She came to me while I was sitting in a church. She spoke to me through an inner voice and told me that my sin was easily forgivable but not to sin again.

What a beautiful experience. I thank you for sharing.
 
Two years ago, I was volunteering with a few organizations, working long hours and babysitting for my grandson. Physically I could take no more. I reached out to Mary, asking her to help me balance my life and spend time in the path Her Son wanted me to take.

I prayed quite a long time over this. One night, I had a dream that I was laying in the grass next to a stream. There was a lovely bubbling sound, from water flowing out of a large pipe that ran under a bridge on the road above. I was watching horse drawn buggies and cars going over the bridge and down the road, thinking how odd that they all seemed to go the same speed, the horses keeping up with the cars, but not seeming to be in a full run.

Then it dawned on me that I was laying there in full view and no one seemed to notice me as they drove by. Suddenly I saw, felt, heard and was overcome by only what I can describe as joyful noise coming out of the pipe. It engulfed me in light and warmth and it was if the noise became a part of me. I knew immediately it was a gift from Mother Mary. I was made to understand that It was not a sign, but a gift from her. I did not see her, but felt her love in this gift for me.

A few weeks later, I visited a horse rescue I had been working with on facebook. It was my first visit there. As we toured the grounds, I told the woman about my dream. She looked shocked and led me to the hill on the other side of her home. There it was. The stream, the pipe, the bridge. It was then she told me the Amish frequently traveled that road in horse & buggy. She shared with me that her favorite horse had broken through the fence there by the stream and was killed up on the road, just by the bridge.

Now what all this meant, I tried for a year to interpret. Did Mary want me to work more with these people and leave the other organizations? Was this a vision? I still do not know, but I no longer question it. What I have realized is the woman at the rescue has on many occasion told me how I have helped her just by being a sounding board, an encouragement to keep things going. I created a FB page for her and website as a donation. She has since gotten more publicity and supporters.

I’m starting to believe that Mary simply wanted me in this woman’s life to help this woman find the encouragement she needed to continue her efforts. She uses the rescue horses to allow children who cannot afford or keep a horse and kids that are maybe in trouble join 4-H with a horse project.

Dream, vision, real or not…I believe Mary gave me a gift to let me know she loves me and is there. She simply wanted me to share that message with this woman and now I share it here too.
 
I’d like to believe she has I was first truely introduced to her from an ex-friend of mine. I was shown the rosary that the women had with the white felt cross on it and I was instantly drawn to it. I got to touch the rosary and felt pure power since then I have wanted one of my own. Plus the women hung it up by her bed at the shelter and I felt peace whenever I was near it like it was safe almost. The rosary felt calming to me just being there like that. She also hung it in our shared locker again I felt awe and calm whenever I saw it. I had been looking for a way to follow God and believe in a mother figure. Because ever since I was little I have believed in a female side of God and my parents told me there wasn’t one so I faded away from God and took to the Pagan religion for its rituals and female figure. I then felt God wouldn’t welcome me back and then came the women with the Rosary who told me her beliefs that Mary was Our Mother and Mother of God plus her dedication to praying two hours a night on that rosary made me feel even more drawn to God and to the Mother Mary. I’d like to think it was the Mother Mary who said, “I love you, baby” to me during a goodbye hug. Because I felt how could anyone love me? I’ve committed so many sins while worshipping under the pagan ways because the pagans just have karma as punishment alone. I felt unworthy to be loved and everything else. Of course still having my foot in two places being barely christain at the time and not yet accepting jesus into heart, and having trouble getting rid of old beliefs I fell for the women and I think God reminded me through her reply on fb to me about ‘me loving her’ that it was okay to be her friend, but not to love her. I think that was God trying to pull me from temptation and my issues with obsessing over those I think I love.

God may not have a gender, though is referred to as a Father figure, Mary is the maternal side of God, in a way. Mary will always lead us to her Son, for she is the Mother of God and mother to all of God’s children. She is a great advocate for us before God. She always hears and answers the prayers of those who ask for her assistance. Loving her will lead you to Love her Son, and through the Son, God the Father as well.

