I am now in Switzerland, in the land of eternal beauty, sitting on the edge of a forest near a field that opens to the wind and the sky. Our Lord is appearing dressed in white as our Good Shepherd, facing me sideways to the valley in the setting sun.

He is standing eloquently as our Savior and in the Triune God, our creator. His right hand is extended towards the valley. Now, a ladybug appears in his hand, nearly the size of his palm.

I did not know the meaning of this, so I asked David and Anita, who are with me and who live in Switzerland. I would not normally ask because who would think there is a meaning behind a ladybug? But it truly is a sign of confirmation of his true presence, because the ladybug has significance in Switzerland. Here, they call a ladybug a “Mariankäfer,” which signifies Our Lady, joy, blessings, and at this moment, great peace.

Thank you, Lord, for your presence in the glory of who you are, magnified. You stand before us as a statement to say, “Yes, I created all of this for the glory of my children, for the glory of love.”
