An Explanation of the image of the SEAL OF UNITY AND HOPE

It is very difficult to know where to begin because this work started in 1994. I pray
the Holy Spirit will guide this endeavor. I thought it best to give the reader a little
back ground about my life in order that you may understand how these events came
about and how this image has changed my life for the better.

My name is Monica. I was born in 1960 to a very devout catholic mother and a
wonderful father. I am number five of six children. My father and sister Michelle have
since passed and there remains my mom, my three brothers and my sister. My family is
very close and they are all a blessing in every way. I was married in the Catholic Church
in 1988 to a wonderful man. We were blessed with three children along with a
granddaughter and triplets on the way. I have worked as a nurse at a local hospital for
30 years. I have also been blessed with many good and holy friends.

My story begins sadly because I had been a fallen away catholic for nearly 18 years.
Though I was married in the church and had all my children baptized and confirmed,
I, at the time, was lost in sin.

As mentioned before, I am blessed with wonderful friends and one friend in particular,
knew I was struggling with going back to church. I knew I wanted my children to benefit
from the morals the church teaches and holds but, quite frankly, I was being lazy. Late
one night at work I was discussing this with my friend when I received a scolding from
her. She told me that it was my responsibility to pass our faith down and stop being so
lazy. The guilt set in and I was trying to figure out my reluctance to go back. Once again
late at night a friend and I were talking when I confessed to her that I felt too ashamed
to go back to God and church because I was such a sinner. My friend grabbed my hand,
looked me in the eye and said, “Don’t you know that God will forgive everything. He
loves you.”

The First Time I heard God Speak

As I was driving home the next morning I heard a voice. It wasn’t a voice like we hear
with each other but a voice deep within the soul. The voice wasn’t my own because it
sounded different than when you talk to yourself. I heard God say, “I did not give you
children so that you would bring them to me, I gave you children so YOU would come
back to me.” At that very moment something profound and loving went through my
whole body. My hair, which is long, started to rise and the hair on my arms stood
straight up.

Within an instant my eyes were opened to my soul. God knew I had a big void in my life
that nothing could fill. It was Christ himself, explaining my own desolation and
disillusionment from his deity. I felt like I just awoke from general anesthesia, not
knowing where I had been. I didn’t even know that I was lost. I was ashamed. Every
void was filled with God’s presence. The joy and love that filled me was overwhelming
and it spilled out of me for three weeks. I couldn’t stop praising God. Even when I was
doing yard work, I would blast the radio and sing to God with the songs from the local
Christian radio station. I often refer to this as God hitting me on the head with a sledge
hammer because what came next was almost unbearable.

After these three weeks of joy, God decided to show me all my sins and how much I hurt
Him. I fell to my knees on the bedroom floor and cried and cried. In the middle of all the
tears, I told Him how sorry I was and that if I had known Him I wouldn’t have
committed these sins. Knowing that I hurt Jesus, I just wanted to die. With God’s grace,
I pulled myself together and ran to confession. The priest hardly knew what I was saying
because I was crying so hard. He was a good man, God rest his soul because he had so
much patience with me. I left the church with a feeling that a heavy burden was lifted off
my shoulders. Thank God for the sacrament of reconciliation.

3
Even though I had gone to confession you would think that I would go back to church. I
wasn’t sure the Catholic Church was for me. I complained about all sorts of things
wrong with the Catholic Church. I was still fitting in with others who had the same
complaints. Oddly, at that time many people were asking me to join their church.
Needless to say, I was very confused. I prayed to Jesus that from now on, please let it
be real between us because I’m not a good faker. I said to Him, “please, Jesus, I have
wasted so much time. Show me where the real truth lies. I know you’ll let me know”

Shortly thereafter I was sitting on the porch with my mother. I was foolishly carrying on
about the Catholic Church and telling her that I wasn’t sure where to go. My mother
listened calmly and quietly with her head bent down. When I was finished she raised her
head and looked at me. This is what she said. “Monica, it doesn’t matter who you sit next
to in church or if the priest gives a good homily or not. It’s about you and Him in the
Eucharist.” When she said that I felt stunned. My whole soul knew that it was Jesus
telling me where the real truth lies. Such a strong sense of conviction came over me.
Words can’t describe that moment. From that point on, I started going to church
bringing my children with me. I devoured every book I could find about our catholic
faith. I was literally starting from the beginning. Even though I had attended four years
of Catholic high schooling, this was the first time I realized that a real and personal
relationship existed between Jesus and me.

A friend of my husband gave me a book. It talked about the shocking end times to come.
It scared me so much that I put it in the fire. I started on a course of intense prayer
begging the Father not to destroy us. I would get up at 5am while everyone was asleep
and literally cry to God to have mercy. As all this was happening I started to hear more
about the Blessed Mother. In all honesty, I didn’t know Mary at all even though I had
studied the Catechism of the Catholic in high school. It was at this time that I felt a
tremendous pulling or calling from Our Blessed Mother. I could feel it in my whole
body, a tugging sensation but I couldn’t understand it. It was as if I had to find out what
it was or I was going to burst into pieces. I also thought I was going a little crazy.

4
It wasn’t until I heard our deacon give a beautiful homily that I felt I should go talk with
him. The only thing I could think of is that he would think I was nuts but I did ask to
speak with him anyway. He was so kind and listened intently. I told him everything. He
told me not to worry, the Blessed Mother will let you know everything in due time. I
wish everyone could know Deacon Lou. He loves Jesus and Mary so much and has such
a beautiful gentleness to himself.

