HOLY LOVE.

There is a place called HolyLove.

A refuge is a safe andloving place, much like amother’s arms.

Mary is also our Mother. Sheinvites us to Holy Love to giveus many graces from HerHeart. Mary’s Heart is HolyLove, and She teaches us tolove God most of all and tolove our neighbor as ourselves.

This means God is number onein our lives and it also meansto treat our neighbor as kindlyas we can. Even though it canbe hard at times.

Blessed Mother also tells us toalways trust in God with all our

hearts because the more wetrust Him, the more we loveHim, and that is very important.

When we come to the HolyLove property, we arepromised a second angel tohelp us through our livesand to help us stay close toJesus and Mary.

This is very special becausewhen we only had oneangel before, now we havetwo.

This new angel is ourspecial friend that helps usto live in Holy Love.

Also on the many acres ofHoly Love, there are fourlakes. They all have SpecialWater that is blessed fromHeaven. There is also aspring called “MaranathaSpring”. The word“Maranatha” means “Come,Lord Jesus.”

There is also a well with apump where you can pumpyour own Specially BlessedWater to take home withyou.

The first lake is the Lake ofTears.

It is shaped like a bigteardrop.

Our Lady says that this lakeis filled with Her tears. Sheis sad because of the manysins in the world. Make Herhappy with your love andprayers.

The next lake is the Lake ofAngels with a tiny chapelnext to it that has manystories inside from thepeople who have beenhealed by the SpecialWater.

The next lake is the Lake ofSt. Michael.

It is dedicated to Michaelthe Archangel, who is a verybrave angel. He fightsSatan, who is God’s enemy.

Then further back in theUnited Hearts Field is thequiet lake of St. Joseph.

A big statue of St. Josephstands close by, peacefullywatching.

There is another statue inthe United Hearts Field ofSt. Padre Pio.

He promises that if you stopand pray in front of him, hewill bless you with hisPriestly Blessing.

He shows you to the bigwhite Cross, which is theentrance to the Stations ofthe Cross inside the woods.

In the middle of the UnitedHearts Field there are twobig statues. One is of Jesusand the other of Mary.
