Outlines
🙏 A Mysterious Request and Obedience
The first paragraph discusses an encounter between a postulant named Terasing and a mysterious lady. The lady asks Terasing to wash her mother's feet, kiss them, and drink the water, which Terasing relays to her mother superior. Initially, the mother superior is skeptical but later complies. The paragraph ends with the mother superior reporting the incident to the Bishop, who advises caution.
🌹 Petal Shower and Spiritual Battle
This paragraph narrates a mystical event where rose petals fall from the sky, forming a cross, after Mass. Terasing recounts her experience of seeing the petals, and later, she battles unseen forces trying to strip her clothes. Her struggle, which is tied to spiritual conflict, ends with her becoming mysteriously blind, symbolizing a deeper spiritual trial.
😇 Blindness and Mystical Tests
The third paragraph focuses on Terasing’s struggle with blindness and the skepticism she faces. Despite accusations of unnatural causes, including psychological explanations, Terasing’s condition seems tied to her spiritual journey. A psychologist involved in church investigations studies her case, linking her blindness to deep spiritual phenomena.
🕊️ Devotional Mysticism and Apparitions
This section shifts to discussions of other religious figures who have had mystical experiences, like Sister Mildred Mary of Ohio and Sister Maria Natalia of Hungary. Both received apparitions of the Virgin Mary and were involved in the Church’s decisions regarding devotion. These apparitions parallel Terasing’s experiences, emphasizing humility, prayer, and penance.
🌸 The Sacred Ground and Petal Showers
Terasing is asked by the Virgin to keep the location of her apparitions secret. The paragraph highlights more instances of petal showers, a sign that convinced skeptical individuals in the community. The Virgin instructs the nuns to love and obey their superior, and they are asked to collect and venerate the petals, indicating the place's sacredness.
🕊️ The Request for a Statue
In the final paragraph, the Virgin requests a statue to be made of her, similar to the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes. This statue is intended to help the faithful visualize her and honor her. This request mirrors other historical apparitions where similar statues were asked for by visionaries.

Highlights
Tering's first conversation with the Lady lasted about 25 minutes and the Lady disappeared 5 minutes before the Angelus bells at 6:00 PM.
The Lady's startling request for Tering to wash, kiss, and drink the water used to wash the Prioress' feet was initially rejected.
Bishop Oar advised the Prioress to be cautious and to investigate the Lady’s identity before proceeding with the request.
The Lady's request was finally carried out, as Tering washed the Prioress' feet by 3:00 PM for the salvation of two souls.
Tering experienced internal conflict while carrying out the Lady’s orders but eventually complied.
Father Pablo Fernandez commented that the request was proof of obedience and not repulsive in the context of spiritual theology.
Tering's struggles with unseen forces led to her mysterious blindness, which was reported by the Prioress at 4:45 AM.
The Prioress received interior locutions that prepared her for Tering's blindness, and these were not shared with Tering.
Tering’s eyesight was restored on September 7th, a date revealed in advance to the Prioress through locutions.
The Lady revealed her identity to Tering by stating, 'I am your mother, and I am the mother of my son Jesus.'
Tering was tasked to pray and perform penance for fallen priests and nuns, a central theme in many of the Lady's apparitions.
A shower of rose petals, witnessed by the community, occurred during a mass as a sign of the Lady’s presence.
The Lady requested a statue of herself to be made for the community, similar in size to Our Lady of Lourdes.
Mary emphasized the importance of praying the rosary with devotion and meditation, not just mechanically.
Tering experienced multiple mystical events, including the Lady’s repeated appearances and messages about humility, simplicity, and prayer.

