Sister Janice (not her real name for privacy) called me up and asked me to accompany her to the home of two visionaries, Brother Carmelo Cortez and Sister Puring Fruto, brother and sister, in San Francisco del Monte in Quezon City, Philippines. I readily agreed and brought along my mother.

The place was crowded with visitors viewing the exhibit of dozens of miraculous rose petals, laminated for protection. Religious images were etched miraculously on the rose petals, such as Our Lady of Fatima and the Holy Trinity.
(Note – It is scientifically impossible to etch such religious images in detail on fresh soft rose petals. It would tear easily and bleed. View the rose petals through a link at the end of this article).
The rose petals were similar to those that appeared in the Carmelite Convent in Lipa City under the auspices of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Grace with visionary Sister Teresing Castillo.
At that time, Carmelo was going viral in the Internet after he posted his collection of rose petals. The news of the rose petals from Bro. Carmelo and Sr. Teresing spread like wildfire worldwide, especially among Filipinos in the U.S.A. This triggered thousands trekking to Manila, and to Lipa City to view the rose petals, especially after news went viral that a woman with cancer of the bladder was healed in Chicago through a borrowed rose petal.
So, at the home of Bro. Carmelo and Sr. Puring, Sr. Janice, my mother, and I were about to leave when I asked them if we could have a last-minute quick prayer in front of the life-size statue of the Virgin.
After praying, suddenly, Sr. Janice had a convulsion. With eyes closed, she spoke in a strange deep silky voice. It was the Virgin speaking through her. The voice said, “Pray, pray, pray. I can no longer hold back the hand of my Son.” Those words hit me like a lightning bolt. Mama Mary was warning us that there was an urgency to pray hard before something terrible might happen because of the Lord’s anger.
Going home, as Sr. Janice drove the car, there was a strange silence. Perhaps, she was not even aware that she spoke in a trance. So, I told her about it, and she thanked me, implying that indeed she did not know about it. She dropped me and my mother off at a certain place, where we took a taxi to our home in Alabang.
Several big disasters occurred after that visit to Bro. Carmelo and Sr. Fruto. For example, Mt. Pinatubo erupted, one of the biggest for the century. When the volcanic ash reached the stratosphere, there was a big storm which spread the ash as far as Antartica. The US research center there reported that the darkening of the skies for several days disrupted their research findings. They had to start all over again. There was also the big tsunami which hit Thailand where thousands of people died.
I never saw Sr. Janice again. She was so busy working in a hospital. She said she did not want to be a saint because saints normally suffered a lot during their lives and she could not stand pain. It was enough that she served Him through her hospital work, in her small humble way.
