About Me

I was raised in a Roman Catholic family, attended catholic school and went to Sunday Mass. My father didn’t attend Sunday mass and my mother did later in life. I do not recall why they didn’t attend mass. I must admit as a child I thought mass was boring. It wasn’t until I was an adult and went to a few Charismatic Renewal conferences the late 1990’s that I understood the true meaning of the mass and its many graces and healings.

My youngest brother is learning disabled and didn’t talk until late in life. For years, every day on her knees my mother on a wooden splintered floor said the Rosary for my brother.

Although my parents did not participate in Sunday mass however they did take us to many Shrines throughout the years, and we constantly watched religious movies, The Song of St Bernadette , Our Lady of Lourdes , The Ten Commandments , King of Kings to name a few. I believe this is where my seed was planted.

My mom joined a prayer group near her workplace and soon started to attend Sunday mass. The prayer group hosted a pilgrimage to Medjugorje Yugoslavia.

So, in 1988 I went with my mother, brother and sister to Medjugorje Yugoslavia. It was said that the Blessed Mother was appearing to six children. I had seen videos of the children and I just knew this was real. I had grown up hearing and watching the stories of Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Fatima . I was in awe if only it happened in my lifetime. So naturally when the opportunity arose for me to go to Medjugorje I jumped at the idea.

The villagers placed a mound of rocks round where the Blessed Mother 1st appeared to the children with a cross placed in the center. This is known as Apparition Hill. (Photo of the hill in Medjugorje)

During my visit at Medjugorje while I was there praying at Apparition Hill, there was a fire in the rocks. Nothing was igniting the fire so curious as I am I moved the rock to see where the fire was coming from then out of nowhere a bouquet of flowers (that wasn’t there before) was ignited by the flames the white paper surrounding the roses went up in flames but the leaves, stems and roses stayed intact. I then took a photo of the fire. When I returned home, and I developed the film. The photo of the fire in the rocks appeared images of people from different eras of time. I felt in my heart that they were souls in purgatory asking for prayers that’s why they appeared in the photo. So, I had masses said for them.

Soon after I had a vision another experience at Apparition Hill while I was praying the rosary. A golden ray from the sky pierced my rosary beads. Suddenly all my rosary beads glisten gold in color around the pearl caps. I didn’t think anything of it just how beautiful and how happy it made me feel an overwhelming joy. The next day I noticed that my rosary beads were turning gold like the vision that I had the day before and even the links were turning to gold.

When I returned home from Medjugorje I went to daily mass if my scheduled allowed for it. I also fasted on Wednesdays and Fridays like the Blessed mother asked. Ever since then, I would also make little sacrifices. For instance, if I am craving “rocky road” ice cream instead of buying rocky road I would by vanilla or wouldn’t buy any ice cream at all. I learned to deny myself little things.

I was happy but there was something missing. In the core of my stomach it felt empty as if there was a hole. There was an ache that I cannot explain. After seeing a significant positive change in my mother after she joined a prayer group. She a had an overwhelming glow and she was happy (she wasn't a happy person). I then decided to join my parish prayer group. I soon began to understand the catholic faith and I became whole. That ache in the pit of my stomach was gone, it was filled. Prior to that my catholic religion was just memorized words, now those words came to life!

I soon longed to attend mass and receive Holy Communion. When my schedule dictated, I began to go to daily mass.

One night in 2000 while I was sleeping, and I awoke to find 3 souls at the foot of my bed all burnt from head to toe, brunt from fire. They were black and burnt looked like when you roast a marshmallow on a stick. I looked at them and for some reason was not afraid and immediately went back to sleep. A few days later I was reading a book about St Teresa and in the book, St Teresa said that there were degrees, levels in purgatory the closer to hell the more burnt the souls in purgatory are. Since these souls were extremely burnt, I assume they were closer to hell. I say masses for them still till this day.

In 2002 I had a vision of my neighbor who had passed away. In this vision I felt an intense overwhelming love and mourning of her death as if it were my child or husband then she disappeared. Next appeared a group of people marching towards me two by two. The closer they marched to me the larger they appeared. Then they disappeared as if I switched off the TV. I felt in my heart as these were souls that through my prayers were set free from purgatory.

These are just a few of my experience with purgatory.

Since the year 2000 I have been offering many masses thru the National Centre for Padre Pio , and the Seraphic Association for the holy souls in purgatory, my deceased relative and friends, past generations and for my living family and friends.

Around rosary beads I say the St Gertrude prayer.

Every time the prayer is said it releases 1000 souls from purgatory given to St. Gertrude by Jesus in a revelation. So, if you say the prayer using rosary beads that’s 60 times 1000. That’s 60,000 souls that you helped released from purgatory. According to WorldOMeter there are over 100,000 deaths the day that I wrote this.

While saying the rosary after each decade I also say the following 3 additional prayers:

1)"The Fatima Prayer". O MY JESUS, FORGIVE US OUR SINS, SAVE US FROM THE FIRES OF HELL, AND LEAD ALL SOULS TO HEAVEN, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN MOST NEED OF THY MERCY. Our Lady of Fatima after showing the children Hell, said "Each time you say the Rosary, my children, after each decade, recite this prayer”.

2) JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH I LOVE YOU SAVE SOULS Jesus promised Sister Maria Consolata Betrone that the prayer “Jesus, Mary, I love You, Save Souls!!” will save one sinner from death and repair 1,000 blasphemies.

3) The St. Gertrude Prayer: ETERNAL FATHER, I OFFER THEE THE MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THY DIVINE SON, JESUS, IN UNION WITH THE MASSES SAID THROUGHOUT THE WORLD TODAY, FOR ALL THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY, FOR SINNERS EVERYWHERE, FOR SINNERS IN THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, THOSE IN MY OWN HOME AND WITHIN MY FAMILY.

From 2005-2013 Several events took a dramatic change in my life and I left the holy souls behind remembering them now and again…

Then in 2014 life knocked at my door. I found true happiness only to have it ripped from me with the sudden death of a person very dear to my heart. I pleaded with God, asked why. I was devastated. I read many books on purgatory in the past but now that wasn’t enough. I read every book that I could get my hands on. I was like a sponge, I wanted more and more. I drowned myself in reading.

My friend would often say that God sent you to me to save me. One day as if like an epiphany maybe it was true, and I was to save him from purgatory. I immediately declared it my mission to release him from purgatory as well as all deceased souls and to pray for the salvation of mankind.

Still in a deep morning I procrastinated. Then Lord said to me “My dearest daughter waste no time. In your presumptuousness souls are being lost. Stay steadfast in prayer and be earnest.” I began to request mases again for both living and deceased. I recited the Divine Mercy and Rosary daily. I work long hours and I found it the best to say these prayers while driving back and forth to work.

Once again, I became overwhelmed with my life’s burdens and began to slack off. But the souls kept drawing me in. The overwhelming intensity, the longing, the unquestionable desire placed upon my heart and soul to pray for the holy souls in purgatory I could no longer ignore.

Every now and then I would have visions of souls. They would appear anywhere at any time. That soon changed and I would mostly see images at mass at the altar. This continues to happen till this day.

I always had a passion for the holy souls in purgatory. I cannot tell you when it started it was always there.

What better way to propagate the holy souls than a website. Thus, the Holy Souls was born.
