Miracle of the Sun: A Gift and Personal Testimony of a Spiritual Visitation of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

By Loci B. Lenar

Miracle of the Sun is a personal revelation and vision that I am releasing publicly with testimony of a spiritual encounter involving Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

On September 8, 1991, I witnessed a solar phenomenon (Miracle of the Sun) at approximately 6:00 PM eastern standard time in northern New Jersey while traveling through the town of Dover into Wharton.

Prior to my divine encounter with the Holy Spirit, 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. In John 4:48,  Jesus said about miracles, “Unless you people see 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 only for about three minutes.  Interestingly, my eyes were not affected by 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, Jesus 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 National 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.  The message relayed to the National 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 at the end of December of the same year.  This of course can be connected to the message of Our Lady of Fatima from her apparitions of 1917 in Fatima, Portugal. As a messenger of heaven, Our Lady conveyed God's plan for salvation and conversion to three shepherd children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta.  Our Lady also said to the children, "In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph, Russia wil be converted and a period of peace will be granted to the world."

Furthermore, the Lord imparted a message of a great sign to unfold for humanity in order to validate the existence of God and my story.  Jesus communicated an official day of October 13 for the Miracle of the Sun to be witnessed by humanity.

In addition to conveying a date of October 13 for the Miracle of the Sun to be witnessed, Jesus also communicated in his visitation of 1991 that "many will be healed and saved."  God's word is unfolding in our Millennium.

Updates and Affirmations: 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.catholicculture.org/news/features/index.cfm?recnum=31648

In a spiritual locution of 2007 and 2008, the Lord conveyed the following: 'Now is the time to move forward, release the truth and prophesy your story with scripture.' 

Furthermore, God's miraculous sign came to fulfillment as promised by Jesus on October 13, 2008 at the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA.  Visitors were blessed to witness the Miracle of the Sun at the National Blue Army Shrine, located on the grounds of the World Apostolate of Fatima in Washington, New Jersey, while celebrating the 91st anniversary of the 1917 apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima.  In a spiritual locution received on October 13, 2008, Jesus communicated that "Many will be healed and saved, and shall encompass the whole of humanity and, remembered for generations yet to come."  Moreover, one may now refer to the spiritual events as a Miracle of the Son (Jesus).

(In 2009, I gave updated information regarding my story to Father Paul Ruge, the new spiritual director of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA).

The Bible also conveys the following in Acts 2:17-18: "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 conveying 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 Millennium 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 8:23: "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 for the conversion and salvation of humanity.  Whatever the rationale, the event was awe-inspiring and changed me spiritually as I've noted in my poem,
Miracle of the Sun

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 5:14-15 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 for all the gifts and spiritual wonders.  I give thanks to the Blessed Mother (Our Lady of Fatima) for her intercession and help before the throne of God. 

My witnessing the Miracle of the Sun was conveyed during 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 inspired by Our Lord to write a Millennium Prayer for world peace as a result of witnessing several spiritual wonders.  In Psalm 37: 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."   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!

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.

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.

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.
