Our Lady

On December 12, 2008 on a visit to El Salvador, I visited El Salvador Del Mundo Church. This huge beautiful Catholic Church had a dimly lit ante room with a beautiful mural of Our Lady of Guadeloupe. The vision touched my heart. I had seen many pictures of Mary, but this bronze beauty took my breath away. I visited the Market and saw how artists depicted Mary, with great emphasis on her EYES. I returned to Jamaica, and started to learn more about the story of Our Lady of Guadeloupe. Within a few weeks of my return, I experienced two miracles. The first was the appearance of a seasoned artist at our Christmas Play. He created the central prop, a tree called "Half Way Tree" within 24 hours. The second was an offer of financial support for a project, in its embryonic stages. Buoyed by this experience and seeing my Aunt make a full recovery from a serious surgery, I started to research Our Lady. On February 6, 2009 I felt overwhelmed by the readings on Fatima. The children, the visions, the words of Our Lady were too much for my poor mind and soul. I broke. I needed to find a sanctuary to hide my ignorance. So much information is available, but was not shared with me, up until now.
