Hello Kitty, I had the privilege of meeting you at a Marian conference in CA several years ago. I bought two of your CD’s. My mother was hospitalized in February for a week. She feared hospitals and doctors her entire life. She had pneumonia and congestive heart failure. I brought her one of your Cd’s […]

Kitty, We loved your concert at St. Dominic last month. My husband and I felt so moved by your ministry and music. I could not hold back my tears. It brought an amazing calm to me and softened my view of everything. I feel as though I am here on earth to help as much […]

Kitty, I feel so more than blessed to now have your CDs. I treasure your voice and the songs as well as the outstanding musicians who accompany you. Is the beautiful rosary pictured inside your Miracle of Divine Mercy CD available and affordable?

Dear Kitty, I just had to write and thank you so much for being there for all of us at the Women’s Day at St. Luke. You sound even more beautiful in person. I am so glad I purchased your “Be Not Afraid” CD. “Fragrance Prayer” really brings the Holy Spirit into my heart as […]

The Miraculous Image of Our Lady of Good Counsel

April 26, 2017; Several years ago, I sought spiritual direction from a priest in New Orleans who happens to have many mystical gifts. When I walked into the room, he said, “I see Our Lady of Good Counsel with you.” This is a centuries-old title for the Blessed Virgin Mary with a miraculous image associated with it.

I was unfamiliar with the image, but when I returned home I realized that the icon hanging in my bedroom, which had been brought to me by my sister Caroline as a souvenir from Italy, was indeed Our Lady of Good Counsel.

Shortly thereafter, I gave a concert in Pensacola, FL. A delightful woman named Sara Edwards gifted me with a beautiful blue pearl and crystal necklace that she had made for me. Sara said that she usually adds a medal of St. Therese, but something told her that I needed Our Lady of Good Counsel! I think she was trying to get my attention. As my friend Katsey put it, Our Lady was just letting me know that she’s always here for me.

And then in September of 2018, I needed a birthday gift for a special friend, and I wanted it to be meaningful to her. As I prayed to Mother Mary for guidance, I instantly saw an image of Our Lady of Good Counsel in watercolor, a medium I don’t work in. After digging around in my daughter’s art supplies, I found what I needed and began to draw with watercolor pencils. I held my breath when I had to add the water, but it revealed a sweetness and tenderness that I came to love.  My friend appreciated the gift, and then it ended up on the cover of Religious Life Magazine, which is sent to 2500 religious and every bishop in the U.S.  They received it right before their general counsel to discuss the scandals caused by clergy in the Catholic Church–perfect timing for Our Lady of Good Counsel to land in their chanceries!

Today is the feast day of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Do you need some wise, loving advice from your heavenly mother? Turn to her. She is always, always waiting for you.
