Yes, in a dream when I was in high school. I must have been about 15 or 16.

I attend a small, all girls’ Catholic academy that had a chapel. In the dream, I was in trouble with the principal and trying to get away from her. I ran into the chapel and Our Lady was there holding the Christ Child in Her arms behind the altar rail. I knelt down and She bent over to give me Our Lord to hold. That is all I remember.

I have also had dreams about St. Therese, Padre Pio, St. Frances Cabrini and St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. The dream about St. Therese also was when I was in high school. The last three were within the past ten years.

Wow. How wonderful.
 
Thank you and God bless you for sharing all your stories about Our Most Holy Blessed Mother Mary.

What a beautiful way to honor Mary in the month of May.

Semangelof- What an incredible story I’ll keep you in my Prayers. It reminds me of the attached photo of Our Blessed Mother

Semangelof, you can ask for the intercession of Mary, St. Michael the Archangel, and St. Benedict.

Remember, Blessed Mother is everyone’s Mother she is not just Mother to Catholic’s and that goes for the Saints too.
 
Yes. A few hours ago is the most recent!

My first time was while praying in front of her statue in the Church building, and she smiled at me.

The second time was tonight. As I was entering the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel tonight I saw two women praying in the Chapel. I didn’t think anything of it, other than it was nice that there was more than 1 person praying. I had glanced them both out of the corner of my eye as I stopped at the bookshelf to pick up the devotions for my Rosary. Upon entering, only one woman was present. One was missing, and there was no way she could have left! During my prayer of the Rosary, I asked if I should share that with the other woman who was praying. Clearly, I was given a YES. The 2nd woman appeared to have been dressed in white; it could have been a saint or an angel, but I believe it was Mary, as did my new friend.
Mary was there for my new friend KH, and I was blessed enough to be a part of it.

I never had a vision of the Holy Mother, however I have had her show her presence in my life.

I finished praying my daily Rosary last week Friday, and immediately after I finished a bee flew into my hair. Normally I panic and I will swat at a bee, but something was different about this bee. I ended up catching it and releasing it outside. Later that night there was another bee buzzing about my head while doing laundry, again I caught it and released it. My son also mentioned a bee in our living room that same morning. My thought was the Holy Trinity and the three bees are a symbol of Our Lady due to their virginal nature. It was affirmation my petition was being heard and being worked on.
 
God bless you for sharing this ccmcmg it just goes to show that Our Blessed Mother is still with us even in this present day.

Blessedtwice, what a wonderful story knowing me I would have freaked out because I have a fear of bees, wasps, hornets, or any type of stinging insects.:o However, I’m getting better 'least I think I am whenever I see a bee my heart feels like it jolts but I thank Our Lord for creating the bee and I’m starting to “see” the bee in a different light more useful

Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of the most Holy Rosary, Pray for us. Amen.
 
It is very encouraging reading each person’s response here.

I’ve been a Christian for a long time, and I became Catholic in 2006. However before that I believe Jesus was indeed reaching out to me through Mary. One night I was praying in bed, sitting up in the dark. I became aware of the presence of a female figure sitting at the foot of my bed. I have had things like this happen before, and they were not always good things! So I prayed and asked God to protect me, and that if this presence was evil to please make it leave. Instead I was given the impression very clearly that this was a holy presence. I wondered if this was Mary. It was a very calm, comforting presence.

About a year ago, I was praying and asking Jesus to forgive me for something. I was just feeling overwhelmed with my sins. Usually I don’t feel afraid to go to Jesus, but this time I did, since I was so aware of my sinfulness. In my living room, as I prayed I knelt down and my face was near the floor. I kept asking Him for mercy. Then in spirit I saw Jesus’ feet and the bottom of His robe. After a moment I was surprised to see Mary walk up beside Him at His right. I could see the bottom of her robe, it was blue. I think I could see white also on either side of it. I knew it was Mary and immediately my fear was gone. I was so grateful. I didn’t see them with my physical eyes but it was very clear all the same.

When I was a new Christian, about 22 years old, I had a very strong desire to see Jesus. As I have gotten older and hopefully wiser, I don’t ask Him for that anymore. I know if He had given me what I thought I wanted at my younger age, it would have likely blown my life apart and would have also made me prideful. :ouch: If He does do things like this it is for a purpose, not just cause we think we want some kind of experience.

Amylisa that was beautiful and saying that we are given some kind of experience from God for a reason is so true. Sounds like you are very wise and hopefully you will find your reason if you have not already.

Peace and God Bless you and yours
 
I’ve read a number of stories, and will be back to read more. They’re touching and encouraging.

My 11 year old twins have ADHD and are on the edge of the autism spectrum. They’ve had a terrible time sitting still in church, and fight going to church weekly. It’s been a terrible trial, going to Mass every week with them objecting. 😦

Just a few days ago, one of them told me he thinks he saw Mary. I don’t know what to make of it. Although, come to think of it, Mass was very easy this past Sunday. It jumped out at me how peaceful they both were.
 
