Background
The Visionary
Louis
Christropher Courtis, born on the Feast of the Epiphany, 1977,
is a member of the Ukrainian Catholic Orthodox Church. He
lives with his mother in Maryland, USA and is homebound
because of numerous health problems for which the doctors find
no cause or cure. He suffers much but is willing to do
so to “help dispel the great evils in the world today.”
Our Lady began appearing to him privately in 1995 and Our Lord
in 1997. In 2000, the apparitions became public and included
messages from God the Father, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the
archangels, and various saints. The public messages ceased in
2011 at Our Lady’s request.
During an apparition, Chris, in a state of ecstasy, saw real,
live, 3 dimensional figures, heard them audibly and repeated
their message word for word. Occasionally Chris described what
he was seeing in the apparition in his own words. The messages
were tape recorded as they are spoken, transcribed, and
reviewed by Chris’ spiritual director before being released.
Two bishops have been notified of the apparitions, but they
have given no comment or initiated any investigation.
The Prayer Meetings
In March 2000, Our Lady
asked Chris to form a prayer group to pray with her for her
intentions and where she and Jesus could appear publicly and
give their messages. He agreed and arrangements were made for
the group to meet in a private home. Thirty-one persons from
17 parishes attended that first meeting on April 13, 2000. The
subsequent meetings were held on varying schedules as seen in
the “All Messages” Index of this website http://movingheartfoundation.com/TheMessages_Index.htm.
As of December 25, 2010, the regular monthly prayer meetings
ceased at Our Lady’s request. Since 2011, the
group has been meeting each year only on April 25th, the feast
of Our Lady the Good Shepherdess, and May 25th, the feast of
Mother of Mercy. The meetings are on Zoom. See “YOU ARE
INVITED” for details of the meetings at:
