Miraculous Signs of God: Shield of Archangel Michael 

 

News Story by Loci B. Lenar

On several occasions during 2005, a luminous cross with an outline of a shield appeared on our backyard fence. In 2006, the same miraculous cross was visible on Palm Sunday.

Update: On September 3, 2007, and on September 6, 2008, and again on March 28, 2009, the bright cross appeared on our property. Through discernment, it's a miraculous sign of God's angelic shield of protection through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel. I attribute the sign sent from heaven as a result of my Prayer to Jesus and Saint Michael for assistance during times of spiritual discord.

My wife Teresa and daughter Lauren checked windows and rooms and could not find any source of reflections when the cross began appearing in 2005. The interesting point is that the sun was rising behind the fence in the east, while the image appears on the front, as if the sun is shining onto the fence from the west! However, the luminous cross appeared brighter than the sun. When the image first manifested, our family had been encountering adversity and some difficulty with our son. However, the issues have since mitigated through God's spiritual presence. When encountering obstacles, prayer can have amazing and powerful results! Indeed, nothing is impossible through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.

In a problematic world of derision, our faith in prayer is necessary for God's divine intervention and protection. God's plan is designed to help validate His existence to humanity, especially at times when circumstances appear to be hopeless. 

In John 4:48, Jesus said, “Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you will never believe.”  

Throughout the bible we read about angelic visitations. In Psalm 91:1-16 we read the following about Security Under God's Protection:

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord,
"My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place, the Most High, who is my refuge, no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.

For God commands his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.

 

Updated News 

Shortly after the appearance of the luminous cross of September 3, 2007, the Lord conveyed through a spiritual locution/impartation, His Will of 'restoring stability' in our millennium and affirmed Revelation 20:1-3, "Then I saw an angel come down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a heavy chain. He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent ... and tied it up for a thousand years and threw it into the abyss, which he locked over it and sealed, so that it could no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years are completed ..." 

Through discernment, the miraculous cross is a sign to humanity of God's Will to usher in an era of peace by fulfilling Biblical prophecy with the power of Jesus Christ and shield of Archangel Michael.  However, we must prepare by joining together in prayer for God's peace and divine protection to enfold humankind and remain patient, in order for Jesus to set the stage and timing for signs, wonders, and miracles to unfold in the world.

The circumstances behind the event is a result of God imparting me with a vision of our world Blessed in Peace during a spiritual visitation on September 8, 1991. Please visit the following link to read my inspirational story: Testimony of a Spiritual Phenomenon 

Updates: On Wednesday, March 19, 2008, I visited my spiritual advisor, Father Richard Tartaglia of Saint Mary's Church, Denville, NJ. I communicated to Father Richard a message imparted to me by Jesus regarding a sign that the Lord would send with a cross similar to what appeared on my property in 2005, 2006, and 2007 in order to affirm my story and validate it as truth.

The Gloucester County Times of Woodbury, New Jersey, reported that on March 23, Easter Sunday, 9 year old Gwynna photographed a cross reflecting on a neighbor's house. Her mother and a neighbor were unable to find the source of the reflection. "I thought it was a reflection from the sun, I don't know. It came on Easter and thought that was pretty cool," Gwynna said. The story appears in the March 25, 2008 issue of the Gloucester County Times with a color photograph of the cross printed on the front page of the newspaper.

For more details on Gwynna's photograph and story, please order a copy of the March 25 issue from the Gloucester County Times at 309 S. Broad Street, Woodbury, NJ 08096. A brief version of the story with a photo appears on NJ.com at the following link:

The photograph I took in 2005 of the luminous cross was shared with my spirtual advisor directly as captured on the camera's digital memory card.  The photo of the cross was transfered onto a CD with several prints also supplied for church archives.  The material was given to Father Richard Tartaglia of Saint Mary's Church, Denville, New Jersey (USA) for his prudent and faith related assessment. He has Blessed the photograph at my request. I've known Pastor Richard for over a decade as my spiritual advisor. Pastor Richard is a source for imparting testimonial on behalf of the Lenar Family in connection to the spiritual events occurring in my life (Loci B. Lenar).

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 unfolding.

The photo is included on the website of Catholic Apparitions and Miracles at the following link:

The phenomenon was photographed with my HP PhotoSmart 945 digital camera in Mine Hill, NJ, USA.

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.

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

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.
