Fatima: Rays of God's Light

On July 11, 2008 at 3:45 PM, I photographed rays of God's Light in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, located at the World Apostolate of Fatima, Washington, (Warren County), New Jersey, USA. The Catholic chapel had subdued lighting, so I used the flash to take indoor photographs. However, sunlight appears to be shining through the stained glass window, creating beautiful rainbow colors! The rays of light appear to be flowing towards the ceiling. I cannot explain the phenomenon; however, God seems to work in mysterious ways. Our Lord Jesus sends signs and wonders when we least expect it.

Remarkably, the stained glass window is a representation of the Miracle of the Sun which was witnessed by 70,000 people on October 13, 1917 at Fatima, Portugal. In addition, NJ.com reported that on September 8, 2007, visitors to the National Blue Army Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Washington, (Warren County), New Jersey, USA, witnessed the Miracle of the Sun and saw Jesus and Mary in the sky during the solar phenomenon. For information regarding the story, please visit the following link: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2007/10/thousands_are_expected_to_gath.html

In John, Chapter 1, Verse 5, the following is noted: "Now this is the message that we have heard from him and proclaim to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all."

In Psalm 150:1-2, the following is proclaimed: "Praise God in his Holy sanctuary; give praise in the mighty dome of heaven. Give praise for his mighty deeds, praise him for his great majesty."

Unexplained Image of Jesus Appears in Hospital Chapel

Image In Hospital Brings Some To Tears, Prompts E-Mails - Orlando News Story - WKMG Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Local6.com reported that an unexplained image appeared in a hospital prayer garden window and drew a number of people into the hallway before disappearing. Several people used cell phones to photograph what appears to be the face of Jesus.

"This was just a sign for me to not worry about what is going on in my life and that everything else is under control," Joel Cruzada said. "It was an enlightening experience."

Miracle of the Sun: A Gift and Testimony of a Spiritual Phenomenon

Miracle of the Sun is a personal revelation and vision that I'm releasing publicly with testimony of a supernatural and spiritual phenomenon that I, (Loci B. Lenar) witnessed at approximately 6:00 PM eastern standard time on September 8, 1991 in northern New Jersey while traveling through the town of Dover into Wharton. Prior to the divine encounter, my faith as a Christian and Catholic could be best described as lukewarm. However, the spiritual experience became life changing and transformed me into a faithful believer of Jesus Christ and the Bible. The following is conveyed in John, Chapter 4, Verse 48: Jesus said, “Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

With those words in mind, the sun appeared in a vivid hue of Orange-Red, while visually increasing in size to the extent that it's difficult to explain with logical terms. While the sun was expanding in magnitude, it slowly descended and encompassed the earth with its sheer vastness and colors. The visual phenomenon lasted for only about three minutes. Interestingly, my eyes were not affected by looking directly at the solar event. Furthermore, through discernment, the Spirit of the Lord was present and overwhelmed me with an almost indescribable blissful peace of heaven; however, the spiritual after effect lasted for nearly three hours. During the spiritual visitation, the Lord also imparted me with a vision of our world gifted and Blessed in Peace. In addition, the Lord conveyed a message for me to present to the World Apostolate of Fatima. I put the communication into writing and shortly after delivered its contents via certified mail to Father Andrew and other members of the clergy, including Sister Mary Celeste of the Holy House Convent, located at the Blue Army Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Washington, New Jersey. Prior to the miracle, I visited the shrine on several occasions and conversed with Sister Mary Celeste, an editor of the Catholic youth magazine, Hearts Aflame. My article Reaching for Eternity with God's Love is published in the Summer 1992 issue of the magazine. Her thoughtful support during my spiritual conversion with an open-minded approach to faith must be commended.

