-Joel 2:28 
 

 

 

Commencing in 2007 and onward, Loci B. Lenar set in motion a campaign to publicize news connected to Christianity and Catholicism.  With an increased number of reports related to the miraculous, Lenar embarked on broadcasting events in order to bring public awareness to signs and wonders arising from Our Savior Jesus Christ. 
 
News updates can be found on the Angels, Wonders, and Miracles of Faith blog, including on the Signs, Wonders, and Miracles website. 

Lenar launched the blog and website because of his own personal growth in the Catholic faith, resulting from a spiritual encounter with the Lord in 1991. The event was life changing and transformed him into a faithful believer of the gospels of Jesus Christ.

Subject matter related to Lenar’s testimony can be found in several articles that are posted on the Signs, Wonders, and Miracles website. In 2008, he created the new site as a gathering place for all who are seeking Jesus, especially for Christians and Catholics to renew their faith with God through inspirational stories and news of miracles. The site also has a selection of Devotional Prayers that visitors can use daily.

As our millennium unfolds, Lenar believes that God the Father is calling His people to move forward with Christian unity by awakening church leaders and promoting efforts to instill peace into religious denominations through constructive change. Further information on the matter is noted in Tribute to King: Signs from the Heavenly Kingdom.  The spiritual locution from Jesus can be examined and studied by visiting the above link.

Lenar has shared the locution with his spiritual advisor, Father Richard Tartaglia of Saint Mary's Church, Denville, NJ.

Regarding God's word, 1Samuel 12:16 states, Now then, stand ready to witness the great marvel the Lord is about to accomplish before your eyes.

In Luke 18:27, Jesus said, “What is impossible for human beings is possible for God.” In unified prayer, all is possible with our faith in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Through the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, Lenar believes that Our Lady of Fatima's message from her 1917 apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, pertaining to an era of peace, will unfold as well. He believes her message is connected to Revelation 20:1-3, and will come to light with a thousand-year reign of God’s peace.

The blog and website will report news related to the topic as events unfold.

God's Angelic Protection: U.S. Marine Walks Away from Shot to Helmet - Fox News

The following excerpt is from Fox News:  

Marjah, Afghanistan - On the one hand, he was shot in the head. On the other, the bullet bounced off him.

In one of those rare battlefield miracles, an insurgent sniper hit Lance Cpl. Koenig dead on in the front of his helmet, and he walked away from it with a smile on his face.

"I don't think I could be any luckier than this," Lance Cpl. Koenig said two hours after the shooting.

Gunnery Sgt. Shelton, a 36-year-old veteran from Nashville, said he had never seen a Marine survive a direct shot to the head.

But next to him was Cpl. Christopher Ahrens, who quietly mentioned that two bullets had grazed his helmet the day the Marines attacked Marjah. The same thing, he said, happened to him three times in firefights in Iraq.

Cpl. Ahrens, 26, from Havre de Grace, Md., lifted the camouflaged cloth cover on his helmet, exposing the holes where the bullets had entered and exited.

He turned it over to display the picture card tucked inside, depicting Michael the Archangel stamping on Lucifer's head. "I don't need luck," he said.

The following excerpt is from an article by Jessica Meyers of The Dallas Morning News:
 
Marian Chadwick used the heftiest weapons she could find when a man tried to rob her Frisco shop, her finger and the power of God. And they worked.

Chadwick owns Extravagant Necessities, a crafts boutique near Stonebriar Country Club. She was finishing a sale with her last customer of the day when a hooded man walked in, pointed a gun at her and demanded money.

Chadwick told him she had none. He pounded the gun twice on the counter.

"I got mad," said the 57-year old, pursing her lips. "The Texas part of me was challenged. So I pointed my finger and said, 'In the name of Jesus, you get out of my store. I bind you by the power of the Holy Spirit."

The gunman took a step back and told customer Kathy Vereen to drop to the floor. After she refused, Chadwick pointed her finger at the man and continued to chastise him. He walked out of the store cursing. He took nothing.

Chadwick ran out to look for license plates while Vereen called 911. The whole thing was caught on tape.

"We experienced the power of God; that's why we weren't scared," Vereen told Chadwick as they processed the incident two days later.

Chadwick said her faith stems from a Christian upbringing in Dallas. Her life continues as a series of missions, said her husband. Chadwick finds local female artists and helps sell their goods in her store.

