Cross?

[jeanne71350]

Hi everyone,

Last night, I began thinking about this experience that happened to me when I was about 8-9 years old. I remember it was a Friday, and my family was driving to visit my grandparents. I was looking out the window, and we were passing by an open field. For a few seconds, I saw clear as day…a cross. It was pretty big, and there was a faint light around it. I had never seen anything there before at all, it was just an open field. It puzzled me. I didn’t know where it had come from. I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me, but it was too vivid for that. I also thought maybe a sticker got caught on the window or something, but it went away and it was much too large to be a sticker…so it wasn’t that. I thought, maybe, it was from God…but then I thought, how is that possible? I was just a little kid then.

I’m 17 now, and I still remember this event very well. I kind of set this aside for the 9 years, but lately I’ve been thinking about it. I’m just wondering if it was from God. Or was I imagining things. If it would have been a figment of my imagination, I’m sure I wouldn’t remember it this well.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

God Bless

It may be that this Cross was from God. It could be that you were blessed to see this for whatever reason. Maybe there was some purpose behind the whole experience. God works in mysterious ways, always remember that.

very interesting, a cross in a field on the day of Jesus’ death…
we are told that all things happen for a reason, so perhaps there is a significance to this, but i would recommend not thinking to hard on it, and just pray to God to help you understand it first, cause if it came from Him, then who better to ask about it?

maybe you could talk to your priest about it, he may or may not take it seriously, but if he doesn’t then just pray on it…

other then that there’s not much more i can say…i have my own ideas of what it could mean, but i’d probably be wrong

I’m intrested in hearing them. I’ve already gone through pretty much every possible scenario in my mind.

If you would like to talk about it, please send me a PM.

possibly, or possible just some natural phenomenon related to the light, the weather or something, or possible that God used a natural event or trick of the light to allow you to perceive the cross or even that he did gift you with a personal reminder of his presence. how did it make you feel at the time? do you think it related to anything going on in your life then? or now, since it is on your mind now? Life is full of examples of ways nature gives us constant reminders of God’s work so that is most likely. The usual advice when one experiences anything that may be from heaven is to either ask one’s confessor or spiritual director to help discernment, or to simply be thankful for the good in the event and let it go.
