I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE A TESTIMONY TO WHAT OCCURRED IN A CLASS I TOOK WITH NINI GUERARD THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET.
I HAVE A CUSTOM OF LIGHTING CANDLES TO THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE AND WHEN I CAME INTO NINI’S HOME I SAW HER LIGHT A CANDLE TO HER AND I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. NINI TOLD ME SHE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE VIRGIN AND SHE DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE FIGURE ON THE LARGE CANDLE WAS HER. AS SHE BENT OVER TO ANOINT EACH OF OUR FEET WITH FRANKINCENCE SHE LOOKED UP AT ME AND LEANED FORWARD AND WHSIPERED IN MY EAR, YOU LIGHT CANDLES TO SOMEONE IN CHURCH A WOMAN BUT IT IS NOT THE VIRGIN MARY. SHE ALSO WHISPERED THAT MY SON HAD RECENTLY LOST A FRIEND IN A CAR ACCIDENT BUT HE WAS OK NOW. I WAS PRETTY ASTONISHED AND SAID NOTHING. AFTER SHE HAD ANNOINTED EACH OF OUR FEET AND BEGAN TO TELL US ABOUT YOU, SHE ALL OF A SUDDEN PUT A VERY LARGE BOUGHET OF RED ROSES IN FRONT OF ME ON A COFFEE TABLE. I AM A SMALL WOMAN AND THE ROSES OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW, BUT I UNDERSTOOD EVEN THOUGH SHE DID NOT KNOW WHY SHE HAD DONE SO.
THAT EVENING SHE ASKED US EACH TO BRING A CRYSTAL SO THAT WE COULD EXPERIENCE WHAT IF FELT LIKE TO ENTER THAT PLANE OF EXISTENCE. SOMEHOW WE ALL FORGOT EXCEPT FOR ONE STUDENT. THAT ONE STUDENT BROUGHT A PIECE OF FOSSOLIXED WOOD. SHE ALLOWED US TO USE THE CRYSTALS LAUGHING THAT IT WAS ODD THAT WE HAD ALL FORGOTTEN. AT LUNCH TIME AS THE CLASS WAS BEGINNING SHE CAME UP TO ME AND ASKED ME TO WHOM I LET CANDLES AND THEN I EXPLAINED IT WAS THE VIRGIN OF GUADALUPE, AND SHE ASKED ME THE STORY. I RELAYED THE STORY OF HOW A SHE HAD APPEARED TO A PEASANT AND INSTRUCTED HIM TO HAVE A CHURCH BUILT THERE. HOWEVER NO ONE BELIEVED HIM. SHE APPEARED TO HIM AGAIN ANDTHIS TIME FILLED HIS PONCHOS WITH BRIGHT RED ROSES THE SAME COLOR THAT NINI HAD PUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. BY NOW THE WHOLE CLASS WAS LISTENING. SHE ASKED ME WHAT DID THE VIRGIN DO AND DID SHE EVER APPEAR AGAIN. I TOLD HER YES SHE APPEARS IN FORESTS AND IN WOOD. JUST AT THAT MOMENT ONE OF THE STUDENTS GASPED OUT LOUD AND NEARLY FAINTED. WHERE MOMENTS BEFORE THERE WAS SIMPLY PETRIEFIED WOOD, INSTANTLY AND CLEARLY THE IMAGE OF THE VIRGIN APPEARED AND STAYED. WE WERE ALL SPEECHLESS FOR WHAT SEEMED TO BE A ONG TIME. SOMEONE NOTICED THAT THE CLOCK HAD STOPPED. SO WE ALL THANKED HER FOR HER PRESENCE. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY. ALTHOUGH SOMEONE GOT NEW BATTERIES THE CLOCK DID NOT MOVE. I WANTED SO MUCH TO HAVE THE MIRACLE WOOD BUT SAID NOTHING.
THE NEXT DAY WHICH WAS THE LAST DAY OF CLASS, THE STUDENT WHO HAD BROUGHT IT, HAD HAD THE IMAGE SHILACKED AND GAVE HER TO ME.
MORE RECENTLY WHEN NINI WAS OUT OF TOWN I CALLED HER BECAUSE THE DOCTORS HAD FOUND A MASS ON MY KIDNEY THAT THEY WERE SURE WAS CANCEROUS AND HAD TO TAKE IT OUT. NINI REMINDED ME OF VIANNA AND HER TEACHINGS AND HOW THE CREATOR COULD CREATE MIRACLES AND NOT TO WORRY. TO EVERYONES ASTONISHMENT THE MASS SEEMED ALTERED AND WHEN THE PATHOLOGIST CALLED THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF CANCER… WHENEVER THERE IS A PROBLEM I LIGHT A CANDLE TO THE VIRGIN AND CALL NINI AND GIVE THANKS TO NINI AND TO HER TEACHER
VIANNA FOR HER WONDERFUL TEACHINGS.