Not long after I met with Louie, I was rocking my youngest to sleep and was in deep
thought. I asked Jesus if He was returning within my lifetime. Immediately I turned my
head and saw a bible on the table. In this particular bible, whenever Jesus speaks, it is
written in red. I opened it randomly and saw these words “Yes I am coming soon.” My
heart leapt and felt like I was thrown for a loop. I couldn’t believe all this was happening
to me. One night at work I timidly told a friend about all that was going on and how
confused I was feeling. She suggested that I talk with Father Bill McCarthy, a priest she
heard about with great gifts, who runs My Father’s House in Moodus, Connecticut. The
next day I called to ask for an appointment with him. The secretary asked me why I
wanted to see him. She explained that he is a very, very busy man. I told her I didn’t
know why but I just had to see him. She finally gave me an appointment. I felt so stupid
when I hung up the phone. I said, “Oh Lord, did I do the right thing?” My bible was on
the desk and I picked it up again and these were the first words I saw “Did you not know
that you would find me at My Father’s house?” I just started crying. I knew something
was happening but still I had no idea and was scared and excited all at the same time.

When it came time to travel to My Father’s house, I spent most of the ride trying to
think of what I was going to say to Father Bill and not have him think I was crazy. I
finally gave up and told Jesus that I would do whatever He wanted. Thankfully, Father
Bill met me with a big smile. I felt a little more at ease. We went into his office and sat
down and Father asked why I had come to see him. I told him that I really didn’t know
and I explained about this pulling toward Blessed Mother. I told him how I asked Jesus
if he was coming in my lifetime and that His answer was, “yes I am coming soon.”

5
Father then asked what I thought we should do. When I am very nervous I tend to joke
around so with a stupid response I said I didn’t know but “maybe we should go on the
Phil Donohue show and tell everyone.”

Truly, I was lost. Father knew it and then asked if I had ever done spiritual journaling. I
had no idea what it was so he explained it to me and told me to start. Then Father placed
his hand on my head and started praying. I have never experienced this before and felt
very awkward. Within a moment he started to speak. I quickly realized that it was Jesus
who was speaking through him because He mentioned three very painful and difficult
things that no one knew but myself. Tears flowed again. Jesus told me to be at peace and
that all was well. There was more but I can’t remember all of it.

When father was finished he asked me if I had a spiritual director. Again, I didn’t know
about these things. He then offered to be my spiritual director. I found out later from
others that God will give a spiritual director when He asks for us to do something. I
look back now and see how Our Lord sows everything together. I am still astounded by
this revelation.

Father told me that when in prayer after giving God praise and glory to just listen, “A
word or a thought may come to you”, he said. He told me to write these things down. I
did what Father told me to do and that’s when my life was turned upside down. From
the very beginning of journaling, I heard a new voice inside. It was very different than
what I had heard before. It was a sweet and loving voice and I knew who it was, our
Blessed Mother. I started receiving long messages right from the start. She told me that
she has come long ahead of time to announce her last title, Mother of Unity and Hope.
She said she was preparing for the triumph of her Immaculate Heart and that her
messages must be sent out. I now started to panic at this point. I said to myself over
and over that I have lost it. I said, “Here you are a critical care nurse and you think
you’re receiving messages from the Mother of God.”

6
Next I went into a prolonged self-analysis asking myself if I was looking for some kind
of recognition or glory. I drove myself to such a degree of distress that I fell on my bed
and just cried. I wrote a letter of desperation to Father Bill saying that I thought the
devil has done something to me and how can all this be. As I was driving to My Father’s
House to give father the letter I heard these words, “At 12 noon you will experience
great joy”. I said, “Yea right Monica, you are crazy” When I reached My Father’s House I
couldn’t find Father Bill. I was near tears so I went into the chapel to pray and there he
was. He knew I was upset and came over and sat down. I just started to cry and try to
tell him what was happening. He asked me to step outside. He began to pray over me.
Blessed Mother started to speak. She stated that she was calling me and asked if she
could use my hands to help her with a mission. She told me I had a long way to go in my
faith but that she would help me. She asked me to continue to listen for her. She then
told me that she loves me and that she loves all her children and wants to save her
family and that this would be a long road to travel for me.

When father was done praying over me, I was filled with such joy and peace. I don’t
know why or how I looked at my watch but it was 12 noon that only increased my joy.
To this day I have a hard time believing that this had happened to me. Why would God
choose me? I am still a sinner and have such a long way to go. It humbles me every
time I think about it and at the same time I feel so blessed that God has allowed me to
be part of His plan and that His plan is not about me but it’s about the family. All of
us…God’s family.

I kept receiving messages from Our Blessed Mother and Jesus and Father Bill watched
over everything. At that time, Blessed Mother gave many messages about unity and said
that a group will form in your church to advance the message. To my great surprise, it all
happened as she said. A group was formed without my help. It included many others
from different parishes. Knowing that Mary’s message at that time was centered on the
events to come, she wanted us to formulate a book-binder that could be

7
used to help our brothers and sisters, because great conversions were coming and our
priests would be held hostage in the confessionals. With Father Bill’s endorsement, the
binder contained many teaching of the Catholic Church, emphasizing how to make an
examination of conscience and encouraging us to seek reconciliation and so much
more.

The binder was the combined effort of many devout catholic people. Both the image and
the explanations of that image was then sent out to many countries. During this phase I
was constantly tempted by Satan, saying that this work was just my imagination. At that
time, I attended a cenacle to collect my thoughts and pray the rosary. I wanted so much
to be part of Jesus’s life but many trials were yet to come. My husband grew increasing
angry with me because I was changing so rapidly. In the heat of the moment he yelled at
me saying that he was going to have me committed to an insane asylum. It was
understandable on his part. I thought I was crumbling. In tears of agony I went to my
back door and looked to the sky and said, “Blessed Mother I don’t know if I can do this
for you. Please send me a shooting star to say that you understand”. Before I finished
saying the word, the biggest shooting star that I have ever seen, shot across the sky but I
was still so disheartened and afraid.

