Hello, today I wanted to present to you my second vision/ Vivid Dream that I had back over two years ago. I will draw the canvas through the Holy Spirit and tell you in exact detail what I told Father right after this blessed event took place back over two years ago.
Okay, here we go…..
Back to the day in May 2012, I had been diagnosed with the inoperable brain cancer. I was feeling so tired I honestly did not really care if I passed away or not. I know it sounds strange. Obviously, I want to live as long as possible to be present for my wife, kids, dad and family. But I was feeling a fatigue that I could never fully describe. Also, God put me into such a peaceful state that I was not and am not worrying about it.
Well, that day I was sitting down in my family room and just wanted to go upstairs. My bedroom is a place of real serenity,(truely a prayer room) It has skylights, a door out and large window that look out into my rear yard. I have a massive Beech tree with a 12 foot trunk. It has a massive canopie of leaves. God’s masterpiece. In my prayer/ bedroom I can see God and connect with him through his stars at night just by looking up through the glass in the sky lights. At night, The beech tree is constantly moving in the air and looks so majestic. If you have seen the picture Jesus Wept, I can envision him in that moment and can relate to his agony to a certain degree, I could never have done what the Lord had done for us all. That, I do know.
I told one of my kids, I need to go up and lie down and made my way upstairs with one of my kids. I was fully dressed and layed on the bed. I was on my side looking out the window it was a windy day and the tree branches were swaying. I was praying and said, God, I am so tired. How can I take care of my family? I was not crying I was just asking. I was too exhausted for emotion. I drifted off to sleep and the next thing that happened was this. It is a message for all of us! He loves us all so much 🙂
I was suddenly laying in a small boat, It did not have a sail. I was laying on my left side in the center of this small boat and I could hear water lapping off the side of the boat. I was again laying on my side so my right eye was able to see over the top edge of the boat and off into the distance. I heard in my head the word, Galilee. It was a male voice and was deep, soothing, and a little dragged out. I felt such exhaustion yet so peaceful laying there and was just listening to the lapping water, again, so peaceful. I saw on the distant shore a stone ruins coming up and it had green vines climbing it. I could see off white and white stone the slabs that the wall had been made from. I then noticed trees above the stone ruins. along the ridge. The trees were unlike anything that I had ever seen. My eyes now looked above and notices a pretty blue-ish sky with little birds flying around. It looked like a sky we would see here.
I could not move due to the fact that I was so weak, I remember so vividly that I decided to try and look in front of me all the while I was thinking, what am I going to do to help my family? Again, it was not desperation, just quiet surrender I guess. I managed to turn my neck upward a bit and caught the view of two legs and feet in sandels, The man was sitting sideways but looking ahead of the boat. So, I worked very hard to turn my neck further yet to see more. I saw that this man was wearing a robe and it was very heavy looking, heavy texture with beige, white and gray looking fibers like from a lambs coat. I just remember straining my neck forward further and I saw that the man was looking forward away from me. His hood was on. He had dark hair, with a reddish color to it ( maybe the sun effect ?) and it was blowing back in the breeze. He then turned his head to the right showing me the profile of his rugged tanned face.
I then got this message in the silence of my mind yet they were words again, a gentle authoratative male voice. Do not worry, God created you, He knows the ending. I felt such peace I remember that I put my head down and was resting my neck. We just drifted along in this boat and it was so beautiful, once again I decided I need to look again so I turned my neck once again passed the tanned medeterranean feet and legs up the coat to the gentleman again he was still looking to the right and then he turned directly to me and smiled. It was Jesus Christ ! As, I sit here The Holy Spirit is leaping inside me .
When Jesus Christ looked at me as I said to Fr. so long ago, His smile was the most beautiful smile, his skin was that of a fisherman from all the sun, his beard and hair where different colors dark black with red tone mixed in. When he smiles his peircing blue eye’s exploded this feeling of love in to me that I will never be able to ever accurately depict. Just know one thing, this is awaiting all of us when we met our Lord 🙂
I awoke when my wife came in to the bedroom to let me know that she had soup for me to eat. I told my wife and the next person I spoke to was Fr. R. I made my way down to the rectory shorty after this miraculous event for confession and to speak with Father. I sat on the chair and said to Father, I want to tell you about a Dream/ Vision that I had and as I began to recount the experience that is detailed above, God filled that room and our Spirits with so much joy that I exploded from the love and was crying so deeply! I could not sit up straight. When I looked up Father was crying a bit too and said, Danny this a very special and rare gift that God has given you.
