6. The following are the words spoken from the throne
of st. Martin and were published in a pamphlet shortly
afterwards. They were spoken by His Excellency, the
Bishop of Liege, Belgium, regarding the apparitions of
the Most Holy Virgin at Banneux from January 15 to
March 3, 1933. ----
"Regarding this event," His Excellency said, "1
should like to warn you against a two- fold Indifference:
Indifference towards the fact itself and Indifference
towards our personal share in the recognition of the
facto "
1. Let us not be indifferent ta the fact:
"Ooes not everything meri tour interest that is of such
nature as to quicken faith, enliven piety, increase con-
fidence, convert and save souls? .... Faith teaches us
that the Blessed Virgin is in Heaven, that She reigns
there in glory, and that She nevertheless interests her-
self efficaciously in Her children on earth. But if
She cornes to visit these children, appearing to one or
to several of them ..... is that not a sensible proof of
the compl iant goodness and the motherly ca re of our
Mother in Heaven? Such news certainly does not leave me
Indifferent, and anyone who has a filial love for the
Blessed Virgin must share my emotion. And undoubtedly,
one of the first effects of this emotion will be the
desire to know these facts better, to examine them
thoroughly, and to contribute as much as we can to
bring them to light.
2. Let us not be indifferent ta the recognition
of the fact: "Here we meet with the second of the in-
differences denounced above, the attitude of: 'It' s up
to the Church to bring these facts to light. Let the
Church do it. In the meantime, l'Il not make it my
concern.' Yes, i t' s up to the religious authori ty to
give an authentic decision to such facts, if it judges
a decision to be opportune. Suppose your unanimous de-
sire is realized and the tribunal 'approves' ..... don' t
you see the great effect of that sentence? It would bé
a source of great joy for millions of the faithful; it
would put an end to the doubts of many; it would give
a new and lasting impetus to the cult of the Blessed
Virgin ..... but that is still in the future. Must we
simply wait for it with our arms folded? Certainly not!
In the first place, it is not necessary for us ta have
an authentic judgment of the Church in order to admit
the truth of the apparitions; we can accept them either

7. on the basis of a personal study of the fact themselves,
of their development and their effects; or on the
authority of persons whose knowledge, prudence and
piety we know; or on the basis of special favors which
we might have received..... This personal conviction may
be expressed in pri vate acts of piety. Do not forget
that the important, final decision must be pronounced by
men. These men will be enlightened regarding these
facts more quickly and more fully, and their sentence
will be prompter and more explicit. Prayer can obtain
for them the light they need ta lead their investiga­
tions in the best direction, to furnish them with even
miraculous favors, capable of removing the least doubts.
For years l have united my prayers with those of
many others, pri.ests and lay people, that the truth of
this cause m~r shine forth ..... Since such official rec­
ognition i8 neither an individual nor strictly a local
grace, but since it is an immense collective grace.....
it is fitting, according to the ordinary ways of
Providence, to solicit it through collective general
prayer. "
(The apparitions at Banneux and Beauraing are the ~t
~ed apparitions by the Church.)

8. AUTHOR'S NOTE OF EXPLANATION
It should be explained here for the benefit of the
reader as to how this material was taken down and how it
came to be written up in the manner in which it appears.
All of the work given on the Fridays in Advent and
Lent is down here in exactly the words that were spoken
through ~ks. Van Hoof in her suffering.
During Advent of 1950 there were no words spoken
that were distinguishable. The first couple of Fridays
in Lent of 1951 there were words spoken and these were
recorded in writing, by two people, just as spoken and
are here presented as nearly correct as they could make
them.
From that time on during all the Fridays in Advent
and Lent everything was taken on either tape or wire
l recorders and so the wr1tten work could be checked
a ~ the wires or tapes to conhrm-their accuracy.
We have the W1res and tapes, which include in this group
the narrations given of the Passion.
The Anniversary Days and the Feast Days are written
up by Mary Ann Van Hoof and are included here in exactly
her words just as they were originally written. ~
ot el' work iven such as that ertaini cl
situation. urch work and all other woik given, is
written up by the author.
~~ere the words as spoken could be used, in many
cases they were used. However, due to the stress and
strain of suffering and other cond~s, often times
that could not be done. The true story of the word
pi.çtures as transmitted to me, l then put on paper to
the best of my ability. Th 'ls i e ed much with
the tran~mi sion 0 ~~. as exp a1ne ~n
t e 00.
Ev~rything written has been read and checked over
by Mary Ann Van Hoof and expresses in a true and accurate
manner those things which she saw in visions.
In aIl th1ngs we tr1ed to follow the directions
of CÀ.!r HolX Mother and of the Sain-!s through wlu>m sorne
of Hel' messages were transmitted to the~ of our
ability.