The next day however, God gave me new strength and told me to talk with Father Bill.
When I arrived at My Father’s House he wasn’t there but Sister Bernadette was. I told
her everything. She told me that God will bless my obedience to my husband. I did what
she told me because I love my husband. I backed off and told the group that I could no
longer be physically involved. I had to stop going to the prayer group and reciting the
rosary on Friday nights. I continued to receive messages but did so very quietly. The
prayer group continued to work on the mission and when the binder was finished, they
took it to the Marian Movement of Priests conference in Philadelphia. What came next
made me almost want to faint.

8
I was told by a friend who was at the conference that a priest came to the booth where
both the binder and image was being displayed. My friend had put a picture of me up,
which to this day kind of embarrasses me. Father looked at it and said to my friend to go
home and tell that girl that this was from God. He said that this would be long and very
hard but to endure because it will be worth it. When he finished speaking the fragrance
of roses filled the room. They were shocked and overjoyed. When I heard it I cried
because I was so filled with doubt all the time, not knowing if I was crazy. It was that
feeling of relief that one gets when good news comes when your worry has driven you to
the brink.

My friend asked, “who are you and how did you know that this was from God”? Father
replied sternly, “Because God told me”! His name was Father Faracci. Many months
later I was asked to tell the story to a small group of people. There was one women in
particular who glared at me and made me shake in my boots. When I told them about
this priest she gasped. I was shocked. I thought, “Oh no, what did I say?” She asked me if
I knew who he was and I said no. She told me that Father Faracci comes from the
Vatican to determine if Marian events were real or not. She said, “You have no idea how
big that is”. Again, I cried. I know it sounds like I cry a lot but doubt and self-analysis
was always with me. I was in constant fear of vainglory and to receive these
confirmations was tremendous and overwhelming at the same time.

Within one of the messages that Blessed Mother gave, she said that she would come to a
small group of people and confirm that all this was from Heaven. So being human and
thinking that we would see her soon, we all thought it would be an event of grandeur.
We couldn’t have been more mistaken but Blessed Mother did come. In the following
pages I will tell you about it.

As mentioned before, the book-binder went out to many countries for about five years
and then everything became very quiet. I stopped receiving messages. I don’t write
anything unless the calling is there because I fear misleading anyone. I had no idea

9
what to do and the doubt grew so heavy along with horrible attacks from Satan. It was
almost as if he said “you want unity? I’ll show you unity. I’m going to rip your family
apart”. My family was thrown into a perpetual nightmare. Division and hardship almost
overtook us. It was God’s grace and my whole family’s prayers that pulled us through. I
was at times so numb from the stress that I couldn’t pray and which only added to my
doubt about all this. My feelings of guilt just multiplied. I thought I was letting Jesus
and Mary down. There were times on my drive to work that I would say to Jesus that I
have nothing to give, so please take my nothingness for souls. Please take all my failures
and sins and change them for the good of others. This period of my life almost destroyed
me.

I come to realize in time that God is good and wise and He has a plan, as I look back.
Happily, my family was brought back to true unity and love, much greater than before.
It was at this time that I understood that it’s all about family. I believe I had to go
through this ordeal, in order to understand what was to come next, and too, I had to live
the message of family as it was imprinted in my heart as a result from these trials, that
it’s all about the family and how we must love each other, forgive each other and always
stick together. Together we can weather any storm.

I also believe that a silence came because at the time around the year 2000, so many
people thought the end times were going to happen at any moment. There was almost a
frenzy in those years. I also believe that this mission of unity and hope was meant to be
kept quiet until the time was right and it gave us all time to settle down. And too, a very
holy man was consulted early on about this call and he said, “Yes, this is right but there
is much more and it isn’t what you think”. Blessed Mother did say that she had come
long ahead of time to reveal her last title. She wasn’t kidding. I thought a long time
meant a couple of months.

In about 2007, I was praying my rosary as I was sitting on my bedroom floor. Out of
nowhere, I had such a profound interior vision that I was struck to the core which

10
has never happened to me before. It was the vision of the The Seal of Unity and
Hope. I had no idea what it was and Blessed Mother asked me to draw it. I ran fast to
my sketch pad and it took 6 hours to try to get it right. I heard Mary calling me. She
told me to call Bob Murphy and tell him about it and that Blessed Mother had much
more she wanted to say.

Bob is very well known for his work at My Father’s House and his work with Divine
Mercy. I called Bob and told him everything. Blessed Mother told me that Bob was to be
another spiritual director, and to start writing because Mary asked me to sit and write
every day but I protested it. I told Bob that I didn’t want to be responsible in leading
people astray after just having been through such a long dry period. I doubted
everything and I was downright scared. Well, Bob didn’t stand for that. He said, “Do it!”
and the messages started flowing like a river.

Bob then asked me to come to his house. He asked me to sit in front of Jesus on the
cross and ask for a message. I didn’t know it but Bob was putting me through a test. I
received a message starting with the words, I am Jesus of Divine Mercy. I gave it to Bob
who then told me it was a test to discern if this was real. He told me that if the message
didn’t begin with those words he would know that all this was not from God.

Messages came from the Blessed Mother, Jesus and God Our Father describing what
the image was all about and why it had to be given to the world. I was told that it was a
gift from Our Father to Our Blessed Mother and to all of us. It was all about family.
Mary said that “Our Father has given this image to His family to reaffirm that He has
not forgotten us and that His plan will be made complete and that the image was the
sign of completion. It is a gift from the Father to the Mother she said”. It was her
greatest desire to have her family completely united to the Holy Trinity which is her
love of loves and that she contains perfect love for God and perfect love for her family.
She is a mother calling us home.

11
One morning after receiving communion I was praying and suddenly I had another
intense interior vision. Our Blessed Mother was holding the gold ring around the
image in one hand and the center of the image in the other hand. She then pressed the
two together showing me that she had been given this call. Mary went on to describe
the meaning of every part of the image. Another group led by Bob was formed and the
image was made on the computer because my painting of it wasn’t very good.

