Origin of the Miraculous Image of OUr Lady of the Cathedral of Love
In 1984 I was working construction for a company that contracted the demolition of an old post office building. Before the demolition date of the building, the person whom I worked for wanted to go through the entire building to remove anything of value. In the back room of the main receiving room there was a lot of stuff that could be classified as junk. However amongst the junk was a framed, beautiful lithograph of Mary presenting Her Immaculate Heart with Her hands. I surprised my boss by asking him how much he wanted for the framed Image of Our Lady. He was at a loss for words at first but then said $5 dollars. That is how I obtained the 16”x 20” image that we now call Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love. I kept the image and often prayed before it.
In February, 2018, my wife’s father was in the hospital dying of cancer, and I was home praying before the lithograph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. My wife’s father was a difficult person, and in all the years that we knew him he had a strong adversity toward Christians, and he exhorted those around him to live a godless lifestyle. We had prayed regularly for him for 25 years for his conversion, and now that he is breathing his last breaths, there was nothing different about him. Beginning to think that our 25 years of prayer was a total failure, I decided to speak freely to the image in front of me by saying, “So anyway . . . How should we pray for Bill?” Then the image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary spoke two words to me which were perfectly audible and profound. In a sweet voice she said, “Pray kindness.” Not understanding the meaning of her words, but thinking that I should act fast, I immediately asked another question about another matter to see if I could get a second response. But these two audible words was her gift to me at that time. The meaning to those words were in reference to myself praying roseries for a priest to receive Divine Judgement for being a very bad example for his congregation.
From that time onward, began a series of many communications interiorly from Our Precious Mother. In mid-summer 2018, I was asked by Our Lady to write a book about her Immaculate Heart, and she promised to help me. Having little knowledge and writing experience, I wholeheartedly plunged into the project. I completed a compilation of meditations, reflections, and prayers and it was at this time I began a get-together every day at 4:30 in the afternoon. In December of 2020 I began to receive messages that had broader implications which are now posted bimonthly on the home page.
Physical Healings
- The first physical healing occurred on, July 11, 2023 for our dog Pazzi who was having difficulty breathing, and he also had a large growth, about the size of a golf ball, on his rib cage, and one on his foot. The one on his foot was half the size of the one on his rib cage. We were suspecting that he could be dying of cancer. I asked Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love if she would heal Pazzi and she said that she would. The following day the growth on his side had completely disappeared and the one on his foot was much better, his breathing had cleared up completely. Today Pazzi is doing very well with just a very small growth on his foot which continues to reduce in size.
- The second physical healing was a hernia condition that I contracted while splitting wood in 2002. I took special care of this condition for years by being careful of not doing anything that would aggravate it. As a result there were certain things that I could not do any more like throw a base ball with my right hand or chop wood from the right side of my body. When the hernia got aggravated it was painful and the condition seemed to be worsening. I didn’t have any medical insurance and the only shot at an operation would be when I became of retirement age. In the fall of 2023, the subject of my hernia came up when I was speaking with my Precious Mother and what I said to was “I am sure nobody has any interest in healing my hernia.” I spoke this way to Her be because I thought that Jesus willed it to keep me humble. I have always had difficulty with excessive pride. But her reply was “No I will do this for you.” After that I didn’t give it any thought until March 2024. We had a snowstorm that left us with two feet of snow. I went to start the snow blower and it started up and then it stopped running. I did everything to try to start it again and it would not start. I was not a happy person to say the least and proceeded to shovel our 150 foot driveway by hand and all the paths around the house which took over three hours. I was thinking that my hernia was going to give me a lot of trouble the following day, but to my surprise, that did not happen. And, since then I haven’t had any trouble with it whatsoever and I am able to do all things. I am very grateful for this and profusely thanked Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love for helping me in this way.
The reason for writing the origin of the image down is because Our Precious Mother had asked me to do so. She suggested that I write this down including the healings is because she wants the world to go to her for their problems no matter what the difficulties are. If you received a healing from Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love send me message through the contact form on this website and I will write you back as soon as possible to get the details. I am wanting to add to this list all additional healings. Thank you in advance for your wonderful contributions.
Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love Nine Day Novena
It is through this novena: “The Nine Day Novena of Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love” that Our Precious Mother will quickly establish a very strong confidence and devotion to Her for those who pray it. Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love intends to make Her intervention well known under this title with this miracle-working novena. She invites all persons to pray it with the anticipation of receiving a cure for every possible malady and adverse circumstance. Under this title of Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love She is also the “Mother of Divine Love” and the “Mother of Mercy.” Therefore the benevolence of Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love is very rich in superabundance. The Goods of God, in the hands of Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love multiplies as She dispenses His Goodness inexhaustibly. The graces imparted, which is Her response to our petition, is always accompanied with the joy of what has been afflicted becomes healed. What has been divided is brought together. And, what is destroying a part of our life, will be put in a place of defeat. Because of her Benevolence and Love we should never hesitate in approaching Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love for our every need.
