Today I had a wonderful experience. My son in-law showed me a video where it was
represented the life of us, the sinners. In one side, it was Jesus, giving us
happiness, taking care of us since we are born and in the other side, the devil with
all the sins that attract us and separate us from God. Almost at the end, the girl who
was representing us, the sinners, wanted to come back to God, but the devils with
all the sins, were holding her. But the one who personified Jesus got in the middle
of all the devils to save her and he was beaten in the place of the sinner. At the end,
Jesus triumphed and the devils died. Then Jesus and the sinner, were singing,
dancing and enjoying the wonders of God again. This video moved me greatly and I
cried because this is a reality.
When I left my daughter's house, I was crying and telling God that I am not the
person that I should be and that I love HIM very much, when suddenly, while I
turned the street to go home, I saw in the sky, a beautiful rainbow, shining with
beautiful colors as a sign from God to make me feel HIS wonderful love. Thank you
my Awesome God!

Yesterday, Sunday September 9, it was my beloved son's birthday. One of the
intentions of the Holy Mass was to pray for him. Yesterday, like it has been
happening a few times when the Mass is for my son, the Spanish lector didn't come
and I was asked to proclaim the Word of God. This is for me a miracle because the
lectors always come to proclaim. It's unusual if a lector doesn't come.
The first time that happened, I was happy to be part of the Holy Mass dedicated to
my son and I gave thanks to God because I felt it was a special gift. But now, after
three or four times that has happened, I realize that God is truly giving me the
loving gift to be part of the Holy Masses dedicated to my son. I feel that my beloved
son is asking the Lord to allow me to participate because he knows that I would
understand the loving message that I receive each time.
Besides, I was the person who said the petitions and for this reason, I was who
asked the congregation to pray for my beloved son.
Something important to mention is that the person who selects the hymns for the
Holy Mass, selected the theme of my web, "JESUS MY REFUGE" for my daughter to
sing it. At the end, I asked her if she did it in purpose. She answered "No." She
didn't know it was my Hernancito's birthday.
I know that all these "casualties" are not "casualties," they are truthfully miracles of
love that God granted me. Thank you Beloved Lord, thank you son of my heart!

I will start by saying that although I know it’s not right, many times I worry a lot for my
son Emmanuel because I am traumatized since I lost my son Hernan. A few days ago,
I asked God to allow my son Hernan to accompany my son Emmanuel to protect him
and guide him. I also asked God to grant Emmanuel a dream with his brother so he
wouldn’t feel so lonely. I didn’t say a word to Emmanuel about this, but
approximately two days later, he called me to tell me a beautiful dream he had with
his brother Hernan.
He said that in his dream, my son Hernan arrived home very happy. He also said that
they hug and Emmanuel got the message that Hernan came back to live with him
again!!!!!!!!
It’s incredible how God answered my prayer so quickly! Moreover, as a confirmation
of this miracle, today, my son Emmanuel called me to tell me that he feels the
presence of his brother, accompanying him and helping him. It was then that I told
him that I had prayed to God to allow my son Hernan to accompany him and protect
him. My son Emmanuel kept quiet for an instant. Like he was impressed and then he
said, see how God answers you so fast? Thank you Sweet Lord!

Today, I want to share a wonderful miracle that happened to me yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday, I was feeling sick at work. I just wanted to go to bed. When I got home at
about 4:10 in the afternoon, only my mom was there. She asked me if I wanted to eat
something and I told her that I was not hungry and that I was feeling sick. I went
directly to my bedroom and my mom went to hers to watch TV. The house was silent.
Suddenly, I started hearing beautiful and unique music. I was surprised because a
second before, everything was quiet. So, I got up to try to find that music. I went to
the living room and there it was! One of the musical boxes that my beloved son
gave to his father and me was playing its beautiful music!
As soon as I saw the musical box playing, I started screaming and calling my mom to
come soon. When she came, the musical box was still playing, and it lasted for a
long time. Then, I asked her if she had set it to play and she denied it immediately.
There was nobody else at home and this musical box is next to my beloved Hernan’s
picture! This is simply amazing! When I realized that the box started playing by itself,
I started crying and touching my son’s picture. My mom cried too and we were both
amazed.
It could have started playing anytime during the whole day, but it didn’t. It seemed
like it was waiting for me to come home to start playing. I immediately felt my
beloved son’s presence and I thanked him for this beautiful gift of love. I know in my
heart this is his gift to me for the proximity of my birthday next week.
I haven’t had a dream of him for a long time and this hurts me, but my beautiful child
finds ways to show me how much he loves me.
I thank God so much for this wonderful miracle because I know that HE is the one
who allows my beautiful child to show me his love. Thank you My Lord, thank you
Blessed Virgin Mary, thank you my beautiful child!

Last night while I was trying to sleep next to my two year-old granddaughter, who
didn't want to sleep, she suddenly sat on the bed and said: "Uncle is here, uncle is
here." She doesn't know other uncle, but my beloved Hernan for the pictures I have
around the house. So, I asked her, "where mija, tell me where is uncle?" After a little
while, she pointed at the left side of the bed, where I sleep!
I don't know if she saw him or if she just said it, but it made me very happy just to
think that my beloved Hernan was next to me.
November 19, 2006
Today, it was my turn to serve as a Eucharistic minister at the 7:00 pm mass. For
some reason, I started feeling nervous, but I tried to not pay attention to my worries.
When I was giving the "Holy Blood of Christ" a lady held the cup and after she drank,
she let it go. I was not holding it because we were told to give the people the cup
for them to drink, so when I saw that the cup was falling down, a miracle happened. I
don't know how, but the cup didn't fall, I was able to hold it with my right hand!!!
I have been thinking, and thinking, and I just can't understand how I was able to
catch it. Nevertheless, it is a real miracle and I am so thankful to God. Do you
imagine if the cup had fell? Thank you My Awesome Lord!
November 18, 2006
Today, I was feeling upset when I got to the cemetery. I sat for a little while next to
my beloved son's sepulcher and when I looked at the tree that gives him some
shade, there was a beautiful white dove resting on a branch. She seemed to be
looking towards me.
This is a miracle to me because I haven't seen a white dove for a long time and if I
see them, they are flying high and far from where I sit. Also, she was a silence
remainder of the two white doves that were at my son's funeral which gave me a
divine sign of God's love.

Today, I feel so blessed and loved by God, the Blessed Mother Mary and my beloved
son for the wonderful gift I got yesterday.
I was putting papers away from my desk when I found an envelope with a card
inside. I opened it and what a wonderful surprise I got when I saw it! It’s a card full of
love that my beloved son Hernan did for me. It doesn’t have the date, but I think it
was the last Mother’s Day that he spent with me. I don’t know why I never saw it, at
least, I don’t remember seeing it before. I know this because I would have kept it as
the most precious treasure after he left. Maybe he did it and put it on my desk for
me, but for some reason I never saw it and he didn’t ask me. Maybe he assumed that
I saw it and he forgot about it. I don’t know what it really happened, only God and my
son know, but it doesn’t matter because I greatly believe that God planned it that
way to give me comfort now, when the anniversary of his departure is so close.
August 11 is the anniversary of his departure and I always cry a lot when that date is
coming. These last days, I have been very sad and my poor heart is feeling the pain
too fresh. It almost feels like when I got the phone call to let me know that he has
been killed. Years pass by and my pain is there. Sometimes it’s hiding, but
sometimes it’s simply unbearable. That is the reason why I know that God planned it
this way. He wanted to give me comfort and strength to keep me going. Thank you
my Sweet Lord, thank you so much, thank you my Blessed Mother Mary, thank you
my beautiful child, God bless you eternally………..!

Today, in the afternoon, I went to a church class and at the end of the class, we hug
each of the ladies in our small group. When I went to bed, I started thinking of the
hug that one of the ladies gave me. I felt almost like my son’s hug and I don’t know
why. Thinking on this hug, made me remember the day when a lady at church,
suddenly told me that my beloved son sent me a hug and she gave me a loving
embrace. I didn’t know this lady, or at least, I didn’t remember her and it was a great
surprise for me, but at the same time, it gave me happiness, just to imagine that my
son was hugging me through her. When I was thinking of all this, my cell phone,
started illuminating, without any reason, the way it does, when I feel my beloved son’
s presence. It was exactly 9:00 p.m.
I know in my heart that this is a sign from my beloved son. I know that he hugged me
today once more through the lady in my class. I feel that the illumination of my
phone was a confirmation that my son truly hugged me through the embrace of
these two ladies. I know that The Lord is so full of mercy and love and HE is allowing
my beloved son to send me signs of his pure love. Thank you Lord, thank my
beautiful child.

