OUR LADY OF THE SIERRAS MESSAGE OF MAY 3rd, 2002 

Mary speaks On May 2nd Jerry and I returned to Northern Illinois for our annual visit. Around 3:00p.m. today while sitting in a chair in the family room of our home in Elburn, Illinois, I began to hear a familiar voice and quietly gathered my blessed candle, notebook and pen and headed to the bedroom where I would have privacy for what may follow. My husband was taking a "command performance" nap on the sofa at the time. What was also interesting was the "feeling" he received upon awakening to open the bible and read Jeremiah 26 while I had slipped out of sight. He simply woke up and turned to this particular passage. It may not have any connection with the message I received; however, those knowing my husband are aware he is not a particularly frequent reader of Holy Scripture. Be what it may, we urge you to pray to the Holy Spirit for discernment as you read the following. The message began in prayerful tongues....I know the word "Mother" was mentioned numerous times. "My beloved children, Gather tonight as a family in prayer for the world and those who inhabit it. Long for peace and tranquility ...beseeching Almighty God for His mercy as corruption and destruction seek to permeate the slightest crevices of the soul. Confusion sets in and disrupts peace....the peace of Jesus. Where lies true peace but in love and forgiveness. You are being choked by pride and unholy desires of the flesh ..disguised as tastefully delicious delicacies at the expense of your soul. My children, when you truly trust in God, you plainly see how evil and sin coupled together distort truth. Through God's grace you are given the discernment to see through falsehood with penetrating eyes of love...the eyes of Jesus...not judgmentally...but with the eyes of the heart that continuously prays for sincere and lasting conversion. My Son asks for simplicity of the love of God....where a holy serenity of obedience calms the disruption of a world lost beneath a darkened veil of want (selfishness)...and needs (charity) subtly surface..and the fulfillment of God's plans become an incomprehensible light which transposes good from evil. Arise, My children, to life with God...not to unhealthy impromptu urges which confuse and mislead...but cling with unquestionable faith to His unending mercy...surrender your free will and you will be enraptured in the calming peace of Jesus". Commentary: Just a personal thought. Picture yourself standing before God each day of your life and without fear discuss the day...your accomplishments ...or lack thereof. Did you do the best you could, but most importantly did you do all out of Love for Him who Loves us so very much? Let the Love of God always be our goal! When we fall short of our goal...let us remember He still loves us...we haven't failed until we stop trying..even then He continues to call our name until at last we finally "hear" ..and say "yes, my Lord...I am coming!

 Patricia is a convert Pat began receiving messages from our Blessed Mother and Jesus in 1997. Our lady has told us that this is a holy mountain protected by St Michale the Arc Angel who always accompanies our Blessed Mother when she comes. Our Lady has said there would be many miracles , healings and conversions on this holy mountain. A statue of St. Philomena was donated in 1998 and Father Giovanni Braschi the care taker of her relics in Mugnano Italy has made the Shrine a St. Philomena Center also.
