  On June 21-22, 2009, we posted critical information from our Lady.   It was a message urging people to prepare. (Scroll down for report.) 
  Since that post, we have been flooded with calls and emails thanking us for relaying this news.  We are deeply touched by the numbers of people who have been sending us their appreciation.  We would like to thank you  for your words of encouragement.  Your words are like fuel for our motivation, spurring us on to greater levels of service.  We are deeply grateful for your support and for the privilege of serving in this capacity.
  Among your emails, cards, and calls, some have asked a few similar questions.  We would like to address those questions now.

Has our Lady said there is an impending crisis about to occur?
  No, to our knowledge, she has not given any information about specific times, dates or locations of impending calamities.

Will you release the name of the source(s) who have given you this information?
  We will only release our source(s) when we have permission from them to do so.

What does our Lady mean "prepare your cupboards, make sure they are filled"?
  We, like you, receive this information and begin the process of prayerful discernment.   At this point, we believe that particular message may have many applications.  We are not trying to be vague, we want to answer the question.  But, perhaps the best way to do so is to tell you how we are responding to this message.
  We are preparing, spiritually and practically.  We are doing all of the things we mentioned in the spiritual preparedness segment on this website.    And, we are engaging in home preparedness for both short term and long term emergencies.  We are also strongly encouraging all of our loved ones and friends to do the same.  We include you in this group.  That is why we have given this information to you. 
  We are not, however, in a panic mode.  We are quietly going about this work, with the peace that we are following our Lady's advice.

  We hope our answers to your questions enable you to respond to our Lady's advice more fully.  We will continue to bring you up-to-the-moment information, to the best of our ability. 
  And again, please accept our most profound thanks for all of your encouragement.
  Please keep us in your prayers and know that you are always in our prayers.
  May the Alpha and the Omega, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Father of Jesus, the Eternal Father, the Father of Humanity bless us all in His Name, the Name of His Son, and the Name of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

  Based upon two highly credible sources of information, we believe our Lady is warning that the world in now in the midst of change, with the economy as one indicator.
  We believe our Lady is guiding all to now prepare for the days ahead, warning us to stock our souls and shelves with the necessary provisions.

First Steps

We Struggled To Understand
    From our first dramatic and life changing encounters with Our Lady of Emmitsburg, thirteen years ago, to this very day, we, Alan and Nikki Todd, the publishers of this site, continue to  learn new things about Love, Life and spirituality, from Our Blessed Mother.
  We have learned that:
* Our Lady of Emmitsburg exists.
* Her work in Emmitsburg is God’s work.
* God has a plan.
* Absolutely nothing can happen without God’s permission. 
* And although we don’t often understand His ways we try to, “Trust in the LORD with all [our] heart”. Proverbs 3:5
* We have also learned there is a reason for everything, and to “Be not afraid” Isaiah 43:1-2.
  
  Those foundational lessons are a tremendous gift to us, as they bring refuge in the storm.  But even so, we struggle in our humanness. 
  In particular, we struggled to understand why, in a world so confused; in a nation steeped in the culture of death; during a time when the very fiber of the sanctity of the family is under attack; as well as, the sanctity of human life itself; why did the Archdiocese of Baltimore act to essentially silence the messages of Our Lady of Emmitsburg, through Gianna Sullivan? 
  Why would a movement, in the church, work to silence beautiful holy words from heaven, which help to deepen people’s relationship with God, during such dark and difficult times in our nation, the world, and the Church? 
  In these times, it appears that we are often called to find reason in decisions that seem beyond reason.
  We struggled to understand, with our small finite minds, the ways of The Infinite God.
  As we read that the Marian Prayer Group Meeting, at Lynfield, was suspended, we continued to pray to have eyes to see and ears to hear what God wanted us to do next.    
  And then, during a conversation about Our Lady of Emmitsburg, the words of a beautiful Franciscan Sister from Africa, became a candle in the chaos, leading our hearts and minds onto a clear path.  She told us a little story that has the potential to change the world. 
     She began by saying:

   
Her deep dark almond eyes sparkled as she went on to relay the story .