You see, I am, at my heart a very square conventional person, if you know what I mean. Anything extraordinary that I achieve is through the Holy Spirit.
Getting myself to understand that God would use me to write for his church, write for his people would not be something that I could easily accept. I was not worthy.
Father said, God is confirming that you are doing all they he wants. It was a gift !
I will say this,
Thank you God for telling me otherwise, I really think that I would have perrished from the thought of being disraspectlful to my God and My Lord Amen.
Thank you God for loving us so much. And anyone that might read this, just trust and know that if you are doing good that you feel God is compelling you to. Just pray and do it in the glory of God and he will know !! He will bless you for it as well.
In Gods Love,
Danny

I would like to attempt on this blog today to bring up a point. I don’t know all , and do not think for a moment that I do. I got a call late morning from my Friend P ,the deacon from .N.Y this was on Tuesday morning. He said that he was inflight arriving in Boston on business and wanted to visit for an hour or so. He arrived and we went to a local diner for lunch. God was up to something once again. We had lunch and during that time I discussed this blog with him. I explained to him that It was in fact work and due to all my prayer the Spirit is spilling out so much so quickly. Only God knows why.
I will tell you what God had up his sleeve( in one moment ), it was very funny. God’s having a lot of fun with me lately. LOL
But first let me get back on point. I have been reminded so many times during prayer that we are all one, under God. Many Churches, many Faiths. I am not a theologian. I just know to me, that we are one through Christ Jesus.
I have heard remarks over the many years that I have lived that some people are not believers or of the same practicing religion etc. My feeling is, that’s okay. That is their personal opinion. Perhaps God has not broken through to them as of yet so they too can believe. We can all be stubborn during our lifes journey. It is easier to go with the flow than to follow Christ. We live without conscience on so many levels. We live unconvicted so we do what ever we want to do and it is great. But, it is not. It is not for us to judge others either. We need to just live a life that they will see something in us and wonder , What is it that He or She has ? You want them to see in you what might heal their lives.( God) Remember, with every person we help only God knows how many more people that they may help.
None of us is holier that thou! ( found this on the web)
When a person has taken the moral high-ground or are just up themselves, they are being “Holier-than-thou”. Holier-than-thou literally means, holier than me or better than me.
Just because I made one stupid mistake doesnt mean Britney gets to give me this holier-than-thou attitude!
by Dani October 28, 2005
There are many reasons why there are so many churches, and my explanation of why would not be substantial enough or 100 % correct.
I will say this though, the church that God built, his church, was upon his Apostle Peter.The first Pope. The church was filled with people just like us. When you have lots of people in any group religious and otherwise, there will differences of opinions, in fighting, different interpretations of the bible etc. Feelings get hurt , ego’s get hurt and in this case the church fragmented and new churches came to be. The orginal church, my church has continued to Spread the Gospel. And help so many. All these churches are following the leader Christ/ God. But we as Christians are acting like they are on opposing teams. It is very silly.
For me, I am faithful to my God and love my church, that is how I was raised and rediscovered for myself later on personally my love of the Catholic Church and its sacraments. I then shared that joy with my family and anyone that I possibly could. I do not care if some one is from a different faith or walk. We do not need to hip check other Christians or anyone else for that matter into the boards. It’s not a game, it’s life.
I spoke at great length recently to a friend who has had very deverse thoughts on all faiths and I thought it was refreshing.
Our conversation stemmed out of conversations based in the news. Persecutions of Christians, not being allowed to live their faith. They need to convert their faith to another, pay a fee or be murdered. Sometimes both anyway.
Everyone, has their God given right, to be who they were born to be and to seek and find their God through what ever faith gets them there. In my personal belief due to my upbring, that it is through Jesus Christ that is how we get to our Father, God.
