Uncovering the walls, helpers were astonished that Christina had predicted where they would find dry rot, fungus and dampness.

Back in 1992 when Christina asked Our Lady why so many troubles came to her with the House of Prayer, Our Lady gave her a very direct answer. “Dear child, you know the House of Prayer is like a war being prepared against the Evil One and he wants to destroy it and you, and all my little ones, but you remain steadfast in prayer and love. You have the weapons, use them.” During the renovation Christina was mysteriously given knowledge of which parts of the building needed to be replaced . Helpers were then amazed to find upon uncovering walls, floors etc that she had precisely located areas of widespread dry rot, fungus and dampness. The obstacles to the work of renovation seemed endless and insurmountable. So much had to be stripped away and renewed yet this was all explained to Christina.

On December 21st 1992, Our Lady, in a very tender way showed her how God would use the House as a means of protection. She just appeared, opened her hands and there flew out so many little chicks and Our Lady looked joyously at them. This scene evokes the words of Christ when He wept for the suffering coming to Jerusalem for its rejection of the Saviour and its blindness in not recognising the time of its visitation. Jesus lamented the reistance of its people for He would have gathered them together “as a hen gathers her chicks” but the people refused. The scene stresses, it would seem, God’s protection in the coming purification for those who, in responding to ‘His Call through His Mother’ agree to come under ’His Wing’.




A House of Prayer for all Her children

In separate messages to Christina, Our Lady made clear the purpose of the House of Prayer.

FIRSTLY, She said that She will be present with Her angels and that the House was to be a place of prayer for all Her children with particular importance for priests. Our Lady p terceding for the intentions of the people. “If only My children could realise the graces I desire to give for even a single visit to My House of Prayer.”

Our Lady said, “I desire to gather My children together. You, My child, pray the Rosary with My children, as I have taught you. I entrust you with this. Do not be afraid. There is no place for fear. I will be present in the House with many angels, praying with all My children. There is to be love, no disunity. I will disperse darkness and surround you with light. Yet, My children must be alert. Be pure in heart, and love one another and pray my beautiful Rosary with love from your Heart...” “My child, look at My many priest sons . Will you help Me? I desire to bring them into the light of salvation. My child, you must pray, pray, pray. That way, I can draw you into the grace of My Immaculate Heart.” Not sure about Our Lady’s exact wishes, Christina asked, for her own information , “Holy Mother, are you saying you want this House of Prayer for priests?” and Our Lady replied “Yes! I desire many works and much prayer. My child, pray, pray, pray! The devil wants to destroy My plan for Ireland and the world. But your prayer, sacrifice and suffering offered to Jesus, My Son, will disarm all his snares. Be patient. Be vigilant in prayer and good works. Love all those you meet. My child, My Heart is your heart. I will give you many graces that you are in need of, through prayer. Pray My beautiful Rosary often. My Son Jesus desires great work from you. Respond to His Love.”

As a Relief for the Souls in Purgatory

SECONDLY, the House of Prayer will be a means of relief for the Souls in Purgatory. Christina was told that because God Himself desired the House in union with His Church, it would be a channel for the Souls in Purgatory whereby they could seek relief . On the opening of the House she was told, many souls would be released. Christina could see Our Lady at a distance wearing a white gown and loose blue shawl. Our Lady’s Hair was blowing in the breeze. Our Holy Mother was weeping but explained to Christina “these were tears of joy”. Our Lady told her “Many souls will be released from Purgatory on this day of the opening of the House of Prayer. If only you could comprehend the enormous victory of this day” “Our Holy Mother’s Heartbeat within Her Body could be seen and it exploded from Her Chest in white light flowing to Her hands and from Her Hands downwards” (to the House of Prayer). Since the opening of the House the Holy Souls have made their presence known not only to Christina but to members of the community while at prayer in the chapel.

God's Plan for The House of Prayer

THIRDLY, the House was intricately linked with Her plan for Ireland. She disclosed that Her Plan and Her House of Prayer were inseparable. “I am your Maternal Mother and I desire My chosen children of Light to be united with Me, in prayer from your hearts. You are My dear children of peace and love. Through you, My little ones, I desire great work for the salvation of the world. You little ones of the Lamb will be triumphant in My Immaculate Heart.”

Jesus and the Heavenly Father have both claimed responsiblity for the House of Prayer. In October 1992, Jesus confirmed to Christina that it was He who desired the House of Prayer for the coming battle. The Lord said, “The godless men multiply in number. They fight against My Might. Thou hast seen the might of My Hand to put to flight the godless man. Thou art My little one, safely guarded in My Hand. The godless who try to strike you down, I will strike down beneath My Foot, for it is I, your Lord, who had deigned you to act for Me in the manner you effect. Thou art My little one of My Heart. Do not fear and do not cry. Proclaim My words to all people, to the godless as to the godly. Those who hear your call will hear My words. Man will try to find fault with you. Have no fear for I am with you”.

“It was I who desired a House of Prayer. My words have been spoken through the Heart of My Mother, for She calls Her children, but they do not hear. Thou, My little one, take heed, This House will be a refuge for the remnant who hear and follow the cries of My Mother’s Heart. You be steadfast in My call, for those who hear the cries of My Mother’s Heart will come to you. Make available your time in life and pray with them,” Jesus then also gave Christina a wonderful experience which revealed that, indeed His coming victory would be furthered by the House of Prayer.

Our Blessed Lady said to Christina, “If my children could only recognise the gift of My House of Prayer, they would be helping you, as the people helped Noah to build the Ark and they would be queuing up to enter it, as the people entered the Ark of Noah.” This reference by Our Lady to the Ark of Noah also clearly attributes to the House of Prayer a “refuge in the time of purification” which She stated in a separate message to Christina.
