I had to chuckle while reading some of the posts here. I too, was a HUGE skeptic about spinning suns and signs from heaven. But I have personally witnessed the sun spin at a site in Indiana called Sylvan Springs this summer. (It seems a nun had apparitions there in the 1950's with the Blessed Mother.)

The entire time I am watching the sun spin, I am analyzing how this is happening...is it just the brightness of the sun, is it a distortion in my cornea due to the brightness...believe me...I was VERY skeptical and actually a bit scared when it happened. But my sister saw it too. It was a huge confirmation for me of the validity of this location.

I used to think people who "needed" this type of experience were somehow lacking in their spiritual lives. Little did I realize how spiritually lacking I was until this happened. There is such joy at this place...such peace.

I know when my doctor was going to Mexico because there was a statue crying tears, some people thought it was flakey even though he's got a very good reputation in the medical circle here, but it's pretty universal with Catholics to have beliefs that Protestants and Atheists and others would find unusual. Often things aren't talked about except in "safe" company so in a way it's not a surprise that some don't even realize it. What Catholic doesn't pray to St Anthony when they lose something and then credit him with finding it for them?
