Many of My Children Who are Serving Me are Giving Glory to Themselves

At the Saturday night Vigil Mass Nancy saw the Risen Christ appear. Jesus appeared lifesized in a white tunic with loose fitting sleeves. He was in bright mystical light that was whiter than any white natural light.

Jesus has told Nancy to pay particular attention to the words being said at the moment He appears. At that moment Nancy heard the words from the beginning of the Mass: "Glory to God in the highest and peace to His people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship You, we give You thanks, we praise You for Your glory."

As these words were spoken, Jesus said, "All glory is for God alone. Many of My children who are serving Me are giving glory to themselves. Give glory to God alone."

Nancy saw Jesus move quickly across the wall behind the altar and merge with the priest. The image of Christ with the white robe blended with the priest.

During the Nicene Creed, Jesus appeared again in bright mystical light as everyone spoke the words: "... God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, ..."

Nancy saw an image of an old man with a white beard appear to the left of the altar near the ceiling. The image looked similar to that of God the Father. This image disappeared and an image of a man in a white robe appeared.

As the priest raised the chalice at the Consecration, it burst in great white, mystical light. At the moment the priest lowered the chalice and rested it upon the altar, there appeared a mystical chalice of white light and a large angel appeared behind the altar. The angel and chalice moved upward to the area where the old man and Risen Christ had previously appeared.

The chalice then descended. When this chalice in mystical light was perpendicular to and beside the chalice on the altar, it vanished. At the same moment, the chalice on the altar burst into mystical light as the priest began to raise the chalice and said, "Through Him, with Him, and in Him, in unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is Yours almighty Father, for ever and ever. Amen."

On February 13th following the monthly apparition, Nancy spoke to the pilgrims about the vision she saw of the chalice and the angel at Mass:

"What did the angel do? The angel carried that Holy Sacrifice to the Father. I saw an angel! I saw the luminous chalice in light go upward! And then it was brought back down. What should we be doing at that moment? We should be joining in that sacrifice, offering ourself completely to God, through Christ, in Christ, with Christ, to the Father. Then we are in union; then we are giving glory to God.

"You see, the Holy Sacrifice was brought to the Father. This is a perfect adoration, perfect reparation, perfect sacrifice being offered to the Father. But there is more being asked of us. We are to partake of this. In order for us to really give glory to God, we must offer our sacrifice completely and totally through Christ, in Christ, and with Christ, to the Father. You see, our glory is selfless love and sacrifice, not just praise and thanksgiving alone.

"So Our Lord today is inviting you to reflect upon the word 'Glory' and give your life, all the crosses that you carry, all your suffering, everything, totally, completely through Jesus, in Jesus, with Jesus in unity with the Father, in unity with the Holy Spirit, in unity with the Triune God."

Nancy's vision at Mass reminded George of the following three reflections on the Mass. The first two are from pages 100 and 101 of the book "Through the Year with Fulton Sheen" published by Servant Books of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The third reflection is from pages 401 to 403 of "My Daily Bread" [see Bibliography]:

First: A Memorial of His Death

Our blessed Lord's last meal is more than a meal. It is a memorial of His death. He used bread and wine because these were the two substances which traditionally nourished man. In using bread and wine He was therefore using a symbol of ourselves. He now prepares the new passover. The old Passover was to celebrate the Jews leaving their bondage in Egypt and coming into the promised land. The new covenant, the new exodus, the new passover, is passing from sin to union with God through Christ. Our Lord then says, "I am going to give you a memorial of My death." He then symbolized for them His death by the separate consecration of His bread and wine. He said first, "This is My body." Over the wine He said, "This is My blood," not "this symbolizes." This is. That separate consecration of bread and wine was like tearing apart of blood from body, which is the way He would die on the cross the next day. And then He said, "Do this in memory of Me." Every time we assist at Mass we are watching the renewal of the death of Christ and incorporating our own death into His. That is the meaning of the Eucharist.

Second: Why don't the young get anything out of Mass?

Our young people are saying, "I don't want to go to Mass. I don't get anything out of Mass." Of course they don't. They don't bring anything to it. You don't get anything out of the Louvre unless you know something about art. You don't get anything out of a visit to Europe unless you know something about history. You don't get anything out of an opera unless you know something about music. What are we teaching our young people? Doctrine, doctrine, doctrine, not sacrifice or discipline? We need to tell them to bring something here. Bring a sacrifice, bring a commitment. Give up some of your time, give up some of your drink, then you'll be able to bring something more to the altar than just simply bringing up bread and wine. Begin to bring yourselves.

Third: Self-Oblation Through the Mass

Christ: "My child, every moment of My earthly life was an act of self-oblation. As man I had a human will, and as God I have My divine Will, which I possess in unity with My heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. As a victim for your sins, I submitted My human will to the divine Will. By My obedience and self-sacrifice I made reparation for your sins, opened the gates of Heaven to you, and earned the graces which you need in order to enter eternal life.

"On the cross I hung in agony, the perfect victim for sin. By My self-sacrifice the divine justice was completely satisfied. As man I represented all men, and as God I was worthy to blot out the offense which sin hurled at the Holy Trinity.

"I instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to remind you of My self-oblation upon Calvary. In it I continue the work which I began upon Calvary. In each Mass My body and blood are offered to My Father as an act of perfect adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and petition for your needs. As I once represented you upon the cross, so, now in each Mass, do I represent you upon the altar. As the Mass is Mine because I am the victim and the high-priest in it, so, too, is it yours because it was instituted entirely for your salvation.

"In each Mass I am still performing My supreme act of love for you. I am there for your sake, doing what you yourself should be doing; namely, begging pardon for your sins, adoring the Divine Majesty, thanking My heavenly Father for His numberless gifts, and asking for your daily needs. You should be devoted to Me in the Mass, because in the Mass I show once again My devotedness to you.

"Your devotedness to Me will be proved most perfectly when you have learned to join your daily life to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Attend Mass as often as possible. Then go forth and prove your love for Me by transforming your daily life into your Mass for Me. In other words, as I offer Myself upon the altar for love of you, so should you offer yourself for love of Me in your daily occupations and activities. Thus there will be a close bond between My work for you and your daily work.

"This will make your daily life a perfect self-oblation. No longer will you seek what you like, at any price. For My sake you will guard your patience, your generosity, your confidence in Me, and your desire to please Me in all things. In your disappointments, difficulties, fears, failures, efforts, and labors, you will unite your will to Mine. You will seek to belong ever more perfectly to Me by practicing greater self control and mortification. As I offer My self to you in Holy Communion, so must you learn to make each act of yours an act of self-offering to Me."

Power of Prayer

At around 1:38 AM a friend of Nancy was telling her that for the past two weeks he has been working on a security code for a software program. At that moment, Nancy said that she saw a man with a white robe appear on the ceiling that she believes was Jesus. This happened three times as they were speaking. Nancy's friend had chills during these moments that Nancy saw Jesus. The friend started to explain to Nancy that for the past two weeks he had been praying and speaking to Jesus in the silence of his heart for help in this matter.

At around 1:41 AM while Nancy and her friend started to pray the Our Father in thanksgiving, Nancy saw a white light in the image of Jesus robe.

Confirmation to the power of prayer. Jesus hears every prayer, spoken or not spoken. He does not miss a single prayer.