  “A number of years ago, in my country, we began to have a Charismatic Prayer Group meeting.  In time, the crowds grew very large, multitudes began to come.  The prayer group grew each month.
  Then, based on erroneous information, the bishop was forced to make a decision.  He decided to stop the Charismatic Prayer Group from meeting.  We were restricted from coming together to pray publicly. 
  It’s always very sad when the people’s freedom to pray, in the way they choose, is restricted.  However, we were obedient to the bishop.  We did not meet publicly to pray together. 
  But, our hearts burned with the fire of worship for God.  So, we began to pray, just as we did at the prayer group, but privately in our homes. 
  Then, we began to receive the gift of courage, Consequently, we began to invite our neighbors to join us. 
  And after awhile, instead of 800 members praying at a Public Charismatic prayer group, we were given the gift of 800 private Charismatic Prayer Groups, each with growing members all over our country!  The suspension became an incubator in which the prayer group grew beyond our wildest dreams.  God had a plan. 
  Sadly, the bishop died. 
  But his successor, after seeing the good fruit that came from the private home Charismatic Prayer Groups lifted the suspension of the group from meeting publicly, on Pentecost Sunday. And now, the church of Africa is alive with Charismatic prayer and joy!”
  As Sister spoke, we knew the Holy Spirit was speaking through her and was giving us the remedy to the suspension of the 1st Sunday, Marian Prayer Group at Lynfield.
  We prayed about this conversation for a while…

It’s Time!
  Since 1989, Gianna Tallone Sullivan and her family have been subjected to some of the worst behaviors of human nature.  They have been ridiculed, treated unfairly, treated with malice and mean spiritedness and have had to suffer through hateful and evil acts perpetrated against them.  It has been a difficult mission, to say the least.  They have endured all of this to help our Lady with her special plan in Emmitsburg. 
  Now, it’s time for those of us, who have benefited from the messages, which have flowed from the apparitions at Emmitsburg, to bring forth the fruit of those messages to the world.  
* It’s time to lift the bushel basket from the Light that our Lady, through the power of the Holy Spirit, has planted within our hearts!  
* It’s time to bring what we have gained through the messages of Our Lady of Emmitsburg to the world, a world that is in such need of what we have been given.  
* It’s time to bring Our Lady of Emmitsburg’s plan to the world, in our own unique ways, ways that are as unique as the hundreds of pieces of a shattered mirror.
 

  
  The World Wide Prayer Group of Our Lady of Emmitsburg is currently being set up as a prayer group whose participants pray privately for the intercession of Our Lady of Emmitsburg throughout the month. 
  On the 1st Sunday of each month, participants all over the world, in the privacy of their own homes, will join together in private prayer services.  In this powerful private prayer incubator, the seeds that have been planted by Our Lady of Emmitsburg will be enabled to grow.   For details, scroll to the bottom of this article, or Click Here.
   In addition to the new prayer group, another group, Ambassadors of Our Lady of Emmitsburg is currently being set up.  Members of this group are tasked with studying, reflecting upon, and living out; as well as, spreading the messages, which have flowed from the Emmitsburg apparitions, given to Gianna Talone Sullivan.  It is also tasked with promoting the The World Wide Prayer Group of Our Lady of Emmitsburg.
   Each month, we will be providing Ambassadors with suggestions, materials and inspirations aiding in the effort of bringing these messages to the world. 
  Because those who follow Our Lady of Emmitsburg are located all over the world, we will be utilizing Internet, email, US Postal mail to connect with members.  We will also be utilizing new, easy, and free telephone technology that will allow us to personally interact with groups of people all over the world at the same time.  For details, scroll to the bottom of this article, or Click Here.

These are the first steps. 
  As the coming week(s) unfold, we will be adding more to these plans.  Please check this site often, to stay updated.

  As we have worked for Our Lady of Emmitsburg over these years, we have spoken to a great number of people who have expressed a desire to get more involved in spreading the messages of Our Lady of Emmitsburg, to you we once again say, “It’s time!”
   To those of you who have not verbalized a desire to get more involved in this effort, but have felt the tug of  Our Lady of Emmitsburg in your heart  to do so, we once again say, “It’s time!”  For those of you who are just meeting Our Lady of Emmitsburg, we say WELCOME!  Join us as we endeavor to bring messages of tremendous importance to the world, “Its time!” 
This is an EXCITING endeavor!!!  All are welcome!!!  

Some Necessary Words of Caution
  Finally, we must speak to you with some words of caution:  Always remember that whenever individuals begin to build up the Kingdom of God on earth, the enemy wants to destroy the effort.   
    Plan for all of this; be proactive by staying prayerful, and by doing all you can to stay in the state of grace.  In this way, the Holy Spirit will guide you along the right paths.
  Flee from those who attempt to restrict your freedom, especially the freedom to pray in the manner you choose.  God has given the gift of free will, no one has the lawful right to intrude.  May God have mercy on those who do.  Pray for them.  
   Always remember, “Be not afraid”.  Isaiah 43:1-2

  On June 1, 2008, Our Lady of Emmitsburg gave the world a prophetic message about the future of humanity, about the future of the world.
  We pray that the Holy Spirit will descend, in a special way, upon all who receive this message.