I’m a college student and am currently in a women studies class and in one of the readings I had to read for the class said something along the lines that Mary became our “intermediary to God rather than a goddess in her own right” (Freedman 22) in the book No Turning Back. Mary is very powerful but is one thing short of being a “goddess”, she is not divine and nor does she think her self as such. In all that she does, it is to lead us to her Son and to Glorify God. God exalted her above all others and made her the most powerful, second only to God himself, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. When she appeared to the native in Guadalupe she said and proved to the native people that she was more powerful than any of their pagan gods. She is the weapon of God against the Devil and all evil.

I will pray for the continuation of your conversion. God Bless.

I believe the Holy Mother wants you to know your work with horses are meaningful and see Amish simple life style as good symbol because they go same speed on the road.
 
I saw Holy Mother many times at Conyers apparition site. She has many stars on her crown. On good Friday, the Holy Mother appears in bright gold. She spoke or appeared to me occasionally to give guidance when I were in most need. Once she gave me a beet root to heal my heart; etc.

Thanks my Holy Mother Mary.
Sometimes, I really want to comeback Conyers and retire there.
 
All of these stories are so beautiful thank you for sharing them.

My Lady, My Queen, and My Mother I am so sorry for my sins and wrong doings against your most Precious Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Please Pray for me, My Lady, My Queen, and My Mother. Please Pray for us all. Amen.

Mary appeared to me when I was five years old with life threatening double pneumonia. She told me about my life, she warned me, she told me I would have a broken heart and that God would never leave me to battle alone. Other things were said also, all of which came true. I validated this experience with my earthly mother when I was in my 50s. She told me she looked at me and thought I was dying and forcibly shook me. I said, “Leave me alone, I want to be with the lady”, and I remember saying that.
 
I had jesus appear to me in a dream, it felt so real, he was glowing white and navy blue background and had his hand out , it was very cool
 
She came to me during a time when I was going through the dark night of the soul. I saw her while my eyes were closed but I was fully awake. They was trying to destroy a demon that had been harassing me.

Wow. God Bless you.
 
I used to be a firefighter. I was not liking were i was at. When I took my national certification test for paramedic, 2 days before the test I remember having prayed to God and telling him, you know I don’t like my job but I do want to be a Paramedic. When I got my results I had failed. At that moment I got my stuff and resigned. Around 2 wks later give or take, I had a dream and the Virgin mother told me your going to pass that test, I remember that in the dream I had my head down sitting down and ppl were pointing at me and laughing. I remember her telling me, your going to pass that test i, trust me. I re-took the test on December 10th, and passed. I was extremely happy and i knew that it was our Mother’s intercession that guided me across the finish line. On december 12th, i went early to Church around 4am, to sing her the mananitas and hear mass.

Congrats. That’s wonderful. God Bless.
 
I have never “known” Mary since I was never raised catholic nor am I fully catholic now. However I cannot discount what has happened nor deny her interaction in our lives.

Before I explain let me repeat what an early poster said, and saint John of the cross believed. That is to not seek out an apparition, in fact do your best to ignore it, and to what Ignatius believed. That is to consider the prior events, and prefer the event that occurred without precedence.

I have, in my lifetime, been plagued by a certain demon. Not possessed or obsessed. We all have our own. Mine however is specific and known to me, and manifests it self clearly in my dreams. It is a beast, hairy, ravenous, and malevolent and it proceeds from it’s own realm of sin, which is my weakness as we are all given.

All the dreams were of a simple day in a normal life until I came across it’s realm of influence. At which point the beast would emerge from that gate of sin to devour me. At this particular time I was running from the creature through a field at night. I saw a small light ahead of me and ran for it. As I got closer I saw a woman, her head was covered and she wore something like robes. She was dressed like an angel. Around her was light and a clear barrier. She called to me and I passed through the barrier and the demon could not enter it. She turned to the demon and crushed it upon itself with tremendous power.

It was crushed inward, ripped apart, blood and flesh, and crushed into a single point. It was a horrifying sight, and disturbed me for days. For me the demon was gone for years since that instance. But my great sin was my pity for that evil. I was Lots wife and had mercy on evil. My pity allowed a small bit to remain, grow, and return.

The woman never spoke, and she was no angel that was clear to me. Her power overwhelmed me for days, more than any dream could. As a protestant I have no female of that power in my book of theology. I had neither considered Her or thought of Her. I can only believe it was Her.

Moses and Elijah are not asleep, and I don’t believe she is either. There is the Latter moving about this world I am certain. I still do not know Her but I believe she moves.