How to Say the Novena
To adequately make necessary preparations for sending our “daily arrow of love” to Our Holy Mother—which is our petition with the novena prayer attached to it—we say one chaplet of the rosary with much love and fervor. Upon finishing our Rosary, we then recite the novena prayer with much ardor of love and confidence, and this is how we set our arrow of love on fire, which is released from the bow of love in our heart. At the completion of reciting the novena prayer, our arrow of love is received with much affection by Our Precious Mother; and she is moved with much tender compassion after receiving such a magnificent gift with our petition.
There are no arrows that are prepared by our fervor and love, that go unreceived by Our Precious Mother. Divine love, which is in great quantity in our Mother’s heart is always restlessly anticipating love from her children; and when she experiences it, she delights exceedingly. In this we can have confidence that our request is accepted and held very dear. Prepare each day’s arrow of love with even more love and fervor. Our Precious Mother is wanting to collect all nine arrows released from our bow of love. We can be sure that with every passing day Her Love and Compassion for our request will be increasing. And we can expect all obstacles that prevent our prayer of petition from being realized to be removed, and our request granted.
Our Lady of the Cathedral of Novena Prayer: Day 1–9
My dearest Mother of the Cathedral of Love, a heart ignited by the celestial fire of Jesus’s Divine Love cannot find a better home than in Your Immaculate Heart. Our Hearts set on fire with Love of You and Love of Jesus is the great Mission of Love of your Immaculate Heart’s sovereign Cathedral of Love. Our Precious Mother, You unfold your beautiful heart to us to present a Life of joy and happiness that endures from now unto everlasting. What a beautiful gift to behold that awakens in us an unquenchable desire to dwell within. Oh my Immaculate Heart, my Beautiful Mother of Fair Love, and everything that is lovely. Your resplendence evermore exhibits the grace, elegance, and grandeur of Heaven. You who are so attentive to your children for their smallest act of love, only a few words or a sigh of love is enough to ignite your Beautiful Immaculate Heart into a fountain of benevolence for Your children. Knowing this we, Your loving children implore You to obtain for us the graces and favor of this novena which are: .

the beautiful facets of our Holy Mother's love
Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love is the Immaculate Conception who is inviting us all into her Heart for a Life in Her Heart. And the kind of invitation that She is extending, is that all of her children make Her heart their permanent home. And what this entails is that each child must keep, the reality of living in the Immaculate Heart of Mary first place in their lives. In fact every catholic must completely immerse themselves in all the wonders which are the gifts that they will inherit when they move into Her Heart. One of the wonders in Our Holy Mothers Heart, is the Cathedral of Love where each child will be abiding at all times. This is the great Cathedral that Jesus has built which is home to the true Roman Catholic Church.
An integral part of Life in Her Heart is receiving her love. And one of the ways we can anticipate receiving her love, is that She pours it out over us in the form of beautiful Immaculate Rays inside the Cathedral of Love. These beautiful Immaculate rays originate from Our Holy Mother as the Immaculate Conception. This love of hers, in an extraordinary way is uplifting, it builds us up, and fortifies us. It is Our Holy Mother’s desire that all of her children remain in a shower of this love at all times, and it is by remaining inside the shower of her Immaculate Love that we will be able to receive extraordinary protection. She wants for us to understand that these rays are a type of an enclosure. And what this means is that we need to be formed with the understanding that: we can either be inside the enclosure of these rays or outside it. There are so many things in today’s world that can pull us away from Jesus and our Holy Mother. When we get caught up in something that pulls us away, we are in danger; and now we need to get back into the enclosure of her Immaculate Rays for our protection. These Immaculate Rays also break the power of the evil one which gives us an enormous advantage in conquering temptation. Here is a prayer that we pray that as part of the Devotion of the Cathedral of Love that gives us an idea of what to expect:
Prayer to Remain in the Enclosure of Her Rays of Immaculate Love
My dearest Mother of the Cathedral of Love,
with Thy Rays of Your Beautiful Immaculate Love,
from “You who are the Immaculate Conception,”
keep me close to you every moment of my life.
In the sunshine of Your Beautiful Rays of Immaculate Love,
create for me an enclosure,
where your Immaculate Rays may stream upon me steadily,
so that I may know when I have,
unintentionally departed from them.
My Dearest, Precious Mother,
when I have strayed from the enclosure,
of Your Beautiful Rays of Immaculate Love,
fill me with fear of offending you,
so that I may hasten in my return,
to the loving protection of Your Beautiful Rays of Immaculate Love;
in the Cathedral of Love. Amen.
