The Luminescent Love of Jesus and Mother Mary

Photo Taken over Surfside Beach September 18, 2015 What do you see?

It had just rained and the sun had well set. The earthy smell from the nearby woods cast its ambiance into my nostrils. It somehow made my very slow pace seem alright. The water trough along the edge of the Fair Ridge Road hiccuped now and again with the sound of the polliwogs. They were my congregation as I did my prayer walk. 

"Hail Mary!" my head hung low and my stature was less than that of a mighty warrior but more like a guy who just finished sweeping the sidewalk in a Rockwellesque illustration. Perhaps it was the dampness that still filtered through the air combine with a day filled with tears of spectacular joy. The day was still completing its journey as I walk along with her. "The Lord is with you!" I prayed out loud and I knew in my heart of hearts today, I had a full day of glances and encounters with Jesus! He was with me too! 

Daybreak had begun with the breaking of the morsel and the sip from heaven's nectar with my wife. In the bread Camille heard the sanctus bells that remind us that like the robe of Aaron with bells in its trim, the sound is the sound of the Lord walking in our midst as He consecrates the bread to become His flesh. The wine that moistened her lips caused the living water within her womb to be quickened and ascend like a fountain flooding her with resurrection life. As I received the bread of life I saw a throne. It was the throne of the Pope in Rome and the Lord, who was to my right commented that St. John Paul II was very much like the Apostle Peter. Jesus spoke like someone at the breakfast table thinking out loud. Then when I sipped my sip of heaven's vintage wine of His precious blood it was like a kiss from the Savior. Kisses in heaven are nothing like kisses on earth. They flood the body with vigor and joy unspeakable.

By noon I was meeting someone to attend Mid Day Mass. Like a good non-catholic, I carried my Revival Study Bible and my journal and (oops) a Rosary in my shirt pocket. (I kind of sensed the Holy Spirit saying its okay to leave it in the car, "You will hear the Voice of the Word among the worshipers". i knew His voice but carried it with me anyway, but felt rather humbled. This is family or 'us time' not a time for battle lines 'me and them' time. 

The Mass had begun and when I first prayed I had a vision. It had the quality of Caravaggio. i was perched somewhere to the upper right looking down on a table surrounded by a sepia cloud. On it I saw the most beautiful monstrance worthy of a place in heaven's adoration chapel.I also saw a magnificent golden chalice but the monstrance and the chalice moved to the two corners at the top of the table to reveal the most beautiful golden bell. it lay on the table and i was riveted as I gazed upon it.

As the Mass continued and we visited various ports of prayer and scripture, like gentle rain the images kept passing before me. There were so many I can't recall them all but they included seeing Holy Mother Mary. She was kneeling towards her Son in front of me (to the left) so I saw her from behind and she was dressed in white. Then a moment later I saw her to my left and she was still kneeling, praying looking towards the Lord, and I noticed she was wearing white and blue. For some reason this made me think of 'white' means 'as in heaven' and the 'blue' meant 'so on earth reflecting Jesus words to us on how to pray, "As in heaven so on earth". A few moments later I saw three of Jesus' fingers on the top of someone else's hand as if to bless them. The flesh was glorified flesh, what flesh looks like in heaven. It was beautiful and had a heavenly light about it. 

Following this I saw two tall figures passing 'towards Jerusalem' from right to left in front of me. They were speaking with each other. The Holy Spirit whispered that they were St. Peter and St. Mark. I noticed they looked so young and filled with joy. it 'occurred' to me later that Peter represented the Roman Catholic Church and mark the Eastern Orthodox Church. Then before me, I saw the tops of the heads of a silhouetted line of people before me. They were all looking forward, as I was. Then to my right I saw a flash of light like a gleam refracted on a piece of foil. 

With an ongoing floodgate of tears of joy welling up, I got in line and went forward to receive the blessing of those serving the congregation. (I could not receive the Host because I am not Roman Catholic - house rules); but I did get the blessing of the trinity upon my forehead and a wonderful continuation of the blessings from daybreak! 

When I returned to my seat, kneeling down, eyes closed, the wonderful display of luminescent images continued to parade before me. I covered my closed eyes with my hands and then like a child opening the doors to 'see all the people', light streamed in and I saw huge glorious clouds. On one just to the right, at quite a distance, I saw what looked to be Jesus. I was like a kid watching fireworks when I heard the voice of my own heart cry out, 'So, Lord! Is this what it will look like when you return!?" 

After 'The Mass Had Ended' I shared about some of these events with my friend who made the observation that the bell for the christian is like the shofar to the chosen people. 

