A mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Tuesday left two children dead and 17 others injured. The tragedy has sparked calls for prayer and reflection across Minnesota and beyond. Among those responding to the horrific events is prophetic voice Amanda Grace, who believes the attack carries spiritual significance.
“Please pray for these families right now. This is a nightmare for them,” Grace said in a message shortly after news of the shooting broke.

Grace pointed to the name of the school — Annunciation — as symbolic. “Annunciation means announcement. In the Catholic faith, it refers to when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to announce that she would conceive Jesus Christ,” she said. “This is an announcement from the kingdom of darkness, a counterfeit to the announcement of the Light of the World.”
She also shared excerpts from prophetic messages she said the Lord had given her in recent years concerning Minnesota.
On Oct. 25, 2024, she said she received a word stating: “Minnesota will begin to turn on its own, for that spirit of provocation has gone forth to resurrect anger… The enemy in this hour is attempting to stir a spiritual cauldron that was set there with the help of the governor and those in the dark arts. Pray, My children, that this is thwarted, that the plan is exposed and the cauldron is destroyed.”
Grace noted additional words from March 17, 2025, referencing Minneapolis in connection with what she described as the “spirit of Amalek,” and a July 18, 2025, prophecy declaring a “changing of the guard” in Minnesota’s leadership amid scandal.
“These things are not happening by accident,” she said. “John 10:10 says, ‘The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. But I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’ This attack is a reflection of that verse.”
Grace urged Christians to be “watchmen on the wall” and to remain vigilant during what she described as a spiritually dangerous window between September and late October.

“The enemy is stirring, but the prayer of the saints and the intercession can dismantle such attacks,” she said. “Be sober-minded and vigilant right now.”
As the investigation continues, lift up the families in Minneapolis that are left mourning and praying for healing, comfort and peace.
