Nature Tells All

By Denise M. Lenihan

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This simple, thought - provoking body of work takes you through one year in the life of the author. Her visit to Medjugorje in 2011 transformed her and taught her how to get closer to God and her fellow man.
She captures through words, Scripture, Blessed Mother quotes, quotes from some Saints and famous people, and, especially her photographs, how God speaks to us through nature
God, who is the Author of Life, has created a beautiful world- one not tied to a building or an electrical outlet. God’s mosaic of life is meant to be enjoyed and the time spent in nature will refresh you for when you need to get back indoors.
If you are looking for rest from the pressures of life, simpler times, and growth in your spiritual life, check out this book where nature has much to teach us. Come with me as God speaks to the silence of our hearts.

Lenihan is first and foremost a child of God, daughter, sister, cousin, wife, mother, aunt, friend, community member, citizen of the United States, and member of humanity who had a transformational experience during her Easter journey to Medjugorje in April 2011. From that healing experience, where the joy of her childhood was brought back to her, God awakened in her first to take photographs, which she had been doing since she was a child, and then writings on how God talks to us through nature.

Even though the Church has not given final approval of the apparitions of Medjugorje, I humbly submit to their authority.

Private revelations are allowed for the faithful as long as they don’t contradict the faith and morals of the Church’s teachings.

My opinion is the fruit of Medjugorje speaks for itself and time will tell.

PRELUDE

Have you heard? The Blessed Mother has been appearing to six children in a village called Medjugorje which is nestled between two blessed hills – Mount Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) and Mount Kriesevac (Cross Mountain). Medjugorje is part of Bosnia-Hercegovina.

The most extraordinary part of this is that the Blessed Mother first appeared to a few of the children on June 24, 1981. On June 25, 1981, she appeared to the children again, along with 2 others who were different from the original, and every day from that day on. The children are of course now grown adults, married with children of their own. Three of the now grown adults no longer receive messages every day but only at certain times of the year. The other three are still having daily apparitions.

She has been giving them messages for their parish and for the whole world as Our Lady Queen of Peace. Since that time, over 40 million people and counting have visited Medjugorje and have been transformed from their visit. Everyone comes away with special graces given to them from their dear, tender Mother.

I’ve listed a key message at the beginning of each month of this book. Everything the Blessed Mother says is important as her goal has always been to direct us to the Holy Trinity- God the Father, God - the Son, and God – the Holy Spirit. I prayed and picked the messages at