Sunday was for me, a blessed and beautiful day. I have been getting prepared to
become a Eucharistic minister and for years, this has been one of my dreams. After a
long time, I was called to start giving the Blood of Christ on Mondays and that is a
miracle that happened to me some time ago. But for some reason, I haven’t been
certified to be a real Eucharistic minister, so I haven’t been called to give the Body
of Christ on Sundays. On Sunday, April 2nd, before Mass started, I prayed to The
Lord. I told HIM that I wanted to serve HIM as a Eucharistic minister. I also told him to
allow me to serve HIM whenever HE wanted me. When it was the time for the five
serves to go and help the priest, I was suddenly called to go and help too. Since I
was the last one to go to the altar, the other four gave the Blood of Christ and I was
chosen to give the Body of Christ!!!!!!!!
This is my wonderful miracle! The Lord answered my prayer immediately and granted
me the privilege to give HIS Body, Alleluia!
The whole time that I was serving, I was so full of the Holy Spirit. I felt so much love
and I also felt the people's love. I feel this is the ministry that I am called to do and I
thank God so much for allowing me to serve HIM.
March 20, 2006
Yesterday something strange happened to me. I was tired, so I took a short nap at
about 3:00 pm. I must have been sleeping for 15 minutes, when suddenly, I woke up
and something made me turn to see the screen of my computer. The image that the
screen was showing was Jesus face and it was very beautiful to wake up and see
HIS Holy Face in the whole screen. I know this was not a coincidence because I have
hundreds of pictures in my computer and when I woke up, it was this especial face
of Jesus the one that was showing. I only worried a little bit because this image of
Jesus has tears in his eyes. Is my Loving Jesus trying to tell me something? I just
pray that HE will protect and bless all my loved ones.
This is the Jesus face image that my screen was showing yesterday.
Continuing with my strange story of yesterday afternoon, I fell asleep again after I
saw the beautiful face of Jesus. I am not sure how long I slept, when I heard in my
dreams: "It's 4:00 o'clock." I woke up and looked at my clock, it was exactly 4:00! I am
amazed about this and I can't explain it to myself, but I feel that somebody woke me
up at exactly 4:00 pm. There was no one in my room and the door was closed.
February 27, 2006
I am very happy to share with all of you, a great miracle that The Lord just granted
me.
To start, I will tell you something about my son Emmanuel.
My son Emmanuel is the youngest of my three children. When I got pregnant of him,
my husband and I went to a prayer group and offered him to Our Lord before he was
born, so we decided to call him “Emmanuel” which means “God is with US.” I know
for a fact that The Lord has always had him in HIS Holy Hands because my son has
been in danger many times, but The Lord has saved him all the time, thank GOD! One
time, when he was about four months old, I put him to sleep on a mattress and I went
to another room to have some food. A few minutes later, the owner of the house, my
friend, went to the bedroom where Emmanuel was sleeping and brought him to me.
As soon as she gave him to me, the roof, where my son Emmanuel was sleeping, fell
on the mattress! Isn’t that a great miracle from God? Just a minute before, my son
was sleeping there, but God moved the lady of the house to grab my baby and bring
him back to me safe!
Another time, when he was about 8 months, we moved to Acapulco to live close to
my family. We had a small piece of land where we were building a small hut. We did
not have almost any thing like water, or a floor, just ground. Our roof was just rustic
pieces of some material. One night, my husband, my two older kids and I were
sleeping on a bed. Close to us, there was a cradle where my son Emmanuel was
sleeping. It was about midnight, when Emmanuel started crying. My husband and I
didn’t want to get up, we thought that he wanted to have his bottle and we didn’t
want him to drink anything during the night. He didn’t stop crying, he cried so hard
and for so long, that I had to get up and check on him. I turned the light on and while
I was checking him, my husband stayed on bed, looking at the roof. Suddenly, he
yielded very hard, telling me to move the baby out of there. A big tarantula was on
the roof, at the very top of Emmanuel’s crib, like ready to jump on him! My husband
grabbed a big wood stick and killed it. Then, without doing anything to my son, we
went to sleep and he fell asleep like an angel. Isn’t this amazing? My son just woke
up feeling the danger of something and didn’t stop crying until the danger was
gone. Praise The Lord!
Emmanuel has always been the most restless of my three children. He likes
adventure, spend time with his friends, go out a lot, etc, etc. Emmanuel is a free
spirit. This is the way he uses to describe himself.
Before I go on with the story of my great miracle, I want to share that right now,
while I am writing about my miracle, my phone rang and I immediately thought that it
was my son Emmanuel who was calling me and YES, it was him, somehow I felt it!
Okay, back to my miracle.
Emmanuel has always been the greatest of my worries. He started going out since
he was a teenage. Sometimes he didn’t come back home till about 5:00 in the
morning and I spent nights full of anguish and desperation. My other two kids didn’t
worry me, they were always at home, studying in their rooms. They didn’t like to go
out. But Emmanuel made it up for the other two. He has been in about two or three
car accidents among other things. One day, I decided that I was going to start
praying the rosary for my children. I have been praying the rosary for years now and
I always ask The Lord to guide my children to HIS path. We had also tried to send
Emmanuel to different spiritual, Christian retreats, but he never wanted to. A few
months ago, Emmanuel started going to a place to cut his hair. Over there, he met
some people who knew my son Hernan and know my daughter Vanessa. About a
month or two ago, one of these persons, asked him if he would go to a Christian
retreat. Emmanuel immediately answered YES!
This retreat started last Thursday Feb 23 and it finished on Sunday Feb 26. My son
Emmanuel went to this Christian retreat and he came back home last night full of the
Holy Spirit. He loves God with all his heart and he wants to work for HIM! One of the
first things he did last night, was to wash our feet and kiss them. He said that
nobody told him to do this, he wanted to do it as a sign of the love and gratitude he
has for all we have done for him. I fell on my knees and cried to my Lord in great
gratitude for this great miracle HE has granted me. This is a dream come true! Thank
you My Loving God, thank you so much, I love you Lord with all my heart! Thank you
Blessed Mother Mary for praying for us to Jesus, your beloved son.