11. those who are too swelled with pride to have in thelr
hearts the grace of Gad; who, though representatives of
Christ on earth, have in their great pride of intellect
a110wed themselves, either willingly or otherwise, to
be blinded to the truth.
l believe that those who have in their hearts any of
the grace of God and in their minds any ability to
reason, cannot help but find in these messages and revela­
t~ truth which will ma:ke--tà-ellwDllcb bet~s
{ th~rg now. This truth makes up what Our Lady
liâS-Said is a-râst effort to draw souls to God before
His Hand strikes in punishment. l can now see very
Sv ( plainly why these reve lations must be made known by a lay
person instead of by a priest or religious. They, in
ent~ring ioto Ehat life, had to place themselves under
the strictest obedience to their Superiors, that a
priest's obedience is first to his Bishop.
That demand of sJrict obedie~ce has been d~ctated
more as a matter of pride tfian the will of GOd; ln fact
'1 it has interfered with the Will of God. If you go to a
Priest for advice on anything other than those things
which are strictly a matter of .Faith and MoraIs and are
definitely covered in the book, you can be sure that his
advice is going to coiuci~e w~hat whicb he knows
wouïd agree with the ideas of his Superiors. He dare not
makë~t otherwis~. He without doubt knows of Priests who
have dared to express opinions other than in agreement
with their Superiors who have been dealt with very harsh­
ly, who have been demoted in position or have even been
)l banished to the mission fields in sorne forgotten part of
the world. never ta return. There are very few pnests)
wfiQ dare buck against that possibility, even though in
the eyes of Gad they know they are right.
Had a few more Priests been willing to take martyr­
dom upon themselves for the sake of truth in the past,
perhaps so many of them would not now face martyrdow in

Country. In many places that purge is now in progress.
In many places the Church has nearly been destroye~
One great difference between the True Church and
the churches:of other denominations is the acceptance of
Our Lady. ·Our Holy Mother". We are taught to pray
through Her to Her Divine Son, Our Lord and God. As a
convert to Catholicism that was one of the e~st things
in the teaching of the Catholic Church for ~o accept,
because to me it was plain logic. Our Holy Mother is

12. tP.e.....~.Qthe?l of one member of the Blessed Trini ty and the
~OÙS~Of another and so Rer influence with God is most
certalnly assured.~
The Catholic Church teaches us these things. She
was given to us by Our Lord as our Roly Mother, just
before Re died on the Cross on Mount Calvary. Why then
is it that whenever She acts as a true ~bther and appe:a:rs
here on earth to warn us and to pro.!ect us and give us
l more chance than we deserve, why is lt that the same
Cl!..urct!.- thaLShe is tLY-1..!lg_1&-.p..I_otect:: îs so cold towârd

( Rer way? Why have they delayed acceptante untl! the
warnings She gave are too late?
I t took th i r ty years to approve 0 f Our Lady' s ap­
pearance at Fatima. Rad the Church taken hold and spread
that message-a5 it should have been, a great world
catastrophe could possibly have been avoided, World
War II, with its loss of millions of lives, great suffer­
ing on the part of people aIl over the world, famine,
starvation for many and great persecution of the same
Church, i-hat Chursh-th.a..t.-1ta.S so cold, so cold to Qg]:
Lady when She appeared with a message that might have
her:oed to avoid that great catastrophe.
, Now the Vorld is faced with even greater catas­
lj trophe, Vi th ttLe...-.passible annib_ilatîon ot tng whole
l 1human race, with much greater persecution for the Church,
the greatest persecution in history.
Again Our Roly Mother has appeared here on earth in
a last minute desperate effort to save Rer erring chi Id­

ceived the same cold, cold, frigidly cold reception on
the part of the Church of Rer Son.

