“Dear Spirit daily,

“I read one recent account of one of your readers explaining how they saw many angels at Mass surrounding the altar. After reading that account, I’d like to share with you what has occurred to me during each Mass for the last few years.

“When the priest says the words, ‘Send down Your most Holy Spirit upon these gifts and become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ’: Once the priest makes the Sign of the Cross after repeating these words during the Consecration, I see and am aware with the eyes of my heart that Mary is always kneeling at the right side of the priest (the priest’s right side as he’s facing the congregation) and Saint Joseph is always on Mary’s right side also kneeling in adoration of Jesus.

“She will appear each time in different colored veils and gowns and so will Saint Joseph. It seems to change each Mass and based on her colored veil and dress, it will become apparent to me which past apparition she seems to be at that moment.

“She has appeared to me as Our Lady of Fatima, Lourdes, Medugorje, Sorrows, the Immaculate Heart, Guadalupe, Kihebo, Knock, the Angels, the Rosa Mystica, and Mount Carmel. Saint Joseph is always dressed in brown, brown and tan, or brown and green.

“They both are always kneeling next to the priest in adoration of Jesus and remain there until the priest consumes the Precious Body and Blood of Jesus.

“At times I will be aware of many angels also bowing in adoration of Jesus. What this has shown me is that there is so much that happens at that magnificent part of the Mass and I am on high alert waiting for that special moment at each liturgy.

“Once I receive Jesus and I go back to the pew, I always say the Saint Michael prayer, then I say, ‘Jesus, I consumed You and You totally consumed me. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’

“At that point, I am made aware of an interior personal message for me from  Jesus, the Holy Spirit, God the Father, the Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph, and a variety of saints and sometimes either Saint Michael or Saint Gabriel.

“They each give me encouraging words and perhaps direction for that moment or day but always point to our Triune God.

“I’m not stating this as if I am someone special, but I would just like for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to realize the amazing things that happen after the priest utters those words and makes the Sign of the Cross and through their Holy Orders the greatest miracle of all time takes place at every Mass.

“I live in West Brandywine Township in Pennsylvania and just turned seventy years old this summer and am happily married with four kids and eight grandkids and lead a pretty normal life.

“Thanks for listening and keep up the good work with your website.”