Another way that we can anticipate Our Holy Mother’s Love is in the form of “Fire of Divine Love,” which She has an endless supply of. So abundant is the supply of Divine Love in Her Heart that only one spark of divine love is necessary from Her to ignite one of the charisms of the Cathedral of Love in our heart called: “The Gift of Eternal Fire of Divine Love.” And this happens during the course of one of our initial visits from Our Holy Mother. It is during the time of Our Dialogue of Love with Her, that a spark of divine Love will become lodged into our hearts. And this spark soon becomes a flame that remains in our hearts for the rest of our lives here on earth and into the next. This flame, in fact, never goes out, and it is fueled by our many Dialogues of Love with Her, and it will soon become a raging flame of Divine Love in our hearts that empowers us to give vent to beautiful expressions of love for Our Precious Mother. If for some reason that a storm emerges in our life where the flame of Love in our heart is reduced to a smolder, we can anticipate that in the upcoming Dialogues of Love that the flame will reignite into its previous splendor. And this is why that it is through this charism that the Children of the Cathedral of Love become children of predestination.
What often occurs in my Dialogues of Love is that my Heart becomes raging with the fire of Divine Love, and it is in this condition that I cannot tell her enough how much I love her. Furthermore, in this state, my mind is continuously in search of new ways to express sentiments of Love as my heart rages on. When my heart is on fire with the fuel of the Divine Love from Our Precious Mother’s Heart, this is when I am strongest and happiest. And, it is at this time that my praise and prayer exceedingly venerates the endless joys of Our Beautiful Mother.
In yet another way we can anticipate receiving Our Precious Mother’s Love, which is Her Maternal Love that She has for each of us. This love of Hers works in connection with yet another charism of the Cathedral of Love, which is the charism of Continuous Companionship. (For a list of all the charisms in the Cathedral of Love go to the “The Charisms of the Cathedral of Love” page) It is in Her Maternal Love for us that Our Holy Mother is our loving Mother who is continuously looking out for us. It is in “Continuous Companionship,” that we become aware that She is present to us interiorly all the time. And, in addition to this, we also become aware, that She is aware of our every thought however small that they may be. It is in this way that we know that she is aware of everything that is happening to us. Just by her being present to us in this way at every moment has an enormous effect on how we live our lives. By her children being aware that she is present in an extraordinary way is: on the one hand the way she keeps her children from straying from her, and on the other hand is how she provides comfort for Her children by being with in arms reach at all times.
It is with her Maternal Love that She responds to our every need physically, spiritually, materially, and emotionally. And our every need can be discussed with Her in our Dialogue of Love with her where we are given the wonderful opportunity to experience Her speaking to us through yet another charism of the Cathedral of Love which is the Gift of Impulses of Divine Love. The last thing that I want to mention about her Maternal Love is that it is through this love that we experience the loving embrace of our Holy Mother. She is always there for us through all the ups and downs of life. When everything is going well She shares in our happiness with us. When we are having a rough time of it, She suffers our distress with us. She cannot separate herself from our sufferings and She will do whatever it takes to shorten the suffering that we are enduring. As a child of the Cathedral of Love, I have benefited from her Maternal Love through which she has provided for me: physical healings, giving me medical advice, guided me spiritually, and providing for my every material need.
In yet another facet of Our Precious Mother’s Love we experience Her as “Mother of Fair Love” which means that She is Beautiful Love for us. It is in this Love that we are immersed in all the time; this is the same love that Jesus, as a child, grew up in. And it is when we receive her Beautiful Love, that we receive into us all the beautiful attributes of Her Beautiful person. This is how she raised Jesus and this is how She will present her Children of the Cathedral of Love as a “Little Jesus” to the world. And it is these attributes that we inherit from our Loving Mother that transforms us and our families. It is in Her Beautiful love does every aspect of our lives also become transformed into her lovely image, which is, by the way, very pleasing to Jesus. It is His Mother’s Beautiful Love that He is most at home with. And when we are saturated with Our precious Mother’s Beautiful Love, Jesus will take a special interest in us, and shower us with His favor. Just one Child of the Cathedral of Love in a family will have an enormous impact on that family. When Our precious Mother’s Beautiful Love takes possession of our family it will in every aspect, resemble the supreme Goodness of God.
