Prayer participants in the Gruber Residence, Mililani
The Gruber Family from distant Mililani Town was recently inspired to start a monthly prayer gathering for family and friends in their home to honor Our Lady of Fatima... and tonight was their inaugural meeting. I was invited to participate in the event and to bring with me Holy Relics to be displayed during the prayers.
Since the purpose of the prayer meeting was to respond to the Blessed Virgin’s messages at Fatima (Portugal) in 1917, I brought with me authenticated relics of all three Fatima Seers - Bl. Francisco Marto, Bl. Jacinta Marto, and Sr. Lucia do Santos - plus the Sacred Relic of Our Lady’s veil in my ministry’s custody.

and those of the Fatima Seers, are enclosed and displayed in the large ornate reliquary.

A small, intimate group attended the family’s first prayer meeting and it turned out to be a very wonderful night of devotion, fellowship, and great food that was home-cooked by our hosts! The spiritual presence of the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Mother was quite tangible as we prayed and all were deeply touched by it. If tonight’s experience is any indication of the monthly prayer meetings to follow, I am looking forward to attending the Gruber’s next gathering in June!
