Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
A friend from Bible study brought us all information about the Holy Love Ministries which claims to have had numerous apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus and the saints.
Two red flags went up immediately w/ the information she shared w/ us.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I ask your prayers as I discern the best way to charitably address this w/ my friend. Kate

- they say that the Blessed VIrgin Mary speaks of “the promise of an era to come spoken of at Garabandal.” I’ve done enough reading to know that the local bishop with authority over Garabandal has stated that nothing supernatural has happened there. It is my understanding that anyone who speaks of the claimed appiritions of Garabandal is setting themselves in opposition with the authority of the bishop there.
- in their printed material they call themselves an ecumenical ministry and say "We do not, nor have we ever sought affiliation with the Diocese of Cleveland. As an ecumenical ministry, we do not seek their approbation and are not under the jurisdiction of the Diocesan authority (my italics). This is very troubling. It does not seem logical that the Mother of the Church would give her blessing to a group that proudly sets itself outside the authority of the Church.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I ask your prayers as I discern the best way to charitably address this w/ my friend. Kate