you unless there be a last strong
assault do not be afraid be brave your
enemy is jealous because you love your
mother Prius very much love her much
more wash her feet kiss them then drink
the water give this message to your
mother love her very much but tell
nothing to
others terin's first conversation with
the lady lasted about 25 minutes and the
lady disappeared 5 minutes before the
Angelus Bells were rung at 6:00 in the
evening after supper the postulant told
the Prius all that had earlier
transpired and relayed the lady's
startling request in her own words a
Prius recounts that she was dubious
since she wasn't sure about the lady's
identity and would not allow the
postulant to wash her feet much less
kiss them and drink the water afterwards
but when tering returned to her cell she
found the lady waiting for her with
another message
and a sign for the prioris the next day
mother Cecilia informed the auxiliary
Bishop about the new developments and
sought his advice regarding the strange
request Bishop Oar cautioned her to be
prudent and suggested that she find out
who the lady was at noon of the same day
terasing hurried to the Prius saying
that the lady had reappeared and
requested that the deed take place by
3:00 that afternoon for such acts would
be for the Salvation of two Souls that
of the prioris and her own with this
message the lady sent on teras sing's
person a sign when she saw
it she humbly said all right then said
get a a basine wash B get a basin and
water and let us do it she said uh so I
did it no and while doing it I was
looking at her mother CIA and she was
blushing because at that time we were
still
barefooted not like these days sandals
no that time we were really barefooted
but when we go out to the Garden we have
our wooden
shoes and so after that I took the the
water
no and natural from the human point of
view well if you think of the sacrifice
and the order the the um the order that
was given to me well it makes it
lighter but sometimes The Human
Side takes dominates the spiritual side
and so I was I felt I was going to throw
it out but I prayed our lady
said no just let me eat first so para
mother cilia will not be too embarrassed
Nam no so after eating after our
prayers we we were going to have
Recreation and before went to the
recreation room I went to
thec and then I threw it all out father
Pablo Fernandez a Dominican with some
experience in dealing with spiritual
Theology and mysticism comments on this
well it is repulsive to our human
judgment but it was a a proof of
obedience on the part of our blessed
lady so I I see nothing repulsive or
nothing wrong with
it it is interesting to note that in
1858 the Immaculate Conception had to
ask bernardet subu of Lords three times
to drink from the mud and eat weeds a
task which this future Saint could
accomplish only on her third attempt
this act scandalized and prompted
witnesses to say that bernardet had gone
mad an accusation that would also be H
against
terasing and it is a little known fact
that in Lords to this day many of those
who assist in the immersion of the sick
and the faithful will at the end of the
day drink from the murky Waters of the
baths as a sign of humility and
faith that evening a nun entered
terasing cell but when she spoke her
voice was that of the lady your mother
made a wise decision in obeying me now
that you have given me proof of your
humility and your mother of her
Simplicity I can now proceed both of you
will always remain under my
mantle after Mass on the following day
terasing witnessed For the First Time
The phenomenon which was soon to draw
thousands to Lipa I was in our cell and
fixing our bed in the morning no then I
heard I heard flapping of the
Wings didn't pay any attention I
was arranging my my bed that was after
Mass and then I looked up because I knew
there was something falling so I looked
up and I saw
[Music]
pets
said I was really I was really surprised
no the petals form the cross when they
reached the floor and so she called the
Prius and I told her the story and then
uh what happened with the petals she
took the
petals but I don't know what happened
after that 2 Days Later a little after
midnight on the Feast of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary teras sing's last physical
battle with the Enemy began she woke up
and felt unseen hands trying to strip
her of her clothes she he struggled
Broke Free and fled to the stairway
leading to the prior's cell I felt that
somebody grabbed my hand but I couldn't
see
anybody and I
said I was I was holding on to the hande
to the rails no trying to fight for
myself really I wanted to go up
fortunately M cilia was out of her
office she saw me so she ran to me and
tried to help me and see afterwards he
told me that par somebody's also pulling
me downstairs no where M she was put
pulling upstairs no I thought I would
really my body would really in house
already the prioris reports that at one
point in the struggle teras Singh Was
Heard to scream I have no eyes to see
your
indecencies she thought that she had
been completely stripped of her clothing
which made her feel utterly weak and
defenseless when the struggle ceased at
the ringing of the community Bell at
4:45 a.m. mother Cecilia discovered Tera
Singh had become mysteriously
blind it is significant that the lady
had asked terasing to love the Prius
much more for the postulant had earlier
declared to the adversary that in loving
mother Cecilia she loved her Lord Jesus
Christ in this light the lady 's rather
perplexing request for terasing to drink
the water that had been used to wash the
pri's feet can now be seen not only as a
request for humility or obedience but as
a way to frustrate the adversary
compliance with the lady's request
seemed to Bear almost immediate fruit
for it should be stressed that the first
petal shower occurred the very next
morning barely 14 hours afterwards like
a pebble thrown into a pool could this
simple of human collaboration have set
in motion a series of events the scope
of which we can only guess at of which
The Petal showers were merely an
external
[Music]
sign King's loss of sight signifies at
the start of her periodic bouts with
physical Affliction for she had accepted
the lady's request to sacrifice for the
conversion and salvation of others she
has disclosed that the lady would often
