I have mentioned these visions before, but it’s time I share them with the world. I must now as I have been instructed by God,
“O fragile human, ashes of ashes, and filth of filth! Say and write what you see and hear. But since you are timid in speaking, and simple in expounding, and untaught in writing, speak and write these things not by a human mouth, and not by the understanding of human invention, and not by the requirements of human composition, but as you see and what them on high in the heavenly places in the wonders of God. Explain these things in such a way that the hearer, receiving the words of his instructor, may expound them in those words, according to that will, vision and instruction. Thus therefore, O human, speak these things that you see and hear, And write them not by yourself of another human being, but by the will of Him Who knows, sees and disposes all things in the secrets of His mysteries.”2
This happened in my forty-third year of living on this earth. Heaven opened up to me and I was completely enveloped by a fiery light in brain, heart, and body. It didn’t burn, instead it warmed me, much like the sun warming my face on a summer day. In this moment I knew that I was to share my visions with more than the few people I already have. God Himself told me to. The world must know, so I will write them down. My visions will be written down and shared for all to know. As the heavens told me, “Cry out therefore and write thus!”3 I have also decided to start writing my own music, much like the chant I’ve heard my entire life in the church, but I think there are ways this music can support the church’s values without being a part of the Mass. Maybe there are even ways to change aspects of the music to show praise for and dedication to God even more.