I can see the writing on the wall here as well in this country. God is being pulled from the culture and the bedrock is shifting. .We better stick together as Christians because if we don’t, before long we may be facing the same fate as other Christians world wide.. Remember, we are part of a flock not part of a gang. Evil is on the prowl. And the sheep of the flock are running around not paying attention.
So, in conclusion, My friend P took me to my schedules PT appt after lunch. He walked in with me into the office. I wanted to introduce him to my PT staff. He is in the medical field also. I told P you may see V here today too, he is a deacon also 🙂
We walked in and he met everyone, and P saw V they knew eachother and immediately engaged in conversation. They were exchanging information about others and ministry stuff.
Meanwhile, I stood at the glass window of reception and my pt therapist was like hi and smiled you do not have an appointment today and laughed. I stood there and knew God wanted these two men P and V to meet today, that is part of why he came from NY to my PT appt, only God could do this. Paul had business but God added my pt visit to his agenda. God wanted P and V to meet for his reason.:)
I came right home grabbed my calander and realized that I was looking at next Tuesdays date by accident. God is awesome. it was a great day.
God Bless You All !

Video below :
I really like Joyce a lot, I spent alot of time trying to find God early on in my life, I saw her years ago then moved on. I told Father I think that she is really good. When I became ill with Glio Blastoma , I was stuck here in my chair for along time. I rediscovered Joyce again and she really helped me to make it through this life situation too. I love who she is and what she does. It is God.
Joyce Meyers, God’s Love
Please watch ! She even mentions psalm #139, no coincidence. God’s talking. Amen!

I will not get into my day yesterday, in too much depth . Let me just say this. We are Blessed with so much. Through connections that only God can create. My story made its way through different health professionals and lay people prior to even starting this blog. It culminated with my being picked up at my home by a new friend that I knew only by voice. C, and she took me to Dana Farber because a very dear of friend of hers has been diagnosed with Glio Blastoma , brain cancer and she asked me to support her. My Dr. R, as God would have it is treating her/ my new friend as well. A is a very lovely lady with a beautiful family to support her.
God is connecting all the dots all the time. Connecting us all in a web of Mercy with relationship to oneanother. When I was not with A today while she had her scan etc, I found myself just sitting there. I thought to myself what are you doing? I began to pray for her and every person that crossed my path. I asked God to heal them from Cancer and all these deseases.
Sometimes we feel powerless, blue and like life is a non stop stuggle but I will tell you one thing. We are all so powerful because of our prayers. God answers everyone one of them. Life is once again in control. We have hope.
The woman today, A. her daughter C, and friend C were so lovely, I had never met anyone of them in person prior to today. But that is God for you ! They were all wonderful. I even had the pleasure of speaking to A’s husband on the phone for quite a while. What a wonderful man.
So in closing keep looking up and look for the opportunities that God sends you. In my responding to a request to support another human being, I was the one who was truely Blessed.
God Bless You,
Danny

The doctors were informed that I had an incident in Radiation with the equipment malfunction and left the room quickly, I had said to the doctors that I was okay and could see from my left eye again. Although, like I said to my wife, brother and the few who have heard about this account over the last year or so .I had to complain 🙂 I said hey God, my vision returned in my left eye to what it was before I was blinded, you think that you would make it perfect when vision was restored.:) I have told you before God must be rolling his eyes all the time over me. LOL Father said that God has a sense of humor , So, I choose to believe him 🙂
Going home in the car my wife was like, Danny we need to know what happened, my brother tried to just say it would be a good thing to know even for others. My feeling was at that time, Its fine, it happened and it is over. They know how firmly God has placed me into a peace that is not of this world. In my mind I hear all ll the time like a whisper. “Be Still and Know, I Am God”. So, I understand why people have a hard time understanding me. But ,know in their hearts it is true. So that night was filled with every living family member of my family calling me to say Dan, you have to ask them what happened. My brother B and my wife were taking me the next day for treatment.