Thank you so much simple soul 🙂

holyrood, I just had to reply soon as I read your post. I am sure that it was indeed God that blessed you in the things you wrote!

My youngest son has autism and he has shown interest in Mary even when he was very little. One time I was looking at a picture of a statue of Mary, on the computer. My little boy came over and climbed up in my lap, then bent over and kissed her picture! And he said “Ma-wy” so sweetly. This really surprised me cause at that time I had not really said anything about Mary to him. I was not Catholic yet and we had no pictures, etc. of her in the house. He was about 3 years old at the time.

One thing that really moved me towards conversion was seeing The Passion Of The Christ back in 2004. The next year when it came out on DVD I bought one right away. I let my son see the happy parts of it. During the scene of Jesus building the table, He kisses Mary on the cheek. My son came over to me and kissed me on my cheek when he saw that…and he had never kissed me before! It meant a lot to me needless to say.

I believe that peace you noticed was truly from Mary to your children. I am so touched by what you wrote! I think She watches over our children with special needs with a special, guarding affection and motherly care. It would not surprise me at all if your son indeed saw her in some way.

Since I have opened up my Heart and Soul to God and Our Lady Mary Mother of Jesus more fully through praying The Holy Rosaries, both Jesus and Our Lady Mary Mother of Jesus communicate with me on a daily basis, just some of the most beautiful Divine Holy Messages and Signs given over the past few years;

. Pray and Fast, stay away from junk food, drink water, more water, offer up all of your Crosses to Jesus and I will help you. I love you and you can do these things “certain cooking tasks and Callings” for World causes. I am not stating what these are until all done.

. God’s Divine Holy Cross in a Beautiful Gold colour appeared one evening this Year as I was standing in the back yard looking up at the sky. I blinked, looked again, His Beautiful Gold Cross prominent in the sky! I thanked and praised Jesus and Our Lady Mary for His Most Divine Loving Sign given to me (I had prayed so many many Holy Rosaries during that fortnight for so many Causes) and I knew in my Heart, Soul and Mind that God and Mother Mary were thanking me!

It is incredible that a few weeks ago (months after this occurred) I came by a posting by chance on CA whereby another person (my Brother or Sister in Christ) mentioned a Gold Cross they had seen somewhere. I urge everyone of my Sisters and Brothers to pray The Holy Rosaries and all other Prayers as many times during each day as you are able for your Souls, your Family’s Souls and World Causes and The Holy Souls in Purgatory seeing for yourselves ALL of God’s Rewards through His Divine Love and Mercy that He has Chosen to give us all!

. This year every single thing I have prayed hard for in relation to Family Friends and World Causes has happened through God, The Holy Spirit and Jesus (O Holy Almighty Powerful One) and Mother Mary.

. I was educated through The Holy Spirit via Mother Mary to leave the riches behind, not work (as I have done for many years), that God will provide without working full-time (and He has), no bills, no financial pressures (and He has), to carry out His Callings I had prayed for some time ago, Praise and Thanks be to Thee Dear God our Heavenly Father now and for Eternity Amen and that all of my ‘daily bread’ is taken care of!

And all of these things including ‘my daily bread’ have been taken care of by God and Mother Mary over the past 18 months while I continue to carry out my Callings that God and Mother Mary have requested!

I love Thee, Praise and Thank Thee Dear God our Heavenly Father for all of Thy Blessings You have given to me during my Life and as a Child of Christ now and for Eternity Amen

. I have been told to pray for myself (previously I had focussed entirely on everyone throughout the World (and of course my family members and friends); now I am urged to pray for myself in relation to certain things at my age and asking for forgiveness on all of my past Life relationships with just about every person who has featured in my life and vice versa; for at least 12 months. Praise and Thanks be to Thee Dear Jesus Christ our Saviour and Mother Mary for Thy Divine Love and Mercy upon my Soul and upon all sinners’ Souls now and for Eternity.

. Two Willy Wag tails were sent to me (never before in the back yard over 20 plus years); the reason clear as crystal!

. I almost died a few nights ago; Jesus intervened and saved my Life, instructing me to visit the GP (in which I have this week) - Mother Mary informed me that morning in no uncertain terms! “Jesus saved you my Child”. I have re-located from that place and am now safe and healthier! I was minding a house and I have a severe allergy to mould in old houses. I had gone to sleep and was choking to death aspirating; had lost my breath. As I woke, coughing and spluttering (thought I was a gonna); Jesus was there beside me and got me up with Mother Mary’s words “Jesus saved you, go to your Doctor, this will happen again if you do not take this seriously”.

. I need to be careful so"it" cannot use my communications against me however I will tell you that Jesus and Our Lady Mary Mother of Jesus are here with us, particularly when we follow exactly what Jesus and Our Lady Mary Mother of Jesus instruct and advise us to do: Pray for The Holy Souls in Purgatory and World Causes and Peace, for our Families Friends and Others, Fast, attend Mass and Reconciliation and MOST of all; open up our Hearts fully to God and Mother Mary, believing, trusting and having FULL Confidence in Jesus and His Love and Power and Abilities to save our Souls Eternally through His Divine Love and Mercy and Change our Lives for the overall Good of our Souls!

