The Miraculous Power of the Crusade Prayers and the Messages

Introduction
We had been praying for and trying to help a Crusade Prayer Group member’s son.
Following is the testimony of Graham at a Crusade Prayer Group Meeting
on Thursday, 24th September, 2015 at Veronica’s house:

Graham’s Testimony:

Hello everybody.
My name is Graham, and I have a story I would like to share with the world.
To believers, but most importantly, non-believers.

I started life in a public school, for which I have little memory. I started at Catholic School in Year 4, in Australia – that’s approximately 10 years old. While I was at this Catholic school I became an Altar boy and attended Mass so regularly I knew the service by heart. During this time, apart from the pretty normal troubles kids have, my life was normal. I also had and have a wonderful loving family. I continued going to Catholic School and serving as an Altar boy until I was 13 years old and then we moved to a Government Housing area.

I was very easily influenced and quickly fell into the wrong crowd. My Mum tried to keep us going to Church, but my brothers and I had other things we wanted to do. Once I stopped going to Church, my life began to descend into utter chaos. I started stealing, lying, having sex, disobeying my parents, and so much more. Needless to say, I ended up in Children’s jail. I served probably 18 months of my teenage years incarcerated.

When I got out, I managed to stay out of trouble with the Law of man, but continued to sin HORRIBLY, all the while CLAIMING to be Christian and to have faith. At around 22 I got addicted to Heroin, my God please forgive me for those years of my life, so Godless. I stole from EVERYONE! I had allowed myself to drift so far from God, that things I once would never DREAM of doing, I was now doing without batting an eyelid. My shame was, and still is, so great.

I managed to get away from this life style, thank God, but trouble, anger, problems and everything that could go wrong did go wrong still, so I retreated into online gaming, to escape reality. Here I met someone that became a good friend, but after a while he introduced me to The Lost Book of Enki, and I realised he was a God hater. I MUST be honest, I was sucked in by this obviously well put together ancient tablet. I actually started to believe some of it. After about a month of reading and research, which for a reason I didn’t understand at the time, I had an insatiable desire to absorb more and more information. Then I discovered that these tablets described the lies of one of the fallen ones.. The Egyptian gods. Once I started to see that these beings actually walked the Earth, and that SO much of what I found PROVES the bible is TRUTH, I came back to God in a way I never thought I would!!

I don’t believe anymore, I KNOW!! So I decided I wanted to follow God to the letter, and started to study the bible. Before long I found myself flooded with what I had no idea were Protestant type questions that I desperately needed answers for. Nothing anyone could tell me could convince me that the Catholic Church was right. I even attacked the prayers that we say to our most Blessed Virgin Mother, please God forgive me, saying we should pray to God alone. I kept researching and reading and everything led me to Protestant conclusions.

My Mum told me I was talking like a Protestant, so I tried to contact a Protestant Church. However, I ended up in touch with a Baptist Minister. He came to my home, we spoke about my concerns, we read the Bible and we prayed. He invited me to their Sunday service and I attended. They were lovely people, with the best of intentions, but the service that’s meant to WORSHIP God was so much less than that. I visited my Mum the following week and she gave me a book to read, “Warning from the Beyond”. TRY TO GET THIS BOOK!! After a very short time of reading, I was FILLED with grief, sadness, a horrible emptiness, followed by a feeling of CERTAINTY that Mary is INDEED our Most BLESSED Virgin Mother.

The following day my mother took me to meet the most dedicated, holy loving people I’ve EVER met!! If heaven will be full of people like these, BELIEVE me, YOU WANT TO BE THERE! I immediately felt like family. We started to pray the Rosary, and MANY other prayers, and during this prayer session the most AMAZING thing happened.(Graham is talking about our Crusade Prayer Group and the Crusade prayers).

I saw first a flash of light, followed by a dim illuminessence of the entire room, it slowly got brighter and brighter. I’m not sure how long it remained as I closed my eyes. At the time I thought someone had simply switched on the light and turned it up. The problem with this solution is, we were in a room on a bright sunny day with a HUGE window that had the curtain opened all the way. When I mentioned it to my mum, she had no idea what I was talking about, and no one else saw it either. That’s not possible, it was SO BRIGHT!!

Also during the rosary, we were doing Sorrowful Mysteries, I felt the most horrible feeling of betrayal, abandonment, loneliness and emptiness. I was so emotional I found it hard to pray. I now know this was a sign for me, reassuring that what we were doing was VERY pleasing to God.

I now know it was all one big journey guided by God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary to open my eyes to the evil ones that will soon be here, if they’re not already. And that I had all those questions so I could learn the answers to help those needing answers after the Illumination of conscience. I believe this to be the same reason God led me to meet the Baptists too, we got along very well. This opens options for them too, they can seek answers from someone who loves and serves God that they know.

