Question:
I have read some comments on this Shrine that confused me. What do you know of it? I have visited it once. Your Pilgrimage to Maranatha Spring and Shrine
Holy Love Ministries
37137 Butternut Ridge Road
Elyria, OH
And is there are rosary of the unborn? I don't see it sold in any of the religious stores.
Dear Linda:
The Holy Love Ministries is the outgrowth of the alleged visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle who claims to receive messages from the Blessed Mother on an almost daily basis since 1985.
Personally, I think that these so-called visions that last years and years are in itself suspect. But, one major clue to a serious problem here is that Maureen's visions have not been investigated by her bishop because she has not asked for guidance from her bishop. That is a major sign of a false visionary.
Private Revelations are always to be under the scrutiny of the Church. One can start an apostolate without asking the Bishop, but one cannot propose alleged message from heaven without approaching the Bishop.
Because Maureen has not approached her bishop, even 10 years after her so-called locutions began (as of the date of the letter below), I personally consider her to be a false visionary.
Below is a copy of the letter from the Diocese of Cleveland.
As for a Rosary for the unborn, you might try the website for PRIESTS FOR LIFE.
God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
