Ivan Dragicevic
"The apparitions have made a big difference in my life - the difference between heaven and earth. For example, I arrange my day now so that even during the day I find time to pray. Before, my life had no meaning. Now, I'm filled with inner contentment. The first time I saw Our Lady, a change occurred in my soul, and in my heart. Before, I often avoided prayer, but now the difference is so great, I really can't describe it. I'm no longer sorry that Our Lady revealed my future. I'm confident and not afraid, because I know who leads me, and therefore, I'm not afraid of death. People in our parish, and all people, should feel that way." - Ivan Dragicevic
Colleen Willard
Journey with her as she shares the unfolding of events that led to her complete surrender to God's Will. Hear how the family came to deal with the pain of bearing the heart wrenching news of the diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumor. Listen to their struggle of seeing her becoming immobile and deteriorating from the vibrant wife and mother they once knew.
From that news, Colleen laid in her hospital bed at home thinking of all the things she would leave behind for her loved ones, and she was inspired to see a gift right in front of her that would have even more value and last for all eternity - the Gift of Prayer. Her surrender and acceptance of the Cross with Jesus brought her to experience a deep peace and joy within, that even as her health deteriorated, her soul could no longer ask for anything else but His Will.
Listen to her share all of the reactions of her sons seeing a mother returning in an 'upright' position, talking freely, breathing and embracing them without pain! Laugh with her over the joyous reunion with her physicians and team of doctors who were managing her care and their reactions to her healing! It is a story that will astonish even those who do not believe in miracles!

God the Father asked our Foundress, Sister Margaret Catherine Sims, CSJ to build a Spiritual Life Center. Sister Margaret received the grace through prayer with the aide of Maria Esperanza, her spiritual mother to search and find the land that was to become known as Betania II, composed of 109 acres.