People, if God still has time for this lowly sinner, he has time for us all. I hope that condensing something that should be a novel down to one page doesn’t take away from the message contained within. God NEVER gives up on us, it is MANKIND that have given up on him. WE ALL NEED TO PRAY!!

Please pray the rosary as OFTEN as you can! It’s our best weapon against the evil ones.
Pray for the Priests, Cardinals, and Bishops.
Pray for the Souls in Purgatory.
Our time is short!! Christ is coming.
God bless you.

Conversation between Graham and Donna (member of prayer group) after writing the testimony:
On Fri, Oct 2, Donna wrote:
“Ok firstly your testimony is AMAZING!! It’s so real. I LOVE it!!! It can’t help but touch souls! Wait til my mum reads it! …God has big plans for you, Graham! He loves you SO much! I think the prayers of our Blessed Mother saved you!

Graham replied:
“Oh believe me. You know what clinched it?
I had a thought that said
“Think of the lengths your mother would go to for you, now imagine if you were Christ!” That was IT for me!! I’m so sorry it took so long.

Donna: Wow- that’s amazing! I want mum to put that in too! (i.e. onto our website)
And you know what, when I read it, I was equally amazed about the “flash of light” as the rest of the light story.
I had instant recognition that I’d heard of that somewhere before but couldn’t remember where…
Then as I was re-telling mum, I suddenly remembered! It’s when Our Lady appears to the children of Fatima! Same details. Her appearance was always preceded by a flash of light.

At the time we prayed, I knew Our Lord was present- I thought I could feel His Presence or sense it. When you told your mum that it was because Mary and Jesus were present, I thought “of course, Graham is right. They must have both been there: Mary is always beside her son!”

And I just remembered one more thing. A long time ago, I told the others that there would be another (bigger) miracle when our prayer group was complete. It wasn’t complete yet; there were more to come and Jesus was waiting so no-one would miss out.

Well this clearly means you are one of us! Because I think this was the Miracle and the sign Jesus desired to give us. Even if you can’t be with us in body, you will be in spirit. (Graham .lives about 3 hours drive away and won’t be able to attend our prayer group very often).

In reference to the book mentioned in the testimony, Graham wrote:
“Our Blessed mother said that this book was to be made available to ALL
by putting it on the tables at the back of the Church FREE OF CHARGE.
This hasn’t been done either
This book describes SO MUCH!!
In my eyes, ESSENTIAL reading for the whole world”

Veronica’s Testimony:
On Thursday 24th September we had a visitor to our Prayer Group. He was the son of a prayer group member and we had been praying and trying to help him. He had been far away from his Faith and suddenly a few weeks ago went to Confession and Holy Communion. He had felt very special after Holy Communion and inspired. He started to read the Bible and anything he could find, but within a few days, he had turned and was accusing his mother of idolatry and worshipping holy pictures and statues. There were many other issues.

His mother was trying to help, Donna was trying to help the mother, but nothing helped and we were getting nowhere. Finally, a thought popped into my daughter’s head – she told his mum to invite him to a prayer group. And she did. There he was last Thursday at our JTM prayer meeting.

It all seemed very normal. He joined in all the prayers and the Rosary and chaplet. The only notable thing, which I mentioned to the group afterwards, was that during the Rosary (I think the Crucifixion) I heard a voice behind my shoulder say my name. I turned my head slightly in that direction but quickly realized there was no-one there but the ladies on either side of me praying. I knew it had to be my guardian angel. I thought that maybe I had been distracted, but I couldn’t recall the fact that I was, but it was quite probable, so I tried to focus on my prayers more intensely. (This was confirmed after I read Graham’s testimony about what he was feeling during these Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary.)

At the end, as usual we picked 3 readings at random from the Book of Truth and Bible.When we finished and started to chat, Graham said that every single word in every message was meant for him. He was on a “spiritual high” – he was full of zeal and ready to go and fight for Jesus!

The theme for our Crusade prayers for that day was “Special Graces”.

After Graham and his mum arrived home, he texted me with more information. He had been discussing the prayer group with his mother. Following is the conversation (as it is on my phone):

“Hi Veronica. It’s Graham. Just told mum about something that happened in prayer group today during the crusade prayers and she said I should have told you all.

The entire room lit up and got brighter, like when someone turns up a dimmer. I didn’t think much of it as I honestly thought someone had done just that but mum said she never saw it. But it was so bright she couldn’t have missed this!!”
Veronica’s reply:
“Wow!!!. That is huge. Jesus keeps reinforcing the fact that He is there with us at every prayer group just like he promised.”
“It is symbolic of the Truth starting to dawn on you until it became very clear.”
Graham: I agree, but I think it was also because Jesus and Mary were rejoicing over our utter devotion and offering of such holy prayers. Also assuring me that they were with us and love us.”
Veronica :
Yes U are right. When they are seen they always approach as a light first. Jesus also promised in those messages that He is present at all Crusade prayer groups. He also promised many miracles and we have seen quite a few in ours.”

