Jack Marie Smith is a man who has said "YES" to God with a pure heart.  More than that, he's had the great grace to unite his "Yes" with the purest heart of Our Loving Mother. For as Jack has said many times, "I go to Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of His Mother and thereby enter deeper into the Heart of Jesus than ever possible on my own." Jack’s experiences are meant to be nothing more and nothing less than a testimony to this truth.  

This is one man and his family's witness that is but one echo of the many personal witnesses that make up the Conyers story. It is a story of God's tremendous love for us and the role of His Mother in the economy of salvation.  Our Loving Mother, whose Immaculate Heart beats as one with the Sacred Heart of her Son, invites us to unite our hearts with hers and to consecrate our hearts to her so that she may present us to her Son united with her own heart.

The rosary is Jack's constant companion even while he is sleeping and he is always exhorting us all to pray the fifteen decade Rosary daily. The rosary, the rosary, always the rosary - he is telling us, it's the short, sure way to Jesus. It enhances our souls to partake more fully in all of the sacraments. When you read of his heavenly trips and Mother's rosaries, you will appreciate more fully the message he brings.

Jack's motto is "I don't place any expectations on the day other than, getting to Mass and receiving Jesus in the Eucharist.  I stay centered on Jesus and keep Him in my whole day so that no matter what happens, it's OK, because Jesus is with us."  This, I think, sums up his philosophy and the message he brings. The best way to cooperate with God is to come without expectations, and offer ourselves to Him through Mary, saying, "Whatever you want Jesus, so be it, no matter what our state of life is."

How did all this come about? It started very simply!  Jack's sister Karen told him about the apparitions in Conyers, Georgia. Inspired by his memory of Our Lady of Fatima, he was convinced that if the Blessed Mother was in Conyers then that's where he would be. Jack's call is different than most. When he uttered his "Yes" that day in Conyers, he was on extended vacation, planning to take the year off to travel and do some personal things, so his state of life was in neutral. He had both the time and the money. That first year began in May of 1990.  

Jack has never returned to work.  He lives by faith.  His financial resources have been exhausted for some time.  He does this to be available.  On many occasions, he has spent time in prison defending the unborn and is always available for prayer in hospitals, jails, or wherever called upon.  What is his is yours.  From time to time he has come under criticism for not holding a regular job.  This never bothers him.  He says attacks are always a good test as to where you are with Jesus.  Can you love the attacker?  Can you forgive the attack?  If the answers are yes - you're on the right track.  It must be noted that Jack's family never wants for anything although they are always stretched out financially to the point that if they were to miss a payment they would lose their home, their auto or whatever.  Despite this there is peace and harmony in his home.

He says everything works right because first my wife loves Jesus then she loves me and the family. Everything else can wait! In this unity there is real strength and sense of direction. We cannot have this type of unity if we start to think we're doing anything. As soon as we begin to think like that we get in the way of God's plan. That is why Jack is always saying, "The important thing is to stay little. The moment I think I'm doing something myself I'm in trouble. Just as we have nothing to do with our existence, so we cannot give life to anything we do on this earth by ourselves. I did not set out to have a healing apostolate and write a book. In a thousand years this would never happen, no matter how hard I worked or prayed. I would never in my wildest imagination picture myself living like this, doing what I do day after day if it were not for God's great mercy and the powerful intercession of Our Loving Mother."

The intention and purpose of this web site is to give an accurate account of my personal experiences with Jesus and Our Loving Mother as an encouragement and inspiration to all who visit.
