FORT WORTH, Texas -- A chance to see the face of Jesus is drawing hundreds to a local apartment complex.
As word spreads about the image, people are flocking to the window, looking for signs of a miracle. Many claim they are finding it.
"I was just touching around to see if I felt anything, and I saw my hand," said Mary Castillo, who has been blind for years. "Then my husband went up there with me and I saw his hand."
Castillo said that her vision has started to be restored. She said she saw her 9-year-old granddaughter clearly for the first time.

Reconsidered:
NYer does not quote from the Word of God, but from other sources.
What NYer posts is in direct opposition to God's Way as revealed in Scripture.
Why, therefore, should anyone assume that NYer has read the Bible?
My question was perfectly legitimate.
Grilled cheese and a pretzel?
NYer was quoting from the diary kept by St. Faustina - where else was she going to write down our Lord's requests?
What NYer posts is in direct opposition to God's Way as revealed in Scripture.
What NYer posted and what A.A.Cunningham linked you to were direct scriptural references. Surely you do you doubt the Book of Exodus or the the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John? The KJV still contains the Book of Psalms.
So speaks another "Bible Christian" who thinks he knows better than 2,000 years of Holy Spirit inspiration and guidance. Careful .30Carbine, you're in danger of setting yourself up as a "pope unto yourself."
...who thinks he knows better than 2,000 years of Holy Spirit inspiration and guidance.
What is really tragic is anyone thinking the sacrifice of Christ is not enough for salvation, that any other Mediator or Redeemer is necessary, or that the Word of God needs supplimentation.
NYer, A.A.Cunningham posted no links whatsoever to me.
What makes you think we believe that sacrifice of Christ is not enough? There is nothing in Catholic teaching that suggests this. On the contrary, OUR celebration of the Eucharist (which is the entire purpose of the Mass) is more focused on Christ than any grape juice and crackers reminder in Protestant churches. As far as supplimentation [sic], we supplement nothing. Indeed, we have been steadfast since Jesus instituted the Catholic Church. One has only to look at the 31,000 different Protestant denominations to wonder who is supplementing what. And before you go off on the communion of saints, let me ask, do you ever ask other Christians to pray for you? Its no different.
Sorry, but there is a reason that the Catholic Church is located in Rome (Roman Empire). The Roman leaders had more to do with how the Catholic Church is run these days than anyone, including worship on Sundays, and the Birth of Christ being moved to December, and his Death at a particular week in Spring. And just because 31,000 different denominations were based on this, does not make the original correct. It just means that 31,000 followed incorrectly.
