Happy 4th of July!
I feel a special need to share another extraordinary photo. After today's First Saturday Rosary for Peace and evening Vigil Mass at my parish, I witnessed a figure in the sky - it looked like our Blessed Mother holding the infant Jesus. I asked her what was going on, then had an interior impression that it was a silent message for our country since it's the 4th of July ... and the 250th Anniversary of the USA. I snapped a few pics.
One of the clearer photos ... the figure enlarged on the right
with the Holy Virgin outlined by this author.
Now looking at the photos, it seems to me that the Baby Jesus is transformed into a cross in Our Lady's hands (some still perceive a baby). A First Saturday ... on a historic and significant date for America ... the Rosary for Peace ... this appearance ... and a cross in her hands. It doesn't seem to be random. Rather, as a whole, it's all a coherent and urgent message - a silent request to pray and sacrifice for our country - and I'm not surprised. Our culture has more and more, with the passing of each decade, sunken into deeper lows. Our beloved country indeed needs prayer - pray, pray, pray for America!

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, King of Heaven and Earth,
I place today my nation, the United States of America,
into Your Heart pierced for love of us. On the 250th
Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,
I acknowledge that true liberty is Your gift, and that
our lasting homeland is the eternal Kingdom of God.
Under the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Patroness of the Americas, and through the
intercession of her Immaculate Heart, bless my
homeland anew, purify her from sin, and guide her
leaders in truth, justice, and peace, so that she may
safeguard all human life, respect the integrity of
marriage and the family, and honor the practice of
religion. Reign in my home and in my nation.
Draw every heart into communion with You, that
Your truth, love, justice, mercy, and peace may
triumph in America and throughout the world.
Amen.
God bless the United States of America!