Veronica’s comment (in summing up the prayer group for that day):
Once more, God in His benevolence had picked readings for us which explain the theme (Special Graces) that we prayed for today. The prayers explained the theme we had chosen for that day.
It is more than co-incidence. It happens all the time. It is God-incidence.

Most of all, through these readings and these prayers, a most amazing thing happened.
God had worked quietly on our visitor during our prayers.
These prayers are so powerful – as has been shown to us many times.
Praise be to God!

A Tribute to Our Guardian Angels Part V: My Angel Speaks

guardian_angel
Once, when I was about 25, I got really ill. It was hard to understand what happened and why, but I believe that it may have been a spiritual attack.I had been spending a lot of time in prayer, Mass and Adoration- more than ever. I started and ran a lunchtime prayer group for schoolkids and led them in the Rosary.

Then around the time of the school holidays, I suddenly became excessively tired as if my body was made of lead. I could not go anywhere. In actual fact, this overwhelming fatigue only allowed me to be out of bed for about 3 hrs a day in total. 

I saw our doctor who ran tests but could find no physical reason. He asked me if I had recently undergone  a terrible stress such as a marriage break up, but that was not the case- there was nothing.I was perplexed, sad and frustrated. After nearly 6 weeks of this, I was beginning to despair of ever getting better. I was not able to attend weekday Mass anymore or do any chores. I was a burden to my husband and not much fun to my young daughter, either. Mostly I was worried because I thought that in this state I wouldn't be able to work and help support our family, especially by paying the mortgage. I wondered, with sadness, what would become of us!

I sat down and cried alone on my bed; God and I had a 'heart to heart' where I just poured out these fears and my sadness, asking Him interiorly what would become of me, and of course, to help me. Then at my right shoulder I heard a voice answer; loud, deep and clear- a man's voice, as if someone was standing right there! He said "You'll be alright" in a very matter of fact voice. It was authoritative more than comforting, but the shock of hearing "a voice" made me stop crying immediately!

It didn't sound like I thought Jesus would sound, so I thought it had to be my guardian angel. I believed him, because he was so authoritative sounding, even though I didn't understand 'how' I'd get better, when they didn't even know what was wrong with me! And no, I wasn't going crazy... I had never heard an 'exterior' voice before, or since! 

I have heard an inner voice before, for example telling me to pray for someone, or giving me enlightened responses in situations, but this was completely different! This was an actual voice. How do you know the difference you ask? You know; believe me! It didn't even 'sound like' my inner voice. 

I have pondered on it many times over the years and I can explain how I knew with such certainty,  that I had heard an actual voice. An inner voice is one that you hear inside (in your heart and mind) but you don't hear it in 'one ear'! Also I felt, as well as heard, the sound of that voice reverberate in my ear drum; I felt the physical vibration of its timbre. And I even heard it's direction- over my right shoulder, as if a man was standing right beside my bed. It made me jump!

You always think you'd love to hear Jesus speak, Mary or an angel but (at least in this case) when it happened, it was a shock! The good news is that I did miraculously get better, gradually but quickly, within a fortnight of returning to work, although they never did find out what had been wrong with me.

For all the prayers, guidance, comfort and protection I've always had from you -because of God's great love, thank you guardian angel!! I know I have vexed you greatly at times. Please forgive me and help me stay true to Jesus!

A Tribute to our Guardian Angels Part IV: The Letterbox and the Phone.

The following Testimony was donated by a Prayer Group member.

My Guardian Angel Saved My Life

One day I wanted to post some letters, so I stopped at a side street off a main road. I parked across the road opposite the letter box. I had to walk across the road to post them. The street was a “T” intersection.

As I dropped the letters in the big red letter box, I heard a voice say to me, “check the letters.” I said back to it in my mind, “I dropped them in.” It said again a little louder this time, “Check the letters in the box.” I said again, “ I put them in.” It then repeated again, even louder still, “CHECK THE LETTERS IN THE BOX.”

I said, “OK.” So I checked the letter box. I said, “see I put them in.” Just as I finished saying that I put my foot onto the road stepping off the nature strip and around the corner coming from the main road was this Combi van speeding.
He did not slow down to take the corner. He was in the middle of the road just as I put my foot on the road. So If I had not checked the letters I would have been in the middle of the road as he came around the corner. He wouldn’t have been able to stop in time as the letter box was very close to the corner.

I would have been killed if I didn’t listen to my Guardian Angel. It was really funny as our conversion was only a few seconds, but we said a lot. I thanked my Guardian angel for protecting me and asked for forgiveness, and said I was sorry for not listening the first time. So I give thanks to my dear Guardian angel and to God for giving us Guardian angels.

