Share Your Dreams and/or Visions

That could very well be.

 

I don’t know, Sam. Maria Simma was told by the holy souls that certain well known persons were already in heaven. I have to go back and check but I believe she mentioned that John F Kennedy had a quick ascent to heaven. That surprised me but who is privy to the hearts of men but God.

 

JFK made the Nine First Fridays in his lifetime. He also went to Confession before he was killed. I have heard this from sources I can’t quote now but I remember.

 

Fr Jim Blunt has said that. He knew the priest who had heard JFK's confession. The Catholic world got on their knees praying for him. I especially remember all the tears & prayers offered to God for his soul.

 

I think perhaps children's prayers have a special force before God because they are so innocent. I think also tend to have a mush stronger Faith than us older folk.

 

Perhaps that is one of the reasons why Jesus asks us to pray especially for this who, 'Despitefully use you' . To prayer for our enemies and those who hate us. Such prayers are powerful because there is nothing in it for us when we do so. It is as close to unconditional love as any of us can ever get in this life.

I have noticed in the past when praying for people who hate me that mountains really do get moving and miracles start happening. It is quite extraordinary.

Matthew 5:44

But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you,

The Desert Fathers used to say that we should rain coals of fire on our enemies and that these coals of fire are coals of charity, of forgiveness.

I notice during the Second World War in the Concentration Camps many reports of Christians praying for those who were killing them Quite incredible and supernatural.

 

From what the saints and visionaries tell us of Purgatory and Hell and Heaven it is full or surprises about who is there and who is not. It seems to be that very often the people we might least expect to see in heaven or hell wind up there.

It reminds me of the Scripture:


1 Samuel 16:7




7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

 

St Padre Pio said JFK was in heaven. It is quoted in a couple Biographies.

 

I had a very strange dream last night (Easter) only wake & learn Pope Francis has passed..
I'm guessing through a dating site (that was unclear, but definitely online) an Iranian prince was very interested & pursuing me. This line of dreaming continued throughout the night. Through sleep cycles, I was aware enough to assure myself, it was only a dream, yet ask myself are you sure.

Next thing I know, I wake upto learn the Pope has died.

After a very good family visit, with a few surprises from my sister, I got caught up praying the Divine Mercy Novena. My heart is always willing but I am definitely weak!

 

Padraig I agree. My mom and grandmother told me children's prayers hold more power with God. Not saying they were right but I remember them asking me to pray for them often when I was a child. Oh, the innocence

 

Yes Jesus talked about their angels standing in the Presence of God. He also warned us not to despise them. St Therese of Liseaux was asked by one of her sisters one time what she dreamed about. She said she always dreamed of meadows and flowers and bunny rabbits. I think she always remained a child.

Matthew 18:10

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

 

I had bad dreams last night, too. Nightmarish almost . . .of someone dying. It was a very strange and kept repeating itself. It was tormented if I could describe it. And then I woke up and my husband blurted out, The Pope Died. At first I wasn't understanding what he said . . .a very odd way to start the week

 

I didn't have a dream. But I awakened on Easter morning all bright and happy, only to hear in my head, for hours and hours on end the refrain
Father, into Your hands, I commend my spirit.
I honestly didn't know what to make of it. I thought it had to do with some sin on my part. But now I believe it was connected to the Pope. Perhaps he was saying his final prayers, or the angels or Holy Souls were praying for him and asking me to do the same.

 

I am having trouble remembering my dream overnight this past Saturday. I do want to share events leading up to it. For about a week and half before Easter, one of my oldest temptations that would lead to sin, thorns if you will, that I thought was dead and buried returned with a hellish fury. I couldn’t get rid of it. I would pray and pray and pray and it wouldn’t leave. It just grew stronger every day. On Good Friday I went to confession and discussed this with the priest. It was a good confession. After the stations of the cross and rest of the day I noticed the temptation was subsiding.

On Holy Saturday I thanked God again for helping me with the old thorn, blessed our whole home with exorcised salt and holy water (daughter was afraid and had some bad dreams so realized I had not had our new home blessed with salt and holy water) and even asked God to remove the demon attached to me who has been messing with me all week and even ingested some salt as well.

That night I had a dream. My Grandmother, Great Uncle her brother who was a Marine in WWII in the Pacific and I think even my daughter, Leah, who passed in 2006, all appeared in the dream. I don’t remember any specific details any more other than there was a spiritual issue and my grandmother and daughter were concerned and my Uncle took care of it. Now I have had numerous dreams of my Grandmother I have mentioned many times on here where she has come from heaven. I was recently talking with my mother how Uncle never comes but he has to my mom and my aunt. Having him come to this one and handle whatever he handled was wonderful. I guess even in the afterlife, hell shouldn’t mess with a marine!

 

I have had a stressful Lent. Filled with remorse over past sins. St Therese suffered from this, it’s called scruples. I’m sure it is a method of Satan to wear you down. Hold fast, keep the Faith and cover yourself with the blood of Jesus. He will get you through this. When Easter arrived I felt a huge relief!

 

Oh another thing. My Dad was a Marine in WWII. In the battle of Iwo Jima. He was there for 17 days and was wounded. He said it was 17 days of hell. He got a Purple Heart. He was a really tough Irishman!

 

I love this.

 

Wow. That's impressive Katfalls.

 

Me too. The same. And I too felt a lifting Easter morning.

 

My Spiritual Director one time asked me why I was not concerned in the least bit at my terrible deeds in the past which included killing various people and doing even worse things if they may be imangined but I did.

I quoted from Isaiah, Even is your sins be red as scarlet I will make them white as snow.

I took God at his word. I really do believe these things are gone.

On the other had some of the consequencess remain, its not a magical wipe off but still
