*update on my dream of Jesus* . . .meditating on what I am supposed to do to warn people Jesus is coming. I just can't go out on the sidewalk and proclaim it, my 76 year old knees wouldn't hold me up. So, I created a Holy Card, a tri-fold. And put it in a little sleeve. We had Mass at our church when St Carlo Acutis was declared a Saint, and there was a relic on the altar. So, when we were venerating the relic I took my brown scapular and touched it to the relic creating a third class relic. Every Holy Card I make is touched to my scapular, and I put a sticker on it that says "Touched to third class relic of St.Carlo Acutis". I took over 50 of them to my Carmelite meeting and all of them were taken. To be distributed. I handed out more of them at the movie about St Carlo Acutis after Mass on Saturday. I have mailed them to friends who are going to hand them out . . .we need more holiness in this world. I was at a prayer vigil in our little town and handed one to an ex convict. He thought it was my business card, I told him everything he needed to know was on the inside of the card. The outside are three pictures, one of the Veil of Veronica, One of the Shroud of Turin, the other the painting I did of Jesus. When you open it up it has the Devotion to the Holy Face. I will be at a Ministry Fair after all our Masses this weekend and will print 500 of them. My table will be about the Secular Carmelites and hope to get some interest going. So, I am sure this is the direction I am supposed to go. But it gets Better!!! I was sharing with my cousin my dream, I haven't told many people because, well, they look at you like you're off your rocker. But I told her about it and that I was going to send her a dozen cards to hand out. She told me her best friend just had a very similar dream and printed out bible verses she was handing out to people. My message gave her goose bumps. He is coming! But we can speculate all we want about how and when. When he was born in Bethlehem it was not what the people were expecting. I don't waste my time on speculation or whatever and have not been spending much time on the internet. There is more important work to do. Years ago when I first found this site, Padraig was talking about walking into his town and shaking people to "Wake them Up" . . .I kind of laughed at him and told him that was a bit confrontational, and hoped he wouldn't get knocked in the head. But this is what we need to do, wake people up. Jesus IS coming . . .he wants souls . . . .thanks for listening. God Bless You.
Katfalls This idea and your card are beautiful. I visited Manapello in the past few months to see the Holy Face and it was a very beautiful experience. The power in venerating the Holy Face is overwhelming.
The Holy Spirit has inspired you to distribute these beautiful holy cards. We are going to witness a great spiritual awakening. God bless you for answering His call. +
I just read Katfalls inspired dream. Jesus had a big ask of her. . . Since she is an artist, I wonder if she supposed to put that talent to good use. Maybe a beautiful sign or a billboard or a sculpture that travelers see going in and out of town on that dirt road Jesus mentioned. An image to stir the soul - He is coming so get ready. Just a thought.
Good thoughts Rain . . .not sure there is enough time to accomplish all of that. I do want to create a painting of the Interior Castle, something I have wanted to do for a long time. The cards I can distribute to alot of people who can then distribute them. They are going around the country and I feel they are surrounded by Holiness because they were touched to a third class relic. There have been many road signs saying "Jesus is coming soon" that people just ignore. So, being in the presence of Holiness I think is better. Also, just being prepared is a good thing because when Jesus comes, or if it's the warning many people are going to be wanting answers. And good catechized Catholics will have the answers. Keeping a catechism on hand will be more important than stocking food. People are starving for spiritual food, holy food. When my cousin's friend was circulating bible quotes I took that as she kind of got the same message as me, holiness needs to be circulated. And we can't be afraid to offer it. The dirt road could represent "The Road Less Traveled", not necessarily dirt. But out of town, away from where we usually gather. Go out to the needy, maybe. Certainly is alot to ponder with the Dream! I never did any missionary type work before, but this is the time to start figuring it out. I can at least offer the card to someone, they can take it or leave it . . .
Oh my goodness! This is prophetic for me at least! A few months back I came across the Holy Face devotion and felt God was drawing me to it. I made myself a chaplet and got some medals. I watched Fr Carney’s videos. A little while later a very holy friend of mine visited and over coffee I suggested that if she hadn’t said her rosary on the drive over we might say it together. To my surprise she hadn’t already said her daily rosary as, she explained, she was saying the Holy Face chaplet. I was astonished as I’d not heard of this devotion until a few weeks earlier. Imagine my joy that a close spiritual friend was also a devotee. She encouraged me to join the Archconfraternity based in Tours, France, and I have done so. I love the HF leaflets. They are exactly what we need! The Holy Face devotion is for our times! By the way, if you say more than three rosaries a week, do consider joining the Confraternity of the Rosary. If you look online you will see how to join in the country where you live. Many indulgences are available and no pain of sin applies if you don’t manage three 5 decade rosaries a week.