In time of sickness, it's always prudent to seek the appropriate medical treatment from a doctor. 

However, James 5:14-15 states that during times of illness, we should focus on the Word of God and also seek help from our minister or priest by "summoning 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."

"People these days, they've forgot God and this is a sign to tell them, 'I'm still here,' said Edith Fanous, 31, who works for a local trucking company and said she has been attending St. George's since she was a little girl.

Your eyes foresaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be."

Annapolis Woman Claims Cancer Cured by Prayers to Blessed Seelos  The following excerpt is from an inspirational article written by Liam Farrell for the HometownAnnapolis.com

An Annapolis woman could hold the key to sainthood for a 19th-century priest with local connections.

Mary Ellen Heibel, a parishioner at St. Mary's Church, claims her metastasized esophageal cancer was healed after praying to the Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, a German-born priest who served as St. Mary's pastor in the 1860s.

Heibel, 71 and a devout Catholic, has been cancer-free since January 2005, even though the disease had spread to her liver, lungs, back and sternum, and medical treatment had failed.

"What else could have happened … if it isn't a miracle?" she asked.

An official inquiry board was convened Tuesday at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore.

Deacon John Sullivan Healed through Cardinal Newman's Intercession  The excerpt is from an article written by Meghan Noe.  An American deacon has described in detail how he was cured from a severe spinal condition after praying to Cardinal John Henry Newman. John Sullivan, 70, of Marshfield, Massachusetts, described the healing to American television networks just days after it was reported that Vatican theological consultors had unanimously ruled it a miracle that could pave the way for the beatification of the Victorian convert.  The complete story can be read at Catholic Online.

Do You Believe in Medical Miracles?  Carrie Davis from WSPA wrote an inspiring article about Bill Pitts, who had stage four cancer.  However, he is cancer free after stopping treatment.  The following is an excerpt from the article:

You see Bill Pitts has stage four colon cancer. Three years ago he stopped all his treatments to live out his last days enjoying time with his family and his art.

Pitts says, “When I first got the news I was devastated. Medically speaking I am not supposed to be here, but here I am.“  According to his doctor, Dr. Steve Courso, Pitts is a medical miracle.  He says, “He was here just last month and he looks great. We can’t see any signs of the cancer in him.“  Dr. Courso, who admits, “I don’t have a medical explanation. I just simply smile and realize God’s presence is in these patients.“   Bill Pitts says, “At some point they have done all they can do and at that point I believe is when God takes over in your life and that is the point I am at right now.“ 

At Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, Chaplain Carson Rogerson says he’s seen cases like Bill Pitts before. He says he believes the miracles may occur when a persons mind, body and soul all get in line.  Chaplain Carson Rogerson says, “There is evidence to say a person who has practices of their faith whether it be prayer or meditation or some kind of worship attendance tend to have stronger immune systems. They certainly have a hope that would sustain them in difficult times.“

A study done at Pacific College of Medicine found that people who received prayer were six times less likely to be hospitalized than those who didn’t have someone praying for them.  (In Matthew 21:22, Jesus said, "Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.")

Wheelchair-boy 'miraculously walks again' at memorial visit to tomb of Pope John Paul II

The following excerpt is reprinted from Mail Online of a miracle being reported as connected to Pope John Paul II:

A child crippled by a kidney tumour was able to walk again after praying at the tomb of Pope John Paul II on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the late pontiff's death it was claimed last night.  (The story was reported on April 2, 2009)

The nine-year-old Polish boy was brought to St Peter's Basilica on a pilgrimage to the grave of the Polish pope who died on April 2, 2005.

Last night Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, the former private secretary of Pope John Paul, said that after praying at the tomb in the crypt of the Rome basilica he 'suddenly' started walking again.

'Miracle' Recovery of Man from Gunshot Wound Reported by ABC News 

ABC News reported that a Rosary blessed by Pope John Paul II is being attributed to the miraculous recovery of Jory Aebly from a gunshot wound to the head.

Shortly after the shooting of February 21, 2009, hospital chaplain, Father Art Snedeker, gave Jory Aebly the rosary. In a press conference, Father Snedeker said "The first night that Jory arrived and I performed the sacrament of the sick, I also asked asked Pope John Paul to pray for Jory and to protect him." Through intercessory prayer, it is believed that Pope John Paul II was helpful in Jory's recovery. Jory also gives credit to family and everyone that prayed for him.