I want to share a few things that for me, contain miracles from God and they are
answers to my prayers. My son Emmanuel is my youngest child. My husband and I
offered him to God when I was pregnant of him. He has always been restless and
likes adventure. My son Hernan was always worried for him and he tried to advice
him all the time. Emmanuel always looked up to Hernan and he always felt his
protection and support. He could always talk to his older brother about anything.
When my beloved Hernan went to Heaven, my son Emmanuel was devastated and
until this day, he cries for the absence of his brother.
When we lost my son Hernan, we were devastated. My son Emmanuel came to me
crying and told me: “Mom, I am sorry that it wasn’t me, who died because I am the
one who makes you worry.” I told him then, that I didn’t want any of my kids to leave
before me and I hugged him and cried together.
My son Emmanuel had some health problems when he was a little boy and we were
very afraid that he would never become a dad because of those health problems.
But God had other plans and a few months after we lost Hernan, Emmanuel
announced to us that he would become a dad pretty soon. Emmanuel’s baby came to
give strength, happiness and hope to all of us, but especially to Emmanuel who
started changing his old ways of living after his baby born. God granted us a great
blessing with the arrival of this baby because my son Emmanuel has a purpose to
live and to live the best he can for his baby girl. This is a great miracle to me
because now, my son Emmanuel has great faith in God and although he is a sinner
like me and everyone else, he has the desire to become a better person for his little
girl.
Adding a little bit more to my story, last night, I was going to work late, but for some
reason, I didn’t, so I came home at my regular time. A little later, my son Emmanuel
came and he started talking to me about different things. While we were talking, I
got deeply touched for the wisdom that his words reflected and his great heart.
While I was listening of what he was saying, my eyes started watering of happiness
to see the beautiful young man that my son Emmanuel is becoming. I guess my son
Emmanuel needed to talk to somebody and I was there to listen to him. That is the
reason, I believe, I didn’t work late. I noticed that he was much moved and his eyes
had tears too.
One of the things that Emmanuel told me last night, it’s that he wants to try to go to
church more often and to work in any issues he has, to become a better person. He
also told me something he did when he was in high school. He said that one day,
instead of going to school, he went to a house with some friends. Over there, there
was a man very ill. This person had aids. My son, who was about 17 years old, for
some reason started talking to this man about God and HIS love. The man was
impressed that a young kid would talk to him about God and after listening to my
son, the man, deeply touched, said, between other words: “I feel free now.” My son
gave him a hug and left. A few days later, this man died……………….!
After I heard the story about this man, I told my son how proud I am of him. My son
Hernan did a lot of things like this too, but I never knew until after he died, when his
friends came and told me all the hearts he touched, during his short life. Same as my
boys, my daughter Vanessa has also a great heart and once more, I realize that I am
very blessed with the children that God gave me. I don’t deserve them. I was not the
best mom for any of them, but God is full of love, mercy and compassion and has
blessed me with them. Thank you Lord for my miracles of YOUR Immense love!
December 29, 2005
Today, like everyday, I went to mass before going to work. But today it was more
special because I had a beautiful vision. After I received Jesus in the Eucharist, I
knelt down to pray. While I was talking to My Lord Jesus, I was looking at HIM and
His cross at the altar. Then, I close my eyes, and the image of HIM and His cross,
transform in a beautiful white dove with the wings open. I believe in my heart that it
was The Holy Spirit. When I saw this beautiful vision, I felt that I was going to faint
and my whole body was full of something beautiful that I can’t describe with words.
Thanks be to God!
December 6, 2005
On Friday Dec 2nd, I was watching a story in TV about a mother giving her son a
loving hug. I started crying, thinking that I can’t hug my beloved son anymore. After
that day, I started praying to My Lord to let me hug my son again. On Monday Dec
5th, I went to mass and when we started giving the peace to everybody, a lady came
to me and told me: “I am giving you this hug from your son. He wants you to be
happy again, the way you were before he left.” Then she gave me a very loving and
strong hug that made me feel the immense love that exists between my beloved
Hernan and me. I praise The Lord for this miracle of Love!
November 30, 2005
Yesterday something happened that made us believe it's God's answer to my
daughter's question.
I found a good opportunity to buy something that I have been trying to obtain, but
they asked me for money that I don't have at this moment and I didn't want to let this
opportunity go. I told my daughter about it and she said she would ask her husband.
She went home and talked to her husband. He agreed in letting me borrow that
money. So, after my daughter finished the conversation with her husband, she
stood up by her kitchen window looking at her rose bushes. Suddenly, a
hummingbird came to drink to her rose bushes. While the hummingbird was drinking
from the roses, my daughter did a small prayer and asked The Lord to make the
hummingbird come to her window, if it was all right to use the money to buy what I
wanted to buy. Immediately after she finished her prayer, the hummingbird came to
her window and remained there flying and looking at her for a little while. Then, he
left. My daughter called me immediately to tell me about the beautiful miracle that
God granted her. The Lord is Awesome!
November 3, 2005
For some people what I am going to describe is only a "coincidence," but for me, it's
a "Miracle of Love."
Yesterday, Nov 2nd, was the day of the Death. This is the way we call it in Acapulco,
my birth place. The day of the Death, I usually spend the whole day at the cemetery.
Yesterday, I had to work, but I asked my boss to let me leave early. I arrived at the
cemetery at about 4:00 in the afternoon. It was packed! There were no spaces to
park. People were parking outside, far from the cemetery. I didn't want to park
outside, so I drove to my usual parking space and what a surprise! The space where
I park every day, it was empty! It was the only one and it seemed to be reserved just
for me. My mom and I couldn't believe it, but my parking space was the only space
free to park. We couldn't understand why, nobody parked there. We know though,
that it was meant for us. Thank you Lord, thank you my precious Hernan for saving it
for your earthly mother.
July 5, 2005
Today, my youngest son called me to tell me something that happened to him. He
started explaining to me that yesterday, he was setting a beautiful statue of an
Indian which belonged to my son Hernan, close to his baby’s crib. Then, he tried to
put a rosary around this statue. When he was trying to put it, the rosary fell and it
formed the shape of a heart around the statue. My son Emmanuel immediately
thought of this as a sign from his dearly loved brother.
Today, he put his baby in her crib and he forgot that the statue, the rosary and many
small things were close to the crib where her baby girl was, and he left the room for
just a minute. When he remembered that he had left these things close to the crib,
he came back running just to find out that his one year old baby girl was playing with
the rosary. She didn’t touch any of the small attractive, colorful things that could
have been a great danger for her; she just grabbed the rosary, the same rosary that
the previous day, fell from Emmanuel’s hands to form the shape of a heart……….
When Emmanuel realized what it had just happened, he started to cry full of deep
emotion because he knew that his loving brother was watching over his daughter
like her guardian angel. Thank you Lord for allowing my beloved son to be our angel!
June 9, 2005
I work troubleshooting computer and data problems and today I got a data problem
that I didn't know how I was going to fix because it looked very complicated. Well,
The Lord, My Blessed Mother and my beloved son are watching over me. After a
while, when I was trying to analyze the problem to find the solution, I typed a query
to get the information from my database and suddenly, I looked at my screen and the
word that I had typed by "mistake" was "Pray." When I saw what I had typed, I stop
for just a moment and I PRAYED! A few minutes later, I found the solution to this
complicated problem that I thought it was going to take me hours to solve! Thank
you Lord, thank you Blessed Mother, thank you my beloved son!
Today also, when I was brushing my hair while I was thinking of the dream I had with
my son, an empty conditioner tube fell by itself without any reason to fall. I said,
"Mijito, I love you more than ever."
April 27, 2005
Like I said in my miracle of April 15, this beautiful hummingbird comes almost
everyday when I am at my son's sepulcher, but yesterday, it was more especial than
usual. I have been putting pictures in my photos page, so I have been crying a lot.
Last night, after work, I went to the cemetery. The afternoon was beautiful and fresh,
but my soul was crying for the absence of my precious son. I was alone and crying
when suddenly, this hummingbird came and flew so beautifully in front of me, like
trying to get my attention. When I saw it, I stop crying and then he left. A little later, I
decided to come back home and I got into my car and turned it on. Then, I turned far
away to look at my son's sepulcher once more to say bye to him and what a surprise!
The little hummingbird came all the way close to my car, by my right window and
stayed there like looking at me for a few seconds. When I saw him, I blessed him and
then he left. This was a very especial moment. I almost can say that he came to say
bye to me. I got very impressed and I thank God because I feel this is the language
of love that God uses to make us feel HIS love and presence. I feel in my heart that
this little hummingbird, is a sign of my precious son's love that The Lord allowed him
to show me, so I could feel his love.
April 20, 2005
One day of last week, I think it was on Saturday, I went to the cemetery to be at my
son's sepulcher. There was no people, maybe one car far away. The day was
beautiful, full of sunshine and winds bringing freshness to the environment. I was
just sitting down when a beautiful aroma came to me for a little while. I don't know if
the wind brought it, but at that moment I didn't think anything, I just enjoyed it while
it lasted. About a minute later, this aroma came back and then I started to try to find
out what kind or aroma was that. I came up with the conclusion that it was the aroma
of a vanilla candle, but there was no candles there and like I said before, there was
no people either. I then remembered that the vanilla candle is my favorite and my
son's. I also remembered that I have one vanilla candle that I light once in a while,
on a small altar at home where I have my son's picture. I perceived that aroma for
about three times and then it went away. When I got home, I went to my small altar to
smell the vanilla candle to compare it with the aroma I got at the cemetery and it is
exactly the same. I believe in my heart that my precious son wanted me to have that
aroma to make me feel his loving presence accompanying me because he speaks to
me in a language that he knows I will understand. For other people this may mean
nothing, but for me, it means that my beloved son is still with me and thinking of
that, makes me very happy. Of course I understand that all these messages, dreams
and miracles happen for the Grace of God. Thank you Loving Lord.
April 15, 2005
On April 13, at my son's sepulcher, I was very sad and I started crying. I told my son
how much I miss him and when I turn my head up, the first thing I saw, it was a very
cute hummingbird. I know that hummingbirds are signs from my son because many
times and for some reason, as soon as I start crying, a hummingbird appears from
nowhere and they get very close to me even if I am with other people. It's like they
want to make me feel their presence.
April 12, 2005
A few days ago, I started navigating the Internet and I liked a site that I found
because it really has a great love for my Catholic faith and because they are
dedicated to help the world. I decided to write and asked them if I could join their
beautiful work for God. They wrote me back to tell me that I got accepted, and
offered me the honor to be the Guardian of the very special society "The Sacred
Hearts of Jesus and Mary." This is my miracle and I feel very privileged that they
chose me among others for this beautiful work for Our Lord and Our Blessed
Mother Mary.
March 31, 2005
Yesterday at about 2:15 p.m. I arrived home for lunch. I went directly to my room to
rest a few minutes. When I was almost at the door between the restroom and the
bedroom, I started to smell a roses aroma. I tried then, to find out what was that
beautiful scent, but I couldn't. It was soft and beautiful and I well know that I don't
have anything like this perfume. After trying to find out what it was, I started to
understand that this aroma wasn't a common aroma and I started crying of gratitude
when I realized what my heart was telling me. My Blessed Mother Mary made me feel
HER loving presence through that beautiful scent. The scent lasted a few minutes
and now it's gone. Thank you My Loving Mother!

