassle.”
Postscript:I also just remembered something: when Fr Stefano Gobi (MMP – Marian Movement of Priests) visited our country in the mid 1980s, not long after my conversion, I attended Holy Mass where he was the celebrant. When I went up for Communion with hands made ready he ignored them and placed Jesus in my mouth. That memory just came back to me!

Message from the Book of Truth:
Importance of Sacraments – Marriage and First Holy Communion
6th July, 2011@ 15.30 hours
My dearly beloved daughter, watch now as the faith of my children begins to grow and blossom.While there is much darkness in the world the light of my followers becomes brighter by the day because of the flame of the Holy Spirit, which has descended over the whole world.
Today, my daughter, I wish to remind all of my followers of the importance of prayer to ease suffering in the world. Your prayers are now helping to avert many global disasters foretold.Prayer is the most powerful mitigation and when said on behalf of others, they will be answered.
While I am happy with those of strong faith; I am still fearful for those who are adverse to my divine light, the Truth. Many people now wander around the world as if in a stupor. Nothing brings them peace. Nothing brings them joy. No amount of material comfort eases their pain. Their empty souls are lost. Please pray for them.
My daughter, please pray for My Vicar, Pope Benedict, for he is surrounded by masonic forces who are now making every effort to dethrone him, These evil forces have been infiltrating my church since Vatican 2 and have diluted My Teachings. Many laws were passed which offend me, especially the presentation of my Holy Eucharist by lay people.The lack of respect shown to me and my Eternal Father, through new laws introduced to facilitate modern society has made me cry with sadness.
The Most Holy Eucharist must be received on the tongue and not soiled by human hands. Yet this is precisely what My sacred servants have done. These laws were not passed by me in spirit.My sacred servants have been led down a path not in line with the teachings of my apostles.Today My Sacraments are not taken very seriously, especially those who seek the Sacraments of Matrimony and the First Holy Communion.
The vow of Matrimony is very serious, for remember it is a Sacrament and is made in the presence of God the Father, yet for many it all about materialism and the exterior trappings. Many who receive the sacrament of Matrimony do not acknowledge its importance thereafter. Many break their vows so easily. Why do they do this? Why pay lip service to this most Holy Union only to part soon afterwards? This is a mockery of one of the most important unions Blessed by the Hand of My Eternal Father. Many people do not pay any heed of My Father’s Will that no man shall pull asunder such a union thereafter, yet many people divorce, which is a law not recognized by My Father. Divorce is an easy way to run from your responsibilities. All marriages are made in heaven. No man can destroy a marriage without offending My father.
First Holy Communion Receiving My Body in the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time is another example as to how I am mocked. So many parents pay no heed to the importance of their children receiving the Bread of Life. They are more concerned as to how well-dressed their children are, rather than the wonderful Gift they are receiving. This Gift will lead them to salvation. Yet the materialism, which surrounds the event, has nothing to do with their souls. For Me the saddest part is that these little children are not being told about Me. The love I have for little children is all-encompassing. When they receive the Holy Eucharist, in the full knowledge as to what they are receiving, then their souls become pure. The more they receive me in this way, the stronger will their faith be.
Remember, without the Sacraments, your faith becomes weak. After a time, if your soul is bereft of my special blessings, it becomes dormant. All faith in Me and My Eternal Father disappears in time with only a tiny flicker of recognition flaring up from time to time. Return to Me through the Sacraments. Show respect for the Sacraments in the way you are supposed to and you will truly feel My Presence again.
Remember, the Sacraments are there for a reason, for they are the nutrients you need for Eternal Life of the soul. Without them your soul will die.
I love you all. Please embrace me properly, by respecting the Sacraments given to you as a Gift from God the Almighty Father.
Your Loving Saviour King of mankind, Jesus Christ

On Sunday August 14th, I was at a Novus Ordo Mass at Our Lady of the Angels for the second time in a month. It’s not my home parish and the celebrating priest was different on each occasion. Something unusual, most likely miraculous occurred.
At the beginning of August, as the priest held up the large white Eucharistic Host for adoration at the Consecration, I noticed a soft but marked golden glow, emanating from the centre, diffused to the edges. I rationalized that there were many candles and lights shining upon the beautiful altar and that it must have been that the light from one of the many sources that lit up the Host from behind, although I did wonder if that was true…
A fortnight or so later, a different priest, unfamiliar to me celebrated the Mass. I had been to Confession about an hour before Mass and they had brought a beautiful statue of Our Lady out to the front of the Church to accompany a Eucharistic Procession planned for after Mass. Later, I realised that it was actually the annual Feast Day of Our Lady of the Angels, on which the church who bore the same namesake, was celebrating that very day.
