Gianna Talone Sullivan was born, the youngest of three children, on March 12, 1957, in Phoenix, Arizona, to parents of Italian descent. Her early childhood was filled with both love and rejection, material comfort as well as subsequent material need, and an early childhood show business career. She later attended Arizona State University and the University of Southern California, completing her Doctor of Pharmacy degree and then opting to pursue a corporate pharmacy career. By 1987 she was very much caught up in the attractions of the “world”, when much to her surprise she was invited to begin a new journey, a journey of fulfilling God’s Will in a special role as a messenger to the world for Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Our Blessed Mother, the Child Jesus and God the Father. This journey has been fueled by daily Mass and Holy Communion and prayer, especially the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Since those early mystical experiences with Our Lord and Our Lady, Gianna is a clinical pharmacist, and she is the mother to Anne Marie Sullivan. She is the Foundress of the Mission of Mercy mobile healthcare program, the Foundress of the Jesus of Mercy Lay Community, and the United States representative for the worldwide Armata Bianca apostolate, which promotes the Fatima message to the children of the world.

Beginning in July 1988, Gianna received the weekly public MESSAGES to the world from Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and lessons from Our Lord Jesus Christ. She has recieved over 3000 messages and 250 lessons. These earlier MESSAGES and all the LESSONS have been recorded in all 6 volumes of I am your Jesus of Mercy through January 21, 1999. These public messages were received during apparitions of Our Lady to Gianna at the weekly public Marian prayer group, first at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, and then from November 1993, through September 7, 2000, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Emmitsburg, Maryland. It was during this time that Our Lady referred to herself as “Our Lady of Emmitsburg” and entitled the Emmitsburg area as the “Center of my Immaculate Heart.” Over 100,000 pilgrims attended the Thursday night prayer group services from over 135 countries.

Following the discontinuation of the weekly Marian prayer group in September 2000, Our Lady of Emmitsburg remained publicly silent for nearly 2 years, although she privately continued to appear and speak with Gianna. Then, on August 5, 2002, Our Lady began again her monthly MESSAGE to the world. Since that time, they have been disseminated to the world via the internet, but not published as of yet in a volume. There are a total of nearly 3000 public MESSAGES from Our Lady of Emmitsburg to the world.

These LESSONS are available through Queenship Publishing Company in Volumes I through VI of the I am your Jesus of Mercy** book series. In addition, all the MESSAGES received since Gianna and her family moved to Emmitsburg, MD, in November 1993, are archived on the CenterOfTheImmaculateHeart.org, and the most recent ones are posted on this website OurLadyOfEmmitsburg.com.