Last night something happen that made me feel my precious son's presence. Before
I went to bed, I started praying the rosary sitting on my bed and listening to religious
music. Every night I put my cell phone to charge on top of my dresser, which I can
see from my bed. Last night, while I was praying and listening to my religious music, I
started thinking of my son and I started crying incessantly. Suddenly, something
made me turn and look toward my dresser and I saw my phone glowing, the same
way it lights when I receive a phone call or when I press a button to dial a number.
As soon as I saw my phone shinning, my heart felt love, peace and joy because I
knew this was a sign that My Lord allowed my son to send me. Thank you My Loving
Lord for showing me Your Love and Mercy. Thank you my precious son for coming
to give me love and comfort in the ways you know I will be able to understand.

Last night I went to a very especial celebration which left me full of the Holy Spirit. I
never felt before what I felt last night. I honestly can say that for an instant, I was in
ecstasy while I was praying to Jesus. For only an instant, I feel that my soul left my
body to go to MY Lord. What a beautiful feeling that is. No more pain, just love and
happiness to be praising My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Then, when I received
the Holy Body of Christ in my hands, I started praising Jesus and I couldn't move my
eyes from HIM while resting in my hand. That is when I felt like a soft movement in
my left hand that made me think I was imaging things. But it happened again and
again. Three times, I felt a soft movement in my left hand when I had the Holy Body
of Christ. It was an explainable experience that made me cry with my heart full of
love and gratitude to My Lord. I know this may sound weird or incredible, but it really
happened. After losing a child, a mother is not the same anymore, it's then, when
you learn to pay more attention to your heart. I have learned that The Lord and Our
Blessed Mother talk to us in many different ways and by paying attention to my
heart, I am truly learning to understand THEIR signs and messages that help me to
keep going after losing my precious child.

Today, as you know, it’s my 53rd birthday. On the 25th, three days ago, my beloved
son came to give me a loving hug for my birthday. Like I said in my dreams page, it
was a hug full of his love because I had been very sad, knowing that my birthday
was coming and he wouldn’t be here. My Lord allowed my beloved child to come and
bring me so much joy, love and peace in that strong embrace that lasted a long time.
My son was the first one to congratulate me and I know in my heart that The Lord
sent him to me, to have peace and joy in my birthday. This is the first miracle that My
Lord granted me for my birthday, before the ones that I would like to describe here.
The night of January 26, I woke up in the middle of the night. I felt the presence of
something that made me afraid, so with my eyes closed, I started to pray Our Father
and the Ave Maria. Almost immediately, I could see through my closed eyes, some
white and bright light and I started feeling the presence of My Blessed Mother Mary.
I fell asleep immediately in peace.
Last night, I was blessed abundantly. I was invited to a very especial prayer
meditation where The Lord was present with HIS Holy Spirit that poured so many
blessings over all of us. Before we started, I was given a page with the psalm 91
which its title in Spanish is "El Señor es mi Refugio." This title translated in English
is very similar to the name of my site, "The Lord is my Refuge." When I read the
psalm title, I knew that this night would be a very especial night. I was right, during
the time that the prayer last, I felt very close to HIM and although I am a common
person with sins and weaknesses, I felt My Lord’s great love which made me feel
HIS mercy and glory. After this beautiful and especial prayer, I feel that I have been
purified and I ask My Lord to increase my faith, my trust and my love for HIM and to
guide me to do always HIS will.
This morning at mass, the priest, who is a priest full of love for God and a very kind
person, offered today’s mass for my birthday and also for my beloved son. At the
end of the mass and after the closing prayer, he asked the people to sing for me
“The Mañanitas,” and after that, they came to give me hugs and to congratulate me. I
feel very blessed, thank you My Lord, thank you My Blessed Mother Mary!
Jan 17, 2005
Last night, I had one of those nights when I feel so sad and full of pain for the
absence of my precious Hernan. I cried a lot and I pray a lot too. I was in my room,
without light, it was very dark. While I was praying and crying, I opened my eyes and I
seem to see a light shadow in front of me, a little farther away. I can't explain if it was
real or not, but I felt it was the presence of My Blessed Mother Mary. While I was
seeing the light shadow and feeling My Blessed Mother's presence, I started feeling
comfort and accompanied. Even if it wasn't real, I know that The Lord and My
Blessed Mother are there for me and somehow, they make me feel their loving
presence. Thank you My Lord, thank you My Blessed Mother, AMEN.
Jan 12, 2005
Today, I received a miracle that brought me so much joy. Last night, navigating the
internet, I found a very beautiful site that got my attention for the love and the
beauty that I sensed in it. After being there for some time, I decided to sign the
guest book and to congratulate the Webmaster who created it. To my surprise, the
Webmaster, who is Grandpa Leo, sent me a kind e-mail to thank me for signing his
guest book. Admiring his site so much and feeling the beauty of his soul, I decided
to send him an e-mail to tell him about my site and to ask him for some advice to
make mine more attractive. The miracle is the following: He wrote me back and after
he told me he visited my site, he gave me the great honor of his Marypages Award
2005-2006! Grandpa Leo also gave me kind words of comfort. He is a truly angel and I
feel that The Lord and The Blessed Mother Mary sent him to bring me so much joy. I
thank God for Grandpa Leo and his beautiful heart. Now my site will have the honor
to have a link to www.marypages.com and my page will be showing the Marypages
Award 2005-2006. Thank you Lord, thank you My Blessed Mother Mary, I love you
with all my heart, AMEN.

Today, something strange happened and I would like to share it with whoever is so
kind to hear my story. I usually get up early every morning to have time to go and
visit my beloved son to the cemetery, before I go to mass and then to work. For
almost two weeks, I haven't been able to go to the cemetery in the morning because
I have been very sick. So, I go after work for just a few minutes and I haven't even
got out of the car because it has been raining and I don't want to get sicker. Today,
after work, it was already dark, but I decided to go to the cemetery to kiss the
picture of my son's sepulcher the way I have been doing since he left, except these
last days. When I got to the cemetery, I got out of the car and I noticed that it was
raining a little bit. As I walked to my son's sepulcher, I was praying my rosary at the
same time. When I got close to his grave, I noticed that the lights that I put in his
small Christmas tree were very opaque. While I was looking at them and getting
closer to kiss my son's picture, the lights started to bright so vivid that I couldn't
believe what my eyes were seeing! I looked at these lights for a few seconds and I
clearly saw that after they got very bright, they went back to its opaque color. There
isn't any explanation for these lights to bright so suddenly without any electricity
and with the same used batteries. To me, it's a miracle of love. I feel that my beloved
Hernan was happy to see me again at his grave. Thank you Lord for allowing me to
receive from YOU and my son, miracles of LOVE.

