Blessing Water Seventy-Five Times
This morning, just before five o’clock, the Angel came. Suddenly, I found myself in the other world, standing near a lake. A holy lady, dressed in a gown of a deep blue colour, then appears before the lake, holding a Cross in her hand. Raising the Cross, she blesses the water in the lake, and then she departs.
After the lady departed, I approached a house and met some people there. Then, coming out of the house were two ladies I had met before. They wore beautiful white dresses with delicate tops of a golden creamy colour.
Greeting the two ladies, I said, “Hello, it is nice to see you.”
I asked, “What are you doing here?”
They answered, “We are doing and preparing things for what is to come.”
As the ladies approached me, one of them held a St Benedict Cross in her hand.
She said, “Valentina, just as well you are here, while we get ready, you have to bless this water seventy-five times.”
I said, “Seventy-five times? That’s a lot.”
I took the St Benedict Cross and, moving towards the lake, started to bless the water. After I blessed the water many times, but not the seventy-five times as requested, I returned to the ladies and said, “I have just done some, but not all of them, not the seventy-five times like you asked of me—it’s too long.” The ladies did not respond but began to move away.
I then asked, “Where are you two going?”
“We have to go. We have to prepare things,” they answered.
Comment. No explanation was given to me as to why the water had to be blessed seventy-five times.
