Your Faith Will Be Greatly Tested in the Days Ahead ... Know That We Remain with You Always.
(January 7, 1996 - Feast of the Epiphany) Nancy was visiting the home of her friend who was to soon enter a convent. The woman was leaving a very highly paid job and successful business career in mid-life to follow a calling to be a nun. Nancy saw a statue of Our Lady of Grace become life-like and she called to another friend and George who were also visiting the woman. As both of them came into the room to join Nancy, the friend saw the statue glowing in mystical light and he said a prayer to the Holy Spirit and bound Satan in the Name of Jesus. He then saw the statue become lifelike and the Blessed Mother appeared. [On numerous occasions this friend has had mystical experiences in conjunction with Nancy.] The Blessed Mother said, "I come as Our Lady of Grace. Behold I pour forth my graces upon each of you. Remain ever faithful to my Son and to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, of which my Son is the head. "Little ones, your faith will be greatly tested in the days ahead. Fear not what you will face. "My children, great suffering is close at hand. Pray, pray, pray. "I love you with a mother's heart, in my Son. "Again I plead with you. Pray, pray, pray."
"Remain ever faithful to my Son and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, of which my Son is the head."
Nancy described the Blessed Mother as being very beautiful, having dark hair, wearing a white veil and surrounded with mystical light. The Blessed Mother turned to the woman who was to enter a convent and said, "[The woman's first name], thank you for accepting the call of my Son. Know that I am with you. Remember this day when you face the temptations that will befall you." The friend said, "Her eyes are open. She is looking at you with incredible love." Nancy cried as she saw what appeared to be a tear of blood come from the Blessed Mother's left eye. The Blessed Mother said, "Now it is time for me to depart. Know that we remain with you always. As you make the Sign of the Cross, I will depart. Remember to thank my Son for permitting me to come." Both Nancy and the friend saw the Blessed Mother ascend in a large, fluffy, luminous cloud. Later, as they reread the message, Nancy saw in a vision a man with a long beard appear three times.
