Blessed Mother is here as Refuge of Holy Love. She says: “Praise be Jesus. Dear children, do not be alarmed when you hear of weather tribulations. This is a time for pruning and for gathering in. It is a time of great tribulation of grave consequences for man's errors, and it is a time of great graces. But you can trust in this Image [Mary, Refuge of Holy Love] which I have given you through God's own Divine Will. Make it your avocation that each home accept this Image as protection and shelter. Those that do so shall not have anything to fear in these tribulations which are at hand. These serious weather problems will continue, increase, and multiply but so, too, My dearest children, will My grace.”

[Many tornadoes were seen in the northeastern Ohio area. The tornadoes which struck Alabama killed two neighbors of Maureen's daughter just down the street. Thirty-eight were reported dead.]
