Mary Sheila Reilly is a wife and mother. She is an ordinary person and an accomplished artist. In July of 2001, Mary found that she was inexplicably drawn to the grotto behind Saint Mary's of the Lake Church in Skaneateles, New York. As Mary began praying the rosary, she was graced with an apparition of Our Lady and Our Lord Jesus. That same evening, at home, Our Blessed Mother spoke to Mary interiorly and asked that she come back to the grotto the following day. This was the first of what would be many, many, messages to Mary from Our Blessed Mother. These messages are filled with a Mother's love for all of Her children. At the same time, Mary was also receiving messages at her home from Our Lord, messages of love and mercy. Our Lord Jesus and His Blessed Mother continue to appear to Mary (apparitions) with an incomparable beauty and peace, Mary finds hard to describe.
Among the apparitions that Mary has been privileged to receive are...Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, Saint Padre Pio, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, and Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha.
Our Blessed Mother began giving public messages to Mary for all of Her children who gathered at the shrine at Saint Mary's of the Lake Church. In addition, during all of this time, Our Lord was dictating messages to Mary at her home, usually late in the evening. It is at Our Lord's request that these messages of love and mercy be shared with all of mankind. Our Lord has promised special graces to all those who read His words of love and mercy.