Providence is a catalyst for the miraculous events that followed: The contents of the message are unfolding. My communication to the Blue Army Shrine included a prophetic vision and request by the Lord for the Catholic Church to return the Icon of Kazan to the Russian Orthodox Church as a result of the break up of the Soviet Union. The Lord's request was made in September of 1991, just before the Soviet Union was officially dissolved in December of the same year. On August 28, 2004 the Icon was finally returned to Russia by the Vatican and handed over to Orthodox Patriarch Alexei II. The Icon is also known as Our Lady of Kazan and considered the “protectress of Russia.” For additional information about the Icon of Kazan, please visit the following link: http://www.zimbio.com/pilot?ZURL=%2FMiracles%2Bof%2BFaith%2Farticles%2F9%2FMiracle%2BSun%2BGift%2BTestimony%2BSpiritual%2BPhenomenon&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cwnews.com%2Fnews%2Fviewstory.cfm%3Frecnum%3D31648

In addition, the Lord imparted a message of a great sign to unfold for humanity in the future in order to validate the existence of God. Jesus communicated an official day of October 13 for the Miracle of the Sun to be witnessed by humanity. God's miraculous sign will come to pass at the appropriate time in our millennium.

In a recent locution, the Lord conveyed the following: "Now is the time to move forward, release the truth and prophesy your story with scripture." Moreover, one may refer to the spiritual event as a Miracle of the Son (Jesus). For information that correlates to my story, please read Miraculous Signs: Angels from Heaven. The story is posted below, or visit the following link: http://www.lenarpoetry.com/.

The Bible conveys the following in Acts, Chapter 2, Verse 17-18: "God says, 'It will come to pass in the last days that I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. Indeed, upon my servants and my handmaids, I will pour out a portion of my spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy.' " The Lord is not indicating the end of our world, but rather the end of old ways, and the beginning of change with a new era. Through discernment, the Lord is preparing our Mellennium for a great era of peace and prosperity with an outpouring of the Holy Spirit for salvation and healing. The following is noted in Jeremiah 8, Verse 23: "This rather is what I commanded them: Listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk in all the ways that I command you, so that you may prosper."

God the Father indeed works in mysterious ways through His divine Son, Jesus Christ for the conversion and salvation of humanity. Whatever the rationale, the event was awe-inspiring and changed me spiritually as I've noted in the poem. (To read poetry, click on the image)

Through the blessings and grace of God, the heavenly event also lead me to physical and spiritual healing. I was healed of a heart arrhythmia known as Atrial Fibrillation. The medical condition is treated with Lanoxin, a cardiac medicine. However, I've not used the medication for over ten years. Additionally, I was healed from years of suffering painful headaches after countless visits to physicians with treatments that went to no avail. With the intercession of the Blessed Mother and prayer, I was healed by the power of God through the Anointing of the Sick. The healing sacrament is administered through the church. In James 5, Verse 14-15 the following is noted: "Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven."

I believe it's the appropriate time to release my story, and God's Will is to provide hope to humankind, especially during difficult times. I give praise and glory to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as well as thanks to the Blessed Mother (Our Lady of Fatima) for all the gifts and spiritual wonders. My witnessing the Miracle of the Sun was conveyed in the 1990s to my spiritual advisor - Father Richard Tartaglia of Saint Mary's Church, Denville, NJ (USA) - for his prudent and faith related assessment.

I was also spiritually inspired by Our Lord to write a Millennium Prayer for world peace as a result of witnessing several spiritual wonders. In Psalm 37, Verse 4-6, the following is noted: "Find your delight in the Lord who will give you your heart's desire. Commit your way to the Lord; trust that God will act and make your integrity shine like the dawn, your vindication like noonday."

Prayer to Mitigate Natural Disasters

God the Father, we join together in prayer, and petition heaven for divine intervention to mitigate earthquakes and natural disasters throughout the world.

We invoke the powerful name of Jesus to calm the storms of time and to bring forth a millennium of peace and tranquility.

We pray to the Virgin Mary to intercede on behalf of humanity for God's hand of mercy to bless us with divine protection.

We ask this and thank thee in the name of Jesus. Amen

I wrote the prayer in 2010 as a result of the earthquake in Haiti.

Our Lord inspired my heart to compose a prayer in order to petition God to mitigate earthquakes and disasters while I was praying for the victims of Haiti.

