*Hello everyone,

I’m new here, my name is Nadine i’m 24 and from England 🙂

I have a question or two, that have long been troubling my mind. I’m not sure if this is the right place, but i’m sure at least one lovely person can offer their opinion/ideas/support. 😊

Since the age of 2 after many years of battling a serious illness, I had visions/outer body experiences/intuitive feelings/premonitions/and spiritual sightings.
I was different from many other children, and at the age of 8 I had an overwhelming urge to visit Lourdes, and somehow just felt right at home.

At the age of 11, at my nearby church in a very small village, I was sat in there after feeling hopeless (many negative things happening in my life) Upon walking out, I looked up at a Religious painting on the wall, above a font. I saw a large, single teardrop fall from a Lady in the painting, and drop into the font - I even heard the sound, but when I ran over and looked into the font, there was nothing there.

My mother believes I was put here ‘for a reason’ as so far my life has been selflessly devoted to helping others, I never really care about myself. I feel very lost in my life, and yet I feel i’m supposed to do something. Please give any direction?..

Thankyou so much :)*
 
My question is, why not you?

The amount of personal revelation our God has given His children is staggering. You are not alone in having a mystical experience. That is not to belittle it or make it out to be unimportant–quite the opposite. But the fact is, God does try to communicate with us. Our Lady communicates with us. And some have experiences that others perhaps could not explain. The only answer for you is to pray. Pray without ceasing. Pray that you can be worthy and humble and strong enough to fulfill whatever call He is giving. :signofcross:
 
I am sure God has a plan for you. He has a plan for us all none of us where accidents in Gods eyes. Try praying the rosary and also try taking with a priest. I am sure all people think they are on this earth for a reason.
 
I have never had “Mystical” experiences but find them facinating. I have read most of St. Faustina’s diary. I believe she would say to find a good confessor to talk about these things to. Pray for Jesus to bring you a spiritual advisor and confessor. St Faustina went through a few priests before finding Fr. Sopoko

This is great advice. I second the suggestion to read St. Faustina’s diary and to work with a confessor regarding these things. 👍
 
KEEP A JOURNAL!

Sorry to shout, but keeping a journal is of the utmost importance.

And find a spiritual director.

Revelations aren’t supposed to introduce anything new (doctrines, etc). They only build on what Holy Mother Church has already declared to be truth.

Don’t be surprised if you are told to ignore them. Don’t read other people’s private revelations, either. St Faustina is the only one I would recommend.

Blessings,
Cloisters
 
Anything can happen to anybody; it’s you who has to make sense of the events.

Your openess to the Holy Spirit has led you to have some mystical experiences. Do keep a journal, God will teach you over time, possibly years, what it means.

We are born into a war zone. satan battals against the Grace of God for our souls. Living among such sin is difficult. Your soul is tender due to the loving action of the Holy Spirit, which means you may experience more grief at the state of our world. Feeling “lost in this life” is normal for one made to live in Heaven in perfect unity/peace/love with God, and neighbor.

Yes, you are supposed to do something! Each of us is called to do our part. I used to feel great anxiety about this at times. Now I realize, I just need to live each day open to God’s leading. It is that simple. Today is all we have. Live today for God.

I too have gifts from God that most consider, uncommon, or disbelieve even are possible. I don’t share with many about it, because they are “not ready” to understand. Yet, God uses me… Gives me words, simple words, but just the right words at times…that break down the walls of resistence to God. Be at Peace. Be at Peace. Be at Peace.
 
You, because god has given everybody a spiritual journey that has a place in the world. You may be blessed with favor from the holy mother because you are a choice person to spread her message and do her will in this world. It is not a curse, it is a blessing.god gave me the gift of art, and for some reason i am very good at religious art. Alway have. I beliebve god gave me my gift of art to glorify god, one time, i was seriously questioning my faith, i went for a walk, and idecided that unless i got a sign, i didnt believe in god. And right when that happened, i looked down, and saw a gold crucifix on the floor. I believe that this was god saving my faith
 
Hello Nadine,

God doesn’t chose the worthy. His choice does not depend on our merits. He chooses because He is of infinite wisdom, and because he employs our littleness to make His omnipotence shine bright.

Are you a member of the Catholic Church? From what you mention, I’d think so, however I noticed your religion says: “spiritual”, and that can mean many things. Based on the experience of the many mystics of the Church, the first advice would be: speak to a priest about these matters, for they require spiritual direction, and only the Catholic Church has the authority and experience to give it. A spiritual director can help you very much understand what is going on, and when the good Lord intends to accomplish something through His little ones, He ordinarily asks them or inspires them to seek the guidance of His anointed ministers.

May Our Lady keep you always in Her Immaculate Heart.
 
After seeing Linda Santo tell the story about her daughter, Little Audrey Santo on EWTN, I visited her Chapel and sat for adoration in front of one of the bleeding hosts she was allowed to keep. It was a moving experience to see more than one statue of Our Blessed Mother bleeding from her eyes and other statues dripping oil. Her mother Linda brought me into Little Audrey’s bedroom and showed me the Tabernacle that started leaking blood one day when Little Audrey was still alive. I left a prayer intention in her bedroom for a friend diagnosed with cancer. Her mother gave me some Rosary beads that had been blessed in her bedroom and I cherish them.

