Paranormal Fiction | Spiritual Warfare | Our Catholic Faith

About Me

My name is Barbara Graver. I’m a Catholic writer, publication designer and mom to three grown up sons (and one wild but lovable Border Collie).

I enjoy reading, writing, design, flea market shopping, movies, blogging, podcasting, walking, photography and hanging out with my family. I collect books, rosaries and vintage religious items.

I’m currently working on two books – my first Catholic-friendly vampire novel and my testimony about my experience in the New Age and occult and why I returned to my Catholic Faith.

I studied commercial art at our local community college and have a BS in Nursing from Misericordia University.

I’m a member of an SSPX Roman Catholic Chapel, the Catholic Writers Guild and am currently in formation with the Opus Angelorum.

I was deeply involved in the New Age and occult before coming back to the Church and have shared on that topic both in my blog and on YouTube. My podcast, Angels Beside Us, includes my testimony (episodes 1 & 2) and shares much of what I’m learning about God’sholy angels.

More on My Upcoming eBooks

I’m currently working on my personal testimony, Angels of Light and Dark and my first Catholic friendly paranormal novel, Trancing Miranda. There is also a condensed form of my testimony, here on this website and a standaline article on the paranormal. To get my testimony as a free PDF download please click here. The full version of my testimony should be available by the end of the year. For more on my books please visit my ebooks page.

The Seven Sorrows Rosary is a wonderful Lenten dev The Seven Sorrows Rosary is a wonderful Lenten devotion!

The Seven Sorrows which Pierced Our Lady’s Heart.

1. The Prophecy of Saint Simeon. (Luke 2:34–35)

2. The escape and Flight into Egypt. (Matthew 2:13)

3. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem (Luke 2:43–45)

4. The Meeting of Mary and Jesus on the Via Dolorosa.

5. The Crucifixion of Jesus on Mount Calvary. (John 19:25)

6. The Piercing of the Side of Jesus, and His Descent from the Cross. (Matthew 27:57–59)

7. The Burial of Jesus by Joseph of Arimathea. (John 19:40–42)

Not only do we get to unite our sufferings and sorrows to Our Lady of Sorrows, we are also promised 7 Graces:

According to St Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373), there are Seven Graces of this devotion.

1. I will grant peace to their families.

2. I will be enlightened about the Divine mysteries.

3. I will console them in their pains, and I will accompany them in their work.

4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.

5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy, and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.

6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother.

7. I have obtained this Grace from my Divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
