Alan Ames

Description

A few years later Alan was beginning to hear voices that urged him to drink and fight. Confused, and mindful of being labeled 'mad' if he openly complained, Alan kept this to himself. The pressure eventually got to him and he found himself joining bad company and picking up his old habits of drinking and fighting. Some months went by and Alan was now beginning to have nightmares that kept him awake at night. Kathryn was very concerned with his behavior and suggested he see a priest. However, not having been a regular church goer, Alan did not take up this suggestion. In his quest for a solution Alan found himself going to various 'healers', but could see that they were swindling many out of their belongings. This experience gave Alan an insight into the traps that lie in wait for the unwary. It was an angel who eventually spoke and guided Alan in the right direction. Further assistance came from St.Teresa of Avila and the Apostles Andrew and Matthew. They taught him how to pray and explained the Scriptures. Some months later, after coming back to the Sacraments, Alan had his first vision of Our Blessed Mother. She appeared revealing Her Immaculate Heart. The visits of Our Lady to Alan continued as he endeavored, with encouragement, to lead a life of prayer. He was now attending Mass daily and reciting the rosary up to nine times a day.
