Three Large Crosses Given / My Painting /Praying for Maui Hawaii+



On July 27, 2023, three large crosses
were given to me by the grace of God.
I wrote in my journal: 
This morning I took my painting off
my wall of "Blessed Mary
and the Twin Towers" and placed it
gently on my dining room table.
I carefully placed it in the back of
my jeep and my son Isaac and I
 took it to a special 
place I wanted to share it with.
Paintings are so much more
vibrant when you can see it in person!
You can see all the detail the 
artist wanted its audience to see.
When I got home, I looked at
the empty nail where it was
taken down from and I felt sad.
I knew it would be safe in the
hands I temporarily placed it
in.   
As the evening came upon me
I began to feel beside myself
and uncertain
about the action of sharing 
the painting. 
It was a nice evening outside
and I was sitting 
 alone on my back porch
reflecting on my 
decision about sharing the painting.
It was getting late and about 
11:00p.m. I began to do 
"The Embrace the Cross prayer
method."
I was in my dining room facing
my 14-inch crucifix hanging
on the wall. 
 I began to make my 5 crosses
reflecting on the 5 wounds of
Jesus.
{And I also said out loud to
God if this was what he
was wanting me to do?}
To my surprise God gave me
3 large crosses about 3 feet tall.
They appeared separately but
one after another. They were
very bright and each cross
appeared very quickly!
The large crosses appeared on
 my living room wall
 between my large picture
 of "Our Lady of Guadelupe"
 and my television set.
I was blessed to be able to see
them again!
The three crosses reminded me
of the three crosses on Calvary,
and the Holy Trinity.
The large Crosses have appeared
there before on several occasions. 
You can find the stories
about them on


The last time I had seen the large crosses
appear was on February 4, 2019.
It was the night before my mom's
operation. You can find the story on

I hope the painting of 

May God Bless you and yours always,
Lori foster

Note: I received my painting back on
Aug. 28, 2023
The painting was appreciated and respectfully
cared for.
God Bless them always,
Lori

Praying for Maui Hawaii+

During the first week in August of 2023,
a horrific wildfire ripped through
Maui Hawaii taking many lives.

O' Lord place your Divinity upon
those in great sorrow. 
Show them your love and kindness
will always remain.
Lift them up unto yourself O' Lord.
Heal them with your Holiness+
May they find rest in your Sacred Heart+

Christ Cross

 The World sometimes 

feels dim and gloomy.

I feel a bit low and

even sad oh' Lord!

The sun comes out and

warmth is inviting me

to have joy!

But my loneliness is

wearing me down

and my head remains

low.

I ask my Lord

"Why dear God are

my emotions feeling

distant from you?"

"My Heart seems

broken and I can't seem

to find healing?"


"Arise! Look up!

Meet me on my 

Holy Cross!

"Christ Cross."

Hold on to the

given joy I want

you to receive!

Hold on to my

pure surrounding

of your soul!

Hold steadfast to

all the greatness I

have instore for

you!

Your fulfillment

will be my love

on my holy cross.

Your strength will be

given by my holy kiss.

 May you go forward

carrying the goodness

of me in your 

heart and soul!

Remember all good

things of my own 

will sustain you!

Remember those who you

care about and what they

mean to you!

Remember not to allow the 

things of importance to

be covered up

by darkness.

Arise! Stand firm

in your setting!

My eyes are forever

on fire with yours!

All the joy

and beauty are from 

me! 

They are great gifts

for you to treasure and

keep!

Always be attentive

with the people

in your life.

Arise! Spring forward!

I will always be there

in all your struggles.

May you capture

great meaning of

your life and

place it in

your heart and

keep it there!

No swaying from

side to side or

backing away

from me!

Place your focus

on doing service for

your loved ones

and those you care about!

It's where you will

find "My Holy Cross!"

"Christ Cross."

My tear drops will meet

yours with my 

Holy Kiss+