But after aIl consideration have come ta the conclusion
that l will give very nearly as it was given to me.

Right after dinner the next day we ail went in the pickup truck ta

The next mornin May 2~ Fred took me ta Mass scheduled
for 6: 30 a.m. What ma ërnêgO ta the rectory ta inquire about Mass
1 do not know. 1 went ta the back door and knocked, had ta wait a
few minutes before someone came ta the door. Helen Lengowski,
Father's sisteL-answered the door. She told me Fatherwa~and
woulct· have ta rest for a couple of days. She didn't really kno~at
was the matter with him but._she seemed worrieil.TtOloliêr 1 hoped it
was not tao serious. She said she reaUy didn't think sa, but it wa..,s If

1 was worried about it forIDur Lad had said ta me ta fast and ~
go ta Mass and ta Communion dal ,sa asted an~way. This moming
seemed sa stran e ta me, such a bewildered feé fng. Oh, so many
tlungs went t raug my mm , w y me. 0 y of your sins and
wrongs seem to come back to your mind, one can't explain the feeling
that cornes over one while waiting. 1 shivered like 1 was cold.JD~eth

of expectafion and yet a feel~. 1 know this does imt lrrnKe

Araund Il :30 a.m. 1 went and broke off the two lilac blossoms.

Rosary earIer in the year and she lost it, so she bought the blue ,g~ary
as a gift for me. 1 ~wa~_happy to hay-dt as 1 loved th ql cillor blue.
So 1 had the blue Rosary and the two blossoms in m hand waiting
very nervously. If seems one s ears of seein el' eave, one does not
s~m io have control as the moments come c oser and your eyes look
for the blue mist. Ali 1 recall is, 1 went towards the Spot as if a magnet

When She asked me to kiss Hel' foot, 1 thought to myself that
it will be cold, and tQJ!1Y s!1rprise it was warm and feh like real flesh,

and that seemed so hard to do for the Wounds and the BloOO looks
so real and the strangest thing of ail to me was that OuL1&J;P wa
nailed at the wrists and the Crown was not plaited, but ~wisted
together and put on His head. The side Wound was not on the left

was over the right.

That evening we, that is Fred and l, went to the rectory to find

31. out how Father was and if there was Mass the next morning. When
we got there, Helen and his mother were sitting on the porch, also
an uncle of Father, a brother to his dad. We were informed there was
no Mass as Father was too sick yet, they still didn't know what was
wrong. l had written up the first Message, so l sent that upstairs with
mother Lengowski. We talked to his uncle, he had been fishing at the
river, he was saying how bad the mosquitoes were. Then we.JefLiQr
home pr:.omising them that we woJ!ld pray fo~.Eather. Father said he
would let me know when he was able to say Mass. The next day still
nq. Mass,3lthough l fasted, so l worried about it for l felt Qu.!:. Lady
wanted me to fulfill Her request. The moming again seemed to drag,
and yet the last half hour seemed to pass so quickly. One always haS]'
the feeling of unworthiness, also sadness, heaviness over the. heart,
mingled with joy. l know this sounds rather funny, but it is ~rd
to_ explain one's feeling in an experience like this. ­
T.he _hour of twelv.e~I!Q2n arrived, then one forgets everything.
l do not hear anythmg. I-"'See the Blue Mist and as soon as l stepped
through the door, Our Lady would appear. Oh so beautiful, such a
brilliance of light and radiance, l can't describe. She al~y':s would