Today, for the first time in my life, I got the privilege to give the Holy Body of Jesus.
This privilege came the same way when I gave the Holy Blood of Jesus,
unexpectedly, but after having a day full of tribulations and pain. Giving the Holy
Body of Christ gave me comfort and hope and help me to feel that The Lord is with
me and HE won't abandon me. Thank you My Loving Lord, I love you with all my heart
and soul that belong to you and only YOU, AMEN.
Nov 8, 2004
Today is a very especial day for me. I feel in my heart that The Lord made me be
worthy of giving HIS precious Blood at mass. For years I have been trying to be a
minister of the Eucharistic, but for different reasons, I had not been able to be. A
few days ago, I was called among other people to start this minister and today, for
the first time, I had the privilege to give The Holy Blood of Christ! This is a miracle
for me because after many years of trying, this precious gift came without me
expecting it. I also got to give The Precious Blood of Jesus to my mom, my husband
and my daughter. Thank you My Loving and Sweet Lord, thank you!
Today I had a wonderful experience. My son in-law showed me a video where it was
represented the life of us, the sinners. In one side, it was Jesus, giving us
happiness, taking care of us since we are born and in the other side, the devil with
all the sins that attract us and separate us from God. Almost at the end, the girl who
was representing us, the sinners, wanted to come back to God, but the devils with
all the sins, were holding her. But the one who personified Jesus got in the middle
of all the devils to save her and he was beaten in the place of the sinner. At the end,
Jesus triumphed and the devils died. Then Jesus and the sinner, were singing,
dancing and enjoying the wonders of God again. This video moved me greatly and I
cried because this is a reality.
When I left my daughter's house, I was crying and telling God that I am not the
person that I should be and that I love HIM very much, when suddenly, while I
turned the street to go home, I saw in the sky, a beautiful rainbow, shining with
beautiful colors as a sign from God to make me feel HIS wonderful love. Thank you
my Awesome God!

Yesterday, Sunday September 9, it was my beloved son's birthday. One of the
intentions of the Holy Mass was to pray for him. Yesterday, like it has been
happening a few times when the Mass is for my son, the Spanish lector didn't come
and I was asked to proclaim the Word of God. This is for me a miracle because the
lectors always come to proclaim. It's unusual if a lector doesn't come.
The first time that happened, I was happy to be part of the Holy Mass dedicated to
my son and I gave thanks to God because I felt it was a special gift. But now, after
three or four times that has happened, I realize that God is truly giving me the
loving gift to be part of the Holy Masses dedicated to my son. I feel that my beloved
son is asking the Lord to allow me to participate because he knows that I would
understand the loving message that I receive each time.
Besides, I was the person who said the petitions and for this reason, I was who
asked the congregation to pray for my beloved son.
Something important to mention is that the person who selects the hymns for the
Holy Mass, selected the theme of my web, "JESUS MY REFUGE" for my daughter to
sing it. At the end, I asked her if she did it in purpose. She answered "No." She
didn't know it was my Hernancito's birthday.
I know that all these "casualties" are not "casualties," they are truthfully miracles of
love that God granted me. Thank you Beloved Lord, thank you son of my heart!
April 1, 2007
I will start by saying that although I know it’s not right, many times I worry a lot for my
son Emmanuel because I am traumatized since I lost my son Hernan. A few days ago,
I asked God to allow my son Hernan to accompany my son Emmanuel to protect him
and guide him. I also asked God to grant Emmanuel a dream with his brother so he
wouldn’t feel so lonely. I didn’t say a word to Emmanuel about this, but
approximately two days later, he called me to tell me a beautiful dream he had with
his brother Hernan.
He said that in his dream, my son Hernan arrived home very happy. He also said that
they hug and Emmanuel got the message that Hernan came back to live with him
again!!!!!!!!
It’s incredible how God answered my prayer so quickly! Moreover, as a confirmation
of this miracle, today, my son Emmanuel called me to tell me that he feels the
presence of his brother, accompanying him and helping him. It was then that I told
him that I had prayed to God to allow my son Hernan to accompany him and protect
him. My son Emmanuel kept quiet for an instant. Like he was impressed and then he
said, see how God answers you so fast? Thank you Sweet Lord!
January 24, 2007
Today, I want to share a wonderful miracle that happened to me yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday, I was feeling sick at work. I just wanted to go to bed. When I got home at
about 4:10 in the afternoon, only my mom was there. She asked me if I wanted to eat
something and I told her that I was not hungry and that I was feeling sick. I went
directly to my bedroom and my mom went to hers to watch TV. The house was silent.
Suddenly, I started hearing beautiful and unique music. I was surprised because a
second before, everything was quiet. So, I got up to try to find that music. I went to
the living room and there it was! One of the musical boxes that my beloved son
gave to his father and me was playing its beautiful music!
As soon as I saw the musical box playing, I started screaming and calling my mom to
come soon. When she came, the musical box was still playing, and it lasted for a
long time. Then, I asked her if she had set it to play and she denied it immediately.
There was nobody else at home and this musical box is next to my beloved Hernan’s
picture! This is simply amazing! When I realized that the box started playing by itself,
I started crying and touching my son’s picture. My mom cried too and we were both
amazed.
It could have started playing anytime during the whole day, but it didn’t. It seemed
like it was waiting for me to come home to start playing. I immediately felt my
beloved son’s presence and I thanked him for this beautiful gift of love. I know in my
heart this is his gift to me for the proximity of my birthday next week.
I haven’t had a dream of him for a long time and this hurts me, but my beautiful child
finds ways to show me how much he loves me.
I thank God so much for this wonderful miracle because I know that HE is the one
who allows my beautiful child to show me his love. Thank you My Lord, thank you
Blessed Virgin Mary, thank you my beautiful child!

Last night while I was trying to sleep next to my two year-old granddaughter, who
didn't want to sleep, she suddenly sat on the bed and said: "Uncle is here, uncle is
here." She doesn't know other uncle, but my beloved Hernan for the pictures I have
around the house. So, I asked her, "where mija, tell me where is uncle?" After a little
while, she pointed at the left side of the bed, where I sleep!
I don't know if she saw him or if she just said it, but it made me very happy just to
think that my beloved Hernan was next to me.
November 19, 2006
Today, it was my turn to serve as a Eucharistic minister at the 7:00 pm mass. For
some reason, I started feeling nervous, but I tried to not pay attention to my worries.
When I was giving the "Holy Blood of Christ" a lady held the cup and after she drank,
she let it go. I was not holding it because we were told to give the people the cup
for them to drink, so when I saw that the cup was falling down, a miracle happened. I
don't know how, but the cup didn't fall, I was able to hold it with my right hand!!!
I have been thinking, and thinking, and I just can't understand how I was able to
catch it. Nevertheless, it is a real miracle and I am so thankful to God. Do you
imagine if the cup had fell? Thank you My Awesome Lord!
November 18, 2006
Today, I was feeling upset when I got to the cemetery. I sat for a little while next to
my beloved son's sepulcher and when I looked at the tree that gives him some
shade, there was a beautiful white dove resting on a branch. She seemed to be
looking towards me.
This is a miracle to me because I haven't seen a white dove for a long time and if I
see them, they are flying high and far from where I sit. Also, she was a silence
remainder of the two white doves that were at my son's funeral which gave me a
divine sign of God's love.
August 3, 2006
Today, I feel so blessed and loved by God, the Blessed Mother Mary and my beloved
son for the wonderful gift I got yesterday.
I was putting papers away from my desk when I found an envelope with a card
inside. I opened it and what a wonderful surprise I got when I saw it! It’s a card full of
love that my beloved son Hernan did for me. It doesn’t have the date, but I think it
was the last Mother’s Day that he spent with me. I don’t know why I never saw it, at
least, I don’t remember seeing it before. I know this because I would have kept it as
the most precious treasure after he left. Maybe he did it and put it on my desk for
me, but for some reason I never saw it and he didn’t ask me. Maybe he assumed that
I saw it and he forgot about it. I don’t know what it really happened, only God and my
son know, but it doesn’t matter because I greatly believe that God planned it that
way to give me comfort now, when the anniversary of his departure is so close.
August 11 is the anniversary of his departure and I always cry a lot when that date is
coming. These last days, I have been very sad and my poor heart is feeling the pain
too fresh. It almost feels like when I got the phone call to let me know that he has
been killed. Years pass by and my pain is there. Sometimes it’s hiding, but
sometimes it’s simply unbearable. That is the reason why I know that God planned it
this way. He wanted to give me comfort and strength to keep me going. Thank you
my Sweet Lord, thank you so much, thank you my Blessed Mother Mary, thank you
my beautiful child, God bless you eternally………..!

