I was sent some pictures of a statue of Our Lady of Fatima crying in Port Hood, Nova Scotia at a Parish meeting of a group called, Heralds of the Gospel' (I give a link to the group below): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heralds_of_the_Gospel The group seems to be a little bit controversial so I will discernment with you. cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heralds_of_the_Gospel I know little enough about them. But interestingly reports of statues weeping come from meetings of the group round the world and I place pictures of this below. (Or is it that the eyes appear alive?)
The 'Heralds of the Gospel', are themselves very interesting. I always meant to read up on them a lot more but have not gotten round to it yet: certainly Hollywood would LOVE them
I wonder why they would be considered “controversial”. Their founder, Msgr. João Cla Dias was awarded with one of the highest honors bestowed by the Pope, the Pro Eclesia et Pontifical medal; their spirituality consists of building up the Church as one, holy, catholic and apostolic body of Christ, imitating the piety of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and contemplating the Face of Jesus. They promote Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration and First Saturday devotion. What could be controversial? I guess we know that it is the enemy who is spreading rumors about them - he’s very good at taking something (or someone) Holy and lying, as he is the father of lies.
The Heralds of the Gospel were here in the UK. They used to bring the statue of Our Lady of Fatima to where ever they were invited. I asked them to bring the statue to our town after a local Priest was caught and prosecuted for downloading inappropriate material from the internet. At the time there were people who wanted to walk away from the Church over the scandal. Anyway, I hoped Blessed Mother would come to our rescue and had the Fatima Statue in our local Parish Church. Thank God the crisis passed. I had made enquiries about Heralds bringing the Fatima Statue to our town in 2017, and found out they had been called to other countries where they were in demand. They were expecting to come back to UK at some point, I don't know if they have returned yet. I did however read to my dismay, they had split into two groups; because some of them wanted to ask God to end the Popes life when his controversial papacy began to be evident. That is all I am willing to share of the not so holy hope some of them had. The second group seems please God to be on board with the Church, and no doubt praying and working for the restoration of our beloved traditional Faith. In my contact with them, they were staunch Catholic. But I got scared by the extreme actions of the splinter group, and I am too scared to write what I read about it all. Please God the second group are back on track again. Of course the devil would play havoc with a group of men who are dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima. We can pray for the Heralds of the Gospel.
Is anyone else having trouble seeing the photos padgraig posted or just me? My laptop is a garbage Acer and was a lemon from day 1 so it might be the problem Thanks.
I can't see the photos. My laptop isn't an Acer. My guess is that we haven't enabled something which would enable us view the images - something like Flash. Whatever the reason, the thought of searching through my computer settings to figure it out is enough to persuade me that I can live without seeing the photos.
This is interesting. Crying statue of Our Lady - reminds me of Akita. There, the statue cried 101 times. Cardinal Ratzinger / Pope Benedict said Akita and Fatima are related. In a few days we will have the 101st Fatima Day...
As I mentioned this phenomena seems to be going on round the world at the moment. I am waiting to get a little bulletin on this. But have had problems opening it. It is interesting that there are such gremlins trying to post on this.
this photograph of Our Lady crying was taken at the Pittsburgh Marian Conference in Sept., 1993. My husband and I saw this statue very close up and it surely was crying View attachment 7828 View attachment 7828 . At the same conference was the bleeding crucifix that came from Fr. Jozo in Medjugorje which we also saw.
This was taken by a good friend who lives in Hanceville, AL. It was taken at a Rosary prayer group. Our Lady bowed at Her Sons name during the Hail Mary.
These were taken by a very good friend who would never lie. He was very excited when he saw Our Lady bow her head so the picture was taken at a different angle, but no matter what the angle, there is no angle that would make Her Head bow like that. But, you do not have to believe it if you choose not too.