that we....should_pray .there ëÏaily .andthat anyoIle-eISë..ma},_Qravtfiëfe.
Then She asked me to mark the Spot, the only thing 1 could find
was sorne wood chips. 1 marked the place to my left first, about two
feet or more narth of the fence that gave the width, and to the right
of me. 1 first marked it about four feet long. "NC!.:':" She said l "just a
/ittle more over, that is it." That is how it is still marked at this writing.
She told me to tell the Priest exactly how She looked and to have
~ue ma<.!!L9llier t2-Rut on the place of Apparition and a large

ruclfix to put on the Village Bluff.
This was so strange, I.,)'1lw~s fgt a~me~u~a!!vsounworthy.
but as She said 1 was to descrioe Her to my"'~stor, It seemèdffiY eyes
traveled_over -HeS--Fithou.t çoIJJrol 0J_myself. Just for a minute T
wondered how tall She was.
Then She took my Rosary and touched it again with the Crucifix
Ilof Her Rosary. She told me Lw.a.s......thinking.of cutting my hair short
and She told me to leave it ju~t ~s thev are.
After touching my Rosary, She sure surprised me about my hair.

M~ Gad bless her.
"From childhood on until today the Stations of the Cross hflY..e

Child."
This night 1 again sta.yed up ta write the Message and then
retired ta bed. The next day, May 31st, still no ward from Father.
Towards noon, Father and his mother came out. Mother Lengowski
had brought out a big bouquet of flowers ta put on the Spot. B~ tir.J>t( 1
1 had laId Father m~experience and.1hen...he-..d~ess­
illg of the Spot. Then aU of us said a few pr~rs. After that 1 told
Father of the literaIure Mrs. had Ieft~but 1 didn't have

smd he never heard of ~a. SQ 1 sentloanne ta getïe 1 gav~lcm4fl.lm.

J-fe said he would like ta read it sa he kept it.
' ------.
Aiso told Father that Our Lady asked me ta kneel before H~r
l
Stat.!1e in Çhurch and that 1 was ta ask him and he would teU me wh~e
toJm.~l. Yes, he said he would put a chair for me near the communion
rail, that is where 1 could sit. After that, Father left for home.
On June Ist, 1 started my Penance of fifteen days fast, Mass and
Communion of course, every day, for that was the-first dây -Pather
wéÏS abkto say Mass after Sunday, May 28th.
One of the first Priests to come out was Father Stanley; he came
with Father Lengo~ski to the Spot. He asked 'alê'w- questions which
1 answered-:t'hë rest of the week was quiet.
1 wrote to Fred's brother, George, about the three days and told
him to keep quiet. But it seems Our Lady wished otherwise for the
results were 28 people on Trinity Sunday.
On Trirtity SUnday~ne 4, 19SOô)Fred, Joanne and 1 went ta
ten o'd~k Mass as Our ady ha~!~~ested that 1 kneel b~~er

our pew, fre<! an<LLgenenûly taKe.tne same pew ~~hin(Lthe ~.isters,
1 said' a few prayers as it was not yet ten o'dock and Father had not
retuIJhed from the Mission Church.
1 felt very nervous about going up there. Where 1 was kneeling
1 could not see a chair. Oh, 1 thought, did.Eath~U9rg~t 1 must go up
!l.!.~!e'LS.uddenly 1 heard Father's footsteps coming and passed me
-12­

