Diocese of Las Cruces investigating ‘weeping’ Virgin Mary (Hobbs, NM church)

HOBBS, N.M. — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces is investigating reports that a bronze statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe at a southeastern New Mexico church is weeping.

The Hobbs News-Sun reports the investigation comes after alleged witness accounts of tears coming down the eyes of a bronze statue at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Hobbs, New Mexico.

A much more complete story and the current investigation can be found at the below links which can not be excerpted due to being a USA/Gannett publication:

'It's a miracle': Virgin Mary statue wept at Mass, Hobbs parishioners said

Bishop Cantú explains investigation into 'weeping' Virgin Mary statue

I will say that the first-hand accounts in the first story, including by the parish priest, are compelling with the tears not being a water-like substance, but more more oily and smells like roses.

There have been two reported occurrences in May with the most recent ported on May 22. Bishop Oscar Cantú of Las Cruces is quoted as being somewhat apprehensive if the investigation confirms the reports. He says that “If it is supernatural, then is it God? Or is it of an evil spirit? We do believe in the fallen angels, ...”

Hobbs has two Catholic churches, but the pastor of the other, St. Helena Catholic Church, was arrested last October for adult sexual abuse. During the time a male visitor was staying at the rectory, the priest was reported to have entered the shower without clothing and began washing the man's body, including his genital area.

Given that this is Hobbes, I am betting on:

1. drugs hidden inside;

2. pollution; or

3. polluted drugs.

I have an acquaintance (not a friend) who fixes my bike. He’s a rocker-wearing Bandido. He considers Hobbes too dangerous.

To me, it’s a toss up between Odessa and Hobbes being the biggest dumps of the entire South West.

Wow. Thanks for the info. I really never wanted to go near there but that is kinda interesting.

I suppose anything is possible. A few years ago the image of Jesus appeared on someone's breakfast toast. It has even been recorded to appear on a tortilla. I'm serious; this really happened.

“Why is it raining, momma?”
“It’s raining because Mary is crying, honey.”
“Why is Mary crying, momma?”
“It’s probably something you did.”

Then Satan has too much time on his hands.
Keep him busy by sinning more.

I saw an image of “Q” on a piece of burnt toast. But I ate it.

And a qook wept.

so related geographically.....

Today is the GOP primary in NM, right?

Anyone have any commentary?

Isn’t there a congressional race?

This will answer your questions:

Election will transform political landscape in New Mexico

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yup. Look for Republican Yvette Herrell to take Steve Pearce’s House seat in NM-2. Pearce will face off against a corrupt and damaged fellow Dem Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham for Governor. Republican Janice Arnold-Jones will have a modest shot at reclaiming Grisham’s seat in NM-1.

It's very much safer than either Albuquerque or Roswell.

Since the only image of Yeshua we have is the Hollyweird version how do you know it’s not that image that is shown?

[steve86]

I believe this is legit (from Virgin Mary). Mary’s apparitions and effects don’t occur at palaces and gated abodes of the rich and famous — she appears where she can reach ordinary sinners.

[ConservativeDude]

Is Herrell acceptably conservative?

[SaveFerris]

Thank you for the information. Darn, I was gonna find them aliens! LOL

One uncle and aunt moved to NM - and went hard left.

I never had any idea they were like that.

[ConservativeDude]

thanks

I heard that one a lot.
