Something More

A Sign

Tuesday of the 15th Week of Ordinary Time

Imee Therese's POV:

As for me, I stayed at Anthony's bedside. He was transferred to a private room as he continues his way towards full recovery. There, I fall asleep...and dreamt...another wonder from God...along with my love.....

I saw a vision....standing above the clouds, just as always dreamt. But it was unlike any other dream...the sky below me is full of dark skies...threatening to rain below. Nevertheless, I started to walk into this seemingly endless terrain. Then, I saw a small throne that stands in the middle of nowhere. When I approached it, I noticed that nobody sits on it. I looked around...searching for someone that seeks to do so on the throne...I found nobody. Well, I feel exhausted by that time...as if I carried my frail body on my dream...so I decided to sir on the throne so I could rest but...

"Stop! Please don't sit on there!"

A loud voice was heard, frightening me from sitting. I looked around once more...and I saw a beam of light from afar. I run hurriedly towards the light to know what's going on...

And there, I saw three figures standing at the edge of the clouds...they seems to look at the majestic view of the entire world below us....

Christian Anthony's POV:

I just saw myself...standing at the edge of the clouds...and beside me...is a young man...and a middle aged lady....

The middle aged lady wears Jewish tunic and cloak, she has a scarf that serves as her hair covering....but what makes her special is that she has a crown...of glowing stars over her head.

The younger man, on the other hand, is wearing robes...that a medieval king usually wear. He has a cape...a staff with a cross in his right hand...and a large crown over his head. I noticed that he has a wound on his hands and bare feet.

"Aah! My Lo-"

I quickly recognized that the people beside me is the God Lord...and His mother Mary! But the solemnity that fills the atmosphere stopped me from calling them.

"Anthony! Anthony!"

Then, I heard a familiar sweet voice behind me. I looked around...and I saw Imee, running towards me.

"Huh? Imee?! Wha-what are you doing here?!"

"Well, I don't know. Hehehe!" She simply giggled and replied. "Perhaps the Good Lord wanted us to call both of us, that's why He visited our dreams."

Imee then approach the Good Lord and His mother Mary and kissed their hands in adoration.

Imee Therese's POV:

"O Good Lord, I beg your apologies. Anthony never been met You. Tell me then, what can we do for you, O Good Lord."

The Good Lord then points out to a familiar site...it is almost the same site as the cliff...where I was hit at the back and fall down. I saw people hanging at the cliff...screaming...and crying for help...for if they will cling off, they will fall to the red hot lava below...the kingdom of Satan.

"Umm...who are those people, O Dear Lord?" Anthony worriedly asked Him.

"They're the people in the purgatory, Anthony." I simply replied to him. "These are the ones who are supposed to be gone to heaven...but because of many sins that they have...they are in danger of going to hell...unless the painful fires cleanse them...'"

"Ooh...I see."

I saw the movement of the people clinging at the cliff...some of them are able to make it to the top of the cliff...while others lose their faith, cling off...and fall into the endless burning fires of hell. I know that I have given the opportunity to bring people the to the arms of God through His miracles...but...how is possible...that there are still people heading towards hell? The people that I know...that believes in all of the wonders that happened through me...are still taken away by the devil...

"I don't understand, Good Lord. Why people are being taken to hell?" I dared to ask Him. "I mean, they believed me....they prayed more often to you...is there anything that I've done wrong? Did I miss something?"

"No, my good child. They have been warned." Mother Mary answered me for Her Son. "You have given enough signs for all of them to return to the arms of God but they didn't listen. Yes, they believed you...they have prayed more often to Me...and Our Lord...but you didn't know that they hide their evil tricks under your merciful eyes...they pray in one hand...but they steal money from another. That's why they fall to the depths of hell. It's not you who has fault on this...it is them."

"That is why I had called you as the Servant of God five years ago." Mother Mary continues. "You have fulfilled your mission...offering your life in exchange of the miracles that you have given to show the power of God to people. You accepted His power even as a sinful being. And for you to execute His plan...I let you meet with new friends...especially Anthony. He is your warrior. He brings you out to a new world...bringing an opportunity to spread the Good News...."

My love smiles as Mother Mary finishes Her side. "Together, both of you are unbreakable. Now, you should continue your mission. There are still many people who needs your help. If you think that your actions are not enough, it's your choice to revise it...for I know that the Good Lord is within your hearts and will stay in you forever."

"Yes, O Loving Mother." Anthony smilingly promised Mother Mary. "I will continue in taking care of Your servant...and I will accept whatever You plan on my life. Let it be done according to your word."

"Thank you, O Loving Mother, for giving me my friends....and giving me Anthony. I promise that I will cherish them for the rest of my life...and I will continue your mission until my final breath."

And there, I started to regain my consciousness...I lifted my head and saw Anthony, already up and looking at me.

"Imee, what should we do today?"