We got up the next morning, my brother was in our driveway here at around 5:30a.m. as usual. And off we went to Dana Farber, we went to the radiology unit at Brigham and Williams, that is where my radiation treatment was done, and checked in. My wife said again, Dan find out what happened when you go in. Bob said the same thing. They were ganging up 🙂 lol
Just kidding, again no one was wrong in their comments that I should find out what happened. I just announced to them it is not about me everything is happening as it should. I just had peace. You will see and read why shortly. I was the only one allowed in the radiology treatment area so the staff came and got me again the Spirit was right their to great them. Big smile as always, I gave the staff my as I called it my golden ticket like Willy Wonda, it was a red card actually that would allow my program to run on the radiation equipment. They took me to the treatment vault by the massive solid door and rolled me around the corner in view was the treatment bed and the 3 or so staff members that were normally there. They all greated me with smiles as normal. No one mentioned the day befores event. And what the Holy Spirit did in this moment was just astounding. When I say in my writings that I am merely a passenger on the bus watching God work his Miracles it is very true! I am so serious about that fact, and it is not because of me, I am, just me. God used what the devil was attempting to do to me which was to silence me so that I could not continue my ministry and giving Gods good news. God can do anthing! It as plain as day to me. And when God wants me and my witness for him is done. I will be taken to him. I will then be judged too for my shortcomings. Just a plain and simple fact of life.
So anyways, I am sitting in my wheelchair facing all of these people. There was a new face that I never seen standing there before. In a second, God took over and The Holy Spirit emerged. Out of my mouth came. Hello, to the new worman in the lab coat , This is the Holy Spirit everyone in the room was polarized and staring at me. I saw tears in the eyes of the believers that had been treating me over the last 5 or so weeks daily. He said you are in charge of the equipment correct? She said yes. The Holy Spirit said then you know what happened to Dan yesterday when the equipment malfunctioned and he was blinded in his left eye. She was so stunned, He said Dans doctors came right down to check the equipment to see what happened, again she said yes. The final question he asked was this, Dan should not be able to see with the amount of radation that he received is this true, he is a miracle she hesitated, he said, it is true isn’t it? She said yes, I saw the faithful in the room just totally wrapped up in Gods amazement and glory.
There was a young person working in that room as well that was an intern finishing up her studies in college. Everyday during my treatment she was generally there. Her name was L and she reminded me of my daughters very sweet. Everyday when my treatment was done before I left the vault as I call it. They would grab my treatment card and hand it to me. Then, away they would take me to my family in the wheelchair. Well everyday, I would say, God Bless You as I was leaving that area and I could tell she hated it, never said a word to me but she would turn away.
Well, God healed this situation in about 10 seconds one of the most breathe taking things I have ever witnessed and guess what it was not about me, all of the radiation staff were still there including the women responsible for the machine. God established that I was a Miracle and then turned directly towards the young lady L. I felt the Holy Spirit through me lock eyes with her and God reached out with such love,
L you are not a believer. Just a simple loving statement made by a father, she responded softly yes, I do. Again, God through the Holy Spirit was talking to her with such love all the faces in the room were locked on my eyes. God said, you don’t and thats okay. Dan tells you everyday, God Bless You and that is only because he is thankful to you for your helping him. With that her face lit up and you could see joy. Hear heart melted and her presence was light and she now believed in God. This is only the tip of the iceberg on what God is doing in this time through many people. Love heals, truth breaks deception, God triumphs over everything with Love. He is the just Judge. He knows all, like psalm #139 say’s We cannot hide from him, he knew that in this second before I ever came to be that I would be declaring his victory. His God News! today right now ! And, you would be here reading it. We are all connected.
I then layed on the treatment table and was strapped in. I had no concern based on what happened the day before, I had my job and that was to offer up everything for whatever God wanted. It was simple. Treatment went well and I as always felt great and thankful.