My Guardian Angel Telling Me To Phone My Friend

For many years I use to pick up a priest from M. He was a traditional Latin Priest. His name was Fr P.F. I used to take him to a house in T every Friday night at 6pm and he would celebrate the Latin Mass. The lady’s name was Emily. She was a really lovely lady. Both Emily and Fr F have passed away but I have fond memories of them both. Fr P F taught me a lot about the traditional Latin Mass and many other things. He had a good sense of humor too.

I drove Fr F for over 6 years every Friday night to Emily’s place. We hardly ever missed a Mass over there.

This one day, late in the afternoon, I heard a voice that said to me, “ring Emily”. I said again. “I don’t have to as I know she is going to have the Mass.” It repeated again, “ring Emily.” So I thought about it because it was not long before I had to leave. I thought it is only a phone call to check if Mass was on.

So I phoned Emily and she told me that she was not having Mass that night. I was so glad I phoned so I didn’t make the trip from N to M and then to T for nothing. It use to take me over 1 ½ hours to get to Emily’s after I picked Fr F up. Then another 1 ½ to take him home again. This was all in peak hour traffic too.

I thanked my Guardian Angel for telling me to phone first. I never used to ring before we went on Friday. It was just this one day I heard the voice.

Padre Pio and his Guardian Angel.

We all have a guardian angel, to protect us and guide us.
St Padre Pio had a great devotion to his guardian angel, and he encouraged his “spiritual children” to do the same.

Father Alessio, (Padre Pio’s attendant), told Padre Pio about a woman who had just written with a question about her job. He was surprised at his response. “I am very busy right now,” Padre Pio replied. “I cannot answer your question at this time.”

Father Alessio was confused. It was obvious to him that Padre
Pio was not busy. He was sitting alone with his Rosary in his hand.
He always had his Rosary in hand. Father Alessio remained silent.
“There have been many guardian angels here today,” Padre Pio
explained to Father Alessio. “They were bringing me messages
from my spiritual children. Did you see them?”

One day, Father Alessio was sitting by Padre Pio’s side, thinking
about his problem with oversleeping. He felt ashamed of
himself for being so unreliable. He told Padre Pio that he could
not understand why his alarm clock failed to wake him up. “You
must buy yourself another alarm clock,” Padre Pio said. “I am
not going to continue to send my guardian angel to you each
day to wake you up!” It was then that Father Alessio realized for
the first time who had been knocking on his door and calling to
him in his sleep.

On one occasion, when a man was making his confession to
Padre Pio, it became apparent to him that Padre Pio was aware
of his needs, even before he had a chance to verbalize them.
“The angel told me about your problems,” Padre Pio explained.

A Tribute to our Guardian Angels Part III: An Angel’s Name

(Submitted by a Crusade Prayer member)

I asked my Guardian Angel his Name

About 20 years ago, I heard that you can ask your Guardian Angel his name and he will tell you, so I decided to do just that.

I prayed about it and then I asked my Guardian angel his name. As soon as I did that a name that I had never heard of before popped into my head, but I was not happy. I did not feel at peace and I could not remember the name and I felt that the name came too quickly.

A little while later, I decided to try again with exactly the same result. I was still just as disturbed as the first time.

I decided to pray some more and tried to place myself in a quiet state of mind again. I then again asked my Guardian Angel his name and then a surprising thing happened that I did not expect. I heard in my head a very quiet but clear voice which I would not have heard if there had been any noise and what I heard was “My name is Joshua”. I was at peace.

As a result of this experience I always address him as ‘Joshua’ rather than ‘Angel of God’. I feel I have a more personal relationship with him, but I tread carefully about what I can actually ask for – whether he can, or should help me, or whether it is out of place for me to ask. It’s as if I don’t want to take undue advantage or our wonderful friendship/ relationship.

Every morning I ask him to help me with my day – eg my driving during the day. He feels like a brother to me.

Editor’s comment: St Padre Pio explained to one of his spiritual children “… and this heavenly spirit guides and protects us like a friend, a brother.”

A Tribute to our Guardian Angels Part II: A Car, A Bus, and a Voice

Testimony from a prayer group member

A Giant Angel’s Protection in a Car Accident

One day, when my granddaughter was 6 years old, she had a dream which she related to me. It entailed a “giant” angel on the window of her mum’s car, of which she was a passenger. A few weeks later, she was being driven home from school by her mother. At the time I was also driving home from work and saying the Rosary.

I received a call to say that my daughter had driven into a telegraph pole. Both were okay, but the car was a write-off. My granddaughter was sitting in the front seat (this was before laws which now do not allow children this young in the front). Her schoolbag was under the dashboard, which had been pushed right up to the seat. The bag could not be retrieved from under the dashboard, but my granddaughter was unharmed, as was my daughter. Their escape was miraculous. The only explanation was my granddaughter’s dream – that an angel had lain across the windscreen and protected them from harm.

