Last weekend -Friday July 9th to Sunday July 11th we made the trek to Rome City, Indiana for the fourth time in 3 years. A Day of Prayer and Healing was scheduled for the entire day on Saturday July 10th, and with the threat of possibly losing the site (the judge was to rule on July 16th), we traveled along with many other devotees to join in prayer for a miracle that would save this site and designate it as a Marian Center like Lourdes and Fatima.
The word came through yesterday that our prayers have been answered for the time being. Though we still URGENTLY need a buyer to secure the site for all of her children as Our Lady requested, the judge has once more extended the deadline to sell the property to Sept. 11th! Thank you dear Lord for answering our prayers. Now we must pray in thanksgiving for this extension as well as for a buyer(s) to come forward NOW so that this long ordeal will be over and all of us will be able to visit this beautiful and peace filled place often. Prayers are also needed for Bishop Rhoades, the newly installed bishop of Fort Wayne - South Bend, so that he may give this place his stamp of approval. Though already a canonically approved devotion, many people look to the Bishop before coming forward with the necessary funds to secure the site.
More will follow about the tremendous experiences and blessings we had last week as well as pictures of our trip. The picture above is one of several I took after attending the Friday Night Rosary on 7/9/2010. All of us filed outside to the front of the building and lo and behold....the sun was spinning! Most of the prayer warriors that evening saw it.... including me and my husband. We felt like pinching ourselves but knew it was really happening AGAIN. And to think we have been blessed with this miracle on two separate trips! Laus Deo!
All for Our Lady of America!
In Rome City, Indiana the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a humble nun in 1956 as Our Lady of America and asked her to spread this devotion. Despite many efforts and church approval, few people are aware of the apparition site of Our Lady of America, her messages or the miracles that continue to happen in Rome City. People travel the globe to visit other apparition sites unaware that Mary is in their own backyard. "By Thy Holy and Immaculate Conception,O Mary, Deliver Us from Evil"
