Where Lorrie's Angels can be found.

Where the Angels have found a home is as diverse as the world we live in – from being gifted to Prince Charles at a dinner in Scotland to the inmate on death row Texas the Angels are comfortable wherever they find themselves.

They can be found in several hospitals like the cancer ward of St Vincents Dublin to the cancer unit of the National Childrens unit in Crumlin Dublin.

The Angel of Balance was bought by a doctor whose work involves treating patients with personality disorders. They are to be found in nursing homes and maternity wards. We get several letters from people in prison who have received cards from family and loved ones.

Some people collect the angels for their home, while others make a room or corner and prepare a special sanctuary for themselves. They decorate nurseries and children's bedrooms. We have even been asked for permission to use as a tattoo..

They have been gifted in celebration of birth, christening, engagement,religious and non religious celebrations, weddings- they cross the religious divide. They are gifted as a gesture of support during times of illness and during times of sadness and after the passing of a loved one.

They have been taken to the rain forests of the Amazon and to the sacred sights around the world. Many have told us they always carry an angel bookmark on their travels as it brings them comfort. They can be found in therapy rooms, meditation centers and clinics across the globe.

The stories we receive and hear often make you cry but there are times to laugh as well, like when we were contacted by the London Met who were trying to apprehend an escaped fraudster. We received a phone call that a South American man was being sought by the Met and he had in his possession a Lorrie's Angels bookmark The Angel of Balance and the detective in question felt that he may pass our way as he had an interest in our work. Frankly we thought we were being wound up until that evening on the six o clock news we read that he had been apprehended in Dublin city having bought almost 100,000 euro of goods on the high street using false credit cards that he had stolen earlier from a top hotel.

So as you can see - the angels have a way of touching people no matter who or what they are.

The child and the sceptic

One afternoon a mother and daughter came to visit the Angel Sanctuary. I really didn’t think they would be very long, as the little girl was no more than five years. A good time later I was somewhat surprised to see the little girl still sitting quietly in front of the one of the Angels.

As we find everyone has a story, and the little girls mammy related hers to me; the door to the Sanctuary burst open and a woman entered .Straight away she announced that she did not believe in a God or the Angels, but she had come out of curiosity and a willingness to search. With that the little girl called to her mammy. Saying “Mammy the Angel is talking to me.” Her mammy asked what the angel was saying. The little girl replied “ well I asked the angel, I asked that granny will not die.” Her mum enquired what the angel said;. “ The Angel told me that granny will never die as she will always be remembered in my heart and in the hearts of all who love her.” With that the lady on hearing what the little girl had to say, broke down and went to sit at one of the Angels.

This simply showed how God and the Angels work. The words the child spoke were certainly not of a four year old and the timing was meant for the lady who was so full of doubt. What a beautiful message the lady had been brought.

The Angel of Passage and the man from Scotland

It was a beautiful sunny, summer’s day when John and his wife Ruth from Scotland found themselves in the Angel Sanctuary. I introduced them to the story and left them to spend time alone in the Sanctuary.

They had left when I returned some time later.

The following day Ruth called back and asked to speak to me.

"You know", she said, "When we were back in our hotel room, my husband John for the first time ever told me how during the war he was saved by an Angel. In all our years together he had never shared this with me or anyone else for that matter. I was simply stunned.

When we stepped into the Sanctuary yesterday and walked over to the Angel of Passage, John shared with me that he had a very beautiful and overwhelming experience which brought him back to his experience during the war when he believed an Angel saved his life. He believed the Angel had returned to touch him once again through the Angel of Passage." Ruth said, "I just had to come back and tell you his story and do you know she said. After sharing his beautiful experience with me for the first time he also told me how much he loved me which he hadn’t done in a very long time. I am so happy she said as she left!"