Calendar Days tied to Luminous God Events 


The shofar is sounded at designated feast times and to call the people of Israel to prayer and repentance. In fact last week was the Feast of Trumpets with Rosh Hashanah the Jewish New Year, On the 13th there was a partial solar eclipse as the appetizer for the full blood moon lunar eclipse coming on the start of the feast of tabernacles the September 28th.  Much like the luminous signs and wonders predicted by the Prophet Joel and preached on by Peter on the Day of Pentecost. Today we are in the midst of the the Ten Days of Awe - a time for Israel's Prayer and Repentance to be completed on the highest holy day of the year Yom Kippur 'The Day of Atonement' on September 23rd! All the sins of Israel would be atoned for by the presentation of the sacrificial blood of the lamb on this day in old testament times. 

It occurred to me that, like Israel and the Shofar, both my wife and I had encountered bells today at separate times. She heard them and I saw one. I felt like I had just finished circuit training at Planet Fitness. My body was literally trembling at the 'awe' I had been experiencing to this point. The tears of joy continue to dance in my eyes. 


There is more but now i return to the steps of my evening prayer walk with Mary, my prayer partner, Mother and Queen.   

Did you ever notice that luminescence coincides with the revelation of Gods glory. Jesus is the light that has no shadows. He leads us through the shadows of this life to encounter his glory at every turn. I repeated the servant Mary's song and prayerful meditations on tonight's sorrowful mysteries. the light of Jesus illumines our hearts and minds during communion and prayer. He lights up the scriptures associated with the mysteries in the blood-stained-glass-windows of our  hearts and I am quickened. like the rain that fell earlier, all day long I was pelted with one ray of the light of His glory after another. Visions of rapture were bursting all day long and then came the final crescendo of His luminous glory. 

I turned to complete my 4th and 5th decade, still at the point of tears and i looked up. The Holy Spirit began to open my eyes to a wonder in the skies I will never forget. About 15 degrees above the horizon I saw a quarter moon gleaming down upon me. It looked like the belly of Mary ready to give birth. "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus!" It was about the time of my 33rd "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now... and at the hour of our death. amen." that I noticed that her womb was illuminated! Not only the light of Christ from within but also an evening reflection of the Son which had long since journeyed to the other side of the planet. 

"Out of your belly (in the Greek it translates 'womb') shall flow rivers of living water." The womb also typifies confirmation of the Gospel by the revelation of mercy. I was looking at God's Mother swollen womb of mercy illuminated by the Light of Christ within her and sharing His reflection in the same sky. The moon visible and the sun concealed from my view. 

Then I was led to look again and as I looked straight up i saw an amazing 'triangle' of bright stars. It was huge and formed three points of an arrow. like the Trinity, (click on the center picture) and guess where the arrow pointed? They pointed directly to (the moon) like Mary's illuminated belly on the horizon! As I completed the Rosary i prayed and danced in the vacant parking lot at the end of our neighborhood drive while praying in a loud voice, "Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost! As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end, amen! Oh My Jesus, forgive us our sins! Mary Queen of peace pray for us! Hail, Holy Queen!" 

The day broke open with the Morningstar arising in our hearts at the Lord's Table as we received His broken body and poured out blood. The first broken flesh and blood poured out for our redemption was from the body of His Mother Mary, selected by the Father, giving birth to the Word made flesh in Bethlehem.  Then it was on Calvary's Cross, where she continued beneath Him. She watched as the Centurion's spear lanced the release of the flood-tide of our full redemption. 

The day continued like a youngster sitting at noontime, curbside, to see all the wonders of heaven parading as testimony to the reality of Heaven. There was a constant 'breaking through' from heaven's light to someone sitting prayerfully on earth.  It was during attendance at the lunchtime feast of God's glorious display of Agape love in the brick and mortar dedicated to him alone. 

He was in the midst of His people and I was allowed the privilege of joining them in the lunch room full of grace and truth. I had a front seat to see and hear and understand that this is the temporary railway that takes us to our final destination with no turning back. While exposed to my natural surroundings the curtain drew back for me to observe the reality of a super natural life like an opera filled with images of splendor. It was a noontime that I thought would catch me away into the clouds to be with Jesus forever!

Then evening came with as much persuasion of the glory of His illuminations as at day break and noontime. Now the blanket of His peace and joy came by joining Him and His Mother and a billions of saints in prayer. My eyes still streaming with hot tears of joy and my feet dancing in a dark, vacant, overgrown parking lot for I could see in His natural creation the new creation. In the natural He showed me the super natural. While breathing His vast supply of mercy on the earth He struck my heart with the lightening of His love and the Kiss of heaven's love. 

"He took the bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to them and their eyes were opened to recognize Him!" Luke 22 There is so much more He wants to share with us, show us and tell us about! Believers have full access, 'morning noon and night' by virtue of His presence at home, His house and in the skies above. Let us all deepen our Communion in His real presence at His Table, with His people on earth and in heaven and by observing His engineered phenomena in the our skies as a reflection of His signs and wonders.