The Image with its description was taken to Bishop Dunlap in Toronto and received an
imprimatur. Soon after I received a message saying that the image would go to the
Vatican, I called Bob with the message but he interrupted me to tell me that a very holy
priest had come to his home. He asked this priest to look at the image and tell him what
he thought. He said that he starred at it for 20 minutes and was moved to tears. This
priest said that it was a “complete theology” and that it would go to the Vatican. Bob had
to ask me if I was still on the phone because I was speechless. This priest worked in and
out of the Vatican and the image was given to Pope Benedict by him. The image was also
sent to the Archdiocese of Hartford.

While all this was happening, I saw a statue of Our Lady at my church. I was so hurt to
see how awful it looked so I asked our priest if I could take it home to fix it. She was
missing a thumb and someone had painted a unibrow on her. I poured my heart into
painting her. When I was finished I returned her to the church where she was placed in
one of the Catechism classrooms.

My sister Michele was a chief consultant on the painting of it. She had an eye for beauty
and helped me paint it. Michele died in 2003 but I will never forget her and Our Blessed
Mother gave me a great gift through her. This is what happened.

Mary explained that she became Our Mother of Unity and Hope when she gave her fiat
to God. When she became Mother of God, she became mother of all. I also asked Our
Blessed Mother, “why is your title Mother of Unity and Hope and not our Lady of Unity

12
and Hope”? She said that the whole world will come to know her as Mother. I also asked
why this call was to come out of Saint Monica’s Church and she explained to me that St.
Monica is the saint of motherhood and conversion for family. Blessed Mother also made
the connection between St. Monica’s and St. Augustine which are now linked parishes in
my home town. I asked why again and she told me that it represents Mother and Son, St.
Augustine and St. Monica, Jesus and Mary. These two parishes are now united under a
new name, St. Ambrose and they bound together like mother and son.

To finish this part of the story, a friend of mine was teaching CCD on Oct. 19th (my
sister Michele’s birthday). The year was 2010. My friend and fifteen 7th graders were
praying the first joyful mystery of the rosary which is about Mary’s fiat to God. The
statue I painted which I knew in my heart was Our Mother of Unity and Hope came
fully alive in front of them. She was breathing, smiling and nodding her head. The kids
saw that she was pregnant. It was described to me that she was surrounded by a golden
glow. The children were asked to write their testimony down for our priest. Mary did
come as she said she would. I cried and felt so blessed that she let me know that she
came on my sister’s birthday.

I realize now that I will not see our Blessed Mother, I am not a visionary. She told me
long ago that I had a long way to go in my faith. Mary said she would come to a small
group to testify that this was all from Heaven. Since that time, I no longer doubted but I
was asked to wait longer. That longer wait turned into 6 years. I consulted with Bob
about how we should send this out to the world. I was told it wasn’t time yet on many
occasions. I do understand now, why God gives a spiritual director, to teach us
temperance and patience. As I said before, left to my own devices, I would have messed
all this all up. I learned over the years that obedience to a spiritual director was most
important. It wasn’t until April 2016 when Jesus said, “Finish where you began,” at My
Father’s House. My heart breaks at this point of the story.

13
My friend Bob has been bed ridden for 2 years suffering in tremendous pain. I called
him to tell him what Jesus said. He sounded so weak but still laughed here and there. I
heard him jolt in pain as we spoke. I tried not to let him hear my tears. He told me that
he is dying and that it was time to go forward. I told him how much I loved him and how
thankful I was. I could have done nothing without him and that I will not do anything
without his blessing. He gave me his blessing and said to go back to My Father’s House
in Moodus, Connecticut. I have since met with Father McCarthy and he said it was time
to go forward. My sorrow for Bob is so great but the feeling of relief that the image with
this story and its explanation is finally going out to is also a great relief. It has been such
a long and arduous road.

It was in these following months that Jesus was calling to finish what was started, not
through me but through my brother Michael. My brother attended Holy Apostles
Seminary working diligently for his Master’s Degree in Pastoral Studies. As a capstone
project, Michael chose to put together a bereavement program called, “Bereavement
Miracles, a program of UNITY AND HOPE.” It is a 12-Step program formulated to help
others who have lost a loved one. His program was led by the Holy Spirit and has since
been published for the use of the universal church.

In the time that Mike was putting his project together, he asked me to attend the
bereavement meetings. You could feel the love of God pouring out to help those who felt
lost. It was magnificent. Mike asked me to briefly explain the image at one of the
meeting. With 15 minutes, I tried to explain 21 years, and convey Our Blessed Mother’s
calling as family and by her own words, she said, “unity is our safe harbor in the storm.”
The storm being that mankind has been lured to sleep by the adversary. Our
technological age has brought us to not believe in God but to believe in self. We are not
seeing how much we are lost. The goodness of our Mother is bringing us back to our real
reality…. The Family of God. I wish I could share the whole world with my brother Mike.
He helps those, to see their goodness within, in the eyes as image and in likeness in our
Creator.

14
Since Bob had given me his blessing, Mike gently prodded me to spread the meaning of
the image by writing my story. What he had in mind I never had expected. His Capstone
project needed a cover. Shaving one morning, he believes the Holy Spirit directed him
to ask me, “Monica can I use the Seal of Unity and Hope for the front cover of my book.”
This way the image will go throughout the world on the internet. Of course I said yes
and I am so happy for his push. The amazing thing about this image and the book
“Bereavement Miracles” is that it is centered on unity and fellowship and family. Low
and behold Mike became published before his graduation in the spring of 2016. He has
a great love for family and for God. It was with his gentle nudging that I was able find
the courage to go forward.

