Mary statue crying tears of blood on Sunday

[Santa_Cruz]

JonPerry:

The Sacramento Bee reported today that the Diocese has no plan for investigating at this. I have to applaud the spokesman’s quote of “The Catholic Church thinks in terms of centuries, not tomorrow’s headlines”.

Sorry for not posting the article, but I can only access the hardcopy. Try www.sacbee.com

I was there on Saturday. The pictures don’t do her justice…

Anyone else from Sacramento?

Went there twice today with some co-workers. I can’t say for sure but it sure looks real to me. I have hope.

Perhaps the tears are from the fact that the local catholic high school has allowed a pro -choice person teach at the school.

Who really knows at this point. I hope they have the statue tested or least run the supposed blood thru a lab.

I can’t get the image off my mind…I’ll return tomorrow if I get the chance.

Has anyone read “Prayer Warrior”? The author, an ex new-age fascinated secularist journalist who, after a dream invoplving St. Michael and the devil in hgis room became a very prayerful person, quotes from Medjugorje (amongst other apparition sites’ revelations), which is not approved, but he lists all the crazy Satanic and occultish stuff that has gone on in America and most seems to have happened in California, if I remember correctly. Some creepy things obviously have happened in New York and the East Coast because he recounts how, after getting prayerful and more at peace, complete strangers either gave him scary looks or blessed him. I’m only half-way through but work the next day, only, has made me put the book down (and I’m a traditionalist who doesn’t know if I should buy these charismatic people’s “gifts” and would have put it down any other time just in case it’s self-induced hysteria posing as a devotion to the Holy Spirit). I hope there’s no errors in it by accident other than saying Chesterton is an Anglican (this book must have come out in the '90s as he mentiuons the first World Trade Center bombing). Is it a good book? I mean Gabriele Amorth’s accounts in both books of demonic activity didn’t spook me as much as what this guy says happened!

Maybe, if true, the weeping is happening there because the church buildings are in California.

I am a faithful Catholic who has been turned off by some of the socalled apparitions of the Blessed Mother. I wait for the Churhc to decide before placing any stock in any of them.

Any update on the tests they ran??

It was called “Prayer of the Warrior” by Michael H. Brown. Have you heard of him? Is he, “Faith” Publishing or the Riehle Foundation reputable? Brown mentioned Neanderthals as having pagan ritual involving a broken skull with a ring of rocks around it. Did they exist? I mean, where did that put Adam and Eve? They had to have been able to pass on an oral tradition.

Still, the info on the demonic/occult kind of stuff certain rockers were into and the sorcery and New Age techniques and ideas was interesting, but I don’t want anyone or myself to get confused by error.

Thanks!

He does mention that he prayed with charismatic Protestants who apparently found people demonically oppressed and helped them out. Not that that couldn’t happen since they are technically Christian, but not all Protestants, non-denoms, etc. are happy if we are being good Catholics and Buddhists are being good Buddhists, etc. Some believe theirs is the true faith. Maybe that sounds bigoted, but those who have that view win converts to their faith or religion. Not that you lord it over anyone that you’re right but we should spread our Faith with that knowledge that we are the true Faith–Peter never gave te keys to any “reformer” outside the Church. If a Catholic has the piety of a saint it could be perverted if instructed incorrectly by an evangelical Protestant who feels their soul is in danger. Yikes.