My future husband’s time had not yet come.

My husband had just started work as a 16 year old in the city. He had an errand to go to the Post Office. He caught the bus, which was an old style double-decker with a door at the back as well as the front. The bus was in the middle lane, and cars were parked in the left lane. Traffic was slow and he was eager to get off. He could see the bus stop up ahead, where he knew the bus had to pull into. There were now no more cars parked in the left lane. He went to quickly jump off the slow-moving bus, but he couldn’t move! Just at that second, a sports car zoomed past the bus. It had come out of an underground carpark beneath one of the buildings and was racing to get past the bus before it reached the bus stop. He would not have survived. God still had plans for him!!! He didn’t tell anyone of this story till decades later.

Me and my angel

I love my Guardian angel. I have always, since I was little prayed the Guardian Angel Prayer every morning. I try to have a devotion to my dear Guardian angel. I talk to him at times, and ask him for favours – like trying to get me safely across a difficult intersection in the car. Sometimes I send him to someone whom I urgently need to contact who is not answering their phone. Whenever I have to get up early, I just ask my angel to wake me up in the morning at a certain time. He never fails. I don’t use an alarm clock. When I am at Mass, and find that my mind wanders, I ask my guardian angel to shield my mind so that I can focus on Jesus and the Mass. It works every time.

Recently I was with our Crusade Prayer Group and during the Rosary (5th decade – the Crucifixion), I heard someone behind my shoulder say my name. I turned my head slightly, on a natural impulse, but realised there was no-one there – only the usual prayer group members on either side, who were praying. I thought immediately it was my angel. I pondered for a few seconds, the reason for this, and came to the conclusion that my prayers needed more intensity – that perhaps I was distracted (although I couldn’t remember the fact that I was being distracted). As it turned out, all our prayer were needed that day for a special intention, which we found out afterwards.

A Tribute to our Guardian Angels – Part I: Angels and the Eucharist

The following is my personal account of what my daughter (about 8 yrs old at the time) relayed to me at Mass one Sunday evening, at St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Guildford.

We frequently attended this church in approx 2002-03.  St Pat's Church GuildfordWe lived much closer to another church, but travelled the extra distance to this little old church on most Sundays, as the priest and congregation seemed to me, on a whole, fervent and reverent. The Parish priest was Fr. Lou Breslan; a lovely, old priest with thick white hair, an often reddish face and a slight Irish accent. He always chose traditional hymns and, although lacking a formal choir, there were plenty of people who sang them beautifully. Although they cannot be seen in the photo, there were also traditional statues and Stations of the Cross in the church and an old choir loft up some steep steps, where my daughter and I chose to sit. Both levels were crowded, although the choir loft was not uncomfortably so, and we had a good view of the altar and sanctuary from up there.

Just after Holy Communion, my daughter pulled my sleeve and wanted to tell me something but I motioned to her to remain quiet while I finished my prayers of Thanksgiving after Holy Communion. She was really patient and waited without further interruption until I sat down again. Then she whispered to me that she wanted to tell me something but I was not allowed to tell ‘anyone’! She said that during the Consecration on the altar, she had seen lots and lots of angels! I guess you could describe it as a ‘multitude of angels’! They were all around the priest and the Eucharist; on the altar, all around the altar and above it, seemingly intent on the Eucharist. I’m sure they were adoring Our Beloved Saviour, maybe assisting the priest at the Consecration.

I was  amazed and awe-struck, but we didn’t converse further in Church, waiting until we got into the car to go home. I had immediately known that she wasn’t making this up; at least partly by her quiet, serious and almost ‘dutiful’ attitude. Also she had never spoken of seeing anything ‘holy’, or like this, before and has also not experienced any visions like it, in the 15 yrs since.

I couldn’t contain my awe and soon shared this with my mum who also told her brother, my uncle. (They are both believers) My uncle, who was an acolyte, asked her a few theoretical questions, wanting to know what the angels looked like; in particular I recall him asking her whether they had wings or not. She answered that some did and some did not. Her description was somewhat difficult to imagine for someone who has not seen them; she couldn’t really describe the colour of their robes; she said that they appeared to be made of ‘light’.

Anyway, she was very upset with me, unfortunately, for ‘telling nanna and uncle’- although I really didn’t think she would mind me telling nanna and strictly speaking I didn’t actually tell uncle; my mum did! Because she was mad at me for betraying her confidence, I wasn’t supposed to bring it up and mainly just kept the account and pondered it in my heart. I was dismayed to find out that recently, when I brought it up, that she had completely forgotten the experience and can’t remember it at all! She certainly did remember it for a few years, as I did occasionally refer to it, especially when seeking to emphasize the importance of reverence at Mass, but sadly, she seems to have lost the memory sometime, in her teenage years.

