She has been featured in many media outlets, including the BBC,[3] CNN,[4] The Economist,[5] The Observer,[6] and the Daily Telegraph.
Stairways to Heaven (2010) is a memoir of life after the death of her husband, including the story of writing her first book and becoming a public figure.
It contains descriptions of visionary experiences of historical figures and detailed exercises for connecting to guardian angels.
From 2015 until 2017, Blue Box Creative Learning Centre, which provides art therapy was funded.
[14] Lorna Byrne and a group of friends, guided by the angels and shared values, have established a non-profit organisation named The Seraph Foundation.
The object of the Seraph Foundation is for people from around the world, of all backgrounds and beliefs to come together, promote religious & social tolerance, inspire hope, encourage mindfulness & wellbeing while developing spiritually, guided by the teachings of Lorna Byrne and the Angels.
[15] Since becoming a well-known author, Byrne has engaged in book tours, and has spoken in other contexts to many public audiences across Europe and the United States.
She has travelled repeatedly to the United States, a country she believes is pivotal in the future of the world.
In 2014 and 2015, much of her work was devoted to fostering unity between Sunni and Shia Muslims in America, which Byrne believes is important in influencing American foreign policy in the Middle East.
[18] In February 2014, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Betty Williams joined Byrne at the Sufi Mosque at Tribeca for a prayer event for unity among Muslims.
[19][20] Byrne has travelled to be a subject in two full-scale documentaries: the American production The Lady Who Sees Angels, which was directed by Ted Yacucci and released in 2015;[21] and, to raise funds for the Lorna Byrne Children's Foundation, an Irish production filmed in Ethiopia, The Future belongs to the Young, directed by Hugh Chaloner and released in 2017.
In 2014 she stated that the war in Syria had the potential to spread, and poses a great danger to the rest of the world.
She most strongly emphasizes, and is best known to the public for saying, that everyone regardless of belief has a guardian angel, who loves the person they protect, never leaves their side for an even a moment, and can be asked for help.
[25]We have been trivializing angels for some time — turning them into good luck charms rather than acknowledging them as the powerful and important forces they are.
[26]Some of the angels Byrne has written about talking to are those of the Abrahamic religions: for example, Michael, Gabriel, and Elijah.
[29] "It needs to become normal for all of us, regardless of our education, our status in life or our method or place of prayer, to come together with open hearts — without any agenda — to pray to God in whatever way feels appropriate to us.
[citation needed] Inspired by what she says angels have told her, Byrne has expressed views on matters of public concern.
We are all required to stand up and to make sure our leaders at neighbourhood, community, regional, national and international level know we care about this planet and our environment, and will hold them accountable.
"[30] The underpinning for activity to protect the environment should be love: "We all need to wake up and be more aware of the beauty and the gifts of nature that surround us.
The means by which this challenge is met are important: "It will not be solved if people are just out for themselves or wish to make unjust profit out of the process.
[36] Reaction to Byrne's statement that she sees angels and spirits has been varied, ranging from scepticism and disbelief to belief and endorsement.
John L. Esposito, professor of International Relations and Islamic Studies at Georgetown University, said, "A Message of Hope from the Angels offers a message of hope that speaks to the crises and everyday problems that many struggle with in today’s world.
"[37] John Carty, an endorphin release therapist, said Byrne's ability to see energy in the human body has helped him in his work.
[38] Larry Dossey, MD., NY Times bestselling author, writes, "Since recorded history, certain individuals have sensed, seen, and conversed with angelic presences.
