Ellen Chaksil
Ellen Chaksil is a member of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Charismatic
Prayer Group, which meets every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at St. Patrick's
Church, 1403 Jackson St., Scranton. She began receiving messages from
God in 1978. She needed to share what she experienced with church
officials. Her quest led her from her home in Northeast Pennsylvania to
the Vatican. After numerous attempts, she was able to make contact. In
1992, she met Pope John Paul II and in 1996 she received official
recognition that he had read her letter detailing the prophecy she
received from God. Ellen also contacted Boguslaw Lipinski, Ph.D of
Harvard Medical School. He provided hypothetical proof of the concept
that when people gather to pray, energy is emitted. Now Ellen's goal is
to help unite the world in prayer to generate the power great enough to
forestall catastrophe and enable humanity's continued existence. She
hopes her book will be an instrument to raise awareness of the power of
prayer.