Public Message of Our Lady of Emmitsburg
To the world, through Gianna Talone Sullivan,
June 1, 2008

  My dear little children, praised be Jesus!
  Little ones, thank you for coming to pray.  Know how much God loves you.  He has given you tremendous gifts.
  Children, for the last 20 years I have oftentimes spoken of “change.”  I have told you that there is no time for fear; there is only time for change.  You must know by now that I have recently spoken of an arising of “two suns.”  When you see the two suns on the horizon, you must know that this is a time of change, a time of this new beginning about which I have spoken to you before.  After you see the two suns, there is only a short time before you will see a tremendous change in weather.  After this, as you know, there are more changes to come.
  Children, God did not create only the Earth.  God is the Creator of the cosmos, with its many galaxies, many orbits, different stars and different planets.  God is the Creator!  There are other planets like earth, far beyond your understanding.
  I can tell you this:  Even your governments and the Church authorities already have knowledge of the stars aligning and its implications upon you.  You must not fear but must be prepared, primarily spiritually. 
  After awhile, you will see a time when there is another body in orbit around your solar system, coming between Earth and the Sun and leading to tremendous devastation.  Approximately 60-70% of the world’s population, as you know it, will cease.  Of those who survive, 60% of them could die of disease and starvation. 
  Prayer is the answer!  Prayer can mitigate much of anything to come.  Love and unity must be at the forefront, not survival of the fittest.  But I can assure you that secretly those in governmental positions around the world and Church authorities all know.  As your Mother and with you as children of God, it is my duty to forewarn you and to draw you to my Son for protection.
  Look not too far before you will see two suns.  Make my words known to all people:  Life is important because God loves you.  Those who are in control of the financial world think differently.  But I your Mother know what true Life is! 
  So prepare, spiritually prepare.  You will always be with my Son if you trust.  God has a special plan, a new beginning!  Look to Him; and do not fear, but love with all your heart.
  I look to you, and I answer your prayers.  Even if you are a sinner, and even if you were wrong, I come for your intercession.  Now you must remove your “self” from your desires and look to help all people.
  Peace to you (fading whisper).

Reflection On the June 1, 2008 Message
Of Our Lady of emmitsburg
By Fr. John B. Wang
  Our Heavenly Mother is issuing an extremely serious warning concerning coming cataclysmic events as She outlines the scenario.  It seems that our Creator will soon renew, remodel or reshape the earth and its inhabitants as predicted repeatedly for many years.  Now the designated time has come.  The process will be drastic and painful, but the end result will be glorious and paradisiacal.  Death and destruction will be followed by a new world, a new society and a new humanity of love, faith, peace and harmony.
  Our Mother and Queen tells us not to fear, but to trust in God’s Wisdom and Love.  We should be concerned about our eternal salvation more than our temporary survival, our spiritual life more than our earthly existence.  PRAYER IS THE ANSWER.  So pray, pray, pray!  Prayer can mitigate what is to come.  Be spiritually ready and prepared.  Spread this important message to help all people.

Father Alfred Pehrsson

 In his recently released testimony, Father Alfred R. Pehrsson, C.M., who was pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Emmitsburg, Maryland, during the initial phase of our Lady's visitation in Emmitsburg, 1993-1996, reveals a collection of beautiful spiritual and supernatural events followed by an articulate defense, both of which serve to affirm the apparitions of Our Lady of Emmitsburg,
to Gianna Sullivan.

  Read or listen to the captivating witness of the priest who was either present during, or received first hand reports of, the wonders and blessings that occur when Heaven opens and God's grace spills upon pilgrims through Our Lady of Emmitsburg.
  Father Pehrsson's testimony is truly a special gift for those who are discerning or those defending the matter of Our Lady of Emmitsburg. In a clear and easy to understand manner, this holy priest speaks out: He chronicles personal reports; as well as, reports of individuals whose lives have changed, by God's grace, through encounters with Our Lady of Emmitsburg. 
  The pencil sketch of the Virgin Mary (above) was drawn by National Geographic artist Peter Bianchi. The portrait was drawn from mystic Gianna Sullivan's description of our Lady, as seen during the apparitions. The depiction was given to Cardinal William Keeler, Baltimore, MD, by Fr. Alfred Pehrsson in 1995. It was received with complimentary remarks. (See page 9 of written text for more info.
