I try to just stay away from so-called "apparitions" that are not approved by the Catholic Church. This particular one just seems a little fishy to me. Of course nothing is less believable than those crazy attention cravers who claim they have seen the Blessed Mother on their tortilla about every 2 weeks. I do not say I believe in the "apparitions" at Medjugorje; but I don't say I don't either. I, therefore, don't go around promoting it like it was approved by the Church because these are not. Catholics are not required to believe in any apparitions even the ones the Church approves but the apparitions that are approved, were approved because there was undeniable evidence that these really happened and are true apparitions of Our Lady. Some of the most known are: Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and Our Lady of Czestochowa. I have been to Mexico City to see the tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe and I hope to go to the sites of others some day. My thought is, why go to Medjugorje, when you can go to any one of the wonderful sites of these apparitions that you know are true because of the undeniable evidence for which they were approved? Until Medjugorie is approved, IF it is approved, I will not promote it and will be perfectly satisfied with the other wonderful, true apparitions of our Blessed Mother. Hope this helps. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

I dont mind what the Catholics believe in but it has to be from the word of God, not based on human knowledge. Prayer is personal time with God. We can pray anytime. If the person believes in other things rather than the truth from the bible, their beliefs is false. Christianity is not a practice, religion or routine things that people need to do in order to gain peace. It is worship and personal relationship with the God. Where does that person's peace come from? Is it from God? is that personn having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?

This lady is speaking from her heart - i believe her - and especially when she said pray that all will know the love of God...
I'm sure it won't bother her if some doubt - when your heart feels God's love - nothing else matters.
I've had my own experiences - some of which other Christians who know me find difficult to believe. I go where God is moving - there is nothing to compare with a touch of God - if God's speaking and moving you can be sure my heart is open for all He wants to say and do in me and through me -- i want as much change as God can give - i never want to stay the same - and the more i'm touched the closer to Him i become.
The ladies face changed - and her heart was receptive - Jesus words
"Freely you have received - so freely give"

I feel that she has experienced a deep spiritual truth. Perhaps it is true she is a visionary... many people do see visions from the heavens. I believe her.
I do not pray to "blessed Mary"... but I do believe that those who have deep faith in Mary as a friend with God will not be disappointed. God will allow Mary to minister to those who have faith in her, as a servant of God.
The beautiful message this woman speaks regarding love, non-judgment/non-criticism and love of Jesus is very true, and inspired by God.
Thank you for sharing.

It's the path she has chosen...
She's still growing...
The path of all splits periodically
I believe God does send or puts people into our path for us to gain knowledge

hallucinations are a common symptom of schizophrenia.
ok really:when you see the close up on this lady's eyeball you notice the pupil doesnt dilate one iota........you'd think if you were actually seeing a vision from God that you would be somewhat excited and the normal pupillary dilation would take effect, that is an uncontrolled bodily response, meaning we have no power over it. thus this lady is faking. sorry

Any apparition of the Virgin Mary, in my opinion, is not one sent from God. I am a Christian and take NO part in worship of Mary, it is not biblical to do so and is actually forbidden to do so.
Those deceived by this adoration of Mary that sometimes goes on to surpass Jesus is not of God and his Kingdom, but a lie and deceit sent from the Father of Lies, Satan.

well...she is very sincere...and devout
mary as a supernatural being who comes in apparitions is very unbiblical......
it seems to have a positive effect on the lady.

She said that when she is experiencing this, she is unaware of her surroundings... she feels nothing. I wonder what would happen if someone punched her in the head during this time. Seriously... I wonder if she would feel that.
