The Gift of the Petal



On Saturday July 5, 2014, as Christina Gallaher (ireland) led the Sorrowful Mysteries of The Holy Rosary during the Novena at Our Lady's House of Prayer in Achill, she was drawn into an experience in which she was walking on the road to Calvary behind Our Blessed Lord. There were groups of people dressed in old dark clothes accompanying and Christina could sense their intense hatred for Jesus. She wanted to do something for Jesus but was intimidated by the crowd.

Then on Calvary Christina experienced a moment where she standing by one side of the cross, her face at the level of Jesus' knees. She knew He was breathing His last. Then she could see blood spurt from the side of Jesus unto the earth. When she looked up she witnessed a great shaft of intense light which broke through the overhanging dark clouds and enveloped the Body of Jesus. (She was aware that the great darkness over Calvary was caused by the huge gathering of demons assembled in a final concerted effort to unnerve Our Lord and prevent his accomplishing the great act of Redemption.)

 Then Christina could hear a strong burst of rapturous joy like music carried from a distance on the wind. Although she knew it was singing, the harmony was so perfect it sounded more like music. She understood this singing was the jubilant voices of all in Heaven rejoicing in the victory of Jesus - not that they ever doubted He would triumph but it was their celebration of the accomplishment of salvation.

Then Jesus spoke to Christina and said He desired that on July 16th every conceivable space in the chapel be filled with flowers and that every petal be later preserved and encased and those enabled to obtain one would be greatly blessed. Christina understood the petal was to be carried on one's person or worn. She then saw radiant light emanating from Jesus' Heart and enveloping an abundance of flowers, making them resemble a sea of light. She was aware that there was a much greater depth to the gift which was not yet revealed to her.

On July 11th, when Christina entered the chapel to pray, she went before Our Lady's Image on the altar. The sanctuary area became surrounded with a mist. Christina could even experience the moisture from the mist as she drew her breath. The prayer she found herself offering was not of herself, but inspired, 'Holy Mother, thank you for your "yes" to God, for through your "yes" , salvation has come to the souls of all humanity. You were filled with the Holy Spirit and ever since, God has flowed His Spirit through you, permitting you to intercede and gain many and great gifts for the souls of humanity. Holy Mother, You are searching for God's lost children because you are one with the yearning of God to reunite His life in the souls of His children….'

When Christina thanked Our Lady for the gift of the Petal promised by Jesus, Our Lady who appeared to Christina as coming out of the Picture with the Roses, replied, "Blessed, indeed, are they who will be privileged to receive one of those Petals, for not only the contents of My Son's Heart but that of Mine also will be emptied upon the petals. (Christina understood that the Petal will permit in a powerful way the union in soul of The Two Hearts with the person carrying the petal.) "Is it like a relic, Holy Mother?," Christina then asked. Our Lady responded, "My daughter, this is much greater than any earthly relic. Not only My Son's Heart but My own Heart will have touched it".

On July 13, 2014, Jesus spoke to Christina, saying that those carrying a petal would be protected in body and soul in the dangerous times that are soon to be upon us: that the petals should be touched to the bodies of the sick, that those possessing a petal and who would be living at the time of the great sign that is to be given throughout the world, would be able both to see the sign with their eyes and also to experience it in their hearts: that any person privileged to obtain one of those Petals, will experience many great gifts bestowed by their means.

As Christina led the Rosary on July 25th, 2014 in Our Lady's House, she was suddenly drawn into a direct experience of Jesus who appeared before her in radiant white. Behind and above Jesus appeared the Head and Shoulders of the Heavenly Father, followed by the two Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Only the Heart of Jesus dripped Blood. As this happened, an angel swiftly came holding a golden cup like the upper part of a chalice and saved the dripping Blood. There was an explosion of light and Christina could see white rose petals swirling everywhere. When the petals all settled, she could see countless Holy Communion hosts coming down upon them. Our Lady could then be seen by the side of Jesus in a most loving attitude.

Finally, when this experience had ended, Christina was shown an immense gold crown which she understood to be that of Jesus. The crown, which was bathed in light, was the full width – in a circle – of the entire chapel. Christina was enlightened in knowledge that those in the chapel would be receiving the graces through the Kingship of Jesus.

Then Our Lady came exquisitely dressed in white, radiating – as always – light from Her Person through the beauty of Her garment. She wore her normal crown decorated with many coloured stones, glistening in the light. In the same knowledge Christina was led to understand that those present received many different graces signified by the many differently coloured stones of her crown.
Christina could see many angels swaying in playful movement around the bottom of Our Lady’s dress. She was given to understand that this scene revealed the close union of God and Our Blessed Mother with His people present in prayer.