During a phone conversation, I told Mike how afraid I was. He said to me in so many
words, “How will you feel if when you die and go before God that you didn’t go the whole
distance?” He explained that God will give inspiration though the Holy Spirit and that
he has given us the gifts and courage, therefore we need to see things through. I have to
admit, his advice made me feel sort of like being blind-folded, holding onto the Lord’s
hand tightly and jumping off a cliff. Oh my, did he opened my eyes I thought. “If I love
Jesus and Mary that much, then just do it”, he said! It was these circumstances that lead
me back to God’s work and to what Jesus said previously, “Finish where you began, at
My Father’s House.” Looking back, it always amazing to me how delicate and yet how
strong God’s plan is for us as our eternal Father. Everything is a fine tapestry that He
has woven in salvation history. Now that the story and the explanations of the image are
finally out I can thank the God and the Blessed Mother for all that they did for including
me in His glory and praise.

In conclusion, I hope that the image and message together brings relief of Blessed
Mother’s tears and renews trust in God our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I
constantly pray for unity for our whole human family and an end to Satan’s reign. I
hope that this story never becomes about me because it is a beautiful message from the
Holy Trinity and our beautiful Blessed Mother. I don’t want to be perceived as a

15
visionary or special in any way because the mission is about family. It is about a great
gift given to us in this time of mercy, as a gift from the Holy Trinity.
Listed are the messages that explains the image and the purpose and I hope
they reach all hearts.

I will try to clarify the heart of this call. There were over 100 messages given in
explanation of the image. I have included some of them as they were said to me.

In prayer, I heard Jesus say, “I welcome all who come to Me and enter My heart of
mercy. My dear people, how blest you are when you enter into the unity of the Holy
Trinity for within there lies all knowledge and all strength. These days which are
unfolding in front of you are the days that I have waited for. I have long awaited to
establish true unity among you. It is with great joy that I welcome all who will join
hands and hearts with me. I reaffirm to you today that in order to bring completion to
my plan of redemption and re-establish your true inheritance in the Garden of Eden, I
must also include you in its work.”

Blessed Mother said in prayer, “Dear children, do not be distracted with the events of
the world but focus rather on the gift of Unity and draw strength from each other’s gifts
and talents. Dear children, it is with joy that I raise this image up in my hand for it is my
family united in love with each other and the truths of Holy Mother Church. Your true
home is found when you look upon this image. I encourage each child to look deeply in
spirit upon it, for graces of Love and Unity and the understanding of your true
inheritance is found there. The Holy Spirit will confirm God’s love for you and you will
be taken to great heights of TRUST in you, through my Son your savior, Jesus Christ.”

It was explained to me that with the fall of Adam and Eve the trust in God died in the
heart of man. The image is to help us restore trust in God the Father. Blessed Mother
shared this… “Dear children, with this renewed trust in the Father and with all the
illusions from the evil one now melted away, you will be sustained in truth, for you will

16
know God's plan of completion, fulfillment and salvation and hold in your hearts, true
confidence in Him and His holy love for you all and it is within unity with the Holy
family and with the Holy Trinity that you will understand God's fraternal loving plan
with Me your Mother giving you shelter in My Immaculate Heart. Therefore, I ask my
children to come and seek the light of truth found within my Heart.”

Jesus said this about the Holy Trinity. The “Three (meaning the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit) always was, and always shall be about love and it is what all creation was
generated from. Love is the matrix of the Holy Trinity. The unity of the Holy Trinity is an
example of this unifying love that exists in the human family. And too, what was shown
to you in the Holy Family, (Jesus, Mary and Joseph), the Father wanted all to see the
Holy Family as an example of this unity, the same unity of the Trinity. This is how things
were meant to be in the beginning and it is through unity that the beginning will be
restored. I came to mankind through the unity of my Mother and Saint Joseph. It is
family that will restore mankind to its original beauty. You can see now that I bring
family together to fight the last battle. Certainly, I could have manifested a different plan
for your salvation but it would not have represented to you, the unity of the Holy Trinity
which all should have been a part of. In order to restore mankind to his true inheritance,
I must also restore him back to the Holy Trinity. It is the unity of family, the Father’s
first wish for mankind, to have had with Him.”

The image of God in man nourishes his desire for God and is realized in the sacrament
of marriage, which participates in the ordering of father in the family image. The
supernatural unity existing in the Trinity draws man to a complete restoration. Jesus
said, “It is for this reason that this symbol of completion was given to you because it
contains all of my plan to bring us all into unity, into your true inheritance as brothers
and sisters with me united to the Most Holy Trinity. I gave the Church to you as my
foundation from which to build my plan of unity and bring you all to the completion of
the plan. My plea has always included you my brothers and sisters and it cannot be
completed without you. We are family and we will stand together to defeat evil and rid

17
the world of its chaos. The understanding of this images goes throughout all eternity as
is my plan for my people, to live forever with me united in the Most Holy Trinity. There
is no greater love than what is found in the Unity of the Trinity. As you grow closer to it,
you will see that no obstacle is too great nor any communication to impossible or
difficult to spread my call to Unity, for all is possible with God my Father. I ask that my
message go out to the world. It is time for the family of God to take arms with the Most
Holy Trinity. Together in unity shall evil be defeated. I will seal the gates of Hell with
this image for it represents salvation made possible once the Holy Family has been
made complete. Take arms my brother and sisters. I am with and bless you in three
ways, through the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

Jesus also said, “Your enthusiasm and the call to unity through Me, will bring
an explosion of renewal.”

Our Lord’s Prayer to the Father,

John 17: 20-26

“Father, my prayer for them is not to be alone. I pray also for those who will believe in
me through this message, that all will be one with you Father, just as you are in me and
I am in you. May they be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I
have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one. I in
them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that
you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

Father, I want those that you have given me, to be with me where I am and to see my
glory, the glory you have given me because you have loved me before the creation of the
world. Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they
know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make
them known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I
myself may be in them.”

