Actor Mel Gibson held a secret meeting with one of the famous visionaries of Fatima, Sister Lucia of Portugal. Sister Lucia, now 98 years of age, is a cloistered nun who as a child saw and spoke with the Virgin Mary in Fatima, Portugal in 1917.
Her visions and those of her two childhood friends, both since passed away, were both prophetic and apocalyptic. The Catholic Church accepted the visions as authentic.
"Do you belive that the woman God chose to be his mother would not be allowed to show herself on earth?
Maybe the better question is why would she want to?"
Because she loves you whether you like it or not!
Oh. Oh yeah.
>>The 'third secret' of Fatima was revealed in 2000. It was the collapse of the Soviet Union. here
How come it wasn't revealed before the collapse <<
The Third Secret of Fatima has nothing to do with the collapse of Communism. The rise of "the errors of Russia" was part of the earlier revealed message, and prophesied that Russia would spread its errors throughout the world. Surely you do believe that this has happened, don't you?
The Third Secret as it was published has to do with a persecution of the Church and a general crisis of faith.
Really? That's strange. I always believed that he INTENDED to share his glory with US in the end ....
You're a bigot.
"I'm Pope John Paul II, and I approve this message." LOL
Ok, now THAT was funny!!
Contrary to some people's beliefs, Mary is not a deity nor a part of the Trinity. Wouldn't God choose to send an angel as a messenger, as he has always done? Can you name another mere human that has ever been sent back to earth?
Wow - let's just throw down about 60% of all Christianity.
I faintly remember Moses constructing a statue of a serpent that God used to heal the Isrealites that were bitten by snakes.
Oh Yeah - and how about the time that Namaan(I think that was the guy's name) was required to bathe himself in the Jordan River to cure his leprosy.
God has used objects of his creation in the exhibition of his greatness on Earth since its founding. Why is it so hard for people to believe that God would use bread, wine, water, statutes, and any other thing he chooses as vehicles for sending his grace to his people.
Absolutely correct. And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
But then he would be impeached - - though found "not guilty" by the Senate, although one Senator would vote "not proven," in the name of Scottish law.
The mere human who was privileged to carry the Glory of God within her womb for nine months.
"You see how Catholics put Mary in place of the One who deserves that place?"
You see how people like you refuse to ask what place we put Mary in before you condemn them.
Do you actually believe that God is the only person or being allowed to love you?
Before you trash Catholics - learn something.
True, but nonetheless a mere human. She is not immortal.
And are you positive Jesus wasn't a premie? LOL Just kidding!
When you say that only God can heal - what you fail to understand is that Christ can use people and objects as vehicles for his healing. God can use his mother just as easily as he can use water or even you if he wants.
You forgot Juan Diego's "cloak" of Guadalupe which I have seen. Looks like a Mexican velvet painting to me.
True, but nonetheless a mere human. She is not immortal.<<
So she's not a saint in heaven?
