HEAVENLY ENCOUNTERS
As A Toddler Before God
I had just finished my evening prayers, and while still holding the Rosary in my right hand I found myself entirely engulfed in Light. If this Light is of Christ stay with me if of Satan I cast you out in the Name of Jesus Christ.
I found myself in a strange room. As I looked about and tried to stand I heard a Benevolent Voice say “BE CAREFUL YOU MIGHT BUMP YOUR HEAD.” I looked up and realized I was sitting under a large table. I leaned forward and found myself on my hands and knees. I realized I was a mere baby who was just beginning to crawl. As I looked about this Benevolent Voice asked me, “What are you looking for?” I replied not with words but with my thoughts, “I am looking for my older spiritual brother JESUS, MY LORD MY GOD. I looked in the direction of this Benevolent Voice and saw a large person seated in a large chair beckoning me with His Hands to come toward Him. Somehow, I knew that this was God. I looked to the left and saw another figure of a person who seemed to be there guarding God. I looked to my right and started to move toward a Doorway. I suddenly found myself as a young child of about 9 standing at the entrance to an Archway of many rooms. I saw Jesus in the Garden of Olives.
As A Young Child Outside The Garden of Olives
Speaking With Jesus
I tried to enter the Garden of Olives but was unable to. I then heard a voice say “You are too young to enter at this time but there will come a time when you will enter into My suffering.” ( As of 2020, and the ensuing years that has proven to be fulfilled and continues to be ongoing.)
Comforted By Mary
I now found myself as a young man of about 20, walking through high fields of grain wanting to have dinner with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I saw smoke from a chimney in the distance and walked toward the smoke. As I neared the hut the door opened and a woman pointed to the pond to my left. I immediately understood that I needed to go to Confession and cleanse my soul, in order to sit with the Holy Family.
Scanned By The Holy Spirit
Several nights later I encountered a very different type of Light, which was about 8 feet from me. I was unable to move as the Light intensely scanned me. I somehow knew that this was the Holy Spirit which I had encountered several times, before but never like this.
Encountering Angels
During my life journey, I have encountered numerous Angels, Saints, and Blessed Souls as well as numerous beggars, the homeless, and those who seem to be without any hope. Some don’t even have the strength to ask for help. I will write further about these encounters, especially with the beggars, the homeless, and those without hope. As for the Angels, the Saints, and the Blessed Souls, they never tell me who they are but if you look into their eyes you understand why the eyes are the windows to the Soul.
It was the First Saturday of the Month in April with the air chilly and misty. I was attending early Saturday Mass at St. Francis of Assisi Church on West 32nd Street. As I approached the Gates of the Church a strangely dressed woman walked past me walking with great difficulty. She was dressed in a dark Victorian-type dress. She also had a dark kerchief covering her head. She seemed to be from another Century! She climbed the steps of the church with extreme difficulty as I climbed the steps opposite her. We did not speak. Upon entering the church she went to one side of the Church and sat in a pew in the front. I sat on the other side of the church in a pew in the middle of the church. As Mass was being celebrated I heard this continual cry of a person in great agony. I soon came to realize it was the woman I saw when I entered the church. I moved from the pew I was in and sat several pews behind her. As the priest began the Consecration of the Host she became very erect and reverent. When I kneeled I would slouch while she remained upright. I was amazed at how she now reverently conducted herself during the Mass and especially before, during, and after she received Communion. As I returned from receiving Communion I sat in the pew in front of her. I now began to hear her cries again. Mass was over and I turned and asked her if she needed help. She smiled and began to leave the pew. I placed some money in her hand and asked her if this would help her. She looked at the $10.00 bill and didn’t seem to understand what the bill was or meant. She left and I asked God to help her. I suddenly realized she needed much more than a $10.00 bill. As I looked for her she was already leaving the Church, through the other exit. I had to walk quickly to catch up with her. As she was descending the steps I asked her to come back into the Church since it was beginning to rain. She said to me they don’t want me there. I immediately understood what she meant. I then said, but I want you there, and God wants you here. She smiled and now I noticed her brightly shining crystal-like eyes. They were those of a young woman and yet her face was that of an elderly woman who looked like she had been left in the sun for several hundred years. She began to proceed down the steps and I asked her what her name was. She said, Chrissy. I started to proceed back into the Church and then changed my mind. I would offer to take her to the hospital. I quickly descended the steps but she was gone. When I returned home I looked in the book titled Roman Martyrs which was a very old outdated copy. I found a Martyryred Saint named Saint Christina nicknamed Chrissy meaning Light of Christ, Christina of Bolsena, also known as Christina of Tyre, also known as Christina the Great Martyr, who is venerated as a Christian martyr of the 3rd Century. Her father Urbanus, who was the governor of Tyre wanted his daughter to follow the gods of Rome. She rejected her father’s wishes, smashing all the stone gods and goddesses in her room. Urbanus had her tortured. After his death, Dion the new Governor continued to have her tortured. He had both her ankles and calves tied to two horses. One for her right leg and the other for her left leg and then the horses dragged her throw the streets of Tyre. Dion continued to have her tortured and eventually, she died but she never rejected her belief as a Follower of Christ.
I had many other similar types of encounters with the Blessed, Saints, Angels, and everyday people. One of the homeless on the street told me that many people pass him every day, and a few drop some money in his hand, but that I was the only one who stopped to speak with him and ask him his name. From the looks of his severely swollen feet and calves, he was dying. I asked him if he wanted me to call an ambulance but he simply shook his head while still smiling. He finally allowed me to get him a bottle of water. That encounter was over 50 years ago.
The Five First Saturday Devotions can be found on the Home Page.
On July 13th, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima, after showing the three Fatima seers a vision of hell, said, “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… I shall come to ask for the Communion of reparation on the First Five Saturdays.”
On December 10, 1925, Our Lady said to Sister Lucia “Look, my daughter, at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful [Children of God] pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least try to console me with your prayers and sacrifices. I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for their salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention, of making reparation to me.”
Why Five Saturdays?
Five first Saturdays of reparation were requested to atone for the five ways in which people offend the Immaculate Heart of Mary:
1. attacks upon Mary’s Immaculate Conception
2. attacks against her Perpetual Virginity
3. attacks upon her Divine Maternity and the refusal to accept her as the Mother of all humanity
4. for those who try to publicly implant in children’s hearts indifference, contempt, and even hatred of this Immaculate Mother
5. for those who insult her directly in her sacred images.