18
The prayer of Jesus became profound to me over the years. I do believe that Jesus offers
up His prayer of petition, knowing quite well that it will be fulfilled by the Father. I do
think the call to unity and the end of the evil one is incorporated in it. I think it is
Jesus’s call to the Family that comes now and that the fulfillment of His prayer is at
hand. I was told through prayer that this message of strong unity has been hidden for
many years because the enemy would have scattered God’s people to the four winds a
long time ago. So when Mary said, that she comes long ahead of time to pronounce her
last title, (Mother of Unity and Hope) in the quietness of the night over the last 21 years.
I love how Jesus and Mary work things out.

I do believe it is the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I thought I should offer this next full message which I received in prayer because it
speaks of Our Blessed Mother’s call and her guardian ship over her children.

“My beloved daughter, it is I your Mother of Unity and Hope. All praise and glory be to
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear children I come to you today to
once again invite you into the refuge of My Immaculate Heart which is completely
united to the Holy Trinity. Within my heart I hold all unity and through my intersession,
join me in unity to the Most Holy Trinity, regaining for you your inheritance to the
Family of God. Within my heart I can lead you to unity with the Triune God. I am able to
give you peace even in an upset world. I am able to lead you home to holiness and
wisdom which the Holy Trinity wishes for you. Come to me with the gift of your heart
and I will raise it up to God, your Father. He will then bind you to Himself, locked deep
within His the Holy Trinity. It was always meant to be that your beauty and freedom as
the children of God find its life in the center of the heart of God, which would radiate in
you and through you to each other bringing all to unity with your creator. From the
beginning you were created in love and to this end you shall be united in love. My dear
children, hold not your hearts away from God. Allow me to bring my family home. I am
your Mother and I want you, my children to come home. Love each other, give to each

19
other, and listen to each other. In this way, I am able to bring you together united to
your Father, His Son and His Holy Spirit. Dear children, let your worldly defenses melt
away in my hand and you will see the beauty and dignity of all your brothers and sisters.
Dear children, I love each of you and I again call you to unity. It is our bond of family
unity which will rid the world of evil and its sorrow forever. I love you my children and
my heart rejoices when I see your love for each other. YOU ARE MY ARMY OF LOVE. I
am with you always. Go forth and sound the beautiful song of family unity. I bless you
each in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.”

This scripture was given: Galatians 3: 23-29. “But before the faith come, we were kept
under the law shut up, unto that faith which was revealed. Which fore the law was our
pedagogue in Christ: that we might be justified by faith. But after the faith has come, we
are no longer under a pedagogue. For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ
Jesus. For as many of you have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. There is
neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female.
You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you be Christ: you are the seed of Abraham, heirs
according to the promise.”

The Image Introduction

(The following is the combined work of many of who were called to help in
this endeavor)

Beginning in 1995, the Blessed Virgin Mary revealed her last title as Mother of Unity and
Hope. Mary, Mother of Unity and Hope asked that an image be painted and venerated
as an expression of the unity offered by the most Blessed Trinity to God’s beloved
children. At its heart, the image reflects the fulfillment of Salvation History, and is a
reflection of the Trinitarian covenant found in John’s Gospel.

Our Mother of Unity and Hope tells us specifically that the image is God’s sign to us of
the plan He had for His children since the beginning of Time. Notably, one theologian

20
has called the image a “complete theology”. Summoning her children with an intensity
found throughout the messages, Our Mother of Unity and Hope is calling us to “come
home in confidence to your Father’s family.”

She is inviting her children into her Immaculate Heart to bring us closer to Jesus
through her call to unity. “Have no fear,” she says “for unity is you harbor in the storm.”

To simplify the message, the following is a summation and explanation of the image,
along with an outline of the symbols that Our Mother asked to be depicted in the image.

In the message, Our Mother of Unity and Hope said that she is revealing the image as a
sign of hope for mankind. The image she tells us, represents the full essence and
understanding of her call to unity.

Our hope, she says, is found in our complete union with the Most Holy Trinity, with her
and with Holy Mother Church, including our brothers and sisters on earth and the
angels and saints in Heaven.

This image she says is given to us now from the Father “to reaffirm you in hope since its
fulfillment is near”

The symbols of the Image.

Alpha and Omega.

Impressed upon the Most Holy Eucharist, which brings Heaven and earth together, are
the signs of the Alpha and Omega. In all languages, these symbols are universal. They
represent God in the Most Holy Trinity, fully combined with the Dove (Holy Spirit)
and Jesus upon the Cross.

21
It shows that with the Alpha and Omega that His plan is to reunite His children with
Himself, is completed through Jesus’s sufferings upon the cross. These symbols, the
Alpha and Omega and Jesus upon the cross, represent all that mankind knows of God
through Holy Mother Church and scripture.

The Alpha and Omega represent God in the beginning and in the end. It is He who is
and will always be. It also signifies that God from the beginning had a fatherly plan for
the salvation of mankind. Our Mother says, “It signifies the end of evil, the completion
of His plan.”

The Dove.

The Holy Spirit represents the creation of the universe, of mankind and the angels and
all things created good. It is radiant as it expresses God’s love for His children. It was
through the workings of the Holy Spirit that Holy Mother Church began and grew. The
Dove represents His sending forth His love since the beginning of time. The Dove (Holy
Spirit) was sent into the world to teach mankind of God in the Most Holy Trinity. All is
done now through the Holy Spirit. He is the entire essence of God’s Trinity. The Holy
Spirit issued out from the Father’s heart and gave birth to Jesus, our Savior. He is the
presence of God manifested in the flesh and in all His children. “All is connected”, our
Mother says.

Our Mother says, “These images of the Alpha and Omega and the Dove are embedded
in the Most Holy Eucharist, the true presence of Jesus, your food from God, your life
and your love.”

