THE ANGEL CONNECTION

~ OCTOBER 2011 NEWSLETTER ~


Hi Everyone!

October is a power packed month full of special blessings! The Feast of St. Michael celebrated at month's end on September 29th, led us into the month of October as we begin with The Feast of St. Teresa, Little Flower on October 1st. That special feast day is followed by the Feast of the Holy Angels on the 2nd, then by the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on the 4th, as well as Our Lady of The Rosary on October 7th! Get ready for the blessings to flow!

Special thanks to all of you who offered prayers for my trip to Detroit, MI where I was invited as guest speaker atThe Marian Peace Center's annual Angel Conference. To my delight, the conference title was "Our Angel Connection". It was fantastic to say the least! I was so honored & blessed to have met Fr. Wolfgang Sietz, National Director of Opus Sanctorum Angelorum ("Work of The Holy Angels"), who also served as guest speaker. He is a brilliant and articulate speaker who shows joy and devotion in his teachings around the world. I was so amazed and thankful on how the Holy Spirit led us from start to finish. Our talks complimented one another's in a profound way as the attendees shared how they were touched, enlightened and encouraged by being able to understand the teachings and witness stories brought to life throughout the day.
The Conference was full of confirming moments in my mission with God's holy angels. It was a blessing for me to have come full circle from when I was first called to The Work of God's Holy Angels over 17 years ago led by my spiritual director, Fr. Bob who you've all heard me speak fondly of throughout the years. God rest his soul with the angels above.

Special thanks also to my friend, Jim Miller who does so much for so many. Jim is a lay apostle of Divine Mercy where he tirelessly works his mission of spreading devotion of God's endless mercy. He is also a board member of The Marian Peace Center of Detroit and provided the wind beneath my wings (so to speak ) to get me to Detroit for this wonderful Angel Conference! It was so nice to meet everyone there and I thank him for his support as always. Jim has been our guest many times at The Women's Rosary Breakfast where he's shared his gifts & love of God in The Divine Mercy. Thanks Jim!

There is much to share about God's holy angels and I feel re-ignited, refreshed and full of joy as we move forward sharing the power God has not only given us through His holy angels but how He instructs us on how to allow our angels to help us, guide us and protect us during our lifetime here on earth. Come and join us this month where we will share more about God's holy angels at the Women's Rosary Breakfast.

AN ANGEL CONNECTION IN A MOST UNUSUAL SETTING...

Do you believe in Angel Connections? Sometimes, God allows certain events in our lives in order to lift us up and to put the hope back into our lives. These connections can arrive in various ways, most often very unexpectedly....

God's holy angels came to take my Dad to heaven two years ago, this September. Oh how I miss him so. He was the kindest, most loving dad anyone could ever hope for. He had a quiet wisdom which was always right on the mark...and to him, family was everything. We had many special traditions we shared as an Italian family and one of them to to plant tomato plants each season. My heart was especially heavy this year with Father's Day coming up and I reflected about how much fun it was to dig the ground with him, plant the tomatoes, care for them daily and watch them grow into beautiful ripe fruits to share with our family and friends. So, I thought, what the heck, why not plant a couple of tomato plants at his grave-site? I visit there often and we can care for them together. So off I went to make this special purchase.

I drove to the cemetery with my Mom and we lovingly dug the land on either side of his gravestone and planted two prized tomato plants. With happy hearts, we headed home until the next few days, when it was time to water and check on the plants progress. When we arrived at the gravestone, sure enough the plants were doing well! But something very strange was present. Someone had manicured the flowers and sifted bark mulch all in between. It was so pretty...but we surely did not do this nor did anyone in our family.

As I stood there in surprise asking my mom "who would do such a thing"? A voice answered that caused me a shudder, "I did that, I hope you don't mind." There stood before me, a complete stranger who had decided of all the graves in the cemetery, that he would stop at my dad's to care for it.

Well, my goodness, "Who are you? Are you a caretaker for the land?" He responded, "No, I'm not." He told me his name and although it didn't ring any bells, there was something so very familiar about him. He proceeded to tell me that he saw us planting the plants a few days ago and thought it was very sweet. We had experienced a bad storm the night before and he thought to check on the plants for some reason. He told me that he'd lost his wife last year and was heartbroken, and having a hard time recovering. That was the reason that he spent so much time at the cemetery...to be with her. God Bless his heart. I knew the pain of loss and I was dealing with mine as he was with his. We talked for a few minutes and then I asked him his wife's name. Whenever he told me her name, I was shocked and the connection came together for me.

It turns out that his wife was a dear friend of mine who had held 2 Angel Parties for me at her home. (An Angel party is where I am invited into the home to tell my story and my mission with God's holy angels) She loved angels and had so much faith in God. She was a beautiful person. When I told him, he was shocked as well and suddenly gasped and said, "You mean you are the Angel Lady? Oh my God, she loved you and we both know how much she loved angels!" We remembered meeting each other several years ago at their home. Amazing, isn't' it? He was convinced that his wife's love for angels brought us together. I knew he needed some hope to go on. We were able to talk for a while, bringing up fond memories of her. He needed that on that day. I pray that he found some of God's light in his life again by way of this beautiful angel connection.
