Marian Devotion | Explorer


for some visions of Mary can become
all-encompassing Terry Cola Francisco
was working as a landscaper in
Birmingham Alabama but he wanted
something more in life in 1986 on a trip
to magic Oriya he founded the
visionaries messages struck him as the
truth and he needed to let the world
know then just two years later one of
the visionaries Maria Lou Nettie came to
his hometown
Terry invited her to visit his farm and
there in an event that would change his
life she had a vision of Mary well I
leaned into the apparition where a lady
was got right in his face like eight
inches away from my eyes something came
over me as the truth came at me and I
said I’ll die before I ever denied these
apparitions pilgrims flocked to the farm
the metro-area movement is extremely
strong especially in the United States
and this provided a unique opportunity
for people to witness and a true
apparition of the Virgin Mary in the
United States itself people want to be a
part of this great metro area phenomenon
and here it is on their home turf
Terry built Caritas of Birmingham an
isolated community dedicated to
spreading the word at the magic Oriya
visionaries and to a life of full-time
veneration of Mary regards Charlie
choosing me to do this work I had no
doubts I had no lack of confidence the
success that we see has to be vast some
divine graces Caritas is now a community
of some 50 people who have left their
homes their jobs and in some cases their
families once they convert they say this
is home
they say they were born here people
people say when they turn 4 highway 6
miles down the road they says I feel
like I’m coming home I need to move to
Caritas I would give up my scholarship
for college I would give up my apartment
my friends my family etc but if you can
imagine how much your worldly mother
means to you and how much you love her
and multiply that infinitely is what the
Virgin Mary means to me
I would lose my life for her I would do
anything for her
when you come to Caritas there is a lot
of letting go but in letting go you open
yourself to what God wants from you and
then there are no regrets I’ve never
I’ve been here for 25 years and I have
had no regrets I move there and just
found it was it was peaceful very
peaceful at first you start to believe
that this is the most important thing
that you could be doing with your life
like why would you want to do anything
else
God’s plan for the world today is
through the Virgin Mary she founded this
place and so Caritas and the Virgin Mary
are inseparable the direction of all is
about to change and it’s gonna change
radically Mizzou is always bigger than
you think and everyone the world’s gonna
know about it
human souls are at stake