The Crucifix.

The crucifix at the center reminds every soul of the mercy and sacrifice Jesus gave for
all. Jesus upon the cross signifies the redemption of mankind, God’s plan from the
beginning of time. All radiance and love was sent from the beginning, always issuing

22
forth for mankind. It is unending and salvific. The remembrance of Jesus’s love and
sacrifice shall always be seen and commemorated for all eternity. It shall never be
forgotten and thus remains upon the image for all eternity.

The Golden Ring

The golden ring around the Eucharist represents mankind’s unity with the Most Holy
Trinity. It represents the unity of Holy Mother Church on earth from the foundation of
the four Gospels which have reached the four corners of the earth. The ring represents
God’s children, the Holy Family of God which encircles the Triune God. The Holy
Family is gathered around the Most Holy Trinity (Alpha and Omega). The circle of the
Eucharist and golden encasement represent complete union, an unending circle where
all people are united under one faith and one Triune God. The Golden circle represent
our true inheritance.

The Rays of Light.

The rays of light represent God’s love for mankind as it was from the beginning of time
to the present, and for all eternity. These rays not only represent the mercy that God
has given to man through the sacrifice of His only Son, but the entire glory of God as
the Word made flesh reunites Him with His children. Radiance flows from the heart of
Jesus expressing the love of your Father for you. The cataclysm of creation was God’s
love, poured out establishing the universe, the angels, and His creatures.

At the birth of His beloved Son, the Father’s heart was the brilliant star illuminating
the night, drawing the faithful to the stable were He lay. Upon the crucifixion and
death of His Son, Jesus’s heart was pierce allowing the love of the Trinity to pour forth
in love and mercy. As these rays issue out, they too are at the same time, drawing you
back through the heart of Jesus, fulfilling the scripture passage “No one comes to the
father except through Me.”

This image will be held up throughout all eternity to express God’s joy of having Him

23
united with His children in the immeasurable beauty and glory of Heaven. The Father
said “From the beginning, my children have been the aim of all of my affection,” the
Blessed Mother explained.

Our Mother of unity and hope says. “My hand holds all, as I contain perfect love for
Holy God in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and my maternal perfection
covets the Church united.

All is held in my hand as it is I, your Mother of Unity who holds perfect love for all, my
God Triune, my children, my family.

Our Father in Heaven has places this image in my hand as a gift to His Mother and
spouse, for the Father wishes to fulfill my deepest desire, my family being restored and
pressed to the Heart of the Trinity as is my own. “Through my hands comes all grace
and it represents the co-redemption of the world.”

She continues, “Our hearts are conjoined together in the salvation of the world, but it is
my hand which God uses to dispense His grace. Being both Mother and Spouse to the
Most Holy Trinity and mother to you my children, God willed that I give myself to you.

Thus I am the Handmaid of God and to you my children, for within my heart I have
loved you from the beginning of time.

You are my children and I love each of you. I willingly died with my son Jesus, and for
you. So you see my children, I hold God and you in my hand. You are my gift from God,
you are my family. This image represents the New Jerusalem on earth, the completion
of God’s plan, the unity of heaven and earth. It is to say; the new stamp representing
mankind united to God as it was originally planned. Look to this image, for it
embodies all unity and all hope of completion of His plan.”

24
The following are other key points that our mother wanted included.

 Our Mother of Unity and Hope asks that the image be spread around the world,
and displayed in churches and homes everywhere.

 It is an image of hope and a reaffirmation of God’s love and redemption of

mankind. Through this image hearts will TRUST again.

 She calls the spreading of this image a great mission, one that reaches to the
halls of the Vatican because it is the final call in these end times.

 The image will inflame souls with a desire for unity with God and neighbor.

 Great graces will come through this image, enabling sinners to stay close to the
heart and sufferings of Jesus where no evil cannot co-exist.

 Our Mother of Unity and Hope says,” It is the summation of all the parts to
bring the whole of creation back together again.”

 God wants the image to be made known as a gift and sign of hope for mankind.
He wants us to hold hands in unity and never despair. When things become
difficult, we are to look upon the image and see the beauty within ourselves.

 The image will spark fire in souls. Once people have seen it and understand its
meaning, their souls will wish to be united to it, since within it is found both God
and all our brothers and sisters.

 We cannot comprehend the full meaning of the image until our soul are united to
God in the Beatific Vision in heaven. Comprehension of it goes beyond the mind
and reaches deep into the heart of God Himself.

 No one part of the image can be without the other.

 God has given the knowledge of His redemptive plan through the teaching of
Holy Mother Church and Scripture and wishes to have it represented in this
image.

 Great graces will come through this image, both for conversion and hope and put
death to evil in the world. The graces will enable sinners to find refuge in unity
enabling them to stay close to the heart and sufferings of Jesus where no evil can
co-exist.

25
  The image will be a new sign to adorn in every church on earth. It is the symbol
of completion. It is the symbol for the Church triumphant and the Triumph of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is to be dispersed as a sign of HOPE!

 The call to unity is far greater than we can ever know. For the image marks the
end of all separation from God. Unity at last is full and complete, never to end.
Does it not make sense to you why unity and your Mother of Unity and Hope
comes in the end of the chapter?

 Our Mother of Unity and Hope says, “It is the summation of all the parts, to
bring the whole of creation back together again.”

 It will be through the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart that mankind
will forever be joined in unity of heart, mind and spirit with God. Then we will
have divine unity”

 Unity is the spark of the Holy Spirit. Once it is ignited, the flames of love will
engulf the world. Therefore, Our Mother says, “Be at peace within my flame
of love”

Our Mother of Unity and Hope asked that these key scriptures not be separated from
the image or her messages.

