symbol of his grandmother’s deep faith, as she had spent countless
hours in prayer with these keys attached to the gold cross.

The profound significance of these keys is echoed in
Matthew 16:19: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven;
whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Through this passage,
Keith understood the spiritual power and responsibility symbolized
by the keys, further deepening his resolve to fulfill God's divine
plan.

Fourth Sign from God: JPII Identical Monstrance

Keith was moved by a divine promise placed in his heart,
which led him to acquire a monstrance for his altar in 2008. This
sacred monstrance has been a constant reminder of God's
presence and the assurance that the truth will be restored to all
nations, fulfilling God's promise.

In alignment with God’s will, Keith gifted the monstrance to
Bishop Kevin W. Vann as a Father’s Day gift, marking it as the
fourth divine sign. Having been in Keith's care for nearly 15 years,
the monstrance was now entrusted to the bishop. Almost a decade
after acquiring it, Keith was astonished to discover that the
monstrance was identical to the one used by John Paul II during his
procession. A priest who oversees a museum of church relics in
Vietnam revealed to Keith that only ten such monstrance were ever
made. The priest emphasized its priceless value, noting that
possessing one of the ten could draw thousands of visitors to
witness it.
