Sharing My Vision With The World

In February 1974 I stopped working at an office in Stamford, Connecticut, USA. It was a very difficult time for me for many different reasons, so I started to read a small New Testament that I brought from Italy and belonged to my Father when he was a child. I started to read it constantly especially after supper in order that I had nothing else to think about.

Reading about those miracles that Jesus did, about His life and His death my heart was comforted and I thought that if everything was really true it would have been easier to continue to have a life and overcome my state of distress. Curiously I never doubt the existence of my God even since childhood, I knew He existed and He loved me, but that is what I thought in those moments.

I Was Prompted By A Revelation

On the 10th of May 1974, I saw the Vision of The Sacred Heart of Jesus and in Him the Holy Trinity. I am an artist, a painter and I tried to represent what I saw by painting first an Icon, then a watercolor but everything was very unsatisfactory. I wrote the story of my Vision in a personal spiritual book with other spiritual events in order to leave everything as a testimony for my Family to read after my death. I thought that was what I was supposed to do having been an eye witness.

One day I really wanted to paint my best painting of my Vision, and before starting I looked at my oil colors on my paper palette and I was terribly discouraged because the lightest color, the white or the lemon yellow, were dirty and dark in comparison to the color I saw in my Vision, and a bit upset,I said:

“Lord, not even Michelangelo could do it”. So sadly I never tried to paint it again. But in the back of my mind I always felt there must be a way , I just did not know how or what to do.

So 40 Years passed.
