"FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY"
Holy Day of Obligation
Excited this great day! I believe I said my morning prayers and prayed the day would be all that Mary, the Mother of God wanted it to be! Readied myself. God wanted special pains taken with my hair. He wanted my gold combs in my hair as if a crown. He helped me do my hair. It went up very beautifully. "Thank you Lord."
Waited for Mark to get home from work. He did get in around 12:00 noon. Dad and mom were here before that. No fasting today. This is a celebration day! Spaghetti is prepared and I fixed up a potato salad earlier. I finally leave around 1:00 P.M.
Please Note: God told me it would not rain until I got to St. John Neumann Church.
On the drive over to the Church, there were some light drops of rain. I drop by the Rockymore family house and I did bring my light blue umbrella for the Lord God said it would rain. The Blessed Virgin Mary also said this. "Yes, and it did rain too!" Diana and I left for the Church walking together.
The Lord God said there would be 20,0000 people there at the Church Grounds and it certainly looked like a lot of folks! When Diana and I finally got through the crowds, the Vietnamese Rosary was being said. It was very beautiful, sounding almost like a song. It was another world! Thousands were there.
As Diana and I got into the church, and into the Altar area, I began to look out the door to see outside. It was pouring rain! When everyone heard, they roared with joy and cheered. It was somewhere in this time that I helped Mike Slate bless some folks in a small room in the office areas of the church. We later found out this woman believed she had been cured from cancer.
We began blessing the Eucharistic ministers and flag bearers. Some were slayed in the Spirit. This was all such a joyous and celebrated time! After this completion, some priests came for blessings as well; foreign visitors and natives alike. It was Rosary time, so Mary Constancio and myself, along with Ann Hernandez left for the outdoor Altar. There were body guards for us. We got to the top and began the Rosary with Mary Constancio doing the Five Joyful Mysteries. This went on until completed. During this time the clouds gathered in the east and a strong wind came from the east and blew greatly! I remembered personally what the Blessed Virgin had said in one of Her messages through Mary Constancio, "I shall come through the clouds like a storm that cannot be consoled, but gentle as a dove."
(Mary Constancio received this Message on May 16th, 1988)
Yes indeed! Just as the Queen of Heaven said! After Mary Constancio's Rosary, I prayed the Five Sorrowful Decades. I personally felt the SPIRIT telling me to "Fire Up" the hordes of people. AWAKE THEM! Make them feel the Rosary deeply and to THINK upon it deeply. I tried my best.