The Bottom Line :
You see my appointment with my doctor that was scheduled for the day before was switched to the day of the incident. So, God new that in that day this malfunction would happen, he also knew that I would be seeing my doctor on that afternoon. He also knew that L would be in my treatment room as a student and witnessing the whole thing. And, then the next day God declared Victory to the staff in Radiology that I was a Miracle building all of their faith. He then turned around and saved L. right before our eyes. She saw the truth, so her eyes open to Heaven and God. As the bible says the Scales fell from her eyes. If that’s not magnificent then, what is? God handles everyone of our lives everday, I am having a hard time with typing and dictating so, you know where I stand. 🙂
By the way L’s last day as a student ended on my last day of threatments in June 2012.No coincidence either. She always said God Bless Me with a big smile on her face, she rolled me out of the room that day and hugged me. I introduced her to my wife and brother and my doctor was in his office so, the fog horn(me) opened my mouth and I yelled hey Dr. A. LOl He came out and greeted me, what a great guy! 🙂 I said, L here is finishing her studies when she comes for a job please help her out, she’s great !They all laughed. I often wonder how she is. Like the bible say’s, Jesus will go after the one lost sheep to protect it. And, he did 🙂 Also, I cannot imagine the wonderful things that L will do in her life. Just beautiful. Amen !
God Bless You All,
Danny

I had a wonderful client some years ago, He had what you would imagine you wanted financially in life but he lacked one more important thing, he had a very bad heart disease. He was so kind, he had a lovely wife and little dog FiFi, and small white poodle. It was his baby wheras they were unable to have children.
Paul was in his 40’s when he woke up in the middle of the night soaking wet in the middle of a heart attack. His heart was so badly damaged that he could not be helped. He was now permanently disabled. It was very difficult for him and was warned to stay calm. He was a man of faith, and was a real a gentleman. A man who would shake hands and make eye contact with you, that type of guy. I know he was suffering from pains in his chest all the time but had to except it and keep living. Again, an inspiration to me. A brick in my foundation.
I remember, talking to Paul about life and stuff but I only pray that I was able to help him. I was so young and I am not sure that I was that great of a witness. I just know that he was a loving and kind man Good to his , wife, mom and dad who were quite elderly too.
Paul was away with his wife mom and dad and stepped out to pick up pizza after a while he had not returned they went out and found him lieing beside his car he had gone out and collapsed. I remember his wife calling me and I visited her and Pauls parents to offer my condolences. Going back to my writing on losing something Sacred , the loss of a child . Pauls mom and dad were devestated, this was there baby that was lost.
We need to validate those we love and let them know daily. I remember these beautiful people and also know that they are with God.
I bet Paul loved this song, To Paul.

Back some years ago I was working in a home of a lovely couple in their late 70’s. He was a barber his entire life after getting out of the service, and she was a wonderful homemaker who raised her beautiful family. She at the time was worried that her home would not be completed before Easter. I assured her there was no problem. During that time, there were no cell phones so I needed to answer a page that I received. They had one phone in their house located in the kitchen to use. So, I asked to use her phone she said of course. So, I called my wife and I must have answered a question about birthday plans, she heard the conversation. I hung up and just said thank you for the use of her phone she was in another room. She apparently pulled my brother B asside when he walked by the room and Bob told her yes my bithday was tomorrow. The next day as we were working , they called me into the kitchen and had a italian rum cake from a bakery with candles lit and sang Happy Birthday to me with my brother joining in.. Now, is that a God moment or what ?
God bless the Maraglia’s they were angels on Earth. Salt of the Earth.

I would like to remember someone wonderful that graced my presence years ago. A wonderful client that touched my heart.
I will start with Mrs. Genese
I had a client around 30 years ago that hired my brother B and I to do some decorating in her home. She had to have been around 90 at the time. She was an adorable old Italian women wearing her little cotten flower dress with a small lace apron over it. She had one leg shorter than the other, so one shoe was taller than the other. My brother and I were working and she appeared and said to come in to the kitchen. She had very broken english. We walked in and she said sit down. On the table was fine china cups with coffee and homemade biscotti. She would not take no for an answer. It was a moment that I will never forget. She stood there with her hands clasped and smiling. She was relishing the moment of us enjoying her service and delicious cookies. That was one of lesson that we learned early on in life by my parents. It was instilled in us how valuable our seniors are and should never be forgotten. I guarantee you that she did not feel 90 either she was maintaing her home like she probably had been doing for 50 or 60 years at that point. God is good. Amen.
God Bless Her lovely Soul.
In memory of Mrs. Genese A song from her generation.
