A small but steady pilgrimage has begun in the state of Georgia, to pray with the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary that has appeared in a window. With See and believe! The miraculous Virgin Mary window, this writer entreated readers to view the beautiful original video by Justin Stroh several times in order to see the Virgin Mary's image in the glass, hinting that there is even more to behold within it than the Blessed Virgin's image.

 

Initially, viewing the Virgin Mary window was done primarily through the creation of a website. People all around the world have looked at the awe-inspiring window via the internet. It has been a great honor to author several exclusives about the miraculous window having the image of the Virgin Mary, along with testimonials of those who have shared their experiences with me. Gradually, one person after another has gone to see the Virgin Mary window, mostly from the local Southeast Georgia area.

 

Our Lady of the Trinity by Justin Stroh

 

 

Yesterday (10/8/09), Greg Sapp was interviewed by The Coastal Source about the holy image of the Blessed Virgin Mary which appeared on his garage window in 2006, but was only shared with the public several months ago. With this news coverage, more of the curious and the Catholic faithful will make the time to see the masterpiece from heaven for themselves. The Sapp family has arranged morning and evening rosary prayer times to accommodate pilgrims. Gregory Sapp says that "wherever the Virgin Mary is, the Holy Spirit is."

 

Bringing another exclusive, read a testimonial from Cathy Tverberg, who was the first pilgrim to travel from another state, California, to spend time in the presence of Our Lady in Jesup, Georgia. In a recent phone conversation, Cathy stated that the Sapp family was a true blessing to her. Mrs. Tverberg shared that, "They will never know the impact they both made on me. I came home refreshed in the spirit of LOVE and MANKIND. They are a shining example of the gospel …to truly love your neighbor."

According to Cathy, “I felt something upon entering the room, immediately I was on my knees, in awe.  To me it was the same feeling I feel when I am in the presence of our Lord in the Eucharist.

"As I prayed I noticed that the image seemed to be alive, as I prayed Hail Mary prayer in my head and heart, I could she her face more clearly, I could define her veil, and the ripples or folds in the material, I could she her hair, and next as I was looking at her I saw eyes, starring at me, HUMAN eyes, I saw the white part with the iris. Her veil flowed to the bottom of the frame of the window.

"As I stood there looking closely at the image I was thinking that it is portioned to an actual size that I believe Our Blessed Mother would be. The eyes portioned to the head. I could see the image change as I viewed her, her hands and fingers defined, and it looked to me as if she was holding a rosary.

"Below her hands was a perfectly round Eucharist from the host flowed two rays, like the Divine Mercy rays, inside the rays were tiny little angels flying into the rays, to the center of the Eucharist. As time went by this too would change at one point I saw a child Jesus’ face.

 

"Above Mary’s head there were other images, at first I saw an angels face, like that of a chubby child, this was just the head as it pushed itself forward, then that image changed and I saw a small two inch in size cross with Jesus hanging on it, I could observe the folds in his cloth around his waist, his arms extended outward.

"To the right of this image, down below I saw the  Immaculate heart of Mary, this image changed too as I was viewing it, I saw it turn into an angels face as well.

"This window is truly that of  Divine nature, a  phenomenon, the image of Our Lady seems to float, it is not on the glass, but between it. This image should be shared with all of her children, the world!"

    Thank you for this wonderful article.
    As a tree is considered good if it bears good fruit, so Mary is lauded for the sake of her Son. All the angels of God adore the Child Jesus that was born of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit.
    Praise be to God.

    You're welcome, Deborah. It is such an honor that my Lord and my Lady have made me a part of this miracle from heaven and to be used to bring others to knowledge of and belief in our Lord Jesus Christ, our redeemer.

    I agree the FRUITS of this truly divine window are all positive, people are praying, they are coming from all over to seek their Heavenly Mother, to gather and to glorify God by praying the rosary, and to give thanks and praise to MARY, "The Mother of All People". Thanks to the SAPP family who have opened their hearts and life to doing God's will. Thank you for your shinning example of the gospel and your love of neighbor. And thank you Ms. Navarra for using your God given talents and writing my testimony. Through your writing, MARY united with the Holy Spirit, will be shared with her children who are searching for her, and are in such need of her motherly love. May you all be blessed by our Lord Jesus.

    St. John Damascene says that the Holy Spirit surrounds the images of the saints with a certain halo of grace. How often a soul sunk in sin has been touched and converted by the sight of an image; how often have pictures comforted and encouraged devout persons, especially at the moment of death!
    Praise be to Jesus Christ our Lord, obedient Son to His Heavenly Father and born of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit.
    In Domino

    As the bush burned with fire and was not consumed, so Mary's virginity was not impaired by the birth of Christ; as Our Lord appeared in the midst of the apostles although the doors of the room where they were assembled were shut, so Jesus came into the world, and her chastity remained intact. So the sun shines through glass without in any wise changing it. Mary is the window of heaven, through which the true Light came into the world.
