My Father passed away two years ago,he was a great simple religious man and wonderful father he took a massive heart attack two years previous to his death in fact he died and had to be revived, whilst he was recovering in hospital he became very agitated that no one was listening to him he kept shouting will you listen for God sake listen, when he got our attention he would say there is a great wave coming you need to be ready and he also said the next time the boat comes no body touch my feet..I knew what he meant about his feet because when he was taking the heart attack and the medics were working with him, I was holding his feet and possibly in some way trying to keep him from leaving this world ,As for the wave well we all thought it was him dreaming,,When he died he left this world on his own and he died in a whisper very peacefully, on the day he died I was sitting talking to my wife about how he had died and that I was angry at God for not giving me a sign, at that moment an advertisement came on the tv and it was a boat making its way to the shore the caption was bringing you back to you and the music was "I'll go wherever you may go" (full lyrics and tv ad video I will put below) my wife said immediately, John your dads talking to you are you blind..I was taken back by the music and song..well it seemed that every were I went or was feeling down that advert was in my face or the song was on the radio but there was one line in the song that I could not comprehend ( between the sand and stone you will find me) I spent the last two years trying to figure it out and if dad was trying to tell me something, in that line what was it ??? well today I have I found a poem called the sand and stone and it all makes sense now , you see growing up a few wee stupid things happened between me and dad I guess you call them life's hurts but I praise God for the wonderful healing that I have received today..Thank you Jesus, "love you always dad rest in peace" Sand and Stone! A story tells of two friends who were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE" They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE" The friend, who had slapped and saved him , asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, so no wind can ever erase it." LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BLESSINGS IN STONE. lyrics to the song (I'll go wherever you may go) So lately, been wondering Who will be there to take my place When I'm gone you'll need love To light the shadows on your face If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all Then between the sand and stone Could you make it on your own If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go And maybe, I'll find out A way to make it back someday To watch you, to guide you Through the darkest of your days If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all Then I hope there's someone out there Who can bring me back to you If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go Run away with my heart Run away with my hope Run away with my love I know now, just quite how My life and love might still go on In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time If I could, then I would I'll go wherever you will go Way up high or down low I'll go wherever you will go If I could turn back time I'll go wherever you will go If I could make you mine I'll go wherever you will go I'll go wherever you will go sing with me
Thanks for sharing. A beautiful stroy of life and love. "The Great Wave Coming" statement.............could it be prophetic statement to ready our soul, ready our physical life life the prophecy of Ralph Martin
Thanks fatima very striking.. the other strange part recently for me was the advert was changed they kept the song but changed the video to someone climbing a mountain I guess I have another mountain to climb
Quis ut Deus, Back in 2009, I shared a vision that had been received at a prayer meeting on June 11th. From what you shared above, I believe you placed your Dad's massive heart attack in 2009, also. Do you remember the date? Here's the text of the shared vision: Picture yourself at a windswept seashore. It is twilight and a ferocious storm is bearing down on the shore. The driving rain and pounding surf are sustained by wave after wave; like a wall of water each strikes the wearied beach. The Lord speaks: My precious children, you alone are the light of my countenance in a darkened world. Wave upon wave of polluted water pounds the shore of humanity, waves of deceit, of violence, of depravity, of greed, of oppression, of faithlessness, and even of persecution. The storm appears relentless and without end. But my Light shines in the darkness and the darkness shall not overcome it… Most people on the shore seek to wait out the storm. They fail to perceive the fierce battle in their midst. They hope for a veneer of normalcy that will never return. Others are beginning to be frightened and despair. But you my children know the truth: I reign in the heavens and on the earth! You must share the Light of the Gospel, whether they listen or not. You will be whipped by the wind and drenched by the rain. Your joy will be mocked in the midst of such discouragement. My Light shines in the darkness and the darkness shall not overcome it… You know my Love. You’ve experienced my Mercy. And for the sake of the lost I shall act. Even now the tsunami of my compassion is on the move. Far out beyond the painful deception of the storm it approaches, unseen below the surface. But it is real and it is Almighty. It comes! Through it I shall illumine each heart and reveal my Love. My Light shines in the darkness and the darkness shall not overcome it… Many will resist and the evil one will fight on in the night, but my wave of compassion will cleanse the earth and the lowly will see and rejoice. For you and your companions, for my Bride, the morning will come with the Light of my Glory. Be brave, therefore, and courageous. I reign in the heavens and on the earth. I am the Lord and I am with you! Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
Now that was special to recall that vision! Notice that one line: For you and your companions, for my Bride, the morning will come with the Light of my Glory. The title of the book many of us used for the recent Consecration to the Immaculate Heart was: 33 Days to Morning Glory. Maranatha! Bring about the Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart, dear Savior! Alleluia! Safe in the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart!
I remember the exact date it was July 13th as it was the day after my sons birthday, dad spent several weeks in hospital that year his first two weeks were in a controlled coma after his heart failure, it was when he came round he started to talk and talk about the wave and the boat,,it really did startle us because dad was quietly religious and never talked about end of times or apparitions, I remember talking to him about mount melleray and medjugore ,his only reply was "is it not quite expensive travelling to these places" I said it was but worth it if Our Lady would appear he just laughed and said " I can see Our Lady if I want too all I have to do is close my eyes" closing his eyes he said "oh look there she is" as I was walking away in a bit of a huff he said "By the way if I wanted to see Jesus" I interrupted him "what you close your eyes ??" No he said giggling to himself " I walk to the chapel he is alive and well in the tabernacle" "keep it simple son don't go too deep"... fantastic vision btw Mario..
beautiful reflections...thanks for posting Marion and QuD! I am amazed at how long ago visions are received by people for events that are still in our future. Mario's vision was 2 years ago. The future of the US thread was started in May of 2010 based on icons received in prayer by Padraig. We are just now really starting to see concrete evidence of those icons happening (with all the scandals). It truly does show that God's time is not our time, and He gives us plenty of warning (if we are listening) for what is to come, as the spiritual prep for all this is huge!
looks like I have found my mountain to climb ,, Strangely enough I climbed it a few years back for the very same reason to keep Ireland abortion free..I would like to invite any other men on here who would like to join me if I get enough we could arrange transport and maybe an over night stay in Knock let me know what you think or send me a message..Thanks John..

Hi all I just thought I would update this thread with my new video, I just felt it was appropriate to share this to make it personal,I just feel when you can see a photo of someone you can relate to their story please pray for my dad (Pat) or indeed pray to him as I do believe he is a saint now (50 years service in SVP) I think speaks for itself.
Slán go fóill... I am heading to Knock in the morning and then on to climb Croagh patrick on Sunday,,,You will all be in my thoughts and prayers and I will light a wee candle or two for all of us..God Bless and keep me in your prayers that I safely make the mountain..John
What a beautiful tribute to your dad! I love the music and especially the lyrics. Hope all goes well on your climb. I think it will be a very hot day. Mary
Thank you John--that was beautiful. We are so privileged to hear these stories and have this forum.May you have a wonderful day and bring down many graces from God to support for Life and Families.! Your efforts are inspiring!
