"I lost a son to suicide.
"Believe me, it is one hard thing to deal with. But I had a vision of my son with Jesus, The Divine Mercy. It happened just after his death in 2003. I was sitting on the edge on my bed getting dressed, putting on my shoes, and I had a vision of Jesus looking as He does in the image of The Divine Mercy, except for one key detail. Instead of having one hand raised in blessing and the other revealing the rays of blood and water, Jesus had His arms open.
"He was embracing my son. In the vision, my son said, 'Dad, I'm OK! I'm OK!' He was smiling.
"In prayer, later on, I heard the Lord tell me why His arms were open, and He told me in my heart, 'I was accepting your son in My arms.'"
"I thought all this was a figment of my imagination. I wasn't seeking it or asking for it. And it came out of the clear blue.
"Then, on the day of my son's funeral, as we entered the church, we saw that right above his head in the casket was an image of The Divine Mercy. I couldn't believe it. I said to my wife, 'Look, look!' There was some verification."
"My son was 38 years old."
