The Joy of Heaven

Inspiring a Consciousness of Heaven in the Church and in the World

Loading Pictures: EARLY STAGE 1 EDITING:

It was May 18th, 2015. The Barrington Hills Zoning Board was meeting tonight.  It was going to be quite the day!

The day started early at St. Annes Church in Barrington for an inspiring Mass.  My life stressed, I prayerfully and tearfully implored Our Lord and His mother for a miracle.  

Home again, I immediately set to work.  It was going to be a very long day! 

I was tasked to do legal research for a loosely formed group of neighbors opposing an intrusive zoning change initiated by a different neighbor. To gather support, this group had sent out petitions throughout Barrington Hills.  My job was to stop the scheduled hearing at the zoning board meeting to buy time for this group to organize their coalition. 

Consequently, my head was deep in local ordinances; I was consumed with searching for a loophole while concerned neighbors were knocking at my door seeking updates on my progress.  

Striding to answer the door at 3:00 pm, I walked past the mirror in the front hall and saw a weird figure on the surface. Glancing at it, and pondering what it was as I turned and opened the door to greet our neighbors.

After explaining my progress and strategies, and addressing their questions, I closed the door and turned back to look at the mirror.  Suddenly infused with a feeling of the miraculous and awe, I studied the figure,  My voice reflected the awe in my heart as I called to my daughter and son to come see. 

Etheric like, I wondered what substance created the  image.  It wasn’t fog, yet it was fog like. It was fairly thick, much thicker than fog from a shower. I later deduced that the force creating the image had intelligence as it took a distinctive route in it’s evolutionary development. A path that tells a story about Our Lord and Our Lady, Mary. 

The emerging image had multiple colors and shadings…It was encased in an aura both with the first image and the second image that eventually formed over the first image. I felt a distinct feeling of awe and made a quick cross on the image as I investigated further.  This cross is the only alteration made.  

I then ran to get my phone to take a few pictures, but I had to return to the research.  The ladies were coming back in an hour, the meeting now about  3 hours away, and I committed I would have something…

Pictures: 0540 –  3:05:38 0541 – ‎‏‎3:05:40 – 0542 – ‏‎3:04:42 pm

My initial impression was this was an unformed figure, almost like it was a fetus in it’s first weeks of formation. Male or female wasn’t clear. 

Besides the main picture there is a translucent glow around it and then a second darker shadowing within a secondary glow lightly outlining it. The darkened section, as if to hint of things to come,  partially cusping the illuminated figure. At the time I did not conceive this was an evolving shape. Nothing like this had ever graced the front hall mirror.  I later discovered at least some of this growth was from bubbles that appeared, grew and seemingly merged or became a shape helping to define the evolving figure.  Here are two above the figure’s head.

I took a few pictures from different angles.  To understand what you are looking at, the image is on the mirror of  the entryway valet that has a mirror in-between the coat hooks. The mirrored coat stand is across from the front door. I am standing a bit to the side so as not to be in the picture and taking photos of  reflections in the mirror.  In the picture, you also see our 18 year old dog, Angel reflected in the mirror as she sleeps besides the doorway. It is a small odd shaped entryway. (describe)

20 minutes later, I am awed and my heart has the feeling of being totally infused.  

(Notes: the original figure is intact within a covering which the crown is within and on top of it 

Fascinating to me that the figure’s base (not really feet) actually touch the top of what will become Satan’s head before the mother forms over the figure.)

Bubbles on top – *Note bubbles on 0553 (move to next group …?)

0560 – 3: PM      0561 – 3:41:30 PM      0562 – ‏‎3:41:26 pm      

When we came back into the front hall,  0563 4:23 PM, 0564 4:23, and 0565 4:23

The research has progressed and I stumbled upon the loophole needed.  The wrong person applied for the zoning variance; the son, not the owner!  Joy, Joy… Joy! The next step was to alert everyone including the village clerk.  I had some writing to complete. 

Again heading out to answer the doorbell I am awestruck by what I see.  Somehow there is an image over the original figure, which is now inside the figure of a lady who is very pregnant and facing the opposite direction.

0566 4:23     0567 4:23     0568 4:23

The blinding light in the room stopped me.  Her feet… In figure 0567 you can see her feet peeking out from her full length dress to stand on top of Satan, crushing the serpent’s head… 

Examine 0567 closely and you will see the baby inside of her.  The same baby crowned in 0555 and 0557.  

I was baffled… Did the baby form before the mother?  Then the light of the Holy Spirit infused me with the understanding that Jesus is eternity and in the spiritual world he was long before he was conceived as a man. 

Her feet are consistent with most accepted Marian apparitions that insist Mary’s feet peek out from under her garment as a symbol of her authority and power over Satan and crushing his head under her feet.

    0569 4:26 PM     0570   time?   0571 4:29 PM

Still evolving, I have now figured out that Our Lady is growing by tiny bubbles forming about her.  I am thinking the bubble near where her belly button might be looks like it is connecting the baby to His mom.

0572 – ‏‎     0573 – ‏‎ pm      0574–  pm      

Tell Story Part 1 0575, 0576, 0577

What strikes me is the beauty in her face.

Tell Story Part 1

The light is magnificent and unusual as this is a northeaster facing entrance and we  do not have sunlight streaming in the windows this late in the day. (use compass to analyze) Look at the sun rays.

0580, 0581, 0582

Our Lady is still forming.  The growth and changes are occurring at the crown of her head

0584, 0585

I am trying to get a clear picture for not only has Our Lady been crowned but atop of the crown is a small figure I recognized instantly as  the Holy Spirit.

These pictures take some discrimination to view because I had to get so close to show what I could see with my eyes

0586, 0587
Our Lady is getting a crown shape – formed by the circles.  These are the final changes to the apparition.

(Include the pilgrimage you were on for the Holy Doors. Like the 2025 pilgrimage to the holy doors of hope)

0591, 0592, 0593

Final images and the hearing is cancelled. They will have to re-apply.

I notice that there are no more bubbles after the Holy Spirit completes the formation.

I love Our Lady’s crown – Holy Spirit is faint in the images and best seen in the 0592 image – right on top of the crown appearing as a figure I frequently encounter during prayers.

Follow-up: Contrast that this miraculous image stopped forming at the 6pm (ish – confirm exact time) Oddly, after a issue between neighbors was successfully resolved (only for the time being) in our favor.

By no action of mine, Dad’s Memorial is the exact same time and date of the 10 year anniversary of Our Lady of Reflection – Explore the meanings of this.  (It also involves concepts of charity and neighborhoods.)