. Without constant prayer and not refraining from the mediums of this world; Jesus cannot flow effectively, through His Divine Love and Mercy, His Healing or assistance in our Lives and the Lives of others, nor protect us sufficiently from ‘it’ satan’s temptations and destruction.

. A spider bit me (the first time in 50 years); oh so painful! I prayed and asked if Jesus and Mother Mary could take the pain away; within an hour the pain had vanished; no antihistamines or ice required! Normally with a bee sting (used to be allergic as a Child with dreadful swelling), it takes days to go down or any bite; I knew God would take the pain away as He has done for all of my injuries through my life within hours!

…and the answer to your Query is Yes…every day!

Through God’s Divine Love and Mercy and through Mother Mary’s Divine Love and Wisdom He has given me the choice to see Him and to see Mother Mary; provided I follow as many of Jesus and Our Lady Mary’s advice and instructions.
 
I don’t remember this, but my mom said when I was about 5 years old, I came inside after swinging on my swing set and said I had seen the Blessed Mother. But often, she appears to little children so I wouldn’t be surprised if it really did happen! 😃
 
Yes. This year I had two dreams of The Blessed Mother.
The first dream I was outside of a white tent. It was nighttime and I could see the stars.
The ground was sandy and behind the white tent there was a fire and I could
see a silhouette of a man kneeling and praising God.
He left the tent and to my right I saw a women dressed in white she had a long
white veil and long flowing dress. Her hands were in pray posture as she walked toward
The tent. She looked up at me to acknowledge me. I knew it was her. The Blessed mother.
she was strong yet meek her presence was overwhelming.
She walked into the tent and knelt by the fire to pray. I couldn’t understand her words
yet I knew she was praising God. Her words swirled around the room and I got caught
up in the praise.
I wanted to see her up close. So I approached the tent to pull back the opening so I
could see her face up close but just as I did that I awoke.

A few weeks ago I had another dream.
I was in my house and from the floor vent I could hear praying.
I recognized her voice from the previous dream.
I knew it was The Blessed Mother.
I went down stairs and I saw her she was in a room counsing a group of people.This time
she was in blue and white long flowing dress. As I entered the room she looked
up at me and smiled to acknowledge me. She was telling the group the importance of praying especially the rosary.

I was surprised to see this question.
I was wondering what these dreams meant.
Sometimes I feel the need to share them with people I know and meet.

Two years before I had these dreams my Dad was dying of cancer and I was praying
To St Theresa and the rosary faithfully and during that cold snowing and icy February
Rose grew out of my rosé bush in my backyard. I couldn’t believe it and called my
Mom who is a women of great faith. She said its your St Theresa the little Flower
giving you a sigh your prayers are being heard.
I took a picture of it and treasure it.
Theresa
 
No, she has not appeared to me. I had a dream once after my Grandfather died that was the closest thing I have experience though.
 
I wish she would. How do you ask Mary for her intercession. I really need her help and I feel that I am too dirty or to ugly spiritually to ask her intercession as I know she mainly appears to children. (being a kid has many many great benefits) but I need her intercession. I only hope she appears in my dreams. but not yet.

Just pray and talk to her. You are never ugly in her sight nor will she deny you for being dirty spiritually but rather it will bring her closer to you in her want to help you and bring you to her Son.
 
A “bump” to this thread (for which I apologize) as I wish to discuss a recent “presence” (for lack of a better term) I felt, which happened a few weeks ago.

It was at night, and I was preparing for bed; I was praying aspirations to Jesus (as well as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit) and Mary (i.e. asking for protection — from the enemy and from sin — as well as thanks for their presence in my life), and as I finished, I felt a strange pressure on my forehead — as if I had been kissed — and an image of Mary (appearing as something like this) appeared in my mind, and I felt great peace (as well as a floral scent, although that may have been my mind manufacturing a scent due to Mary’s image). I felt afraid at first (as I was afraid the image may have come from the enemy to dissuade me in my faith), but the following Sunday (I am unable to remember, but I believe it may have been the following day), I prayed privately to Mary (using the statue within the church as a representation of her), I thanked her if it indeed was her presence, and I’ve begun to feel as if I did feel her presence, as if she wanted me to know she is still “with me” (e.g. praying for me), despite my many sins (I admit, a great fear of mine is to be abandoned by Jesus, as well as Mary for my sins; I pray often to be sincere in my repentance, although occasionally I do fall into sin). I have felt great peace about my “visit” with Mary since.

A week (or so) later, I was watching television (in the same room I had been “visited” by Mary in), and I began to feel a great peace, as well as a “cherry” scent (I have always loved the scent of cherries), which gave me more peace. Within a few minutes, however, the “presence” was gone. The following Sunday, I, again, thanked Mary (privately) if indeed it was her presence (as well as if it was not, and coming from the enemy, for protection).

I apologize (again) for my bumping of the thread, but I wished to discuss my recent “visitations” from Mary (if they can even be called as such). God bless.