34. going towards the Altar to get ready for Mass. After he h_ad gone
to the ~acris!X.l..-got_~p,_w~nt to the communion rail and knelt-bêfOfe
Our Lady. 1 knew ail eyes of l'ne-congregatIon were on me and that
l therewere...ma~_ wlLys .and_questions.. Qne could fëenrTnOrlê'srrnnd.
1 was wondering how, as Our Lady had said She would be with
me. 1 could not notice anything different. But as Father and the servers
came from the Sacristy to the Altar to start Mass, Our Lady's Statue
lin Church seemed to come alive. Oh how Beautiful that Statue became.
[ lo me. Shenowlooks so drab, so dUif compareô tOTnnity Sunday.
1950.
Her eyes that day seemed tQ.look-.right at me, while in the Statue
they looked down, Her face seemed so different. The Statue looked
brighter and during_~ather's. sermon Our La<1Y. seemed to smile as if
S~uleased W~tJ:l what Father was saying. As soon as Mass was
over and Father was leaving the Altar the Statue changed to it's former
self. Tt looked down again and lost its brightness.
After Mass we went home and as we got near home J.- saw five
or s.ix_cars in our yard. anÈ-a bunch oLp~le_~J!Lthe_S-poI:.QL~ppari­
tions. The groupimmedlately spoke to me. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Thoma,
Captain Eddie and wife, George and Ann Van Hoof, T recognized
for they were here May 27th. But there were the Hartjes and Mrs.
Nicholai and sorne friends, Jarvis and Ruth Miller, also our niec~
Minnie. T can't recall who sorne of the others were. Oh, they were ail
so excited andone of the men in a brown suit (as we al~ay_s identify
(l1:lim) who had just returned from F~ L(~s and RoWe, had a

Fred and "Bernard a Rosary blessed by the Roly Father.
They were ail so excited, especially one lady, her husband was
more quiet, Lalso felt he did not believe.
At Il: 30 T excused myself and went into the house, prepared
dinner and said some prayers with the feeling of expectation and of
sadness and joy until twelve noon.
Just before twelve noon, Father arrived.
Just before noon, the group was circled around the Spot saying

On May 29th 1 had placed the liJac b~§tom into the cross
1 marked on the ground and then placed the foc
upon them. Sa when
I(She said for me to pick it up, one of the ftowers to my surprise 1
noticed tha therc was onl one or two kft and that was under ffiC
r~. 1 also placed the Rose rom eaven on t e roc , t at was the"
Lipa Petai the man in the brown suit gave me. After Our Lady (dt'
and 1 was about to get up there came a strong gust of wind and the
Rose Petai started ta fty away. so 1 picked it up and put it with the
two pieces of liIac 1 had picked up. 1 started ta waIk away and Father
followed me. He took my arm, so then 1 headed for his car and T was
quiet for a few moments until 1 got control of myseIf and Father asked
me if 1 cared to tell him anything·and 1 told him 1 would tell him later.
T did say to him that Sh~entioned about c1eaning out our schools.
-
And T mel}tiçm~ to him T W8S to go to him for guidance and he nodâed.
A lady, Father and T were standing next
----
to each other. Shc did
most of the talking and was telling Father of her work that she was
doing for the "IeILthe.. J~eoDle...J:.ir.oup." Then she gave Father iïlO7e
liferature. Father then said that he would have Benediction in Church.
-14­

36. Somehow someone mentioned that 1 had not eaten as yet and 1 said
no, 1 didn't have even a drink. Father said, "you better go and eat:'
When 1 got into the house the relation were there and someone said,
"come on folks if you are going to Benediction." So 1 laid the fiowers,
th~ Rose Petai from Heaven and sorne pampWets on the table and left
for Church. After Bene~iction a couple came out to th~ farm again
and the whole group including the man with the browl1 suit stayed
( until 7: 30 p.m. that evening, talking.
1 let them tead- part of the three day's Messages 1 had written
down. For the main Message 1 had given to Father. We also planned
on buying an Arbot to make a tempotary Shrine. Joanne Iooked up
the priee of it and so between them they gave me $16.00 to order one
1from Sears' catalogue under thenext day. They planned 7: 30 and then. 1

On the evening of J~ 5th. four Priest· came to the house,
they were Father An.thQn-âgçne aCrosse Chaneery and
Editor of the Register, Father Robert Agnew from, New Lisbon; Father
Ra~ond Schultz, a native Qf Necedafl:who had a parish at Abbots­
for; and Fa1her Val Rykowski from Milwaukee. They ail IQoked at
the GQod Friday crucifix and then Father Wagener went right tQ the
point. Present in the rQQm was mQther, Fred, JQanne and myself and
the fQur Priests. Father Lengowski did nQt come with them.
After the questioning Father Val asked me to describe Our Lady
tQ hirri~ He said he thought fie kn6Y. someone thaï cOllla pajnt Her.
-15­

