  1. I pray that this storm will wake up AMERICA to the grave sin it is living in. Gay Marriage, Abortion, Cohabition, Pervison all of all types, killing of our children, pedophilia, Liberlism, Athiest, not living the 10 Commandments Our Lord gave us. JUSTICE WILL COME AND OUR LORD WILL PURIFY THIS EARTH, GOD CREATED THE EARTH PERFECT AND MAN HAS DESTROYED GODS EARTH. People of this world better wake up and start living a good clean moral life, because this is just the beginning and isnt anything that GOD will do to wake up HIS world. He gave us the Earth to live in under HIS commandents and not of our own desires. Wait till entire states disappear off the face of the earth, and entire cities are swollowed up and will be gone forever. I suggest you get on your knees tonight and ask for GOD to forgive you for all your sins, and to evangelize to save all souls.

  2. Our Blessed Mother statue was not blown away by winds, or swept away by water because Our Lord left HIS MOTHER there as a sign for us to get it right.

  3. May Almighty God have Mercy on all those who have suffered through this storm and help us to come together to assist one another in what ever way we can.

  6. Our Lady of Grace stands among all the devastation. God is with us always and this statue is mute testimony of His presence among us. Now it is we who must follow His Commandments and exercise love and charity to neighbors.

  8. With all the devastating photos there is the one of the Blessed Mother. She is all in tact and not even dirty and yet there is no mention of this miracle in the caption below the photo . This photo is truly a miracle. Thank you LORD

  10. similar upheavals occur in mothers' wombs, legally everyday in this country.

  11. That's what is saddest of all. Most people won't make the connection that this is a sign from God to repent. The sin of Pride must be the most serious because it is saying "No, I will not bow down before You." Thus, every other sin will follow.

  12. This is the pebble before the brick.

    If we do not get on our knees and pray-we will be driven to them.

    Pray!

  15. The untouched statue of Our Blessed Mother in amidst all that devastation is Gods'way of showing us He is in command.
    Our Lady of Garabandal, on October 18, 1961, and June 18,, 1965, told the children, "We must lead good lives. If we do not, a chastisement will befall us. Gods' cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us.
    Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over".

    Are we listening?? What will it take for us to wake up and
    do Gods' will?

    1. Already in Fatima in 1917 the Blessed Mother asked us to amend our lives, make reparation and sin no more, esp. through the sin of impurity. She also said that if we do not amend our lives a 2nd much worse war will follow. It did! And still evil is spreading like wild fire. Of all the Blessed Mother's messages in Fatima, only one has not yet been fulfilled, which is "the annihilation of nations." Is America, the Christian country, getting it finally? Abortion, the Obamanation is worse than ever under our current government. How many Catholics will vcte for our immoral president. Intrinsic evil is reigning in our WH. Will the Blessed Mother's final message of annihilation of whole nations come true? Let's get on our knees and pray, repent, sacrifice and fast for God's Mercy, although we deserve His wrath.

    2. What else that God has to prove that he exists? His message is spread throughout the world, let's all pray for mercy.

  16. Surely His first concern was saving the ceramic statue of Mary.

    1. You must be the idiot of all idiots, mocking the mother of your saviour. You must be an atheist or a Muslim? When the earth under your feet shakes,I hope you are still laughing until it swalows you in.

  17. This is what happens when people challenge God. This is just a prelude to what is coming to all sinners. Keep straying from God America and see what kind of idiots we all are. All He will do is change the weather and we are all gone. Maybe He will just open up the Ozone layer or let the EMP hit earth to cleanse it once more of all sinners. Did you notice the areas badly hit are the areas with laws contrary to God's commandments? Watch out California the big EQ is coming....

  18. The punishment of God is without a sound or a pole you can hang on to. Like they say. There is no Atheist in the foxhole, and this time I hope unbelievers will wake up. America was founded by Christian believers, that is why it was blessed. But now, people are straying away from God. Read the Bible and see what happens to people and nations that offended God. Who are we to question HIM? We are nothing but a pile of bones and dirt in the cemetery. No one even know when HE calls us for our last judgement.Repent people and seek God again before it is too late.

  19. North America has had Hurricanes long before the Indians migrated here from Asia-Who was god punishing then-the gators in the everglades? You should be more worried about the Muslim takeover of your country from within than the effects of a few large hurricanes. Wake up America before Sharia tales over!

  20. God had nothing to do with it. Hurricanes are caused by the rotation of the earth. What you should be afraid of is the way that Muslims are trying to take over your country. Read After America by Mark Steyn.