thank her and reveal the identity of the
priest or nun she was asked to suffer
for mother Cecilia seemed to anticipate
terin's needs with such astonishing
foresight that the girl suspected that
she had been in contact with a lady the
postulant was not aware that the event
events had entered another phase for the
prioris began to receive interior
locutions mother Cecilia revealed in her
account that a mysterious voice told her
in advance of the blindness and
suffering and would give her specific
dates and times when she had to stay by
the postulant side the voice also told
her that the girl's sight would be
restored on the 7th of September but all
this she did not reveal to Tera
Singh as all but the extern sisters wore
black veils when they walked around the
nuns at Carmel knew nothing of what was
happening to terasing and in the
Carmelite Spirit of death could not
inquire or comment on the unusual
behavior of the prioris and
postulant but one of them perhaps in a
fit of curiosity stole a look at the
postulant eyes sister when she lifted
the veil all she could see was white the
white of the eyes a clinical
psychologist Dr Maria Dolores Deon a
member of a commission that investigates
paranormal phenomena for the church is
interested in this case and on her own
initiative has interviewed several
witnesses including sister alons who
passed away in
1990 do deeon states that teras sing's
eyes had probably rolled up as a matter
of fact when we put people under
hypnosis and when they are in real deep
trans this also goes up the eyeballs go
up see so when you um sometimes when the
eyes are um physically big bigger than
usual uh they cannot even close the eyes
all the way and so you will only see the
white peeping out no black so this is
actually possible to the idea that
terrain's blindness may have been
self-induced Dr Deon points out that
this Affliction occurred two more times
she had no reason to induce this this
occurred after the devil had stopped
coming tering began to suffer from the
thought that her blindness could result
in her rejection from Carmel whose cloer
she had embraced despite opposition from
her family and the oppression of
diabolical forces ugly talk had also
begun to circulate among the nuns that a
lesbian relationship was developing
between the Prius and the postulant I
was not allowed to go around because I
couldn't see anything if I go to the
chapel mother cilia would bring me to
the chapel would lead me Dr Deon has
subjected terasing to some test to
determine if the Visionary had any
abnormal sexual Tendencies so in the
test that I gave it did not even show
that she had strong masculine Tendencies
or strong feminine tendency it was very
average Tera sing's Affliction gave her
the confidence to beg the lady for just
one initial of her name a request that
was answered with the letters b VM on
the 30th of August the priice was
present when the postulant asked if she
could kiss the lady's
foot I was I was telling to myself but
then I kissed no but so carefully B I
think I really just reached the I kissed
the the nail perhaps no and it
was
and the impression that I had even
though I was
blind when I did like
that Silk something like that no and and
then I I I was about to kiss the other
the other
no because I said to myself one is
really more than enough for me on
September 7th Tera Singh regained her
sight the portess had ushered Bishop Oar
into the Parlor where the prioris and
postulant were waiting our Bishop was
there and she was her eyes was towards
the
place and really her her eyes different
think
very clear but there was something
really
different that's I was sure that she was
really blind suddenly I felt someone
made a sign of the cross here on both my
eyes and soon after that then my I
recovered my sight and I was so happy I
was jumping up and down no at least I
said I can I can still Pala see that was
really very very happy not and M was
very happy and she said now you you you
must be in peace now she said and so uh
just as when I went blind so suddenly no
when I recovered my side it was also as
sudden as
that only much later did tering learn
that the Prius had been prompted by
interior locutions to kiss her eyes in
order to restore her sight if the
preceding account seems bizarre or
medieval one must remember what the
trend of past apparitions has shown us
that the Virgin manifests herself in a
way that she will best be received in
this case the Visionary is a religious
and therefore one should not be
surprised to find the apparitions woven
into the context of religious life
specifically the carlite spirituality
whose Dynamics may be totally foreign
and unintelligible to the ordinary
person
in the early 1940s there were other
accounts of those of the religious
orders who were the recipients of
messages and apparitions of the Virgin
two contemplative nuns one in the United
States sister Mildred Mary of Ohio and
the other in Hungary sister Maria
Natalia both received new titles of
Devotion to the Blessed Virgin both also
had mystical experiences sister Mildred
Mary had initially been advised to be
cautious L she suffer from an overactive
imagination but in the end the
Archbishop who was her spiritual
director ordered a medal struck and the
first and second printing of the
messages of Our Lady of America on the
other hand sister Maria Natalia's
apparitions dealt with the chastisement
of the church and the Earth and of the
Triumph of Mary as Victorious Queen of
the world it is reported that these
messages were particularly instrumental
in convincing Church officials to
designate a feast day in honor of the
queenship of Mary what is interesting is
that many of the messages she received
in war torn Hungary from 1942 to
1945 were to be re-echoed in
1948 in the little archipelago of the
Philippines
[Music]
it is apparent to those who studied the
events at Le PA that there are several
stages of development the first involves
terce Singh alone her alleged encounters
with the devil and the lady in her cell
a secondary phase is introduced when the
Prius claims to receive interior
locutions then follows what might be
called the formal phase where the ladies
manifestations begin to Bear semblance
to other apparitions such as at Lords
and Fatima it is striking that all those
who have seen the lady such as Katherine
laere alons rattis bone bernardet subu
