Betania Visionary Visits New York on Mission - 2004

Betania Visionary Visits New York on Mission

January 27, 2004

Maria Esperanza, the famous visionary associated with the Church-sanctioned apparition site of Betania, Venezuela has come to the United States on an undefined mission. The trip which begun on December 21 has included visits to various New York City locations such as the Mother Cabrini Shrine, St. Ignatius Loyola Church on Park Avenue, and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Esperanza's movements are closely heeded because the last two times she was in the U.S. were September 11, 2001 -- which she had foreseen in a vision -- and then last year at the onset of the Iraq war.

It was Esperanza who in 1992 publicly told a group of pilgrims that she had seen "two huge towers with black smoke all around them" -- an apparent prophecy about terrorism at the Trade Center -- and who in December of 2000 and then the following March publicly warned that something "big" was about happen to the U.S. involving foreign interests "on American soil." She reissued a warning on August 25, 2001 that "something big," something that would shake the world, was about to occur -- just weeks before 9/11.

Esperanza, 75, who suffers stigmata and experiences a wide array of charisms, is widely considered one of the most powerful mystics since Padre Pio. She believes that the next ten years will involve major events for the world, with special graces from Heaven.

Before Christmas Maria told a New Jersey priest that she had received an "order" to come to the U.S., without offering details. She asked for prayers, foreseeing "many obstacles" in the current "mission."

Esperanza, whose site of apparitions was approved by formal Church declaration in 1987, has experienced visions, locutions, and apparitions for seven decades, since she saw St. Therese the Little Flower as a young girl. On Good Fridays she has been known to suffer the stigmata while under the close observation of doctors, although in recent years the wounds have not visibly bled.

two nations will provoke us - 1 larger, 1 smaller.

My money is China and Mexico or China and Venezuela.

At Daily Mass on 9-11 our priest also talked about Maria Esperanza foretold about what had to be built on the World Trade Center site.

Not reflection pools — but TWO CHURCHES!!!!!!!

Not necessarily Catholic, but more ecumenical in nature where everyone could come to pray.

Is this the reason nothing has been built at the World Trade Center and it remains a gaping pitiful pit???

[Salvation]

I’ll go with Venezuela.

Another alleged Irish seer, Christina Gallagher, warned on September 11, 1999, while speaking at the tip of Manhattan in the shadows of the World Trade Center, that "if Americans don't turn back to God, all of this will be destroyed."

[Salvation]

The visions of Maria Esperanza have been approved by the Church. I don’t know about the Irish person.

"Before Christmas Maria told a New Jersey priest that she had received an "order" to come to the U.S., without offering details."

Christmas of 2008?

Russia and Venezuela

[chichipow]

What Church? The Catholic Church? Nothing against the Catholic Church I guess, but the two rappers with the Towers exploding were mystics too?

[Quix]

Impressive narrative.

Thanks for sharing it.

Blessings, to you and yours.

Iran and Russia or China

[ncalburt]

I'd say Russia and Venezuela and the new nuclear bomb deal.

[Errant]

Well, you may be right. Come to think of it, that Russian ship recently in the news was found pretty far South of the straits of gibraltar wasn’t it?

If the church is approving of her visions then they are approving of spiritism which is expressly forbidden in the Bible.

[TotusTuus]

Caution and prudence suggests we should always be leery of claims such as these and, above all, OBEY THE CHURCH.

Having said that, I hope others on this forum could research to confirm what I remember about Betania.

If I recall correctly, the local Bishop DID have positive findings about aspects of Betania, but also CONDEMNED much of the "locutional" activity of Maria Esperanza as an individual, especially in later years. I think she died within the past couple of years. I don't remember specifics since I probably didn't think (and still don't) it all that important.

In any event, just a word of advice to, perhaps, dig a little deeper on the specifics of Betania and what the Church has approved of it vis-a-vis this woman and where and when the association between the two runs afoul of the Church's decision concerning the Betania event.

It's late. I think I made that as clear as mud. In any event, I'll remember to pray for her soul.

[Dominick]

I can confiirm this, Maria Esperanza in particular was condemned.

We're out of luck then, because the chances of lower Manhattan turning to God are incredibly small.

How is this spiritism? Do you know anything about padre Pio?
