Apparitions of Saints
apparitions of saints begun
From the time of Adam, God has spoken to His saints and prophets through visions, dreams, and inner voices . . . .
Miraculous events are common in the worlds of the Old and New Testaments, and the lives of the saints are marked by supernatural intervention. In our time, the Eternal Father seems to also be grabbing ordinary people from our midst to use as His mouthpieces. He is calling us to honor the covenant He made with us so that His "will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."
The last century-and-a-half has seen numerous accounts of appearances of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Jesus, Himself, is said to speak to a few of the seers. Some of the apparitions have received official approval by the Roman Catholic Church. Common threads running through all the messages are: Jesus has been offended by the multiplication of against His Sacred Heart; and Mary exhorts humanity to prayer and repentance and an increased devotion to the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Confession. A simple message, but the alternative, we are warned, is a great chastisement which will befall mankind.

    The Holy Eucharist is the manifestation of the Orthodox Church as the new life in Jesus Christ, the new life of grace. In the Mystery (Sacrament) of the Holy Eucharist, we have the real and true presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not any symbolic or imaginary appearance. The change of the elements of bread and wine takes place by supernatural means that surpasses all human understanding and which can only be understood through pure and undefiled faith. Although, the Holy Eucharist as a Mystery (Sacrament) and as a Sacrifice is simultaneously perfected by the same sanctification, it keeps the two inseparable features of the Mystery (Sacrament) and the Sacrifice that differ according to their nature. Because the Holy Eucharist…

    I am writing you today as a concerned member of your congregation. Recently, I found myself on the doorstep of an old, breath-takingly beautiful cathedral, but I stumbled in only to realize that I, a devout Lutheran, am not allowed to receive communion. My lack of knowledge on the Eucharist and the guidelines the Catholic church has placed on this sacrament lead to a response of hostility and hurt on this particular guideline. I am writing to tell you that my response of hostility and hurt was wrong, and dangerous for me and my faith. To come to this conclusion, you must first understand the history behind Catholic communion, the Catholic view on transubstantiation, acceptance in relation to the Eucharist, the…

    Mary's Perpetual Virginity

    • 1510 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The Church has held Mary’s perpetual virginity as a dogma, and it is also true that it has brought about distrust and doubt. This skepticism towards Mary’s virginity has grown through out the history of man kind. At the very heart of this dogma lies the credence of the Church and of the Magisterium, who have the proficiency to maintain Mary’s perpetual virginity as an absolute truth. This upholding has perpetually led to the debate of whether Mary, Mother of Jesus, was in fact a virgin through out her entire life. Many see this affirmation as impossible, nonetheless the Church has always believed Mary remain a virgin “during childbirth and after childbirth.” Conversely many people do agree with this statement for the mere belief that the Bible…

    False Prophecy

    • 3577 Words
    • 15 Pages

    (Dreams, visions and music) And there are many types of prophets. (Royal, individual seers, and cultic) But the single factor that characterizes a genuine prophet, according to H.J. Kraus, is said to be an immediacy with God; the difference in this immediate contract with the divine council makes is illustrated by 1 Kings 22, where the opponents of Micaiah are said to have been dependent upon the Spirit sent by Yahweh for their message. Kraus continues with genuine revelation comes directly from Yahweh to Micaiah, while false prophesy is mediated to the four hundred by the Spirit. Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, “Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this. You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols. So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a…

A revival need to be expected only in answer to prayer.” Without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit through prayer; we are powerless to face Satan’s temptations and incapable of being effective witnesses for the Master.…

    A medium by which God communicates with his people is through his creation. The Garden of Eden was a key instrument in god’s communication with man before sin. It was created for man to have a place to fellowship and commune with him face to face. The bible tells us that “the heavens tell about the glory of God. The skies announce what his hands have made” (Easy to Read Version, Ps 19:1). This passage expresses to us that God reveals himself to us on a continuous basis. When we see the rising and setting of the sun, the stars at night, and the difference in temperature God is telling us that time, days and seasons are changing.…