37. Just before they left, mother told Father Val she would like to
donate or buy the Statue herself as she was my mother. So FAl;her Vl!,l
gave her his address in Milwaukee. Then they ail said goodnight and
When Fatber WaiWoer shook hands, he grasped my hand very hard
1
( and asked me, "do you still fee) 1 don't believe you?" Tears came into
his eyes and he tumed aroUridand left.
After they left mOLiler and Fred were so astonished at the way
1 answeroo the Priest.
1 thanked Our Lady for helping me with it all for without Her
1 wouId have been a complete failure, 1 am sure onhat. For ordinarily
1 wouId have been too frightened to talk to any Priest or any official.

The nex,~ morning before Fred and 1 got up there were fQUr ladies
alread~e yafd~ We took them along to Church and when we came
out there were sQID~pe.npLe...waiting-1Q see me. One was Joe Bngel
from Appleton. He said he had a sick b~th him. He took."1i1ë1o
the car where !!?~:.. ~n~arents were waiting. e mtro uced
me ta them and tfieir name was Fullerton. The baby nad a skin ailment.
It had only two layers of skin instead of three, so any friction could
cause sores. It was hard to look at such a health husky-Iookin boy,
for those sores orr llm were sure au. 1 said a ew prayers an prom­
lSëa to pray for film. 1 told them 1 could oot promise ta ask about hi
when Our Lady came,-bqtj-wo~Àfter that 1 went home and
founa many people in the yard. Stanley Pieza and J2e and Art Siegler
came and asked me to kneel near the Sacred Spot and hoId the Rosary,
as 1 held it for Our Lady. 1 did for Joe and A(t told me it was alright ta
take pictures-.ioLtheJ_ecord later on. As Stanley Pieza had gone to
Eurçœean Shtines and wanted also to have this, 1 allowed them to
1tltt:e pfcfures. 1 later discovered Father had not told them to take
Ipictures, but it was then too late.
Many people and relatives started to arrive. Priests and Sisters
~ were here from Necedah and other places. The Aspirants from Necedah J
. walked out as they wantedJ.9.Jl!ake i,t a Pilgrimage. There were eighteen
of them, 1 believe. Many of the people wanted ta ~e me and begged
me to pray for them.
One lady came into the house and was cryjpi hystericaHy bec~se
II sile knew she was cured of Asthma. l'his lady upset me very much
wiUi fier crymg and the way she sobbed and wrung her hands. This all
was so very trying on one's nerves, for this was ail so strange and
unusual. J fell sorry for her and happy for her cure.
-16­

38. Father Wa~ener did not want any pictul'es taken, sa he was in
and out of the ~ouse watching the photographers and he a.lso wanted )
the people ta stay back from the door and keep dear orny, R!!!.h ta the
Sacred .§pot, sa they strung l'opes and wire ta keep the peQple back.
The people kept crowding and trying ta c1imb or stand on higher
abjects. They were w~l1}ed ta silly_off the ._b~sement door as it was
poo.L.. ~d ms not strong. AlI of a sudden we heard a noise in
the kitchen around Il: 15 and hearq the-.Q.oor br~k with six people
[ f.l!lling-d!>wn and a big, heavy-set lady fell down and broke her ankle
and 1 saw them carry her on a chair between themselves ta the car.
1 said sorne prayers for heI, for as they_ cërr~d Q~r !Je!!. sarry for her.
She later said it was her tault, she should have listened ta tne warning
and ~ed otLt~ basement door. Later it was rebuilt wifh heavier
i nhmks. It was very hard for me ta bear with aIl the excitemeÏÏt of
people, then this lady being hurt and other people still pushing, trying
ta get into the house.
Father Wagener wanted me ta put a shawl over my face sa they
1couldn't take pictures of me, but he changed his mind about that the
last minute. The relatives élll want~d ta he!lr..about-if:--and so-it-wa-iJust
a continuation of questions repeated over and-Gver.
Il Father Wa~ener also made the arrangement with Father Schultz
t~at right after t e Apparition.1 ~~ ta go ta the C~~nt tfirough our
back field as the people were pressing toward our door wanting ta see
me.
About Il: 00 a.m. or sa, a Capuchin Father from Appleton came
in and he talked ta me, he was very kind ana nice. A toung iirl came
while he was talking ta me and wanted ta see me. Heold her, no she
couldn't. This same girl had a very unusual experience-nUer ame
Apparition.
. _ A.ftçr tbe Apparition she tried ta ~tQP JJ1~n the w~y_ to the bouse.
-17­

