History

The Mother of God has appeared on earth many times and at many locations all over the earth. In studying this history you will find that these unusual experiences happened when mankind was in most need of heaven’s help and guidance. So, is it any wonder that in the present time, we hear of so many spots on earth that the queen of heaven is appearing and sending all of her children every where messages of hope?

Keep in mind that no one can give you the faith that you will need in the understanding of these experiences and messages, but we pray that God will grant you this gift when you go to Him and ask for it. The visionaries, or “messengers” are not important here, but the messages themselves because they are meant for each of you. It is also noteworthy here to explain that all of messages received from Our Lady of Light were discerned and approved by five priests before they were released. (See “Priests of Note” in this section.)

The reason that Our Lady of Light came here to the Cincinnati, Ohio area was to remove our darkness in America and to lead us to the “Light” of Jesus.

So, the best advice we give to anyone finding and hopefully reading this web page is to open your heart to this possibility and let your own “faith” be the expert in determining its authenticity. We hope you will become a regular visitor to this site and we welcome you in the name of Our Lady of Light.
