Heaven’s site of predilection - where Heaven meets earth

The home place of Heaven’s mission to bring to the world the Message of Holy and Divine Love

  • Blessed Mother's Invitation: “I extend My invitation to all nations to come to this site and partake of the message of Holy Love. This message is all-embracing, all-encompassing. The prodigies of grace extended here are proof and the fruits of My coming to you. I desire processions come in prayer to the Spring Heaven has given.”

    Our Lady - April 20, 1996

  • “See that often it is the effort put forth in the pilgrimage to come to the Shrine that bears much grace upon each one's arrival.”

    Jesus - July 13, 2001

  • “I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. My messenger, do you see the little bee gathering pollen from the flowering tree outside? The bee is like many and all of the pilgrims who come to the prayer site. They gather what information and graces they can from the mission.” “Like the bee who returns to the hive to make honey, the pilgrims return home, hopefully to allow the message to bear fruit in their lives. The bee does not have to fly to any other source for pollen. That tree has enough blossoms to satisfy him over and over. So too, the pilgrim can find everything he needs at this apparition site.”

    Jesus - May 3, 2001

  • “Grace abounds here. The message is the only message he need hear, because it envelops every message. At the property or through the use of the water at the many sources there present, the pilgrim will receive the illumination of conscience. He may be physically healed or receive the grace to carry his cross.”

    Jesus - May 3, 2001

  • “This prayer site is a property surrounded by grace – bordered with grace – saturated with grace. Of this, no one can explain away, rule against or in Truth, deny. While every effort has been made to prove otherwise, Heaven's grace remains – bearing witness to the source of the miracles here.”

    Jesus - June 1, 2014

  • “No other mission or apparition site has been given so much – the Protectress of the Faith Devotion; the United Hearts Revelation and the spiritual journey through the Sacred Chambers therein, which lead to My Divine Will; the Revelation and Image of Mary, Refuge of Holy Love; and at last, the Revelation of the Mournful Heart of Jesus. A myriad of Messages have been imparted to the world here, as well as miraculous waters.”

    God the Father - August 5, 2013

  • “This property – more than any other apparition site – leads the soul to his salvation.”

    God the Father - August 24, 2018

  • “This property continues to be a site of predilection for all people and all nations. There are few around the world now, as time draws on. The choicest graces pour out here. The inner recesses of My Heart open onto this property.”

    Mary, Refuge of Holy Love - February 4, 2017

  • “Come to Me here at Heaven's site of predilection and allow Me to tenderly and compassionately tend to your needs.”

Visit Maranatha Spring & Shrine

Take a look at one or both of these videos to understand why this place of Heaven’s Favor is so very special and the reason thousands of pilgrims come to experience the joy and peace found only here.

Five-Minute Overview

46-Minute Pilgrim Walk / Tour (Virtual Pilgrimage)

Maranatha Spring and Shrine, the home of Holy Love Ministries is located in Lorain County, Ohio on over 100 acres of what once was farmland. It is the home place of Heaven’s mission to bring to the world the Message of Holy and Divine Love.

This mission is organized by Holy Love Ministries, a non-profit organization.

Maranatha Spring and Shrine is a spiritual source of grace. The depth of the peace offered here at this apparition site is Heaven's witness of Blessed Mother's Presence here. It is, in effect, the seal of Heaven's approval upon this apparition. Each year, tens of thousands of visitors make a pilgrimage to this beautiful 100+ acre property in Northeastern Ohio where grace abounds.

In December of 1995, Maranatha Spring was unearthed at the back of the property under the direction of Our Lady, Who named the spring ‘Maranatha', which is Aramaic for ‘Come, Lord Jesus'.  She has revealed that the waters of Maranatha Spring are the Lourdes of this continent. They are comparable in healing grace, both in body and soul.  It is here that angels try to bring the peace of Holy Love into the soul of each pilgrim.  It is here that pilgrims receive an additional guardian angel to help them live in Holy Love.

WE WELCOME ALL PEOPLE OF ALL FAITHS. PRAYER IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

All who come in pilgrimage here are invited to join us in prayer and the peace that Heaven offers at this site. However, if you are unable to come to this beautiful Shrine, we invite you to prayerfully tour the property with us through our virtual pilgrimage (video included above), with the hope that one day we will welcome you here in person.

"There is no one who comes here that leaves without some type of healing--physical, spiritual or emotional. If they have a physical cross, it is either removed at the Spring, or they receive the grace to bear the cross of their affliction more admirably. This, in itself, is a healing. If the cross comes as an emotional affliction, the same is true. The cross is either removed or lightened."

"Therefore, let no one say, 'I came, but was not healed.' The same is true wherever Heaven meets earth--Lourdes, Fatima--all the great places of pilgrimage.”

St. Pio September 30, 2006