It was at a later point in the Mass this time, when I noticed something breathtakingly remarkable; what I believe to be a Eucharistic Miracle. This time the priest held in his hands, a small white consecrated Host. This time there was, taking up almost the entire Host, a very bright, golden glow, leaving only a white rim for an edge. It was striking and beautiful; I felt amazed but I dared to rationalise again, “Look how the candles light up the Host and make it glow so beautifully. How amazing that the light hits it in that exact spot..must be a deliberate architectural intention…”, until the priest bent over a little and moved the Host down, still in his hands, to then receive The Blessed Sarament into his mouth and the bright golden glow remained intact, not even even flickering or wavering. This act took mere seconds but the significanceof what I had witnessed was profound. I went to Holy Communion and knelt to receive Our Lord on the tongue, feeling moved, but trying to hold it together. After thanksgiving prayers, I did not immediately tell my eldest daughter who returned to my side anything, but by the last hymn, Amazing Grace, we were both shedding tears, moved by inexplicable Grace. At first she thought it was just the hymn or the Mass as a whole overwhelming me; as she felt but I explained later.
If I compared what I saw in terms of ‘the emanating glow’ to anything remotely similar, I would refer to a photo/video I saw of the Eucharistic Miracle at Garabandal 1962, which is imprinted upon my memory. In the photos that I have seen the Communion Host that appears on Conchita’s tongue, seems to glow with a bright, white light. The difference here is that the Host shone with a bright, deeply golden light instead, from It’s centre. For those who believe, in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, no further explanation is necessary. For those who do not, this is certainly not the first or only Eucharistic Miracle, which you will find if you search the topic. It is a belief which is biblical and can be understood- with the eyes of the soul through the assistance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is Our Blessed Saviour and Mighty King Who humbles Himself to become Food for our Soul.
Testimony of DonnaLiane (Aug 2016)
(Photo retrieved from: http://olrboise.org/first-eucharist/ on 8.9.16)
This photo was taken on 6 June in Medjugorjeand was emailed to a Crusader.
At our meeting last week, this image was shared with the other prayer group members.
When the readings were opened (randomly), after a prayer to the Holy Spirit, the Bible Reading was as follows:
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, The Acts Of The Apostles Chapter 1: 9-11
“And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments. Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.”
Below is message from Carmen who is one of the organizers of our regional meetings here in Sydney. (see our previous post – found under “Prayer Group Sharing”)
“Hello Everyone,
Still on high from last Saturday? I am 🙂 Below is a cut and paste ‘transcript’ from facebook and I had the permission to share it to crusaders for the glory of God. Fiona has this experience on Saturday.
She is Irish by birth but lives in South Africa:
“Fiona : Just finished our Prayer meeting and saw something beautiful! As each Hail Mary was recited, a gold rose seemed to float out of each persons mouth and move slowly to a spot where it seemed an angel was standing. At the end of the Rosary, dedicated to our Mother of Salvation, the angel had a very large bouquet of golden roses in his arms and he seemed to disappear upwards with the bouquet! I told my fellow prayer warriors and the meeting used up a box of tissues, all of us, men and women, crying!
Larry : Fiona,… what a beautiful experience
Fiona : It was so, so beautiful and one of the women Elizabeth, at Mass tonight, said she was too shy to say it in front of everybody, but she saw golden arrows around me during the Rosary!”
Further thread of this conversation which I did not include (just too long) made me realise that how they prayed the Holy Rosary was done slowly and with much devotion, as encouraged by our Blessed Mother in one of the messages. “My Most Holy Rosary, when said slowly and from the heart, will open your hearts to the Truth of this Mission.”
The next story is about our own feastday celebration in Sydney Australia:
“Last Saturday was truly truly special (I do not need to mention here why) and we were so blessed to have been present at the prayer meeting. I know others would have loved to join that day but circumstances just did not allow it. Prayers are still heard anywhere and everywhere!
My account is not as dramatic as the above but nonetheless God was truly present with us and in us. We were saying our Rosary that morning and I was seated where the computer was – minding the transition of the powerpoint slides. I remember seeing the other exit door opened (the one near the kitchen), and the other exit door closest to Kay (who lead the prayers) and the Altar, closed. We finished the Joyful and Sorrowful mysteries and we were at this point into the Glorious mysteries. We were all focused in prayer, I remember, and as soon as Kay announced the third Glorious Mystery (the Descent of the Holy Spirit) the doors behind her swung open with a gust of wind! (no tongues of fire though) but we all felt His presence the entire day in different ways.
To close, we were reminded that day to focus only on Jesus, to stick to the Truth, spread the Book of Truth, the Crusade of Prayers, and remain loyal to Jesus’ final Mission on earth.
Last Thursday (26th May 2016), there were about 8 of our Crusade Prayer Group at Mass in the morning. After Mass and Adoration, we have our weekly Prayer meeting at a prayer group member’s home. It was the Feast of Corpus Christi (according to the Traditional Calendar). Two of the prayer group members (L. And E.) were kneeling next to each other with a space between them. Unknown to the rest of us, something happened during Mass. L told E. later, that she felt someone brush past her just at the Consecration. She felt it on her upper arm and a wisp of her hair also seemed to just fly up near her face.