Please join in by reciting the prayer daily. Pray for the victims and families affected by the devastating earthquake in Turkey.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful prayer support.

I wish to convey my thanks to everyone for tuning into Sacred Treasures on Monday (September 27, 2010) and listening to my testimony regarding God's spiritual gifts. I also wish to thank radio host, Kathie Duggan, for inviting me on her program.

Some of the topics discussed on the radio show are the events leading to my conversion. Our conversation focused on the spiritual presence of Archangel Michael including a cross which continues to appear on my property since 2005. I also discussed my healing of several medical conditions by receiving the sacrament of the anointing of the sick.

As a witness to God's signs, my hope is that everyone that hears my account will open their heart to receive the Lord's blessings and grace. By doing so, may Jesus guide you on the pathway to salvation, healing, and peace.

I believe God's timing has arrived to move forward with a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit for an upsurge of church wide evangelization.

With that in mind, radio host, Kathie Duggan has invited me back to her show to continue my testimony. An update will be posted when the schedule becomes available.

In the meantime, if anyone was unable to tune into Radio Maria, a recording of the radio program is available here on my blog for interested parties.

Sacred Treasures is a Catholic radio show, which is broadcasted on radio stations located in Pennsylvania and south into Texas. However, listeners can also visit the website of Radio Maria at http://radiomaria.us/ to hear the broadcast live between 3:00 PM -4:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time).

While visiting the website of Radio Maria, please do consider listening to some of their other wonderful programs.

"Cross Appears in 2011 during Lent and Holy Week as a Sign of God's Love," -- Loci B. Lenar

My wife had her cousin Diane Kayal visit our home with her family on Saturday, March 26, 2011. Her cousin's daughter, Brooke stayed overnight. The miracle cross appeared Sunday morning and while standing next to the image, Brooke said in awe, "It looks like Jesus." I believe that God has opened the windows of heaven and is pouring out the Holy Spirit on our world. Joel 2:28 says, "...I will pour out my Spirit on all people..." In Psalm 84:11, it reads, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”

"Cross Appears Annually Since 2005," Loci B. Lenar

The above cross appeared on my propetry several times in 2005. Incidentally, on March 25, 2008 by coincidence or perhaps I should say by providence, the Gloucester County Times of Woodbury, NJ, reported a front page story of a similar cross which was photographed by 9 year old Gwynna Crawford on Easter Sunday.

The cross appeared on a neighbor's house in Pitman, NJ (above photo). The article indicated that Gwyanna's mother and the neighbor were unable to find the source of the sun reflection.

Since 2005 and each year following, God the Father has blest me through His divine son, Jesus Christ, with a miraculous sign of a cross which appears annually on my residence in Mine Hill, NJ. Once again, on Saturday morning, March 27, 2010, a cross surrounded by a shield appeared on my backyard fence (above photo). The spiritual presence of God and His angels coincided with the start of Holy Week. The cross started appearing at the top of the fence as a result of sunlight and then slowly moved downward until it came in contact with the ground. At that point it turned into a round circle of light and then afterward it disappeared. The most recent cross was seen by my wife, Teresa, including my son, Ryan and his friend Nicole. With that in mind, God is calling for everyone to join in prayer for His blessings and graces to mitigate and extinguish violence throughout the world in order to usher in an era of peace. Our Lord is also calling for us to return to the sacraments of the church and to celebration of the Holy Mass.

Fr. Richard Tartaglia: Spiritual Director

By Loci B. Lenar

Almost twenty years have passed since I began my initial search for a spiritual advisor. I expected the process to be straightforward and simple; however, it became rather challenging. The most important element in my mind at the time was to find someone that could understand and relate to my spiritual circumstances. As a result, Fr. Richard Tartaglia (above photo) became my spiritual advisor. However, before making my decision, it was a hit and miss process with a few other priests. In hindsight, it was the appropriate choice. Fr. Richard is not only a skillful spiritual counselor, but I also consider him a friend. To read the complete story and for other photographs, please click on the above image.
