The Feast of the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary
This morning, around seven o’clock, as I was praying the Angelus in my bedroom, all of a sudden, my spirit came to my kitchen. To my utter amazement, there were so many heavenly guests in my kitchen: Lord Jesus, Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, and a multitude of angels. Lord Jesus was about eleven years of age.
One of the Angels was carrying a huge bunch of red, white and golden roses in his arms. When Blessed Mother requested that he give her the flowers, he handed them over to her. She placed them on the sink to make a selection to arrange a bouquet. The exquisite perfume emanating from the roses filled my whole house.
I gasped and said, “Oh, Blessed Mother, what beautiful flowers.”
“They are direct from Heaven. They are for you to console you. We come to cheer you up,” she said.
I said, “Blessed Mother, I should give you roses.”
“No, no, no. We come to console you, because you suffer a lot for us, and you pray for others,” she replied.
As I touched the roses, I was so amazed at their beauty and the size of the unopened rosebuds. They were the size of little mandarins.
Blessed Mother then placed a small lace tablecloth on the table, setting down the flower arrangement. I watched as she broke off one of the beautiful buds and put it in the bouquet.
I said, “Oh, thank you, Blessed Mother, I will place them before your statue here in my house.”
Suddenly, I saw a large statue of the Blessed Mother, all in white, coming from my hallway.
I said, “Blessed Mother, I will place that statue here in the kitchen or somewhere in the house, and I will place all these flowers before your statue.”
She smiled and said, “But, they are for you, to console you.”
St. Joseph said, “Valentina, we all love you. We all came to cheer you up.”
Lord Jesus was so cheerful. He said, “We also come to help you! Whatever you want us to do for you, we will do it for you. What do you need us to do?”
I said, “It’s alright, it’s alright!”
I was in awe of the heavenly guests visiting my home, as my house looked so poor and ordinary compared to their glorious presence.
I said, “Alright! I am now going to make coffee for all of you!”
They all smiled. I always have bread on the table. I was thinking I would offer them some bread and biscuits with coffee.
The heavenly beings in my kitchen were so loud, joyously chatting, their smiles and happiness filling the room. The angels were fussing around the Blessed Mother. The whole scene lifted my spirit. For the rest of the day, the exquisite scent of the roses remained in my home.
Later in the morning, on my way to Church, my friend reminded me that today is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
During the Holy Mass, I thanked Blessed Mother and Lord Jesus for their joyous visitation to my home and for the beautiful roses.
