 ARMY OF PRAYER & ROSARY🌹QUOTES FROM KURT PANGBORN'S BOOK

"Through Blurred Vison"

Holding My Crucifix

 The crosses will probably go away on Sunday; I told my husband!

I'm taking you back in time on Saturday, February 12, 1994. 

I placed my article in the newspaper for three days and Sunday was 

the third day! I knew more people buy the newspaper on the weekends

and I thought my message of "Army of Prayer & Rosary" would be 

viewed. 

Sunday evening the crosses were still appearing around our crucifix

in our bedroom, so Monday, I decided I needed to tell our local priest.

He was the one I told about the "white glow" appearing several times

 on my wreath in my bedroom on January 17, 1994, the day of the

California Earthquake. 

 I would like to mention I had received the large wreath as a Christmas gift in

December of 1993. It was handmade by my husband's co-worker's wife.

It was made out of cut up pieces of green floral cloth and I don't know how she did

the rest. It was large and beautiful! The "white glow" looked as if a flashlight was

going through the wall and through the wreath. The glow was extremely

white and would get larger then smaller and larger and smaller repeating

several times. I woke my husband up to see if he could figure it out but

neither of us could. When he raised his hand up to the glow it disappeared and

we never seen it again! He even said the glow had a warm feeling to it. 

Meanwhile, I'm still sitting up in bed and couldn't believe what had just taken place. 

God gave us a remarkable sign that we witnessed together!

I then told my husband, " I had just asked for a sign from our Lord if

this is what he is wanting me to do!"

My exact words were "Dear God and Blessed Mary, is this what you 

are wanting me to do? "Blessed Mary is not equal to God, but

she was chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus our Lord🕇

{Luke Ch:1 Verse 28 Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed

are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.}

My husband didn't know what I had been writing about and I then explained

about being inspired to write "Army of Prayer & Rosary"🌹

I knew I would need to tell my priest about the "white glow" around my wreath

 and about the "Army of Prayer & Rosary."

I decided to write him a letter about the given sign of the "white glow" 

and the "Army of Prayer & Rosary." I placed it in the collection basket during Mass. 

I quickly began sending out forms to many people; my family and friends and

neighbors. The only way I could spread "Army of Prayer & Rosary"

was with paper and stamps. 

Getting back to the Sunday of the crosses appearing and Monday comes. 

I waited for my husband to come home from work, and I wanted to tell our

priest about what we had been witnessing of the appearing crosses. 

I also wanted to have him bless our crucifix. Our priest wasn't available that evening

but he arranged for me to go speak with a priest from

 another Catholic Church that evening in the same city. 

I take my crucifix about 12 inches tall and my husband and I drive

to a large cathedral structured church. I'm nervous as we pull

up to the church but I knew I had to speak with a priest. 

My husband and I walk into the church office and I see the

receptionist sitting behind her desk. I'm holding my crucifix and 

I tell her I need to speak with a priest and I begin to cry!

A priest comes out of his office and I continue to cry! He directs my

husband and I into his office and I begin to tell him, "My Story." 

He blesses our crucifix and tells me the signs are 

to help with my mission for Our Lord. He also said to keep praying

and be obedient to God. I walked out of his office with more assurance

and more at ease. When my priest mentioned the word mission to me, I felt a 

little scared of the unknown. The next day the same priest 

came to bless our home. It was in the evening and dark outside.

He was able to see the crosses appear and said the crosses are an inspiration from

God. I am so thankful for his quick response and helping me put things

in prospective and to carry forth what God has placed on me. 

The crosses are still appearing daily around my crucifixes and they

are very inspiring and humbling. ➕

Together we will go forward in "The Army of Prayer & Rosary."⛨

from home to home and place to place. 

May Our Lord Wrap All Our Prayers and Concerns in 

His Sacred Heart💞

Quotes by Kurt Pangborn's book "Through Blurred Vision"

 Quotes from Kurt Pangborn's book called "Through Blurred Vision."

claiming Victory in All Aspects of Life. You can order one from amazon.com 

note: It's a true story about the life of Kurt Pangborn🕇


1) Recognize that being knocked down

     is O-Kay, but staying down is unacceptable


2) God counts on us to persevere; when were locked in

     waiting, God's making a new schedule.


3) Dependence on God requires an independent decision.


4) If we could see the future, we would not need faith.


5) FAITH stands for "Full Assurance in the Heart"


6) God orchestrates everything. He knows what we

     need and knows our purpose. God can answer

     prayer in an unusual way.


7) Perseverance becomes much more manageable

     when we visualize our reason for running the

     race. The prize isn't a medal, check, or a 

     trophy; it is to reside with the One who loved

     me first.


8) Like many others, I spent too many years trying

     to carry my own burdens and cares.

     Avoiding the hurt, emotion, and divide

     was my way of showing strength. But

     this is not the Lord's way. He has already

     been there, ready to catch my cares. 

      Complete healing and peace came only

     when I transferred my cares into His hands.


9)  The three P's (Praise, Pray, Persevere)

      Submission to God is irreplaceable in

      your prayer life. 💖

      Just as important as praying in faith

       is praying in submission.

      Without submission discouragement can

       come and quite kickstart a rebellion

       against God

        We say "If I only had enough faith

        the outcome would have been

         different."

         It is not right for us to place ourselves

         on the same level as God. 

          It's impossible for us to see the whole

          picture sometimes.
