nations.”• “HolyLoveisGod’sDivineWill.”
“RealizethatonlyevilwouldbeopposedtoHolyLove.”(Jesus – November 8, 2010)
The Two Great CommandmentsWhenthePhariseesheardthatJesushadsilencedtheSadducees,
theyassembled inabody;andoneof them,a lawyer, inanattempt totripHimup,askedHim,“Teacher,whichcommandmentofthelawisthegreatest?”
Jesussaidtohim,“YoushalllovetheLordyourGodwithyourwholeheart,withyourwholesoul,andwithallyourmind.Thisisthegreatestandfirstcommandment.Thesecondislikeit:Youshallloveyourneighborasyourself.Onthesetwocommandmentsthewholelawisbased,andtheprophetsaswell.”(Matthew 22:34-40)

virtueoflove.HolyLoveis,asyouknow,theTwoGreatCommandments:loveGodaboveallelseandyourneighborasyourself.ItistheembraceofallTenCommandments.HolyLoveistheImmaculateHeartofMyMother.ItistheDivineWillofGod.”
“HolyLovecanbelikenedtothesun,whichspillsitsraysovertheearthenlighteningtheshadowsofdarkness.ItislikethekeystothekingdomIentrustedtoMyapostlePeter.ItisthedoortoMySacredHeartandunionwithDivineLove.”
“HolyLoveistheharmonybetweenman,nature,andtheCreator.Itistheinterpretationofthelawandthemeansofallsanctification.”
“ThewillofmanmustchooseHolyLove.Itisnotopentodebate,andstandsundauntedinthefaceofdiscernment.HolyLovecannotbejudged,foritisthejudge.”
“HolyLove isoffered ineverypresentmomentandfollowsthesoulintoeternity.” (Jesus – June 28, 1999)
The Effects of Holy Love in the Heart“Ihavecome toyou tospeakabout theeffectsofHolyLove in the
heart.”“Holy Love can transform the most mundane task into a powerful
redemptivetoolintheHandsofGod.”“HolyLove,whenitisacceptedintheheart,cantransformdarkness
intotheLightofTruth.”“Holy Love can inspire victory over sin; therefore,Holy Love is the
foundationofeveryconversionofheart.”“Holy Love is the vehicle of surrender of free will to accept God’s
DivineWill.”“ItisHolyLovewhichhelpsthesoultorecognizeGod’sgraceinevery
cross.”“ThesearesoundreasonsforsoulstoaccepttheseMessagesandto
supportthisMissionofHolyLovebylivingtheMessages.TodosoistoallowyourhearttobetransformedbyHolyLove.TodosoistofollowthepursuitofHolyPerfection.”(St. Francis de Sales – January 14, 2012)
“WithoutHolyLoveintheheart,gooddeeds,penanceandreparationarehollow;forHolyLoveisthefoundationofholiness,righteousnessandtruth. It is impossible for the soul to complywith theDivineWill of theFatherapartfromHolyLove,forGod’sWillisHolyLove.”
“HolyLove leadsthesoulawayfromfocusonself to focusonGodandneighbor.ThisleadstheheartintobalancewiththeDivineWill.Thesoul gradually loses sight of how everything affects him—to focus onhoweverythingaffectsGodandneighbor.SuchasoulisajewelinGod’sEyesandmountsswiftlyupthestairwaytoholiness.This isthepathtoperfection.”(St. Francis de Sales – January 16, 2012)

SPIRITUAL PREPARATION: Come in a prayerful mood. Many people pray and fast before their visit. Read or re-read about all the graces available on the property. If you are not a Missionary Servant of Holy Love, perhaps make the three-day consecration just before you make your pilgrimage. Show special kindness to other pilgrims’ needs. Take in with every breath the peace and joy of Maranatha.

OUR LADY’S BLESSING POINT
(Write your prayer requests on a piece of paper, touch them to the Blessing Point, venerate this spot by kissing the glass, and then place your requests in the basket.)
“IwelcomeallwhohaveansweredMycalltocomehere.IamwaitingtotakeeachpetitiontotheHeartofMySon.” (Our Lady - July 30, 1992)
Throughout the early 1990’s, Our Lady appeared to the Visionary during prayer services held at Seven Hills, Ohio. Our Lady hovered over one particular area of the room at the prayer meetings. No matter where Maureen would sit, Our Lady always appeared in the same place. Eventually this area of the carpeting, over which Our Lady appeared, began to radiate the fragrance of roses. Our Lady advised the Ministry to mark off this area with a circle (representing eternity), and to place rosaries and other holy items there for special blessings.
When the Ministry moved from the Seven Hills site, Our Lady directed the Ministry to cut out the carpeted area where “HEAVEN AND EARTH HAVE MET” so the blessings could continue for those who venerate this special area of grace.
“Dear children, I leave you this sign ofMypresence amongst you.Pressyourrosariesandotherobjectstoit.Kissitandvenerateit.THISISWHEREHEAVENANDEARTHHAVEMET. Ipromisemany,manygracestothosewhodoso.”(Our Lady – March 22, 1992)

The ecclesial movement of the Armata Bianca (“White Army”) started in the city of L’Aquila, Italy for the sole purpose of ending abortion in the world, and has since grown internationally.
Holy Love Ministries has been honored as a recipient of the White Madonna (“Mary, Mother of the Unborn Children”) because of its ongoing pro-life efforts, especially through the Rosary of the Unborn. We are grateful for the privilege of hosting Our Lady’s International Shrine.