The Vatican is said to be investigating cases of miracles that are connected to Pope John Paul II since his passing. The Vatican is also considering possible Sainthood for Pope John Paul by examining various stories of reported miracles according to ABC News.

Hebrews 13:7 states, "Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith."

With respect to Pope John Paul II, I am reminded of Wisdom 3:7 and 9, which states, "In time of their visitation, they shall shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble. Those who trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with him in love; Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with the elect."

Healing Mass Celebration Continues throughout 2009 at World Apostolate of Fatima, USA                                                         

In 2007 and 2008, the Catholic Shrine generated public attention as a result of visitors witnessing the Miracle of the Sun on two special occasions. 

    

Whoever preaches, let it be with words of God; whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen

God's Divine Mercy aboard Flight 1549                   TheDivineMercy.org has an inspirational story regarding Fred Berretta, a passenger who was on flight 1549. In January, the aircraft made what can be described as a miraculous landing in the Hudson River. If you believe that God performs miracles today, then I encourage you to read the article by Felix Carroll.

Is it a result of providence that Fred Berretta recited a day earlier the
Chaplet of the Divine Mercy before boarding Flight 1549 on the very next day? Mr. Berretta's story is recounted with events that influenced him to pray the chaplet. Please visit the following link to read the entire story, 'God Be Merciful to Us.'
  Fred Berretta's testimony is a reminder of how miracles are still being performed today by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

In a revelation that occurred in the 1930s, Our Lord and Savior Jesus gave St. Maria Faustina Kowalska a prayer to be recited for God's mercy and requested that it be released to the whole world. The prayer became known as the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy and now is recited by many throughout the Catholic church.

During a revelation, Jesus said to St. Faustina, "I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy. Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will." (Diary of St. Faustina 687 and 1731) 

One cannot underestimate the power of prayer, especially in time of difficulty.  

Healing Mass Celebrated at World Apostolate of Fatima, USA                    The National Blue Army Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary celebrated a Healing Mass with Father Paul Ruge on February 1, and on March 9, 2009 in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.  During the Mass, the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy was recited and then followed by the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

Miracle on the Hudson - US Airways Flight 1549     

(Survivors seek meaning, new purpose after 'miracle')  According to the article from CharlotteObserver.com, many of the passengers prayed before the aircraft 'landed' in the Hudson and believe a miracle was responsible for everyone surviving. Passenger, Lori Lightner, is noted as saying it was a miracle, while Clay Presley, a Catholic, felt at peace during the most frightening moments. 

In my opinion, the Lord saved the lives of the passengers and crew of Flight 1549 by answering their prayers.  Clearly the pilot’s actions were heroic and his experience cannot be disputed for making a brave decision to land the jet into the Hudson River.  However, in scripture, we read about God’s divine hand in changing circumstances into our favor.   Isaiah 65:24 states, “Before they call, I will answer, while they are yet speaking, I will hearken to them.”

 

Photo Captures Image of an 'Angel' in Hospital Hallway 

CharlotteObserver.com reported a story on December 23, 2008 regarding fourteen year old Chelsea Banton of recovering miraculously from recurrent bouts of pneumonia.  According to the news report, she was on a respirator for nearly eight weeks while hospitalized at Presbyterian Hospital, Charlotte, NC.  Several attempts were made to wean her off the respirator without any success.  However, some are saying that reports of an Angel supposedly seen on the surveillance monitor at the hospital is responsible for her miraculous recovery.  Chelsea's mother, Colleen Banton, also took a photograph of the "angel bathed in light," appearing adjacent to the pediatric unit.  FoxNews.com also reported the story and conducted an interview with Dr. Brown on Fox and Friends regarding the miracle.  I recommend viewing the inspirational story at the following link: Caught on Camera

 

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have Confidence in You

Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy


 Message from Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Spiritual Locution of October 13, 2008 Jesus affirmed in moving forward with a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit for healing and salvation worldwide.  Jesus communicated the following: "Many will be healed and saved, and shall encompass the whole of humanity and, remembered for generations yet to come."   The locution has been shared with my spiritual advisor, Father Richard Tartaglia of Saint Mary's Church, Denville, NJ.  -Loci B. Lenar 

 

