1. The source of the email was a very conservative priest of a conservative order.
2. Josyp Terelya's mystic experiences gained him audiences with Pope John Paul II, and he was released from the Soviet Union with the help of President Ronald Reagan, The Queen of Holland, and the President of France.
3. Because he is an artist, he often drew what he did not understand, and has several books to his credit (with his artwork). One of the more astonishing is a picture of Jesus Crucified in an atomic mushroom cloud -- when he was confined in prison by the KGB. This picture drew striking similarity to the photograph of a French Hydrogen bomb experiment in the South Pacific. The only catch is that Josyp was a prisoner of the KGB and had no knowledge of this...
This may not be your cup of tea...
Anyone semi-literate would have knowledge of this.
More importantly, dead people do NOT talk to you.
This is farce.
I'm leery of all supposed "appartitions" of Mary and Jesus. Not to say that miracles can't happen, but it's always safe to receive one's revelations from the Church Herself, and not rely upon "visions" or "signs".
That's just me. Again, miracles can and do happen of course. Just not to everybody, and not FOR everyone either. IMO.
Has Josyp Terelya's local ordinary ever issued an official pronouncement regarding these apparitions?
Fasting is a good idea for Advent anyway. December 17th - I'm in.
Francis the talking mule spoke to me one time.
Blessed Mother,
We ask you to intercede with your son, Jesus Christ, to save the soul of nmh who at this time continues not to believe in praying through intercession. Please bless him in his unbelief. Amen.