Today, in the afternoon, I went to a church class and at the end of the class, we hug
each of the ladies in our small group. When I went to bed, I started thinking of the
hug that one of the ladies gave me. I felt almost like my son’s hug and I don’t know
why. Thinking on this hug, made me remember the day when a lady at church,
suddenly told me that my beloved son sent me a hug and she gave me a loving
embrace. I didn’t know this lady, or at least, I didn’t remember her and it was a great
surprise for me, but at the same time, it gave me happiness, just to imagine that my
son was hugging me through her. When I was thinking of all this, my cell phone,
started illuminating, without any reason, the way it does, when I feel my beloved son’
s presence. It was exactly 9:00 p.m.
I know in my heart that this is a sign from my beloved son. I know that he hugged me
today once more through the lady in my class. I feel that the illumination of my
phone was a confirmation that my son truly hugged me through the embrace of
these two ladies. I know that The Lord is so full of mercy and love and HE is allowing
my beloved son to send me signs of his pure love. Thank you Lord, thank my
beautiful child.
April 3, 2006
Sunday was for me, a blessed and beautiful day. I have been getting prepared to
become a Eucharistic minister and for years, this has been one of my dreams. After a
long time, I was called to start giving the Blood of Christ on Mondays and that is a
miracle that happened to me some time ago. But for some reason, I haven’t been
certified to be a real Eucharistic minister, so I haven’t been called to give the Body
of Christ on Sundays. On Sunday, April 2nd, before Mass started, I prayed to The
Lord. I told HIM that I wanted to serve HIM as a Eucharistic minister. I also told him to
allow me to serve HIM whenever HE wanted me. When it was the time for the five
serves to go and help the priest, I was suddenly called to go and help too. Since I
was the last one to go to the altar, the other four gave the Blood of Christ and I was
chosen to give the Body of Christ!!!!!!!!
This is my wonderful miracle! The Lord answered my prayer immediately and granted
me the privilege to give HIS Body, Alleluia!
The whole time that I was serving, I was so full of the Holy Spirit. I felt so much love
and I also felt the people's love. I feel this is the ministry that I am called to do and I
thank God so much for allowing me to serve HIM.
March 20, 2006
Yesterday something strange happened to me. I was tired, so I took a short nap at
about 3:00 pm. I must have been sleeping for 15 minutes, when suddenly, I woke up
and something made me turn to see the screen of my computer. The image that the
screen was showing was Jesus face and it was very beautiful to wake up and see
HIS Holy Face in the whole screen. I know this was not a coincidence because I have
hundreds of pictures in my computer and when I woke up, it was this especial face
of Jesus the one that was showing. I only worried a little bit because this image of
Jesus has tears in his eyes. Is my Loving Jesus trying to tell me something? I just
pray that HE will protect and bless all my loved ones.
This is the Jesus face image that my screen was showing yesterday.
Continuing with my strange story of yesterday afternoon, I fell asleep again after I
saw the beautiful face of Jesus. I am not sure how long I slept, when I heard in my
dreams: "It's 4:00 o'clock." I woke up and looked at my clock, it was exactly 4:00! I am
amazed about this and I can't explain it to myself, but I feel that somebody woke me
up at exactly 4:00 pm. There was no one in my room and the door was closed.
February 27, 2006
I am very happy to share with all of you, a great miracle that The Lord just granted
me.
To start, I will tell you something about my son Emmanuel.
My son Emmanuel is the youngest of my three children. When I got pregnant of him,
my husband and I went to a prayer group and offered him to Our Lord before he was
born, so we decided to call him “Emmanuel” which means “God is with US.” I know
for a fact that The Lord has always had him in HIS Holy Hands because my son has
been in danger many times, but The Lord has saved him all the time, thank GOD! One
time, when he was about four months old, I put him to sleep on a mattress and I went
to another room to have some food. A few minutes later, the owner of the house, my
friend, went to the bedroom where Emmanuel was sleeping and brought him to me.
As soon as she gave him to me, the roof, where my son Emmanuel was sleeping, fell
on the mattress! Isn’t that a great miracle from God? Just a minute before, my son
was sleeping there, but God moved the lady of the house to grab my baby and bring
him back to me safe!
Another time, when he was about 8 months, we moved to Acapulco to live close to
my family. We had a small piece of land where we were building a small hut. We did
not have almost any thing like water, or a floor, just ground. Our roof was just rustic
pieces of some material. One night, my husband, my two older kids and I were
sleeping on a bed. Close to us, there was a cradle where my son Emmanuel was
sleeping. It was about midnight, when Emmanuel started crying. My husband and I
didn’t want to get up, we thought that he wanted to have his bottle and we didn’t
want him to drink anything during the night. He didn’t stop crying, he cried so hard
and for so long, that I had to get up and check on him. I turned the light on and while
I was checking him, my husband stayed on bed, looking at the roof. Suddenly, he
yielded very hard, telling me to move the baby out of there. A big tarantula was on
the roof, at the very top of Emmanuel’s crib, like ready to jump on him! My husband
grabbed a big wood stick and killed it. Then, without doing anything to my son, we
went to sleep and he fell asleep like an angel. Isn’t this amazing? My son just woke
up feeling the danger of something and didn’t stop crying until the danger was
gone. Praise The Lord!
Emmanuel has always been the most restless of my three children. He likes
adventure, spend time with his friends, go out a lot, etc, etc. Emmanuel is a free
spirit. This is the way he uses to describe himself.
Before I go on with the story of my great miracle, I want to share that right now,
while I am writing about my miracle, my phone rang and I immediately thought that it
was my son Emmanuel who was calling me and YES, it was him, somehow I felt it!
Okay, back to my miracle.
Emmanuel has always been the greatest of my worries. He started going out since
he was a teenage. Sometimes he didn’t come back home till about 5:00 in the
morning and I spent nights full of anguish and desperation. My other two kids didn’t
worry me, they were always at home, studying in their rooms. They didn’t like to go
out. But Emmanuel made it up for the other two. He has been in about two or three
car accidents among other things. One day, I decided that I was going to start
praying the rosary for my children. I have been praying the rosary for years now and
I always ask The Lord to guide my children to HIS path. We had also tried to send
Emmanuel to different spiritual, Christian retreats, but he never wanted to. A few
months ago, Emmanuel started going to a place to cut his hair. Over there, he met
some people who knew my son Hernan and know my daughter Vanessa. About a
month or two ago, one of these persons, asked him if he would go to a Christian
retreat. Emmanuel immediately answered YES!
This retreat started last Thursday Feb 23 and it finished on Sunday Feb 26. My son
Emmanuel went to this Christian retreat and he came back home last night full of the
Holy Spirit. He loves God with all his heart and he wants to work for HIM! One of the
first things he did last night, was to wash our feet and kiss them. He said that
nobody told him to do this, he wanted to do it as a sign of the love and gratitude he
has for all we have done for him. I fell on my knees and cried to my Lord in great
gratitude for this great miracle HE has granted me. This is a dream come true! Thank
you My Loving God, thank you so much, I love you Lord with all my heart! Thank you
Blessed Mother Mary for praying for us to Jesus, your beloved son.
January 26, 2006
I want to share a few things that for me, contain miracles from God and they are
answers to my prayers. My son Emmanuel is my youngest child. My husband and I
offered him to God when I was pregnant of him. He has always been restless and
likes adventure. My son Hernan was always worried for him and he tried to advice
him all the time. Emmanuel always looked up to Hernan and he always felt his
protection and support. He could always talk to his older brother about anything.
When my beloved Hernan went to Heaven, my son Emmanuel was devastated and
until this day, he cries for the absence of his brother.
When we lost my son Hernan, we were devastated. My son Emmanuel came to me
crying and told me: “Mom, I am sorry that it wasn’t me, who died because I am the
one who makes you worry.” I told him then, that I didn’t want any of my kids to leave
before me and I hugged him and cried together.
My son Emmanuel had some health problems when he was a little boy and we were
very afraid that he would never become a dad because of those health problems.
But God had other plans and a few months after we lost Hernan, Emmanuel
announced to us that he would become a dad pretty soon. Emmanuel’s baby came to
give strength, happiness and hope to all of us, but especially to Emmanuel who
started changing his old ways of living after his baby born. God granted us a great
blessing with the arrival of this baby because my son Emmanuel has a purpose to
live and to live the best he can for his baby girl. This is a great miracle to me
because now, my son Emmanuel has great faith in God and although he is a sinner
like me and everyone else, he has the desire to become a better person for his little
girl.
Adding a little bit more to my story, last night, I was going to work late, but for some
reason, I didn’t, so I came home at my regular time. A little later, my son Emmanuel
came and he started talking to me about different things. While we were talking, I
got deeply touched for the wisdom that his words reflected and his great heart.
While I was listening of what he was saying, my eyes started watering of happiness
to see the beautiful young man that my son Emmanuel is becoming. I guess my son
Emmanuel needed to talk to somebody and I was there to listen to him. That is the
reason, I believe, I didn’t work late. I noticed that he was much moved and his eyes
had tears too.
One of the things that Emmanuel told me last night, it’s that he wants to try to go to
church more often and to work in any issues he has, to become a better person. He
also told me something he did when he was in high school. He said that one day,
instead of going to school, he went to a house with some friends. Over there, there
was a man very ill. This person had aids. My son, who was about 17 years old, for
some reason started talking to this man about God and HIS love. The man was
impressed that a young kid would talk to him about God and after listening to my
son, the man, deeply touched, said, between other words: “I feel free now.” My son
gave him a hug and left. A few days later, this man died……………….!
After I heard the story about this man, I told my son how proud I am of him. My son
Hernan did a lot of things like this too, but I never knew until after he died, when his
friends came and told me all the hearts he touched, during his short life. Same as my
boys, my daughter Vanessa has also a great heart and once more, I realize that I am
very blessed with the children that God gave me. I don’t deserve them. I was not the
best mom for any of them, but God is full of love, mercy and compassion and has
blessed me with them. Thank you Lord for my miracles of YOUR Immense love!