John 17:20-26

 “My prayer is for them not to be alone. I pray also for those who will believe in
me through their message, that all may be one with the Father, just as you are
in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you
have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as
we are one. I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the
world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

Father I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and see my
glory, the glory you have given me, because you loved me before the creation of
the world. Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you

26
 and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them and will
continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in
them and that I myself may be in them.’

Revelation 22; 12-14; 16-17

 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me and I will give to everyone

according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the
last, the beginning and the end. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that
they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates in the
city.” (v. 12-14 )

 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am
the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.’ And the
Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him
who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely come”
(v.16- 17)

27
Additional sources of unity and hope.

Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity

I. The Search for Christian Unity

(Mar 25, 1993)

Our unity is found in Christ. “The search for Christian Unity was one of the principal
concerns of the Second Vatican Council. Unity is a response to the gift of God’s grace
which calls Christians to faith in the mystery of the Church according to the design of
God who wishes to bring humanity to salvation and unity in Christ through the Holy
Spirit.” [9]

Vatican II again sets forth, “the mystery of the Church within the mystery of
God’s wisdom and goodness to draw the whole human family and indeed the
whole of creation into unity with Himself. [11]

To this end, God sent into the world His only Son, who was raised up on the cross,
entered into glory and poured out the Holy Spirit through whom he calls and draws into
unity of faith, hope and charity the people of the New Covenant which is the Church. In
order to establish this holy Church in every place until the end of the ages, Christ
entrusted to the college of the Twelve to which he chose Peter as head, the office of
teaching, ruling and sanctifying. It is the will of Jesus Christ, that through the faithful
preaching of the Gospel, the administration of the sacraments, and through government
in love exercised by the apostles and their successors under the action of the Holy Spirit,
this people should grow and its communion be made ever more perfect. [12]

ADIUTRICEM
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII
ON THE ROSARY (1895)

“In Mary, God has given the most zealous guardian of Christian unity.”

Vatican – Ave Maria: Mother of

Unity Rev. Luciano Alimandi (2007)

“The unity of Christians, the vital communion of life, unanimity of heart and mind must
be a priority in the life of the believer. In this immense task, Mary Mother of God

28
invoked as Mother of Unity comes to our aid. The Church is firmly convinced that the
cause of Christian unity is properly linked to the function of the spiritual maternity of
the Blessed Virgin Mary.”

Corinthians 9:22
For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win
more of them.

Pope John Paul II

1995 Apostolic Letter for the Fourth Centenary of the Union of Brest

Calls Mary, Mother of Unity

“A memory entrusted to Mary”

13. We cannot fail to entrust the yearning for full Christian unity to the Mother of
Christ, she who is ever present in the work of the Lord and of his Church. Chapter eight
of the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium points to her as the one who goes before
us on our earthly pilgrimage of faith and is tenderly present to the Church which, at the
end of the second millennium, is working to re-establish among all those who believe in
Christ that unity which the Lord wills for them. Because she is the Mother of the one
Christ, she is the Mother of unity. Since Mary, by the power of the Holy Spirit, gave
birth to the Son of God, who received from her his human body, she ardently wills the
visible unity of all believers who make up the Mystical Body of Christ. The veneration of
Mary, which unites East and West so intimately, will serve, I am convinced, the cause of
unity.

The Most Holy Virgin, already present everywhere in our midst both in so many sacred
buildings and in the life of faith of so many families continuously speaks of unity, a unity
for which she constantly intercedes. If today, in commemorating the Union of Brest, we
recall the marvellous wealth of veneration that the Christian people of the Ukraine have
offered to the Mother of God, we cannot but draw from this admiration for the history,
spirituality and prayer of those peoples the consequences for unity which are so closely
linked to those treasures.

Mary, who has inspired in their trials fathers and mothers, young people, the sick and
the aged; Mary, the column of fire capable of guiding so many martyrs of the faith, is
certainly at work in preparing the hoped-for union of all Christians: in the light of this,
the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church certainly has its own role to play.

To Mary the Church offers her thanks and asks her to make us share her concern for
unity. With filial trust let us abandon ourselves to her that we may be with her where
God will be all in all."

APOSTOLIC JOURNEY OF HIS HOLINESS
BENEDICT XVI TO TURKEY
(NOVEMBER 28 - DECEMBER 1, 2006)

MASS BEFORE THE SHRINE OF MERYEM ANA EVÌ

HOMILY OF THE HOLY FATHER

Ephesus
Wednesday, 29 November 2006

Pope Benedict XVI Calls Mary, Mother of Unity.

“Like Christ himself, the church is not only the instrument of unity, but also its
efficacious sign. And the Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ and the Church, is the Mother of
the mystery of unity which Christ and the Church inseparably signify and build up, in
the world and throughout history.”
Our Mother of Unity and Hope comes to us at this time to give a deeper understanding
of our dignity as the children of God and our true inheritance. She asks us to stake our
claim as the children of God and neither stand in front of, or behind Jesus and Herself
but side by side with them and all of Heaven as family to confront and abolish evil and
return to Eden. Given the increasing rise in secularization and indifference towards God,
the timing is not without coincidence.

Another coincidence of interest is that Pope Benedict XVI chose to issue his encyclical
letter, Spe Salvi (In Hope We Are Saved) 2007, the same year that the image was given
to the children of God.
From the beginning Fr. Bill McCarthy was my spiritual director along with Bob Murphy.
Answering Jesus’s call to ‘Finish where you began’, the Image of the (Seal of Unity and
Hope) has now been sent forth through My Father’s House in Moods, Ct. with the full
endorsement from Fr. McCarthy and Bob Murphy. On the first day of presentation
there, Fr. McCarthy pronounced that My Father’s House is now the Center Of Unity and
Hope.
I pray that our Mother’s call is answered by hearts wanting to be in unity with her
and the Holy Trinity.

Sincerely submitted in love,

Monica