the children at lelet at Fatima PMA
borang and Bano have all emphasized how
over overwhelmed they were by the
tenderness that radiated from her as she
opened her arms in welcome this same
gesture would also enthrall the
Visionary of
Lipa at around 5 in the afternoon of
September 12th while saying the rosary
in the garden terine stopped in Wonder
in front of a Vine which shook violently
although there was no wind suddenly she
heard her lady's voice telling her not
to fear to kiss the Earth to obey
everything she was told and to return to
the spot for 15 consecutive days rain or
shine the next day with a prioress's
permission she returned to the garden
and after a few minutes in prayer saw
the vine move the lady appeared on a
cloud dressed in white hands clasped
over her breast and a golden Rosary
hanging from her right hand tering was
so struck by her majesty that she tried
once more to elicit an explicit response
from the lady as to her identity I asked
her with beautiful lady I said who are
you she just answered me I am your
mother and I am the mother
of my son Jesus in this Apparition and
in the others to follow Mary's messages
would continue to focus on priests and
nuns and she would stress the necessity
of prayer and Penance for for them she
explained that for many Pride was the
obstacle that barred them from returning
to the true fold and that shame had
Harden some hearts pray for them as you
have never prayed before the Sacred
Heart of my son bleeds a new for every
Fallen priest or
none this concern for the religious has
surfaced as a dominant theme of many
apparitions in other parts of the world
the third part of The Secret of Fatima
is supposed to focus on this so too have
subsequent apparitions such as those of
Garabandal
magor Akita nauka and so on on September
14th terasing found Mary waiting her
arms outstretched she looks at you like
a mother no like a mother who love is
beyond I don't know I cannot
explain every time she looks at me and
every time I see her she would like to
embrace you to make you feel that you
are loved to make you feel that uh she's
always there to help each one of us not
only I but each one of
us and it makes us also feel the need to
pray more to spend more on prayers the
virgin then ask that the place be
blessed the following day in the
presence of the community I request
tering prly relayed to the Prius who
received confirmation of this from
another interior locution so the
necessary arrangements were made the
blessing took place at 3:20 the next
afternoon the 15th of September with
Bishop avar presiding and the community
of Carmel in attendance during the
proceeding Mary appeared to teras Singh
arms again extended as if to embrace
everyone present this was the first time
m members of the community would see the
Visionary in
ecstasy Vine she was there in front of
the
community yeah in front of the Altar and
I saw her kneeling there looking only
one one position like that her eyes were
really focused on one place looking like
that during the
easy heav face
tering relates that the lady had told
her to kiss the ground and eat the grass
a request similar to that made to
bernardet at LS and she bent her head
until the ground and I don't know if she
kissed or
what I don't know how it tastes because
when I am there my attention is not on
what what I'm doing but on on on on the
person who is who who was actually
speaking to me on that afternoon the
community also witnessed For the First
Time The phenomenon of the petals
although the community had in their
Garden a few pots of small roses these
were nowhere near the quality or
quantity seen in the showers when I
stood up no there were petals during the
mass I was surprised because there were
petals in front of us on this side there
were rast pts with flowers roast petals
then also on this
side but people were wondering nobody's
moving in our place we just saw the p in
front of
us according to tering this shower was
the sign that then still skeptical monor
Oar had been praying for the prioris
then related Mary's message for the
community the Virgin asked them to
believe and to keep the apparitions a
secret until she advised otherwise then
as if prefiguring events to come she
stressed that they should love each
other as true sisters love and obey the
mother Prius and not envy teras sing for
she suffered greatly she asked them to
gather the petals make the spot sacred
venerate the grounds and giving her
maternal blessing requested that the
monastery be known as our lady's
Carmel tering returned at 5:00 the same
afternoon and again found the lady
waiting for
her I asked this from Carmel I wish that
my image be placed here this place must
be cleaned so that it may become a sh
Ryme for
prayer on the 16th of September tering
saw her lady descend from above
accompanied by little angels
then the Angels now beside her as she as
she came
down but as a lady reached the vine
terasing observed that there was a look
of sadness on Mary's face this was to be
the beginning of a series of messages
directed towards two unbelieving
nuns little one two of my daughters
refuse to believe me they dislike you
also pray for them and let no bitterness
find place in your
heart then the lady went on to request
that her image be
struck I want a statue of myself to be
made so that my little ones can see me
describe me to your chaplain because I
wish my statue to look as you see me and
to be as large as that of Our Lady of
Lords which stands inside The
Cloister months later this statue would
become the object of public scrutiny and
veneration and there would be reports of
all sorts of unusual occurrences and
supposedly miraculous events connected
with his
image this request for a statue
parallels that of the one given at rudak
the Fulfillment of which was to become
St Katherine Labor's lifelong burden
from the 17th to the 26th the Virgin
conversed at length with Tera Singh
giving her many messages some of them
for her own spiritual growth others for
the community and the outside world the
EMP is or distress
no was on humility
Simplicity pance prayers what most
needed is praying the rosary but praying
with devotion not mechanical no
meditating while praying the rosary
which very few understand Mary also
requested that she be honored on
Saturday and entrusted tering with
several secrets