Invitation“To m
ake a pilgrimage to this site is to experience a foretaste of living in a w
orld that is at peace based on the truth of H
oly Love. I invite you to taste this peace, which is an eternal
sign of Heaven's presence on this property.
(Jesus - July 26, 2009)
“Each time a person com
es here or reads the Messages, it is by M
y Mother's invitation.”
(Jesus – March 23, 2009)
“I extend My invitation to all nations to com
e to this site and partake of the Message
of Holy Love. This M
essage is all-embracing, all-encom
passing. The prodigies of grace extended here are proof and the fruits of M
y coming to you. I
desire processions come in prayer to the S
pring Heaven has
given.” (Blessed M
other - April 20, 1996)
Instructions to Pilgrims
St. C
atherine of Siena says: “P
raise be to Jesus.” “I w
ish to describe to you the proper disposition of heart for those w
ho come to this apparition site—
especially for the first tim
e.”“Jesus desires that the heart of each pilgrim
be open—that
the heart be a blank page for Him
to write upon. The less the
pilgrim know
s of others’ opinions, the better. There are, as with
every apparition site, many false rum
ors and false discernment
attacking this place of Heaven’s predilection.”
“Jesus does not like people to come w
ith preconceived ideas of w
hat may take place here. Therefore, do not anticipate
any certain grace. Each one’s pilgrim
age is individual. Som
e m
ay receive a profound illumination of conscience—
others not.” “D
o not look for proof of all that takes place here as being from
Heaven. D
o not come here to find fault. That is not
discernment.”
“Let your hearts be open to the individual experience that G
od has in store for you, knowing full w
ell that Imm
aculate Mary
invited you here to deepen your relationship with H
er Son and
God the Father. A
llow the S
pirit of Truth to carry you deeper into an intim
ate relationship with the H
oly Trinity.” “D
o not compare your experience here w
ith anyone else’s, for no tw
o are alike. God know
s best how to reach each heart.
When you share your experiences, do so giving G
od the glory, for all grace com
es from H
is Mercy and H
is Love. Never present yourself as being chosen
or special or all-knowing in any w
ay. Rem
ember, hum
ility is the first step on the stairway to
holiness. There is a proper way to evangelize just as there is a proper w
ay to do anything.”
“Do not allow
your heart to be filled with judgm
ent against Heaven’s efforts here. You
do not gain merit in G
od’s Eyes by opposing H
im. You only invoke H
is Judgment. S
uch a one cooperates w
ith evil.” “M
ake a sincere heartfelt Act of C
ontrition before you come onto the property. G
race w
ill then fill your heart.” (A
pril 24, 2008)
Concerning Photographs
“My daughter, I am
prepared to share with you som
e knowledge of the im
ages that have been captured on photographs. K
eep in mind, how
ever, that this is what photographs
are—im
ages captured on film. D
ifferent images have different m
eaning to each individual. Therefore, each picture should be surrendered to prayer before conclusions are draw
n.”“First, let M
e begin with the cloud seen hovering over
the prayer center on certain nights of prayer. This is a sign of G
od’s presence and protection over you. The Jews in the
desert had such an escort.”“The color purple stands for Jesus’ P
assion. Red is for
martyrdom
. Green is for hope. The circle is M
y signature—w
hether large or seen as a small H
ost shape. St. P
io is your special patron on the property and in this m
ission, thus his presence in som
e pictures.”“It is M
y intent that these simple explanations w
ill help My
children. But if they pray, they w
ill know in their hearts the full
meaning of each im
age. Further, their pilgrimage should not
be a search for signs but a search for perfection in holiness.” (O
ur Lady - Novem
ber 8, 1996)
The Nature of M
iracles"I have com
e to help all to understand the nature of m
iracles. Many com
e here to this site hoping to witness
miracles—
and many do."
"But often the greatest m
iracles are silent—spoken only to
the heart. It is this type of miracle that too often goes unnoticed
but results in a changed attitude. Perhaps the soul is converted
and for the first time begins to live the H
oly Love Messages.
Perhaps the soul is able to forgive som
e long past injury. M
aybe for the first time the soul allow
s Heaven to use him
as a special instrum
ent of evangelization." "W
hatever the change of heart, a miraculous grace w
as tendered forth to inspire the change."
"Therefore, I have come to help all to look beyond the external—
the spectacular—and to recognize the m
iraculous workings of grace w
ithin hearts at this site."
(St. P
atrick - March 17, 2011/Feast of S
t. Patrick)