Angels at our Grandmother’s House.

I admit that I faintly remember that, as a young child myself (under age 5), I also saw angels, as did my younger sister, at my grandmother’s house, on a regular basis. We took the fact for granted and never spoke of it: the silence was an unwritten rule. I think this was because we  knew, instinctively, that adults wouldn’t believe us anyway, that they couldn’t see them and that we’d probably get spanked for making up stories. We didn’t pay much attention to the angels; we just played in their presence. My grandmother did pray a lot, including the Holy Rosary, and I’m sure her simple but devout faith, and her constant prayers, are the reason that most of her family have Faith today.

Thank You, our Good Lord God for these wonderful creatures that were created to serve You and Your Will (as were we). Holy guardian angels, Holy Arch-angels and Holy Mary, Queen of the Angels, pray for us and for our children!

A Testimony of Healing and a Powerful Prayer!

Jesus promised us, in his messages, that He would be with us in all our Crusade prayer groups. He has given us prayers to help us in all our difficulties and trials and endows us with many blessings.He said that there would be miracles in our prayer groups, and indeed many signs have occurred. (see other posts in this category).

Following is a testimony of Faith and Trust in the promise of healing inherent in CP 94.. by a relative of one of our prayer group members

4th September, 2015
My name is J and I live in Qld, Australia.I am a nurse by profession.

On the morning of 13/06/2015, I woke up with my left eye closed completely. I had started getting migraines and severe headaches. I was admitted to the hospital, then was transferred to a specialist hospital for investigations.

After the completion of all these investigations, the doctors told me that I had a mini stroke and they couldn’t find the cause. They said it may take six months for my eye to open and 6 – 12 months for complete recovery. I had asked my cousin to pray for me and she, in turn, asked her Crusade Prayer group to pray for me.

All I had in my mind, was that I didn’t want to die before receiving the Anointing of the Sick. After six weeks of my struggle, I received the Sacrament and started to feel better spiritually. On 31/07/2015, I was told that there was 5 percent chance that m y eye may not open at all. When I asked whether I would be able to work, the Doctor said he would sign to release my superannuation – meaning that I would not be able to return to work. Then the Dr. proceeded to complete and sign the form.

Due to my hectic work load, my daily prayers had been reduced to the daily Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. My Crusade Prayers were reduced slowly and I stopped at one point. My cousin (who lives 1000km from me), had told me about miracles occurring after people had said Crusade Prayer 94. They had heard this from their spiritual guide (representing MDM) who had visited the prayer group and related various Crusade Prayer Group miracle stories from around the world.

At this stage, I started to pray the Crusade Prayers with my one eye which was compensating for both with double vision. It was very difficult to read this way.
After a few days had gone by, my left eyelid started to open slowly. I continued my Crusade prayers and now, twelve weeks after the stroke, I have been cleared to go to work, beginning on 09/09/2015 which is in a week’s time.

The doctor said that it was a miracle. He said that he had not seen anyone have such a recovery anytime within the first 6 months. Note that six weeks previously, he said that there was a chance of my eye not opening at all.

All glory be to God!

I thank the priest who offered Mass for me and all those who said prayers for me.

After this recovery, I made a commitment to God that I shall continue to pray my Crusade prayers until I meet Him in Heaven after I leave this exile.

This is my sincere testimony of the miracle of Crusade Prayers. I believe these prayers have come from God and I am a witness to their power.

My humble heartfelt thanks to everyone who prayed for my recovery and please keep me in your daily prayers.

My sincere gratitude goes to The Holy Trinity, One Undivided God and to the Mother of Salvation

OUR LADY’S FACE – Statue at St Paul’s Camden

25th June, 2015IMG_1136
The following is by a member of our prayer group and relates to something that happened at her local parish.
“I can’t remember exactly what date it happened, I think it was a Thursday night so maybe 25th of June.(2015)

I attended morning Mass and the priest announced that damage had occurred to one of the statues at the side portico of the old church in the courtyard which is in between the old chapel and the new church. There was no overnight storm or even rain, and to me the strangest thing is that even though some of those blocks are quite big, yet they only took out the face of our Lady, and nothing else was broken.IMG_1133

Even Our Lady’s face isn’t broken, just removed, as you can see the face in a pot plant, but nobody seems to notice. I didn’t even notice at first. It was later that night, when I was saying some prayers, that it came into my mind about the statue. So I decided to pay more attention next time I went to Church.

Some heavy sandstone pieces seem to have fallen from a ledge on a section just above the statue. The priest heard the loud bang in the middle of the night. These fell and broke the statue of Our Lady and the pieces can be seen in the garden. A few things are very unusual about this.