Furthermore, the Miracle of the Sun, witnessed on October 13, 2008 in New Jersey at the National Blue Army Shrine of the Immaculate Heart Mary is connected to a message that I received from Our Lord and Savior Jesus from a spiritual visitation of September 8, 1991.  The Lord not only conveyed a date of October 13 for the Miracle of the Sun to be witnessed in our present time, but communicated that "many will be healed and saved" as well.  The vision shown to me by Jesus in 1991 is unfolding and related to an era of peace foretold by Our Lady of Fatima and conveyed to three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta, during her 1917 apparitions in Fatima, Portugal.  Moreover, the event of October 13 can also be acknowledged as a Miracle of the Son (Jesus).  The message and vision imparted by Jesus was put into writing in September of 1991 and relayed to the National Blue Army Shrine, Washington, NJ.  The shrine is located on the grounds of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA.   For further details, please read my personal testimony at the following link: A Spiritual Visitation of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 

I believe 2009 will be a year of divine favor for anyone praying for the Lord's blessing and mercy to enfold their lives.  Through power of prayer, please ask Jesus and the Blessed Mother to intervene into families, marriages, and finances for healing and restoration, including salvation of loved ones.  Ask the Lord to heal medical conditions.  Pray for God's peace to enfold humanity and also pray for Christian unity.  Your prayer support on behalf of Christian-Miracles.com and my family is also appreciated.

Regardless of your religious affiliation, I would also suggest going to weekly worship services at church, while Catholics should consider attending mass and receiving the Eucharist (Holy Communion).

Please be encouraged for the Lord is in control and through steadfast prayer he will provide for your needs. 

The following is noted in Jeremiah 29:11-12, "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you," says the Lord, "plans for your welfare, not for woe!  Plans to give you a future full of hope.  When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you."  

Although God can perform miracles in our lives when we least expect it; the Lord also works through physicians in times of illness as well.  In Sirach 38:1-14 the following is conveyed, "Hold the physician in honor, for he is essential to you,  and God it was who established his profession.  From God the doctor has his wisdom, and the King provides for his sustenance.  His knowledge makes the doctor distinguished, and gives him access to those in authority.  God makes the earth yield healing herbs which the prudent man should not neglect; Was not the water sweetened by a twig that men might learn his power?  He endows men with the knowledge to glory in his mighty works, through which the doctor eases pain and the druggist prepares his medicines; Thus God's creative work continues without cease in its efficacy on the surface of the earth.  My son, when you are ill, delay not, but pray to God, who will heal you; Flee wickedness; let your hands be just, cleanse your heart of every sin; Offer your sweet-smelling oblation and petition, a rich offering according to your means.  Then give the doctor his place lest he leave; for you need him too.  There are times that give him an advantage, and he too beseeches God that his diagnosis may be correct and his treatment bring a cure."   In Mark 11:24, Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours."

 

At the Wedding of Cana, Jesus transformed drinking water into wine; one of his first miracles. 

"Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him."

 -John 2:11

A Witness to God's Signs and Wonders

On September 8, 1991, through a spiritual visitation, our Lord Jesus Christ imparted me with a personal revelation and a vision of our world Blessed in Peace.  The contents of the message are unfolding through signs, wonders, and miracles.  The Lord's plan is to move forward in our millennium and to instill His peace amongst nations, religious denominations, and people. The grace of God will lead humanity into an era of peace.

In a personal locution received in 2007, 2008, and again in 2009, Jesus communicated and repeated the following: "Now is the time to move forward, release the truth and prophesy with scripture."   The locution has been shared with my spiritual advisor, Father Richard Tartaglia.       -Loci B. Lenar 

To read my story, please visit the following links: Testimony of a Spiritual Phenomenon and Miraculous Signs: Angels and Wonders of Heaven 

The following is conveyed in Ezekiel 12: 26-28, "Thus the word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, listen to the house of Israel saying, 'The vision he sees is a long way off; he prophesies of the distant future!'  Say to them therefore: Thus says the Lord God; None of my words shall be delayed any longer; whatever I speak is final, and it shall be done, says the Lord God."  

However, we must pray for God's divine intervention and remain patient, in order for Jesus to set the stage and timing for signs, wonders, and miracles to unfold in our world.  Fervent prayer can accomplish much and change the course of history into an era of peace! 

In Matthew 18: 19-20, Jesus said: "Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

Is there intolerance to Judeo-Christian Beliefs?

Moses and the Burning Bush

Several blogs use Loci Lenar's photography from Flickr.com to illustrate a story or news item with good intentions. He appreciates their support and they have his approval to continue to do so.

