Hey out of curiosity, has Mary ever appeared to you? count dreams or really anything that has struck you as miraculous. :bounce:
Can’t say that I’ve seen Our Lady with my own eyes, but I’ve seen her image appear – seemingly miraculously – on a piece of clothing covering the body part where a friend of mine had cancer. The image was in the form of Our Lady of the Macarena, and we were in Seville, Spain, where the Church of the Macarena is found. We hadn’t been to the church yet, but earlier in the day, a kind lady had spoken strangely to us, saying she’s pray for my friend, without knowing that my friend had cancer. That person said that she was going to pray for my friend at the church of Our Lady of the Macarena, and asked us to pray for her son as she told us goodbye.
That night, after speaking with the kind lady on her way to the Macarena church, I found the image of Our Lady on the clothing that my friend had been wearing that day.
The next day, we went to the Macarena church, and it was beautiful.
A few days later, we had to leave Seville. I was driving, and it took us forever to get out of town from our hotel. Seville is a maze of streets, so it could have been that it was just so complicated. But we kept going around and around in circles. And almost every time we circled, we passed the church of Our Lady of the Macarena. I think it was 6 or 7 times that we passed the church before finally figuring out a way out of the city.
I can say that I very much felt like my friend and I were being protected. My friend was dreadfully afraid of dying. I won’t go into details, but I’m pretty sure Satan was trying to get my friend to despair. Every time we turned on the television, we kept seeing stories of death – American movies, for example, about people in just my friend’s position dying. It was uncanny. What really took the cake for me was that when we flew back to the U.S., we missed a connection in New York City and the the airline booked us in a hotel overnight. Guess which room number? 666. Seriously, no joke.
I think Satan was literally trying to get my friend to despair. My friend was losing hope of life and of God’s love. I’m almost positive Our Lady was watching out for my friend. I’m blessed to have been there to pray with my friend.