Firstly the piece of sandstone which fell and struck the statue, broke only the face of the statue, which was not sticking out, but somewhat turned down. (Editor’s note: The statue was originally up on the ledge. It is not known how it came to be on the ground – and not broken)IMG_1135

Secondly, this section, which is Our Lady’s face, remained fully intact and came to rest in the garden in perfect condition. In other words, it looks as if Blessed Mother’s face has been removed; as if she has been “de-faced”.

Thirdly, there seems to have been no reason for sandstone to suddenly fall. The church is very old (100 years or so) and has weathered severe storms without damage in the past and furthermore, the weather of this night was calm and mild.

I just knew it was a message from God, so I prayed about it, and I believe it means that our Blessed Mother will be removed from our churches, which is of course very sad. But even sadder is that most people won’t even notice – just as most people don’t notice if the Tabernacle has been moved from the middle of the sanctuary, or removed altogether.

Most people I have asked, where the Tabernacle in their church is say: “Oh I’m not sure I’ll have to have a look next time I go to Mass.” And if it has been moved nobody says anything anyway, so if they can remove Jesus and get away with it, they know they can remove Mary without any fuss. God help us. …”

Another similar sign to this lady some months before:
by Donna Liane

This same lady has a holy card with the Consecration Prayer to Jesus and Mary upon it which she always carries in her wallet. She sometimes uses it as a visual to help her focus during prayer.

One morning while at Mass, she got it out as usual to find that the face of Mary had been removed! It appeared as white (erased)! It was not “rubbed off” which is clearly visible if you view the original. The spot where the face was,is shiny white – as if never printed. In addition, it is ONLY the face, in a perfect oval shape and no other part of the body or any other part of the holy card. The Crusader got a big shock when she saw it! Then later she found that the imprint of it was on the picture of Jesus. When you feel this, there is a smooth texture, nothing sticky or rough.

Immediately, she told us at the next prayer group meeting and others around her.
She showed all of us the holy pictures concerned.

What could these signs mean?

The messages given to MDM tell us that when the Mass is changed all reference to Jesus and His sacrifice for our sins will be removed. Any reference to Mary’s role in our salvation will be likewise removed. In speeches and sermons, given both by priests and Francis, teachings about Christ and His Blessed Mother, as well as their Holy Names, are already being omitted, downplayed or twisted. The emphasis is almost solely on caring for ‘brother’ and the earth or other social-political themes. I have heard a priest say things like “we should not put Mary on a pedestal. She was just human like us”. On Saturday just past, a priest told his congregation that the woman in Revelation is not Mary but only symbolises the Church. Rarely, other than in a traditional church, do I hear the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in a sermon. – certainly not frequently.

But jokes and ‘stories’ are assured. Maybe God is drawing our attention to this.Her testimony is borne out in the following examples:

    “Past May the ‘Hail Mary’ was no longer heard in the Vatican”
    Posted on June 11, 2015 Updated on July 1, 2015
  • Back in 2013, when Bergoglio had only just taken the Seat of Rome and hadn’t been able to pass any changes yet, on the 31st of May, he concluded the Marian month with a Rosary. Although that’s what the Vatican press agency said. However, Bergoglio didn’t pray in front of the public – a few laymen did this.
    (On the website you see a picture of Bergoglio “praying the rosary.” He barely moved his mouth!)
  • Now, in 2015, in the agenda of Bergoglio for the month May, we don’t find any reference to the Marian Month or praying the Rosary.
    Bergoglio’s prayer intentions for May: “That, rejecting the culture of indifference, we may care for our neighbours who suffer, especially the sick and the poor.”
    On his twitter account during the entire month of May, there is not one reference to the blessed Virgin Mary or the Rosary!
    And on the video website of the Vatican Television center (CTV), there is not a single video of Bergoglio praying the Rosary in 2015!

Following are some comments :

“To say whether someone is truly entering into prayer can be difficult to say- but if any of my children are clearly distracted (looking sideways at the camera) or mumbling the words in ‘group prayer’, they are going to be spoken to and corrected if necessary. If he can’t or won’t pray the Rosary, which is a great sign of pre-destination, we must pray it for him. And this is not the only sign, the pro-life group gave (or offered) to him the sign of all the Rosaries they had prayed on his behalf and his reaction was not appreciative, judging by his comment about ‘rosary-bead counters’. If you are not at least somewhat worried about Bergoglio, you need to pray to God about it. Ask Him what he thinks. He’ll answer you. Just be prepared to accept God’s response and direction.”

As a follow up, BFP posted an article saying that there was no major celebration planned for the Vatican on the Feast of the Assumption. I find that shocking.”

