Samantha's Story

In early August of 2005, Samantha was attending Mass. Throughout the Mass she felt surrounded with what seemed like some warm protective cloud or shield. As the priest elevated the chalice at the Consecration, she saw Jesus standing directly behind the priest. Jesus was doing precisely what the priest was doing – all the words, the gestures.

 

The message was vividly clear: the priest is identified with, and stands in the place of Jesus as the Sacrifice of Calvary becomes present in the Mass. She was in deep awe. It was when Samantha received the Holy Eucharist that she began to experience excruciating pain in both hands . . .

Samantha's Story Continues After the Book

Samantha continues on in her pray life with Jesus. Read through some of the messages she’s received through the grace of the holy spirit since the book.

 

"There is a woman living in the United States who became deeply aware of God’s love for her, as she was led to reflect over the Passion and death of Jesus. In prayer she felt led to say Jesus: ‘’ Let me help you carry your cross.”  Jesus heard that prayer and she now relives the suffering of Jesus in a limited way in her own body, with pain experienced in her hands and feet and side. She feels she is called to unite her sufferings with the suffering of Jesus, especially for priests and families. Her calling echoes what St. Paul spoke about his letter to the Colossians: “Even now I find my joy on the sufferings I endure for you. In my flesh I fill up what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ for the sake of his body, the church. "

"God is still calling us today – trying to get our attention to something that is vital importance: salvation is available only through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He continues to remind us through inviting individual souls to witness to the reality of what he did for us by dying on the cross of Calvary. "
