There are numerous videos on youtube of supposed miracles of the sun. None of them comes close to the eye witness accounts of what happened in Fatima. The Fatima miracle was a one-off. A sign was promised by Our Lady and she fulfilled her promise. Why do people expect a repeat performance here there and everywhere? It smacks of superstition rather than faith.
Dolours, Plus it was a preannounced miracle! The 3 seers made the announcement in advance and on the day of the miracle they received another message from the Blessed Mother. 70,000 people were in attendance who were initially drenched from the rain and were suddenly dry after the miracle. In the first video that I posted of the happening in Nigeria, the crowd is not at all in awe of the sun. It looks faked, the people are simply walking around and not taking any notice. It is sad that so many things are faked nowadays.
I heard of one that happens fairly often in Philippines. Let me ask you this Dolours, if you saw one would you think that’s a pity or would you think amazing. God and Mary are still here with us
Is what happens fairly often in the Philippines similar to what happened in Fatima? I don't need to see the sun change shape or brilliance to believe that God and Mary are still here with us. I receive God in the Blessed Eucharist. I adore God in the tabernacle. I don't need the Blessed Mother to give me special signs for me to believe that she is with me. Do you?
When I’m weak and think it would be nice to witness some sign from heaven to bolster my flagging faith, there’s a verse from scripture that never fails to spring to mind (to paraphrase): “It is a wicked generation that seaks after signs.”
Oh dear, Indy, I didn't know you were there too. Beginning to get very anxious for you, Sanctus and all other Irish members of the MOG. I too am going to go before the Miraculous Image and beg God's grace and mercy for all of you.
Didn’t answer the question at all. In Philippines it happens at a Marian shrine. To answer your question no of course not (not now, was a time in my life I did ask for that as I’ve shared in my story) but if there was a miracle like that I saw I wouldn’t say that sucks, makes Fatima mean less. Because it wouldn’t.
To answer your question, if I saw a miracle like the miracle of the sun at Fatima I would be down on my knees saying an act of contrition because I would believe that the sun was about to crash into the earth. That's what happened at Fatima. The sun was a kaleidoscope of colours, spinning in the sky and plunging towards earth. Is that what happens in the Philippines? It's certainly not what is shown in the "miracle of the sun" videos posted on youtube.
You might remember that in the retired fireman's prediction about Trump becoming President and that he is God's "anointed" to bring America back to God....but with the necessity of people's prayers and sacrifices....he also mentioned that Trump would wind up appointing 5 Supreme Court justices (although he said that such an opportunity would in some way be due to a scandal within the sitting court). So there is this report now about Trump assuming he will be able to appoint 3 more justices after Gorsuch...perhaps a 5th, coming from such a scandal is currently unknown to Trump: Trump is reportedly talking about Supreme Court justices' health issues, privately predicting he'll be able to appoint 4 President Donald Trump has already appointed one Supreme Court justice, and is reportedly telling people he believes he will appoint three more. Multiple sources told Axios' Jonathan Swan that Trump is openly predicting he'll be able to fill four Supreme Court seats as president. ... Justice Anthony Kennedy — who is 81 years old — is rumored to be thinking about retirement. Trump, according to Axios, also thinks he'll be able to replace Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, citing their health. Trump has talked about Sotomayor's Type 1 diabetes, according to Axios, telling the source, "Her health ... no good. Diabetes." ..... Justice Stephen Breyer, another liberal, is 79 years old. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...ll-be-able-to-appoint-4/ar-AAtxJFo?li=BBnb7Kz Could the possibility of some scandal re: John Roberts' going beyond his rightful position's limitations to becoming the atty for Obamacare in order to get it passed be revealed?
I would be concerned that he might do a deal with the Democrats where they will support some healthcare reform in exchange for him appointing a liberal Supreme Court judge. It was reported today that some billionnaire is offering a reward for information leading to Trump's impeachment.
Perhaps the behavior of the sun at Fatima was a prediction of what could still happen in the future, involving the sun in some way, as its threat could be fulfilled IF the Church and the world/faithful do not change and do what was requested by OLOF. And since that real fearful incident, along with the other signs, was stopped in its tracks so to speak seemingly through the grace of the Mother, we still need to be reminded of that "warning" by other incidents where the sun is still involved. While most such experiences with the sun result in awe, wonder, and praise of God they still remind one of how God is capable of doing things outside the laws of nature. Many such incidences occur at Medjugorje, a place where the Mother came to "tell the world that God exists". Such signs do just that. But without the effect of that grace causing changes in the world's behavior we also know of just how God can use His power to force such repentance....as in what occurred at Fatima.
I highly doubt that since that would serve to undermine his own declarations of intentions for his Presidency....and so far he has attempted to push them through one way or another; He's constantly touting Gorsuch as one of his big accomplishments for his base so doubt if he'd chance that big of dissing of his base re: promises made for SCOTUS; and when Congress doesn't act he's moving more on his own and even isolating himself more and more for such lack of cooperation with the liberal intentions of the RINOs. IF there is a scandal involving the way that Obamacare came into being that would make it null and void....so then Congress would have to act and get a new one in place.....not even to be called a "replacement" since there wasn't a legitimate one in the first place. One can only hope! And a prediction included within that Mark Taylor "prophecy" was for the Federal overturn via SCOTUS of abortion, sending it back to the individual states for action. That needs some very determined conservative justices to do since it's become all too normal in its acceptance by the citizens.

They say it is the worst storm in 50 years. I don't believe them. It is the worst storm in living memory going back to the Night of the Big Wind, 6 January 1839 (Irish: Oíche na Gaoithe Móire) We are being fed lies. Since when does a Tropical Hurricane , travelling thousands of miles, come north to hit Ireland? ..and no, it is not the fairies causing this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Big_Wind
Ah well good excuse for nice graphics! And I got a day off school. Here is exact location of the storm at 9am.
People though it was the end of the world. I have a great book on the Night of the Big Wind 1839 (the year my great, great grandfather was born!) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Night-Big-Wind-Peter-Carr/dp/1870132505
Good excuse for book and movie day. I'm near kells in meath a wwe village called mullagh. Dark and foreboding atmosphere outside but relatively calm and warm at the same time. Personally I think it will be bad in parts but over exaggerated as usual. Will not be hitting the bunker just yet.
I remember when I young hearing stories of a storm that pretty well wiped out the entire Irish fishing fleet. I wonder if this was it?
