Total faith in Mary. This is important.
Sometimes, we humans have a hard time putting faith and trust into the unseen. Jesus is God. He is unseen. Mary is the Mother of Jesus, the Mother of God. She like Jesus is unseen also. Well, the unseen becomes very visable when certain things take place that have absolutely no human explanation. This young woman is such a case. The most amazing case I've ever witnessed with my own eyes. It is interesting how Mother Angelica once said, "We'll never know how much the Blessed Mother has done for us during our lives until we die." It is true. This woman in the picture once asked Mary "to prove there was a God." In Her own time, Mary did just that. And more. The ways of God are not our ways. The same can be said of the Queen of Heaven. The Holy Trinity has given Her total freedom to do as She pleases - and bringing souls to Him, is what pleases Her the most. Amy, the woman in this picture, spent years and years putting her trust and belief in things that never gave her anything back. The things of the world, which are temporary and fleeting, are what Amy believed in the most. And after a period of time, the promises of the world turned out to be great lies. The Virgin of the Grotto, with unlimited power given by God Himself, leads us the believe in what is real. What is true. What is Eternal. Death is not the end for us here. As I've said about our short time on earth, "we're only here for a cup of coffee." It is true. Life after death is real. Some people never open their eyes to this. Amy put her trust in the Virgin of the Grotto. And the Virgin of the Grotto will never let her down. That is reality. The face of Amy in this picture tells the story. Look at the smile. The look of peace. Of love. If you never read what I am writing here, and just looked at Amy's face next to her True Mother, you would know all you would need to know about Amy. Faith in Mary, is faith in love that is unconditional and never ending. I know it's true. And believe me, Amy does to. Thanks be to God.

This was taken in a time of great worry for me...But She was always there for me. I just needed to trust Her.
In the woods at sunset in Buxton, Maine, on a cold day in November 2009. I had no job. Winter was fast approaching. My car was a major concern. I was about to lose my housing situation. I had no family. But I always had Her. The Lord heard Her pleading for me every day. I had no reason to worry. I had my Brown Scapular on - sign of being a child of Mary. I prayed the 7 Sorrows of Mary daily. My 15-decades of Rosary a day, was a true life-line to the Holy Virgin. All She asks for is one 5-decade Rosary a day, that is all. I say with all of my heart - always give Her a little MORE than She asks for. She will always keep you safe and provided for. Her Divine Son listens to Her words for those who love Her. I absolutely trust in that with my life...........
