September Fourth, Two Thousand One
While at a Mass on Tuesday and during the first reading, a woman I will call D was at the pulpit, and as I looked at her I started to see a very soft whitish image come from behind her head. This image was in the shape of an oval and moved from her head left towards the altar and then disappeared. There were no details inside the oval shape. As time went on and in the weeks that followed, I kept seeing these ovals coming from other persons who were at the pulpit and mainly from priests who were at the altar. All the ovals continued without any type of detail in them and all these ovals always moved towards the altar when I saw them, no matter which church I would be in. Sometimes, these images were more frequent than at other times, but I always see these images every time I am at Mass. They are still occurring up till today. I also started to see them in other churches when I was on vacation or other travel. They just seem to be occurring more at the parish I belong to. After a period of time, I got the thought that maybe it was my eyeglasses that were causing a type of glare or whatever, so one time while I was observing an oval, I removed my eyeglasses and the oval was still there. Also, I have looked at nearby objects for a period of time and I never saw any type of halo or haze by it or coming from them. A few weeks after the incident of taking off my eyeglasses, I observed D reading at the pulpit when an oval that came from behind her hovered just to the left side of her head. The top of the oval took on the shape of a nun’s habit. All of a sudden, another oval came from behind that one, moved to the left of the first one, then rose halfway above the first oval and stopped. This oval started to take the form of the hairline of Jesus, this incident lasted for only a few seconds, and then both ovals moved to the left towards the altar and vanished.
Also, there were times I would see an aura, whitish in color, and it would usually be around priests who were at the pulpit. This aura would be about two inches in width and would be from one shoulder up around the head and down to the end of the other shoulder. This didn’t occur too often. I tried to understand what I was seeing and spoke to some priests to find out what we are giving back. There is definitely something we are giving back to God because I am seeing it. Finally, I realized that it must be love we are returning for the graces we are receiving. I didn’t get an answer from anyone I spoke to about this, the answer just popped into my mind, just like that. As I stated before, these different phenomena come without explanation. I would like to insert here that while all of these occurrences are happening, my prayer life increased and I found it extremely hard at times not to run to a rooftop and shout what was going on with me. There were many times that I had to really fight to try to stay humble, especially as you read further into the book about some of the other happenings. I would get into conversations with other parishioners and they would relate stories about visionaries and miracles and I would just listen and try never to say a word. A few of my friends to whom I have related some information started to change. They changed enough for me to feel it. There are times that I even start to wonder or question if I really saw what I saw. Then I understand that Satan is playing head games with me as to make me even doubt myself. For as you move closer to God, Satan moves closer to you, for he doesn’t want to lose you or any other soul.
