Show & Tell

We received a letter this week from a woman who heard about Our Lady of America on the Garry Meier radio program on WCKG in Chicago last week. The topic was spiritual phenomena and a caller had mentioned his experiences at Sylvan Springs and directed listeners to this website for more info.

When this woman heard it, she immediately went to the website and the rest is her story to show & tell:

I heard about Rome City on the Garry Meier show, I only caught the tail end of it, but I heard the caller who spoke about the sun spinning. There was something in his voice that sounded so sincere. I immediately looked it up on the internet and wanted to go there. I did not know why, but the pull was so great. It wasn't in my budget but, I felt I really had to go. I asked my boyfriend, I showed him the web info and off we went on Saturday. We got there about 3 pm and drove onto the grounds not knowing where to go. I was anxious and I could not understand why. By the time we came around to the front, Nick had just driven up with his wife and said he felt like he had to come over to the grounds. He asked if we would like a tour. He was so wonderful and answered all my questions. I felt scared, happy, calm, and free of pain. I have bad knees and walking and stairs sometimes are difficult. All the time I was there, I had no pain and felt like a child, that I could walk for days if I had to. I was expectant, but did not know for what. I was in awe of the church and small chapel. I smelled flowers in one of the rooms. It was not roses, but it was flowers.

The spring water was the most refreshing drink I have ever had. I took some home in a small water bottle. We washed our faces and I washed my knees with the water. I walked over to the hill with the statue of the Holy Family and said a prayer to Our Lady. I have never been more aware of my breathing in my life. I did not see the sun spin, but one of the entries in the blog states "Our Lady will not give you, what you want, but what you need". I believe she will show me what I need to see.

I cannot wait to come back to the spring. I cannot stop thinking about the place. There is a reason I went there, but I still don't know why. I am very happy I did.

She even sent photos for everyone to enjoy...we are only going to show you two of them right now.





Notice the placement of the orb on the wall just above the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes in both photos. It is in exactly the same place in both photos. Is this the location where the Virgin Mary first appeared as Our Lady of Lourdes to Sr. Neuzil on Sept. 25, 1956? When studied with other photos previously posted (now available in a downloadable gallery on this website) one can conclude that the location of these orbs is related to other phenomena that have been photographed in the exact same location. It also happens to be the same location that Our Lady was seen in an apparition experienced during the first official Our Lady of America pilgrimage on July 14, 2006.

No flash was used in either photo. Pay particular attention to the tremendous number of orbs in the second photo...especially the remarkably blue one in the upper right side.
