I just read about this on SD site. I never heard of it before. Really very beautiful and in many ways I find similarities to what is happening now in Medjugorie. In fact this apparition was initially condemned and now is found to be authentic. So perhaps, this is another message in and if itself ? In any case, do your self a favor a read the messages given - very beautiful and powerful. http://spiritdaily.com/lipaapproval.htm http://spiritdaily.com/lipavideo.htm http://www.marianmessenger.ph/index...-apparitions-of-our-lady-to-teresing-castillo
This is soooo wonderful and soooo timely on the feast of The Holy Name of Mary. I praise God for this approval and its implications. NOW...CAN WE PLEASE HAVE THE 5TH DOGMA???? PLEASE!!!!
I think this is HUUUUUUUUGE Great News. Thank you Blessed Mother on your Name's Feast day! And THANK YOU to the Bishop of Lipa. To approve these apparitions is NOT politically correct in our days but he dare to fulfill his obligation. PRAISED BE GOD! and we pray with renewed hope that it will soon be officially declared by the Church, MARY, MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACES.
It reminds us that we should not be scandalised by the Power of Satan. He is like a dog on a tight chain. As Mike wrote it has specail implications vis a a vis Medugorje. I am so glad the visionary is still alive to see this day..and all the nuns of Lipa.
St Athanasius, 'The Father of Orthodoxy', is a good examply of this kind of persecution.He fought the heresy of Ariansim. WAS EXCOMMUNICATED BY POPE LIBERIUS. Driven from his see by a heretical usurper and died a very bad death after being sent into exile by the Byzantium Emperor.
A few months ago one of the priests told everyone that I was the best Eucharistic Minister at the monastery and people came up and told me that. This morning I was heavily criticsed by one of the priests who told others that I was, 'Far too casual', in being a Minister. Well they can't both be right. It seems to me we are a Church of sinners and while being open to learn from what other say our main point of reference should be in discovering through prayer what God thinks. St Phillip Neri used to ask his Novices to the graveyard and tell the graves what and the dead thought about this. The nnovices used to say that the dead remained silent. The next night he used to tell the novices to visit the graveyard and tell the dead what wonderful guys they were. When he reutrned they told him that the dead still remained silent. Well , he told them be like the dead regarding the opinions of others. Listen to the voice of God and what He has to say about things.
I had read of this Apparition before, and it made me cry to see how cruelly the sisters, the reverend mother and the Auxiliary Bishop were treated. It is so shocking to read in the articles how Bishops at the time were threatened with excommunication if they did not say these apparitions were false. They confessed on their deathbeds that they did really believe in Our Lady appearing in Lipa. Who could impose their will on the Bishops in that so called investigation and force them to deny what they really believed. How scarey. Oh Mary, Mediatrix of all Graces, Lady of all Nations; pray for us your poor children. Lest we find ourselves under obedience to darkness. God preserve us.
Come, O Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of Your faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit, O Lord, and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. God our Father, pour out the gifts of Your Holy Spirit on the world. You sent the Spirit on Your Church to begin the teaching of the gospel: now let the Spirit continue to work in the world through the hearts of all who believe. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. You, O Lord, will open my lips. And my tongue shall announce Your praise. Incline unto my aid, O God. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end . Amen. Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array? My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God, my Saviour. For He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is Mighty hath done great things for me and Holy His name! And His mercy is from generation unto generation to them that fear Him. He has showed might in His arm and has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their seat and has exalted the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things and the rich He has sent empty away. He has received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy. As He spoke to Our Fathers, to Abraham and to his seeds for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in battle array? O Mary, conceived without sin. Pray for us who have recourse to you. Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, our mediator with the Father, Who has been Pleased to appoint the Most Blessed Virgin, Your mother, to be our mother also, and our mediatrix with You, mercifully grant that whoever comes to You seeking Your favours may rejoice to receive all of them through her. Amen.
The Apparitions in Lipa seem to me to have been closely linked, both in time and content, with the apparitions of Our Lady of All Nations in the Netherlands.
Does anyone know what this quote about the Lipa apparitions from "Miraclehunter.com means? "The 2015 approval became the first time that a bishop has issued a judgment reversing a statement of the Vatican." What is this "statement of the Vatican?" I don't believe the Vatican ever officially investigated the Lipa apparitions. I can't seem to find it.

There was a guy from the Vatican who put the boot into these apparitions big time, very forcefully indeed , he went through the Phillipine Bishops like a knife through butter. as far as I remeber he was the Apostolic Delegate from Rome. I can't believe he did this without authorisation from Rome itself. This was around the same time as they putting the boot , with the same force into poor old Saint Padre Pio. I sense a very great evil here. People in Rome with a Satanic agenda of their very own. Masons. They are there still.
So there was no official Vatican pronouncement or condemnation then? It was more of a "muscling" of the local authorities to keep quiet. I just want to maintain obedience.
The way the Church works it I believe is that the decision is left to the local, 'Ordinary' (Bishop) it was his decision ot make. But he was bullie dinto making the , 'Right', decision.
I have been mulling and praying over all this. I think the tming of all this is not an accident. God is showing us that the same thing that happend in Lipa is about to happen in MEdugojre only on a much bigger scale. But that just as Lipa was vindicated in the end, so will Medugorje be.
6 June 2015 But, we’re at this point of making decisions … and then they will be announced… but only some guidelines will be given to bishops on the lines they will take.