Today, like everyday, I went to mass before going to work. But today it was more
special because I had a beautiful vision. After I received Jesus in the Eucharist, I
knelt down to pray. While I was talking to My Lord Jesus, I was looking at HIM and
His cross at the altar. Then, I close my eyes, and the image of HIM and His cross,
transform in a beautiful white dove with the wings open. I believe in my heart that it
was The Holy Spirit. When I saw this beautiful vision, I felt that I was going to faint
and my whole body was full of something beautiful that I can’t describe with words.
Thanks be to God!

On Friday Dec 2nd, I was watching a story in TV about a mother giving her son a
loving hug. I started crying, thinking that I can’t hug my beloved son anymore. After
that day, I started praying to My Lord to let me hug my son again. On Monday Dec
5th, I went to mass and when we started giving the peace to everybody, a lady came
to me and told me: “I am giving you this hug from your son. He wants you to be
happy again, the way you were before he left.” Then she gave me a very loving and
strong hug that made me feel the immense love that exists between my beloved
Hernan and me. I praise The Lord for this miracle of Love!

Yesterday something happened that made us believe it's God's answer to my
daughter's question.
I found a good opportunity to buy something that I have been trying to obtain, but
they asked me for money that I don't have at this moment and I didn't want to let this
opportunity go. I told my daughter about it and she said she would ask her husband.
She went home and talked to her husband. He agreed in letting me borrow that
money. So, after my daughter finished the conversation with her husband, she
stood up by her kitchen window looking at her rose bushes. Suddenly, a
hummingbird came to drink to her rose bushes. While the hummingbird was drinking
from the roses, my daughter did a small prayer and asked The Lord to make the
hummingbird come to her window, if it was all right to use the money to buy what I
wanted to buy. Immediately after she finished her prayer, the hummingbird came to
her window and remained there flying and looking at her for a little while. Then, he
left. My daughter called me immediately to tell me about the beautiful miracle that
God granted her. The Lord is Awesome!

For some people what I am going to describe is only a "coincidence," but for me, it's
a "Miracle of Love."
Yesterday, Nov 2nd, was the day of the Death. This is the way we call it in Acapulco,
my birth place. The day of the Death, I usually spend the whole day at the cemetery.
Yesterday, I had to work, but I asked my boss to let me leave early. I arrived at the
cemetery at about 4:00 in the afternoon. It was packed! There were no spaces to
park. People were parking outside, far from the cemetery. I didn't want to park
outside, so I drove to my usual parking space and what a surprise! The space where
I park every day, it was empty! It was the only one and it seemed to be reserved just
for me. My mom and I couldn't believe it, but my parking space was the only space
free to park. We couldn't understand why, nobody parked there. We know though,
that it was meant for us. Thank you Lord, thank you my precious Hernan for saving it
for your earthly mother.

Today, my youngest son called me to tell me something that happened to him. He
started explaining to me that yesterday, he was setting a beautiful statue of an
Indian which belonged to my son Hernan, close to his baby’s crib. Then, he tried to
put a rosary around this statue. When he was trying to put it, the rosary fell and it
formed the shape of a heart around the statue. My son Emmanuel immediately
thought of this as a sign from his dearly loved brother.
Today, he put his baby in her crib and he forgot that the statue, the rosary and many
small things were close to the crib where her baby girl was, and he left the room for
just a minute. When he remembered that he had left these things close to the crib,
he came back running just to find out that his one year old baby girl was playing with
the rosary. She didn’t touch any of the small attractive, colorful things that could
have been a great danger for her; she just grabbed the rosary, the same rosary that
the previous day, fell from Emmanuel’s hands to form the shape of a heart……….
When Emmanuel realized what it had just happened, he started to cry full of deep
emotion because he knew that his loving brother was watching over his daughter
like her guardian angel. Thank you Lord for allowing my beloved son to be our angel!

I work troubleshooting computer and data problems and today I got a data problem
that I didn't know how I was going to fix because it looked very complicated. Well,
The Lord, My Blessed Mother and my beloved son are watching over me. After a
while, when I was trying to analyze the problem to find the solution, I typed a query
to get the information from my database and suddenly, I looked at my screen and the
word that I had typed by "mistake" was "Pray." When I saw what I had typed, I stop
for just a moment and I PRAYED! A few minutes later, I found the solution to this
complicated problem that I thought it was going to take me hours to solve! Thank
you Lord, thank you Blessed Mother, thank you my beloved son!
Today also, when I was brushing my hair while I was thinking of the dream I had with
my son, an empty conditioner tube fell by itself without any reason to fall. I said,
"Mijito, I love you more than ever."

Like I said in my miracle of April 15, this beautiful hummingbird comes almost
everyday when I am at my son's sepulcher, but yesterday, it was more especial than
usual. I have been putting pictures in my photos page, so I have been crying a lot.
Last night, after work, I went to the cemetery. The afternoon was beautiful and fresh,
but my soul was crying for the absence of my precious son. I was alone and crying
when suddenly, this hummingbird came and flew so beautifully in front of me, like
trying to get my attention. When I saw it, I stop crying and then he left. A little later, I
decided to come back home and I got into my car and turned it on. Then, I turned far
away to look at my son's sepulcher once more to say bye to him and what a surprise!
The little hummingbird came all the way close to my car, by my right window and
stayed there like looking at me for a few seconds. When I saw him, I blessed him and
then he left. This was a very especial moment. I almost can say that he came to say
bye to me. I got very impressed and I thank God because I feel this is the language
of love that God uses to make us feel HIS love and presence. I feel in my heart that
this little hummingbird, is a sign of my precious son's love that The Lord allowed him
to show me, so I could feel his love.

One day of last week, I think it was on Saturday, I went to the cemetery to be at my
son's sepulcher. There was no people, maybe one car far away. The day was
beautiful, full of sunshine and winds bringing freshness to the environment. I was
just sitting down when a beautiful aroma came to me for a little while. I don't know if
the wind brought it, but at that moment I didn't think anything, I just enjoyed it while
it lasted. About a minute later, this aroma came back and then I started to try to find
out what kind or aroma was that. I came up with the conclusion that it was the aroma
of a vanilla candle, but there was no candles there and like I said before, there was
no people either. I then remembered that the vanilla candle is my favorite and my
son's. I also remembered that I have one vanilla candle that I light once in a while,
on a small altar at home where I have my son's picture. I perceived that aroma for
about three times and then it went away. When I got home, I went to my small altar to
smell the vanilla candle to compare it with the aroma I got at the cemetery and it is
exactly the same. I believe in my heart that my precious son wanted me to have that
aroma to make me feel his loving presence accompanying me because he speaks to
me in a language that he knows I will understand. For other people this may mean
nothing, but for me, it means that my beloved son is still with me and thinking of
that, makes me very happy. Of course I understand that all these messages, dreams
and miracles happen for the Grace of God. Thank you Loving Lord.

On April 13, at my son's sepulcher, I was very sad and I started crying. I told my son
how much I miss him and when I turn my head up, the first thing I saw, it was a very
cute hummingbird. I know that hummingbirds are signs from my son because many
times and for some reason, as soon as I start crying, a hummingbird appears from
nowhere and they get very close to me even if I am with other people. It's like they
want to make me feel their presence.

A few days ago, I started navigating the Internet and I liked a site that I found
because it really has a great love for my Catholic faith and because they are
dedicated to help the world. I decided to write and asked them if I could join their
beautiful work for God. They wrote me back to tell me that I got accepted, and
offered me the honor to be the Guardian of the very special society "The Sacred
Hearts of Jesus and Mary." This is my miracle and I feel very privileged that they
chose me among others for this beautiful work for Our Lord and Our Blessed
Mother Mary.

