My Encounter with the Divine

 by Rev. Shirley Ryan


Lately I have been having reoccurring dreams of visions that I have had, in recent years, of Jeshua. There is one in particular that I kept dreaming about. This vision happened on the feast day of the Sacred Heart in 2018.

It is spring time, in Rhode Island and I just had knee surgery. I slowly walked down the street to the little village church for Sunday service. On this day, the Bishop was there and many of the villagers were in attendance. The energy was high and full of excitement, for it was a special day when the Bishop would attend.

I am sitting in the pew after receiving communion with my eyes closed and my heart full of gratitude while meditating with Jesus. Then I heard “Open Your Eyes”. My world ceased to exist for there, in front of the church, above the choir area was Jeshua! He was shining brightly in the Sacred Heart image, only, he was smiling and full of Joy!!! I was mesmerized by the sight before me, tears running down my face and feeling his intense Joy in my Heart. He was so happy and loving! He blessed all of us in the church, looked at me, smiled and then was gone. A divine encounter that has imprinted my heart and soul forever.

I have wondered why these visions kept resurfacing. The message is that there is no better time than NOW to open and turn our hearts to the Divine.