39. The Priests and those with me wouldn't let her. Then she went to the
Sacr~dSpot and klSsed JJi~Spot and while watchLr!gller }Oè Ei1gel
saw her face glow as..sheJ..aised herself up and a change. of ~rêSsion
1
cam~over her. 1 thought it was best to explain what happened-to this
girl nowi"nstead of later.
Around Il :30 a.m. Father Wagner asked everyone to leave the
room except our own fami1y, so 1 could be alone a few minutes hefme
the Apparition.
AQout fifteen minutes to twelve noon, Father Lengowski asked
m~a~lU2.~.~a~ to show us a sign, that was the last thihg he said
to me before fie went out.

Then 1 asked Her about the little baby. She said, "Prayers, My

The picture is the one mentioned in the June 16th Message where
the trees before me would disappear, and ail 1 coulcLs~ ~e
activity of a very large city. Hustle of people, cars, trains, busses and
Il everything nor!]laJ. 1 could see the sign with the nameon iCllndalso

"destruction," is a nasty word, but still it does not seem so _b~ad,J:ven

ing structures, vehicles, animais, trees. Oh it js horrig,le, to tliirik man

when a stalk cutter gues over a corn field, not even a half-Ieaning
building. The fe_w survivors raised them~lves with mangled anns or
face, clothing in shreds, 1eaning on each other for support, looking
where to go; for there was no place to go and out of the city for Illiles
ail vegetation, trees, and animaIs were al! destroyoo. In the midSt of
this destruction one could see bodies with he'iias, limbs, an ann or leg
scattered here and there MId then 1 noticed a blood'y perfion, yes, a
man was looking Heavenward, pleading and screaming for elp, when
it was too late. Everything was destroyeçi, even his 10v.ed.-ODes; fQr
before him lay either his wife, mother, sweetheart or sist~r. A-Ùe
strained his arm Heavenward his internaIs bUTst forth ~with blood and

she didn't want to push herself ahead of others. "Yes," 1 said, "that's

47. A Priest from Iowa stopped me and asked if there would be any
Miracle like at Fatima, that sure wou Id help those disbelievers. 1 said,
"No, 1 don't expect any miracles at ail." He said that would relieve
me of mllch persecution. 1 ~told tilt' persecution WOüIëI~vere
and 1 told Our Lad)' 1 was reaJy""aiiêf willing-to accepf. FIe salêT: oh
thàfswonderful buthe~ouldliJ(ë to see a"l'nîracle. 1 said, "That's
up ta Our Lady, 1 would nolask fOJ:..auy." With this 1 went5aek î-;;-to
the nOlISe. O'ther peoplë were pressing forward, so 1 thollght 1 better
get away.
As 1 entered 1 was called to the back. One of the Committee men
wanted to know if there wouId be enough room for the relatives'
cars in the small pasture by the barn and if it was..OK t9 {mt broad­
castj~ e~ÏEment in the cow yard, they would put a platform frailer
truck for the camëra mëÏ1 to stand on. 1 told them 1 thought it would
be alright; just then 1 saw Fred so 1 sent the man to him. Sorne more
cut f10wers arrived which 1 took in and gave to Joanne.
Father Scheetz told me of sorne Rosaries the people c1airoed
c~d. What did 1 think? 1 said, "That's ail possible, Father." He
thought maybe Our Holy Mother had said something about it to me,
"No, Father, She did not." He said there sure are a lot of people
Pulling in. He asked about plùg his recorger, if it was.-QK? "Y...es,
F~r." Matt Haack, the ~ian, 1 heard, fixed a plugJ9r~e­
corcrers _~nd JouLsp..~~ system, ~e then went out to the Spot.
Joanne was busy with sorne other women placing flowers. Sorne ladies
in back were folding !ite,rature, Our Lady's Message _of. MM 2r29,