Now these spiritual occurrences are not new to our prayer group. Over the last few years, we have had varied experiences (which you can read under ”Signs and Wonders”). About 2 hours later, the prayer group was assembled at my house for the meeting at my place. As it was Corpus Christi, we said the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. I was sitting behind, and to the side of my daughter. Her little boy would sometimes come in to whisper something in her ear, then walk back out to play. He can always be heard.
On this occasion, while praying the 5th Luminous Mystery – the institution of the Eucharist , I felt someone brush past me, against my left upper arm. I was kneeling, (L. was also kneeling that morning at Mass). I had my eyes closed, but I didn’t open them, as I did not want to be distracted from my prayer. I thought that maybe it was my little grandson, but I thought that he was very quiet – I realized I didn’t hear any footsteps.
I didn’t say anything. I thought that whenever something happens, someone else always notices something. We always stay and chat, but no-one mentioned anything.It was on my mind, however, and 2 days later, I decided to ask E. whether she had noticed anything unusual at the Prayer Meeting. She told me to be specific. I told her what happened. She was surprised. She told me what had happened to L. at Mass on the Thursday morning at Mass. It was the same experience!
We were both motivated to tell the same person about our individual experience.
We were both kneeling at the time.
We were both focussed on the Eucharist.
We both felt the ‘brushing past’ on our upper arm – we were kneeling, (He) was walking past us.
It was a special Feastday. It seemed that he Lord wished to impress upon us the importance of, and the Real presence in, the Holy Eucharist. Perhaps we need to make more reparation against blasphemies and sacrileges against the Blessed Sacrament. Interestingly, the prayer theme for the day was “Special Graces”. We indeed are very blessed.
Thank you Lord for being with us and guiding us.
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory!!!
So then, what is it about this sublime and timeless prayer which has such dramatic impact on situations and nations?
In essence it is a repetition of phrases lifted from Holy Scripture, the living Word of God, which brings to mind Isaiah 55:11, “The Word that goes forth from My Mouth, shall not return to Me unfulfilled…without accomplishing My purposes.”
Originally associated with the 150 Psalms of the Bible, each bead of the Hail Mary represented one psalm over 15 decades. This was in an age of general illiteracy prior to the printing press when the Rosary was known as “the poor man’s Psalter”. Nowadays it remains a Gospel compendium, with the contemplative aspect of visualizing scenes from the life of Jesus and Mary set against the almost musical, rhythmical backdrop of the “angelic salutation”, linked by Christ’s own prayer, the Our Father, and theTrinitarian Glory Be, enveloping the soul in a total atmosphere of prayer which engages both mind and lips.
When the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Dominic in 1214, the Holy Rosary assumed its present form along with fifteen promises for advocates. One in particular is awesome in its content: we are promised the “entire celestial court” as intercessors during our life!

On the 27th April 2016: Feast of St Louis de Montfort
Whenever Christians have gathered in great numbers united together reciting the Holy Rosary, miracles have happened, wars and invasions been averted, evils and heresies overcome.
Individual devotees today can similarly quote their own personal miracles and experiences of great wonder.
Catholic convert and ex-Satanic high priest, Zachary King, who visited New Zealand in February this year (2016), told of his first encounter with the Rosary when it was prayed outside an abortion clinic where he was involved. He had no idea what these people were “chanting”. He repeated the words he heard, “Hail Mary full of grace”, and the intended abortion had quite unexpected developments and was abandoned.
Again and again he witnessed the consequences when Catholics assembled outside clinics praying the Rosary.

Probably the most extraordinary testimony to the Rosary’s power comes from Japan at the close of the Second World War.
When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, four Jesuit priests were at the blinding epicenter of the nuclear flash that obliterated everything for kilometres. Miraculously they survived, unharmed, without any signs of radiation. Scientists were baffled and can still offer no explanation.
In Nagasaki, the same thing happened with a group of Friars. They were at ground zero, their lives preserved too. Within a week the war concluded, on August 15, the feast of Mary’s Assumption, and remarkably this was the name of the Church where the Jesuits were stationed. Both the Jesuits and Friars believe they were saved by the Fatima prayers, especially the Rosary which they were praying.
After the Nazis withdrew their troops from Austria at the end of the same World War, this beleaguered nation was then occupied by the Soviets who used it as the strategic centre-piece of the Eastern Bloc in their post-war manoeuvres. In obedience to the Virgin Mary’s request at Fatima, seventy thousand Austrians collectively agreed to pray the Rosary, and for some unknown reason, the Russians packed up and left their country on 13 May 1955,a key Fatima date.
