A BLACK CROSS PLACED OVER MANHATTAN
Jesus
- "My
children, I have warned the nations that the abomination of murders of
the young must be discontinued. For measure for measure We are counting
these abominations, and the punishments and chastisements shall be
metered in accordance with the numbers of murders of the young. No city
shall escape the just wrath of an angry God."
Veronica
-
Oh, now Jesus is pointing over to the left side of the
sky, and I see a map of the United States. And I see a great, big
cross, a black cross being placed over - it looks like Long Island.
No.. no, it would be about the Manhattan area - a very large black
cross. It's very ominous - looking. It's being now placed - it's
floating; the cross has gone from Long Island - I don't know - from Long
Island down, now it's covering, I believe it's all of Manhattan, like in
New York City, and - oh, my! I don't know!
Now the cross is
disappearing. I can still see the outline of the east coast. Our Lady
is now touching Her lips.
Our Lady
- "My child, no more shall be given for the time being. You understand,
My child, now why I cautioned you to send out the message with great
haste.
"You will all now
keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world and your
country. No nation shall be destroyed that turns back to a sorrowful
Father in Heaven and repents of its sin.
"I assure you, My
children, no man shall be lost if he turns from the ways that offend the
Eternal Father, and repents of his sin."

Testimonial from a Ground Zero
Volunteer
A young man called
the Shrine who was a volunteer at Ground Zero for 9 nine months . He
requested blessed rose petals to distribute to his fellow volunteers at
an upcoming memorial for the the World Trade Center victims on 9-11-01.
His assignment was the removal and trucking of the steel. During the
conversation about his work, he commented that as he treaded carefully
on the mound of debris and as he looked, everywhere he constantly saw
crosses in the steel rubble. He believed these were all signs of the
many souls now in God’s hands.

Testimonial
Letter of the Miraculous Twin Twin Towers Photo on 9-11-01
Dear Our Lady of
the Roses Shrine:
I have never
been an overly religious person by nature. I’ve been a practicing
Catholic off and on for my entire adult life. I grew up with a very
religious background and instead of bringing me closer to God it sent me
further away. Last year I decided once again, that I needed God in my
life, but didn’t know where to start. In cleaning out my drawers one
day I came across a blessed rose petal with the name and address of the
Shrine written on the back. I called information to get the number and
proceeded to make the call that changed my life. I had a lot of
questions and still some doubts, but a very patient woman answered all
my questions and invited me to “come and check it out”. At the end of
our conversation, she said something to me that I have never forgotten,
she said it was not by accident that I called, but that I was being
brought there by the Blessed Mother. I knew at that moment that I had
taken the first step in bringing God back into my life.
I started
attending some of the vigils, not all of them. I always felt welcome. I
began to come more often. All we did was just say the rosary and pray
with faith and reverence to the Blessed Mother. Some people had cameras
and took pictures during the vigil that truly were miraculous. I
immediately went out to buy a Polaroid camera and took some pictures at
the next vigil. Nothing happened. I was disappointed but not
disheartened. Then I was told I should be using the old SX-70 camera.
Once again I went out and bought one but still nothing happened. Again
I was disappointed but still had great faith that I was really in the
right place, I don’t know why. I told the Blessed Mother I would really
like to have a miraculous picture whenever She was ready to give it to
me.
I began coming
to the vigils on a more regular basis. Some of my pictures came out
with a warm gold color but still not what “I” considered to be
“miraculous”. I made up my mind the night before that I was going to the
next vigil…it was September 11th,
2001!
I woke up that
morning to the most terrible tragedy that I have ever experienced in my
life. After watching TV in a daze for the entire day, I decided that I
must get to the vigil that night. I don’t drive, and am usually late
for everything. I knew I just had to get to the vigil. I didn’t want
the Blessed Mother to be there by Herself, so I left extra early from my
apartment in Manhattan to go to Flushing Meadows Park on the subway
Flushing Line. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew in my heart that
nothing could happen to me if I was just going to keep the Blessed
Mother company. Nobody stopped me walking through the park even though
cars were being stopped and police were all over the place. I walked in
as though nothing had happened.
All I could
think of was that someone had to get there to keep the Blessed Mother
company on this tragic day and that somebody needed to pray for all
those poor people lost and their families. I got there about 6:50PM. I
started to pray on my own. I didn’t think anyone else would come. Only
a handful of people came. I brought my camera. I took a couple of
pictures and was a little disappointed that they weren’t miraculous…. I
still had great faith, I just can’t explain it. I showed my picture to
another pilgrim who turned the picture sideways and she said to me…..‘It’s
the Twin Towers all in gold!’ It was my first (and one of many
since) miraculous pictures.
The irony of
it all is that I used to live in the Gateway Plaza apartments, directly
across the street from the World Trade Center. I was living there
during the first terrorist attack. I applied for a job in the World
Trade Center that I was very qualified for, but didn’t get because I was
overqualified and lost my apartment there when my job was going
downhill.
I couldn’t
understand why God wasn’t listening to my prayers. He heard every one
of them and not only saved me….but my soul as well!