Yesterday at about 2:15 p.m. I arrived home for lunch. I went directly to my room to
rest a few minutes. When I was almost at the door between the restroom and the
bedroom, I started to smell a roses aroma. I tried then, to find out what was that
beautiful scent, but I couldn't. It was soft and beautiful and I well know that I don't
have anything like this perfume. After trying to find out what it was, I started to
understand that this aroma wasn't a common aroma and I started crying of gratitude
when I realized what my heart was telling me. My Blessed Mother Mary made me feel
HER loving presence through that beautiful scent. The scent lasted a few minutes
and now it's gone. Thank you My Loving Mother!

Last night something happen that made me feel my precious son's presence. Before
I went to bed, I started praying the rosary sitting on my bed and listening to religious
music. Every night I put my cell phone to charge on top of my dresser, which I can
see from my bed. Last night, while I was praying and listening to my religious music, I
started thinking of my son and I started crying incessantly. Suddenly, something
made me turn and look toward my dresser and I saw my phone glowing, the same
way it lights when I receive a phone call or when I press a button to dial a number.
As soon as I saw my phone shinning, my heart felt love, peace and joy because I
knew this was a sign that My Lord allowed my son to send me. Thank you My Loving
Lord for showing me Your Love and Mercy. Thank you my precious son for coming
to give me love and comfort in the ways you know I will be able to understand.

Last night I went to a very especial celebration which left me full of the Holy Spirit. I
never felt before what I felt last night. I honestly can say that for an instant, I was in
ecstasy while I was praying to Jesus. For only an instant, I feel that my soul left my
body to go to MY Lord. What a beautiful feeling that is. No more pain, just love and
happiness to be praising My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Then, when I received
the Holy Body of Christ in my hands, I started praising Jesus and I couldn't move my
eyes from HIM while resting in my hand. That is when I felt like a soft movement in
my left hand that made me think I was imaging things. But it happened again and
again. Three times, I felt a soft movement in my left hand when I had the Holy Body
of Christ. It was an explainable experience that made me cry with my heart full of
love and gratitude to My Lord. I know this may sound weird or incredible, but it really
happened. After losing a child, a mother is not the same anymore, it's then, when
you learn to pay more attention to your heart. I have learned that The Lord and Our
Blessed Mother talk to us in many different ways and by paying attention to my
heart, I am truly learning to understand THEIR signs and messages that help me to
keep going after losing my precious child.

Today, as you know, it’s my 53rd birthday. On the 25th, three days ago, my beloved
son came to give me a loving hug for my birthday. Like I said in my dreams page, it
was a hug full of his love because I had been very sad, knowing that my birthday
was coming and he wouldn’t be here. My Lord allowed my beloved child to come and
bring me so much joy, love and peace in that strong embrace that lasted a long time.
My son was the first one to congratulate me and I know in my heart that The Lord
sent him to me, to have peace and joy in my birthday. This is the first miracle that My
Lord granted me for my birthday, before the ones that I would like to describe here.
The night of January 26, I woke up in the middle of the night. I felt the presence of
something that made me afraid, so with my eyes closed, I started to pray Our Father
and the Ave Maria. Almost immediately, I could see through my closed eyes, some
white and bright light and I started feeling the presence of My Blessed Mother Mary.
I fell asleep immediately in peace.
Last night, I was blessed abundantly. I was invited to a very especial prayer
meditation where The Lord was present with HIS Holy Spirit that poured so many
blessings over all of us. Before we started, I was given a page with the psalm 91
which its title in Spanish is "El Señor es mi Refugio." This title translated in English
is very similar to the name of my site, "The Lord is my Refuge." When I read the
psalm title, I knew that this night would be a very especial night. I was right, during
the time that the prayer last, I felt very close to HIM and although I am a common
person with sins and weaknesses, I felt My Lord’s great love which made me feel
HIS mercy and glory. After this beautiful and especial prayer, I feel that I have been
purified and I ask My Lord to increase my faith, my trust and my love for HIM and to
guide me to do always HIS will.
This morning at mass, the priest, who is a priest full of love for God and a very kind
person, offered today’s mass for my birthday and also for my beloved son. At the
end of the mass and after the closing prayer, he asked the people to sing for me
“The Mañanitas,” and after that, they came to give me hugs and to congratulate me. I
feel very blessed, thank you My Lord, thank you My Blessed Mother Mary!

Last night, I had one of those nights when I feel so sad and full of pain for the
absence of my precious Hernan. I cried a lot and I pray a lot too. I was in my room,
without light, it was very dark. While I was praying and crying, I opened my eyes and I
seem to see a light shadow in front of me, a little farther away. I can't explain if it was
real or not, but I felt it was the presence of My Blessed Mother Mary. While I was
seeing the light shadow and feeling My Blessed Mother's presence, I started feeling
comfort and accompanied. Even if it wasn't real, I know that The Lord and My
Blessed Mother are there for me and somehow, they make me feel their loving
presence. Thank you My Lord, thank you My Blessed Mother, AMEN.

Today, I received a miracle that brought me so much joy. Last night, navigating the
internet, I found a very beautiful site that got my attention for the love and the
beauty that I sensed in it. After being there for some time, I decided to sign the
guest book and to congratulate the Webmaster who created it. To my surprise, the
Webmaster, who is Grandpa Leo, sent me a kind e-mail to thank me for signing his
guest book. Admiring his site so much and feeling the beauty of his soul, I decided
to send him an e-mail to tell him about my site and to ask him for some advice to
make mine more attractive. The miracle is the following: He wrote me back and after
he told me he visited my site, he gave me the great honor of his Marypages Award
2005-2006! Grandpa Leo also gave me kind words of comfort. He is a truly angel and I
feel that The Lord and The Blessed Mother Mary sent him to bring me so much joy. I
thank God for Grandpa Leo and his beautiful heart. Now my site will have the honor
to have a link to www.marypages.com and my page will be showing the Marypages
Award 2005-2006. Thank you Lord, thank you My Blessed Mother Mary, I love you
with all my heart, AMEN.

Today, something strange happened and I would like to share it with whoever is so
kind to hear my story. I usually get up early every morning to have time to go and
visit my beloved son to the cemetery, before I go to mass and then to work. For
almost two weeks, I haven't been able to go to the cemetery in the morning because
I have been very sick. So, I go after work for just a few minutes and I haven't even
got out of the car because it has been raining and I don't want to get sicker. Today,
after work, it was already dark, but I decided to go to the cemetery to kiss the
picture of my son's sepulcher the way I have been doing since he left, except these
last days. When I got to the cemetery, I got out of the car and I noticed that it was
raining a little bit. As I walked to my son's sepulcher, I was praying my rosary at the
same time. When I got close to his grave, I noticed that the lights that I put in his
small Christmas tree were very opaque. While I was looking at them and getting
closer to kiss my son's picture, the lights started to bright so vivid that I couldn't
believe what my eyes were seeing! I looked at these lights for a few seconds and I
clearly saw that after they got very bright, they went back to its opaque color. There
isn't any explanation for these lights to bright so suddenly without any electricity
and with the same used batteries. To me, it's a miracle of love. I feel that my beloved
Hernan was happy to see me again at his grave. Thank you Lord for allowing me to
receive from YOU and my son, miracles of LOVE.

Today, for the first time in my life, I got the privilege to give the Holy Body of Jesus.
This privilege came the same way when I gave the Holy Blood of Jesus,
unexpectedly, but after having a day full of tribulations and pain. Giving the Holy
Body of Christ gave me comfort and hope and help me to feel that The Lord is with
me and HE won't abandon me. Thank you My Loving Lord, I love you with all my heart
and soul that belong to you and only YOU, AMEN.
Nov 8, 2004
Today is a very especial day for me. I feel in my heart that The Lord made me be
worthy of giving HIS precious Blood at mass. For years I have been trying to be a
minister of the Eucharistic, but for different reasons, I had not been able to be. A
few days ago, I was called among other people to start this minister and today, for
the first time, I had the privilege to give The Holy Blood of Christ! This is a miracle
for me because after many years of trying, this precious gift came without me
expecting it. I also got to give The Precious Blood of Jesus to my mom, my husband
and my daughter. Thank you My Loving and Sweet Lord, thank you!
