Have You Been Waiting Patiently in Faith and Praying?
During the monthly apparition, angels were present but barely visible. Nancy could not see the Blessed Mother as she normally would but she saw her in a shadow behind the statue of the Our Loving Mother. From what Jesus told her earlier, she knew the Blessed Mother was present but she could not see her clearly. Nancy got the sense that this was a teaching for the world in that the Blessed Mother is present and hidden from view. Nancy said, "They are testing our faith." When Nancy said, "Jesus, I trust in You," an image of someone who looked old and with a long beard appeared. The shadow of the Blessed Mother moved and immense light came into the room and the Blessed Mother appeared. It was the beginning of the Glorious Mysteries. The Blessed Mother said, "My dear children, have you been waiting patiently in faith and praying? At the end of the Glorious Mysteries, I will give the message for the United States. "My Son is giving a teaching for the United States and for the world. I remained hidden in the shadow." [There is light over the picture of the Immaculate Heart of Mary as well as the statue of Our Loving Mother.]
"I solemnly tell you, your faith will be greatly tested."
"My children are being tested today. My Son has told you ahead of time so you can tell others. "This is in preparation for the days ahead; I solemnly tell you, your faith will be greatly tested." [A beautiful crown appeared over the Blessed Mother's head. Nancy said that she was beautiful.] "More suffering will befall all of mankind if you continue to violate the law of God."