Thank you so much for sharing! I also remember your dream during Covid about DNA. It really helped me during Covid and Covid vaccine difficulties. I do believe Jesus is coming soon and feel an outpouring of joy in my life, as you describe in your dream. This is despite going now through one of the most difficult times, as my husband left me 7 months ago. I also had a dream in which I saw Jesus many years ago and shared in this chat. It was just as you describe the purest strongest love that I felt in His presence.
I had a strange sad dream last night. I dreamt I was in a Church I had never been in before, full of people and Mass was being said. Looking towards the altar I felt a deep misgiving and after mass was over I went to the altar to inspect it I found things that shocked me. But I also found the congregation and especially one man looking at me with what looked like anger and even hate. I decided to leave but half way down the aisle I wondered if I was imagining the hate and returned to speak to the man. He went into a rage and made the vilest comments to me. It reminded me of Blessed Catherine Emmerich and the False Church.
There is a cascade of events occurring that indicate we are in the period of prophetic fulfillment. Ultimately, what Jesus spoke to you is a message of hope and of the need to be ready. It also prompts the question: "What changes in my life are necessary to prepare for my own death? I need to make them NOW! Death may be at my doorstep! Jesus is at my doorstep! Rev 3:1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are dead. 2 Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God. 3 Remember then what you received and heard; keep that, and repent. If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you. 4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who conquers shall be clad thus in white garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life; I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
I had a very short dream last night. I was walking somewhere near a Church. All of a sudden, out of the side of my eye I saw Padre Pio walk up the steps and I turned my head quickly saying silently in my head, Oh how I love you Padre Pio. He immediately turned his head towards me with those loving piercing eyes and said audibly, I love you too. I was shocked that he had read my mind. But his words had such power that I was overwhelmed by the love of God and I fell to the ground as if slain in the spirit. At that point I woke up. So real.
Wow don't think that was a dream, I was told once that when you dream of Padre Pio its not a dream but reality
Well John that insight has made my day. I still remember those eyes and the power of his voice. What a saint. I have only ever had one mystical experience and it was at a vigil in Mount Melleray grotto when the statue of our Lady turned into Padre Pio for me for about ten minutes. So maybe the dream was a wee reminder for me of that although this time I heard him speak.
I am so happy to hear this because many years ago I dreamed that I was in a stone walled chapel and Padre Pio came and sat down and said to me " what can I do for you?" And I said something like what should I do. And a scroll unrolled with the words "Love God with your whole heart your whole soul and your whole strength" and I said to him " but I find the world so interesting..." and I woke up. I've meditated on that comment I made over the years as a profound bit of self knowledge that I have struggled with all these years. Too much interest in the world and its glittering false gold. I believe Padre Pio showed me this. Many years later my husband was deathly ill in the hospital and a close friend brought me a first class relic of Padre Pio. I placed it on my husband and he and I prayed the Sacred Heart novena that Padre Pio loved asking his intercession for healing. That night I was back at home and at 3 AM my husband called from the hospital nearly in tears. He said he felt profound warmth go through his whole body and he knew he was different. Later the MD's came in and were astounded and perplexed. The swelling was gone. There had been healing!!! They had no explanation. I i.mediately wrote to the Padre Pio center to Vera Calandra and sent pictures of my husband and children to be touched to Padre Pio's relics and I was enrolled at San Giovanni Rotondo as a child of Padre Pio. I must remember to call on him every time I pray the Sacred Heart novena. I dont know why I forget.
I just had a dream of Padre Pio recently. There were many people climbing up a mountain with me. I held petitions in my hands as did most people. We were climbing toward a golden chapel at the summit. It had a golden roof and clear glass walls all around. The ornamentation was minimal. The floor was a burgundy carpet. The altar was golden as well and up on a wide marble dais. There was an altar table between the main altar and the people. That was where the petitions were placed. It was not a very large chapel but you could watch mass through the windows. Silence was maintained while in the chapel. All petitions needed to be placed on the altar before Mass started. No one could approach the altar once it began. And no one could speak during it. Or be kicked out. Padre Pio came down from heaven once daily to say Mass in this chapel. He looked at no one and began praying the Mass. He touched the petitions on the altar during and offered them for us. Again he looked at no one and no one was speaking. No communion was distributed. He was wearing golden vestments and when Mass was over, he returned to heaven. It was a beautiful and peaceful dream.
Wow Sterph. That is a magnificent powerful spiritual dream. A message from heaven. Our prayer petitions do make it to " the Holy mountain" and Padre Pio prays for us. Such profound imagery. And silence. Everyone silent before and during the Holy Sacrifice. Thanks for sharing this.