The date was June 13th and after I had returned home, I kept thinking that date rung a bell and sure enough it hit me, that is the date of Our Blessed Mother’s second apparition at Fatima. But…more than that, it’s also the date that Our Blessed Mother came to ask for the consecration of Russia on June 13, 1929. From my favorite Rosary website…

"As Our Lady said at the apparition of 13 July 1917, “I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia”. She did this on 13 June 1929, when She appeared to Lucy in the Chapel of Dorotheas, in the town of Tuy. Lucy said: "I had sought and obtained permission from my superiors and confessor to make a Holy Hour from eleven o’clock until midnight, every Thursday to Friday night. Being alone one night, I knelt near the altar rails in the middle of the chapel and, prostrate, I prayed the prayers of the Angel. Feeling tired, I then stood up and continued to say the prayers with my arms in the form of a cross. The only light was that of the sanctuary lamp. Suddenly the whole chapel was illumined by a supernatural light, and above the altar appeared a cross of light, reaching to the ceiling. In a brighter light on the upper part of the cross, could be seen the face of a man and his body as far as the waist; upon his breast was a dove of light; nailed to the cross was the body of another man. A little below the waist, I could see a chalice and a large host suspended in the air, on to which drops of blood were falling from the face of Jesus Crucified and from the wound in His side. These drops ran down on to the host and fell into the challice. Beneath the right arm of the cross was Our Lady and in her hand was her Immaculate Heart. (it was Our Lady of Fatima, with her Immaculate Heart in her left hand, without sword or roses, but with a crown of thorns and flames). Under the left arm of the cross, large letters, -as if of crystal clear water which ran down upon the altar, formed these words: “Grace and Mercy”. I understood that it was the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity which was shown to me, and I received lights about this mystery which I am not permitted to reveal. Our Lady then said to me: “The moment has come in which God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the Bishops of the world, to make the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. There are so many souls whom the justice of God condemns for sins committed against me, that I have come to ask reparation: sacrifice yourself for this intention and pray.”

So there I was on June 13, 2012 in Little Audrey’s Chapel at adoration, praying in front of a host on which drops of blood had appeared.

Thank you all so far, for your kind answers 🙂 Forgive my naivety now, but I have a further question or so.

So far in my short lifetime, it has been tainted with much sadness and heartache. As much as I have tried to be a good person, and also saved several people I love from wanting to take their life, my own life has felt completely lost. As I write this now tears fall down my face. I try to use my gifts of being intuitive to the best of my ability, but I don’t really understand how to use this, and how to develop it. My Grandmother took her own life when my mother was only 18, and this caused my mother’s life to forever be tainted with a sad loss. She always said that my birth and my love for her, saved her - that is the only reason that keeps me going sometimes…

I often have worries that maybe I did something wrong in a previous life, having had an out-of-body experience and knowledge as a child far beyond my years, I know I have definitely been here before.
Other’s have told me that the people who suffer most, often have the most kindest hearts and empathy. Please could someone clarify this, and why I feel so sad about the world, myself and lack of direction in life. I don’t know where to turn anymore, I feel I have all this energy and a gift, but no-where to turn.

Thankyou 😊

Young people are open to seeing and feeling things that you have experienced , most people lose that ability as they mature, I am one such person. its ok that it happened .
just believe that it’s ok and never loose your christian faith. because it confirms spirituality … just pray and give thanks to God
 
I am finding it quite odd, that after recently asking my questions and seeking some sort of guidance something has happened.

Only about 10 minutes ago I was reading various articles online regarding spirituality, intuition etc, and a group pass by putting posters through people’s doors. I knew instantly they were Jehovah’s Witnesses, and they posted through a small leaflet for a local event, to discuss the life of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and how he can help you.

Now, I come from a fairly non-religious family. My grandparents were all Catholics though, and my Mother was a Christian in her younger days, but through various events, lost her faith.

Should I take recieving this leaflet as a ‘sign’? I’m not sure who to trust in right now…

Thankyou all for your help and kind words 🙂
 
Ok, I need a little guidance on this question, please…

I sat reading through several articles online (earlier on at 12:14 afternoon) anything from Christianity, spiritual ability, the Convent I stayed at when I was 14 (for some reason, I was really drawn to being a Nun when I was a teenager, however never persued this as my feelings changed)

I then hear a noise at the door and go look, to find a small leaflet posted through the door by a passing group. It is inviting people to an event nearby, to discuss the life of Lord Jesus Christ, and what he can to help you in life.

Big coincidence? Perhaps I shouldn’t read so much into this… 🤷

There is no previous life. There was no existence on Earth for you prior to this one. Nobody can clarify why you feel so sad about the world. We simply can not answer this for you. You need to speak with a priest. Stay away from any other “spirituality” nonsense. It will only prey on your naivete and cause you grave harm.

I’d just like to say thank you to everyone who has posted on my questions so far, and offered their kind advice and guidance 🙂

However to the reply quoted above from Ophelia, I found that quite an arrogant response. I believe in each to their own, and letting people have their own beliefs; in my eyes to do otherwise shows a lack of compassion, and of intelligence. If you disagree, than you can offer your opinion and then it’s up to that person to decide…!

I have never said to anyone else, that a belief of their’s is ‘‘nonsense’’. And to categorically say ‘‘there is no previous life’’ is not a fact, merely an opinion 👍

In MY opinion, I believe there is. Purely due to me knowing things far beyond my years, and as a very young child have many premonition/out of body experiences, that later came true.

I’ll be wiping everything from my profile seeing as you can’t delete it, and i’ll no longer be using this forum.

However, a heartfelt thankyou to those who have answered kindly 🙂

I offer my most sincere apologies if you feel my response was arrogant. It was not intended as such. This is a Catholic forum, and the Catholic faith very strictly believes that reincarnations and past lives are simply untrue. Deceptions. I offer you all of my prayers.