broug,ht _several thousand of them .from- K~nosh.a. He asR:ed me if
there was anything he could do or if 1 needeoanything? l s<iliL "No,
thanks, John, fol' ail you have done." He asked about putting a te1e­
(phone in. "J.ohn, 1 would be. swamped with phone ,caBs.';, "Yes, you

48. Did 1 ever see 59 Many people in one place hefore? "No, j
oever did. but tomOITOW we'll ~ lQû,OQO or over." They asked why
1 said that. "Did the Blessed Virgin tell you that?" "No. Why or the
reason 1 cannot exvlain, just like 1 say many things which no one
tells me, it just cornes out, calI it what you like." "Is it a voice From
within you?" "No, 1 just say it, that's aIl. There is no voice From
within, nor do 1 hear anyone when 1 say those str.§lnge things. li
surprises and frightens me a!.. times, that it is n~t me sayiQgjt, b!!.t
being)nspired by someQne higher up, for 1 surely would notestimate
lOQ,9(~Lpeople,-'!s_thehigh_est ~ou1d have been_lO,OOO."
By this time a small group had gathered -and 1 then w~t back
into the house. The family was doing chores, Math Haack had finished
with the floQ..d.Jights and was leaving, "à1ter a few words. He felt sure
everything would be OK. Our electric men had come in the afternoon
and put up a sepflrate transforpvox or whatever it was caIled, also
a separate meter. 1 believe the Committee paid the lights that were
used at night for the people. The family had supper and my rel~tives
arrived, my brothers and sister-in-Iaw, Rose, her mother, sister-in-Iaw
also Godmother. They were aIl in the house which made us very
crowded.
Juliet and a lady friend came with her apd Oswald, her cousin
the dentist. Fred said something about sayifig the family Rosary.
"Oh," 1 said, "we can answer it from here 1I-s they are leading it.'
1 don't know who suggested, "Let's pray by:the ~Bot," but someone
~t _out-1!!ld told a man al the micJophonl} that we were coming_out
to say our Family Rosary. Oh, no, 1 could have sunk through the floor)
It had been done, so we ail filed out in front of the Statue. Bob
Schmitt and a Mr. Mooney helped to cIear a path and we went
through inside the kneeler gate by the Statue, and to my shock they
asked me to lead the Rosary. Was 1 shakyl 1 couldn't refuse-beeause
what 1 said would go -rig!;lt into the micro'p'lione. So 1 lead tbe-RâSary,
1 didn't even know my mysteries. 1 was so nervous and in a way
dTsgusted because, to my shack and horror, Mr. M and B
S were both ~runk. They were sorne of the maiii~Comnuttee
men from Milwaukee. To be drunk ~t the Sacred Spot was ven'yis­
gusting and it hurt, as both of these men helped with putting up the
Statue, the Crucifix on tjle~luff, also the kneelers. AIl 1 could think
of was, "God forgive them." On the way back to the house 1 saw
L S brother of B and the head of the Committee and he
too,had toomuch. - _.
. Joe Engei spoke to me and he said 1 did fine. "Oh no, 1 didn"t.
1 ·was sa nervous 1 didn't know the mysteries. 1 didn't intend <:to
Jead, only follow the rest." Joe laughed and saidj "You -did'1ine, your
voic-e carried very cIear." 1 believe if 1 could have disappearea some­
where 1 wouJd have done so. There w:ls a knock atthe -baëK-door