“You did not mention the public recital of the rosary which took place on May 4, 2013, at St Mary Major Basilica. The Rosary was also lead again by lay people, while the mr. Bergoglio remained on the side of the sanctuary, seeming to remain silent.” (You can see this on a You tube video).”

Why is there no public Celebration scheduled for the Feast of the Assumption?
See: http://biblefalseprophet.com/2015/08/10/why-is-there-no-public-celebration-scheduled-for-the-feast-of-the-assumption/
The official liturgical calendar of public celebrations is at http://w2.vatican.va/content/liturgy/en/events/year.dir.html/2015/.html
Notice there is nothing on August 15, which is the major feast of Our Lady’s Assumption.

From the Book of Truth:
The Virgin Mary – April 14th 2013:
“Anyone in my Son’s Church on earth, who leads the people, who cannot recite the Holy Rosary before his congregation, does not come from God.
And on February 12th 2014:
Soon, the “Hail Mary” prayer will not be heard inside or outside of my Son’s Church. Much disapproval will be shown to those who visit my holy Shrines and Marian groups will be criticised for many reasons, all without cause.
**Any admission regarding the authenticity of apparitions involving me, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, will not be heard. All references to me will soon be frowned upon by a newly revamped shell of my Son’s Church on Earth. Devotions to me will be stopped in many churches, under the newly appointed regime to be introduced in the future. I will be forgotten about and then despised, by those who will claim to represent a new modern, all-inclusive church, which will bear little resemblance to the Church created upon the Rock, by my Son’s beloved apostle Peter.

Editor’s note: ** I wonder ,if this refesr to the Investigation into apparitions at Medjugorje, which have been ongoing for years now, and which were handed over to whoever is in charge of this at the Vatican, earlier this year? The expected announcement has, up to now, not been forthcoming.

That heavenly scent again!!

22nd August, 2015photo 3

Yesterday, there were 15 people at our prayer group. I noticed that there was a very strong smell of “roses”. There were flowers on the altar which were a week old, but the flowers still looked good. I took no notice of the smell.

After the prayers, my daughter mentioned it. I told her it was the flowers. We all went up to sniff the flowers. There was no smell. The heavenly scent kept moving, filled the whole room and moved around a little, became strong, then dissipated a little, then come back again. After I sniffed the flowers and agreed that maybe it was not the flowers, I went back to my seat, and there it was – right on my seat!

At last week’s prayer meeting we had a special visitor –  John. (This is not his real name). He is one of the people selected to introduce seminars and the Mission to all the various countries around the world. You have most likely met him if you attended the introductory meetings in these countries. He is at present traveling around visiting all prayer groups. He told us of many miracle stories. I will share these in the future, with his permission. At that prayer group, there were 3 people that smelt the “roses”. They were seated near him. We didn’t expect  a follow up occurrence.

A few days after this meeting with John,  something strange happened – something that pertained to something John noticed and mentioned before he left. We could not explain this incident , but with a little spiritual help, we had solved the cause of the problem.(We will keep the details of this to ourselves for now).

We all thought that our Bl. Mother was pleased and came to let us know.

One of our group said “Maybe we passed the test?”

Later that night, my daughter sent me an email, which confirms this new event – (just in case any of us still doubted).

C. writes in her email: (she had just left the prayer group 10 minutes earlier)

“On 20 Aug 2015, at 8:44 pm, C. wrote:
Thanks D, also when I left Prayer group today, I had just turned onto the … drive and I got the beautiful smell again, I was saying the healing prayer for different people, it only lasted a couple of minutes, but long enough to know I was definitely getting it, I wasn’t even thinking about it, I was just driving and praying, just wanted to tell someone.
God Bless xx”

My daughter replied (via email):

“Thank you so much C.! Telling us was really important. That’s definitely confirmation for our prayer group today. Because it wasn’t just in the room (with the flowers, which cast some doubts) but also afterwards in your car. That was assurance and to confirm what I thought- Blessed Mother was there with us today! And with you too, as you prayed. ☺️
**You know what’s funny? Last time this happened, (when you weren’t there and the whole group smelt it) It was later at my house that I smelt the roses again, and it was to remind me to tell YOU! …

I have copied mum in so she knows it wasn’t the half dead flowers. Did anyone actually ‘not smell anything’?
Mum, you have to tell … And record this on our website too- We can’t take it for granted. This was actually a very special grace today.
Let us all pray with more fervent hearts remembering who is “always there” when we are gathered in His Name as well as (often) His Holy Mother, whom God manifested to us in a special way today and graced with her presence.
Please put a photo of the new picture or maybe the statue photo I took, with the story, as a token of how much we love her and in gratitude-+ publish the story. “

** This refers to the first time this happened on October 3rd 2013. Read this story under “Signs and Wonders”

We love you dearest Mother and we thank you for all your care and protection and for all your very special graces. AMEN