However, it's been brought to Lenar's attention that some websites with an intolerance to Judeo-Christian beliefs are posting his photographs on their sites to discredit religion in general. Furthermore, inappropriate conduct that targets a person’s religious belief is nothing less then disrespectful. Therefore, permission is denied to guilty parties for inappropriate exploitation of photographs and all the images must be removed.

However, in Luke 6:27-28, we are reminded of the following, "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."

Psalm 27:1 states, The LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?  The LORD is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?

In order for people to change their wrongful ways, Our Lord Jesus calls us to pray for them daily. May Almighty God pour out the Holy Spirit and bring forth conversion and peace to everyone that has lost their way to the road of salvation.

The above photograph of the stained glass detail of Moses and the Burning Bush is one of the images in question. The photograph is the right side of the double doors leading into the entranceway of the Church of St. Joseph. The Catholic church is located on New Street in Mendham, NJ, USA.

Our Prayers are with Haiti and Chile

Faith through Christ Jesus

Our heart goes out to the people of Haiti and Chile.  Please join in prayer for God's hand of mercy to help the people to recover from the earthquakes. Thank you very much for your prayer support.

Prayer to Mitigate Natural Disasters

The Sacred Heart

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 interecede 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 as a result of the recent earthquake in Haiti. However, Chile has experienced a serious earthquake as well. Please join in prayer for those who lost their lives and for God's mercy to help the families to recovery from the devastation. 

The Lord inspired my heart to compose a prayer to help mitigate earthquakes and disasters while I was praying for the victims and familes of Haiti.  

Please do not remain complacent, join with me daily by reciting the above prayer or any prayer that you feel comfortable with! 

Thank you very much for your thoughtful consideration.     

-Loci B. Lenar

Miraculous Photo: Shield of Archangel Michael

In August of 2005, a luminous cross appeared for the first time on Lenar's backyard fence.  The same bright cross has subsequently appeared in 2006, 2007, 2008 and again on March 28, 2009 on his property.  For more details on the story and to view photograph, please visit the following link: Miraculous Signs of Angels

Pray for World Peace

Please pray daily to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to change the course of history into an era of peace.  Also pray the Holy Rosary and request the Blessed Mother to intercede on behalf of humanity.

During her 1917 apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, Our Lady of Fatima foretold of an era of peace.  For information connecting her message to scripture, please read Revelation 20: Thousand-year Reign of God's Peace.

The Miracle Prayer

I recommend reading The Miracle Prayer, written by Father Peter M. Rookey.  The Lord has gifted Father Rookey and the International Compassion Ministry with a grace of healing.  

Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Inspirational in its artistic design, the awe-inspiring stained glass window can be seen inside of Saint Margaret Catholic Church in Morristown, New Jersey. 

Do you believe in signs and wonders?  If so, then I would suggest reading A Tribute to King.

Prayer for Economic Recovery


Please pray a novena to the Infant Jesus of Prague in order to bring an end to the economic recession.  Also pray to Our Lady of Perpetual Help to intercede before the throne of God for assistance on all in need of a financial blessing.  Pray for God's mercy to enfold our world.

Divine Mercy Prayer

The Lord's blessing and grace flows through the recitation of The Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  Pray daily or in time of need! 

Signs of Archangel Michael

While traveling through the town of Netcong, located in Morris County, NJ, I stopped into The Church of St. Michael to say some prayers and snapped photographs of the beautiful display of stained glass windows and statues.  Remarkably, the image of Archangel Michael shows a colorful rainbow that appeared while photographing the statue. To read the inspirational story and to view the photograph, please visit Miraculous Signs of Archangel Michael.

Miracle of the Sun: Rays of God's Light

During a visit to the National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, I photographed Rays of God's Light inside the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.  Remarkably, the light is flowing through a stained glass window, which is a  depiction of the Miracle of the Sun, witnessed by 70,000 people in Fatima, Portugal on October 13, 1917.  The Catholic shrine is located on the grounds of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA.  To view image, please visit the following link: Rays of God's Light

Angel Stories

If you enjoy stories about angels, please do read Angels in the Barn on our website.  Caught by an Angel is another wonderful story and is posted on our blog.  Both pieces are written by Joan Wester Anderson.  She is renowned for writing inspirational stories connected to angelic visitations.  Her book "Where Angels Walk" was on the New York Times Bestseller List.

Loyola Press has released an updated edition of her book Where Miracles Happen.  The book contains eight new stories.
