My Own Vision

For years I have kept this to myself in fear of ridicule. However, here it is.

In my 30's, although I had a hectic professional and personal life, I managed to 'keep the faith, said the rosary and as today I took my faith very seriously. At times I was conflicted and confused over finding my way in this life, as well as dealing with medical issues. I continued to pray to our Blessed Mother and attend mass.

One night while sleeping, I dreamt my father and I were in our home. {I am currently living with both parents caring for them, as my father is very ill and slowly slipping away.}

In this dream, Suddenly we felt an enormous jolt in the foundation of our home, the wind outside was very harsh; the sky was quite dark and the ground began to shake violently. We prayed. Suddenly, as fast as it began, everything stopped and all was quiet. My dad and I were compelled to go outside. We walked out.

Suddenly, we found ourselves totally naked standing before our Crucified Lord Jesus Christ in the heavens holding his arms and pierced hands out as if He were reaching for us. We lay down prostrate on the ground crying, but with complete overwhelming joy.

A sense of inner peace consumed my whole being then and now in difficult times when reflecting on that night.

I am confident about this experience, as I have since had similar experiences.

May we all find the peace, repent our sins, pray for sinners and those in purgatory. God Bless.