Beautiful Phenomenon regarding Our Precious Mother’s Love
The most outstanding of all charisms of the Our Lady of the Cathedral of Love intervention is Our Holy Mother’s Love. And this should not be surprising considering where this is all taking place which is in Our Holy Mother’s Immaculate Heart. Our precious Mother wanted me to relate some of the extraordinary phenomenon which is associated with the presence of Her Love. In the Cathedral of Love Our Holy Mother makes use of her love by producing extraordinary phenomenon to achieve a desired result. For example during the Welcoming Embrace of Her Love when her love descends upon us for the first time, Her love: full of harmony and sweetness produces an astounding sensation in our heart and soul. As soon as it enters our hearts the sadness, anxiety and fears disappear and then an indescribable tranquility comes over us. This is then followed by the warmth of Her Love accompanied by peace and joy that is purely divine. In the midst of this extraordinary occurrence our Precious Mother makes her self known to us Person to person; Heart to heart. In her love she clearly establishes herself as our Mother with a voice saying beautifully reassuring and caring words without us actually hearing an audible sound. And after the Welcoming Embrace of Her Love we enjoy a closeness with Our holy Mother in a way never before experienced.
A second phenomenon, which is no less wonderful that occurs in the Cathedral of Love is Miraculous Empowerment . I can only speak of may own personal regarding this, but I have experience this from our holy Mother many times. Miraculous empowerment stems from Our Holy Mother being our true and loving mother who has a difficult time enduring the suffering of her children. On many occasion, in exasperation, I have cried out to our holy mother for help. There have been times where everything dried up which is characterize by: no Divine Love in my heart, no zeal for the cause of the Immaculate Heart, no charity-love for others, a tepid and distracted devotion etc. In this state of distressed I ask Her for Her help, and Our Gracious Mother who always is serene replies in the affirmative with a “Yes” Impulse of Divine Love (see Impulses of Divine Love on the home page of theimmaculateheartofmary.com) After Her response to my request, I usually remind my self to be patient because the miraculous empowerment takes a little time; typically 2 to 3 hours. After a couple of hours, I am a new man: My zeal and love has returned. So also has my fervor in prayer and the desire to help others. Furthermore I am completely rejuvenated, filled with the vivacity of Life.
I have also experienced Miraculous Empowerment at times when once again when the difficulties of everyday life are too strenuous to carry, and I am at the end of my strength and I am weary, unset, and completely depressed. After about 12 hours of this state I will make a cry for help. Our Holy Mother, who knows what is going on, hates to see me like this. Once I make the request the same miraculous phenomenon repeats itself. During that time I gradually become stronger, my sadness and depression is replaced by joy. Also the vivacity of life once again fills my veins. Within a couple of hours I am, once again, a totally new person. I am telling jokes, and carrying on as though nothing had ever happened.
Another beautiful phenomenon that is present in Our Holy Mother’s Love are “sweet candies” that She gives her children in the Cathedral of Love. Once again I can only speak of myself; this phenomenon happens when I am doing or accomplishing something that She really likes. Or, I will even receive a “sweet candy” if I am thinking or saying something that She wants me to remember or to act upon. This phenomenon is in connection with the gift of tears. When I receive a “sweet candy” after doing something that she really likes I get this sudden inclination to cry, and also at the same time I receive inside of myself an overwhelming sweetness that could only come from paradise. The sweetness is so intense I can barely withstand just a few seconds of it. It is a very lovely experience. Our Holy Mother not wanting to spoil me too much gives me a “sweet candy” once or twice a week.
Another beautiful phenomenon that is also present in Her Love are “spiritual hugs” that you can experience both spiritually and physically. Our Holy Mother had requested that I write about these phenomenon. However, She intends for all of her children to receive these gifts in Her Love. Our Holy Mother uses the gift of “spiritual hugs” because, though Impulses of Divine Love is a beautiful gift, it is difficult for Our Holy Mother to express the emotion that she wants to express toward her children while using Impulses of Divine Love. However her “spiritual hugs” say everything that she wants to say. Once again I can only speak of my experience, Our Holy Mother gives a spiritual hug when I have been excessively complaining that my cross is impossible to carry. Or, she will give me a “spiritual hug” when the usual difficulties of life have become overwhelming.
And, then She will also give me a “spiritual hug,” out of the blue, just to say “I love you” which is very nice. Furthermore, She will also give me a “spiritual hug” to get me to say the words that she loves to hear me say which are: “I Love You Mamma” or “Yes Mamma, I Love You.” She will keep repeating the hug so that I will say the words “I Love You Mamma” again and again. I experience the “spiritual hug” just below the Heart as a band that is about 5 inches wide, which goes almost all the way around my body. And she tightens the band and then relaxes it. Then she will tighten it again. This is a physical sensation as well as a spiritual one. And all the while she is tightening the band she is filling you with an experience of her Beautiful Love. This is also a very lovely experience. The spiritual hugs can last up to 3 to 4 minutes. It is a wonderful show of emotion and love. I receive a “spiritual hug” about once a week. Everything I am relating is not an exaggeration nor is it imaginary. It is difficult for people to believe this but what I am relating is part of the Life that Our Holy Mother has prepared for her children in Her Heart.
