Editor's Notes
- Explain third book omitted is called Revelation; this is a chance for me to show off my personal collection of miraculous photos
- Ask them if they know what it is—core elements of our faith Apostolic traditions include oral, written traditions that comprise our faith—St Paul tells the Corinthians…what are some examples: sacr of Reconciliation
- Private revelation (major examples)—can they guess? come through 2 means—saints and miracles; keep in mind saints occasionally have gotten things wrong or have spoken on things more poetically than being precisely correct
- When the Church approves private revelations, she declares only that there is nothing in them against our faith or good morals, and that they may be read without danger …; but you are not required to believe them. Implicit is that they are valid and historical. You have probably seen pictures from the older ones but not the newer ones…
- Note the dome of the church was also glowing
- Human blood, sweat and tears—told Sr. Agnes to only receive Euch only on the tongue, never in the hand; 1969—change in rules to allow local bishops to allow—changes began in early 70s; US 1977 Mother theresa, what do you think is the worst problem in the world today?" She more than anyone could name any number of candidates: famine, plague, disease, the breakdown of the family, rebellion against God, the corruption of the media, world debt, nuclear threat, and so on. Without pausing a second she said, "Wherever I go in the whole world, the thing that makes me the saddest is watching people receive Communion in the hand." distribution of Communion in the hand remains, even now, from the juridical standpoint, an indult from the universal law, conceded by the Holy See to those bishops conferences which requested it. In other words, it is an exception to the norm, and Pope Benedict is making it clear what the norm has been and still is: Communion on the tongue while kneeling.
- The following are not in my collection but are important ones you should know about Approved devotion-National Shrine in PA; painted by St. Luke. St. Luke is believed to have used a tabletop from a table built by the carpenter Jesus. It was while Luke was painting Mary that she told him about the events in the life of Jesus that he eventually incorporated in his gospel. The painting shows up in 326 AD when St. Helen located it in Jerusalem while on a pilgrimage there. She gave the painting to her son, Constantine, who had a shrine built in Constantinople to house it. patroness of Poland and symbol
- --not in my personal collxn--Pope JPII was Polish so it makes sense (she appears to people in their own nationality) notice the gold trim on the mantle
- --speaking of the Polish connection----------------ask them if they now when celebrated (final octave) Approved celebrate week after Easter 1931, Jesus appeared to Sr. Faustina as the King of Divine Mercy. He asked her to have a picture painted of him as she saw him — clothed in white, with red and white rays of light streaming from his heart. The rays represent the blood and water that flowed from the side of Jesus on the cross. Under the image are the words, "Jesus, I trust in you."—JPII canonized
- My personal collection of photos from my mother Use Medjugorje newsletter as an example; Photoshop disclaimer
- distrust anything published that doesn’t have this or a similar statement
- God can use people for miraculous signs…. the most dramatic example of a charism is probably…
- The most dramatic example of a charism
- So its ok to question these things—when in doubt don’t believe; at least 30 appearances of Mary have been investigated by the church and ruled fakes the most dramatic example of a charism is probably…
- Photoshop disclaimer---common signs of fakes are trying too hard to prove something is miraculous, bringing attention to an individual or cause rather than God
- First reported 1962, including travelers and a french air force pilot
- This is old, maybe early 70s—source is unknown; Click to enlarge
- Discovered on a bank building—survived a chemical attack (sort of disproves the sprinkler theory) but then vandalized in 2004
- 2003 source unknown
- taken in 1982 by a US pilgrim in Israel. She had her film developed when she returned home, and this image was among them. She told the staff in the photographic shop she had not taken this image. She then heard the holy voice of Jesus say it is a miraculous photo and she should promote it worldwide. He said it should not be framed behind glass; and it will prepare humanity for His final coming! --
- A priest from Vatican took this picture of Our Lady of Medjugorje in 1980's or 1990's. (Believed to be an actual snapshot of Mary taken by a priest visiting Medjugorje) NOTICE they have the same nose! Flip back
- supposedly this was a single pregnant mother; this could be a double exposure and still be a miraculous act of private revelation
- Click to appear
- Statue weeps tears or blood;
- One of the miracles of Naju is this—but not sure if this photo came from Naju a 1990 poll—only 30% of American Catholics believe in the true presence
- My parents story
- 10 yrs ago this photo spread around—explain conventional thought ; as it turned out the baby was anesthetized during surgery and its hand coming out would be involuntary, nevertheless this caused conversion of the photographer from pro-choice to pro-life; so it was business as usual for the surgeon but a moment of great private revelation for the photographer.
- My photo collxn avail if you want to look at again after class
