Let’s go to the mailbag.+

There is the “Tear of Joy” ministry, based on an image of the Blessed Mother, one that reportedly brings comfort and perhaps even healing.

Message: “Abundant Graces flow my children. My precious little ones, as you see the sun going down for the day, you know the warmth and brightness of the sun will no longer be with you. Unlike the sun, my precious little ones, even at night abundant graces flow down upon you when you call upon me, and with these graces, I will bring warmth and brightness to your hearts. Call upon me and allow me to bring the warmth and brightness of my motherly love that I have for you, to your hearts. I love you my precious little ones and bless you in My Son’s name.” 

As we explained a few months back, a viewer named Arrow Osborne sent us a photo of Our Lady, explaining, for our discernment, that Mary somehow materialized on an “instamatic” photo. It occurred near Cincinnati last September 8, as someone was taking pictures of balloons released at the home of a woman celebrating Mary’s official birthday, in connection with a visit from the mystic, Carmelo Cortez, of the Philippines (known for rose petals on which holy images seem to materialize).

Certainly a welcome message, at any rate.+

We’ll keep the next one anonymous for obvious reasons:

“I just read your article about tech and the three a.m. witching hour. My brother is a priest and when he was in the seminary in Pennsylvania he was awoken around three a.m. by a strange sense someone was in the room. He saw at the foot of his bed a large black-shadow thing, bigger than a man but shaped like one. He said it seemed about seven-feet tall. He wiped his eyes, blinked, and sat up in bed hoping he was imagining it, but it was still there. He said he stared at it for a solid minute. Said it was a solid black mass and he felt profound sense of evil radiating from it. He lay back in bed under his blanket and said a decade of the Rosary and when he sat back up it was gone. My brother is a dynamic priest who has brought many lost souls to God during his years and I believe Satan was trying to intimidate or scare him from his calling. My brother says he wishes he could show everyone what he saw at the foot of his bed because everyone would believe in the existence of evil.”

“Hi everyone,” writes another. “I received news of three statues of Our Blessed Mother shedding tears in the Philippines at the beginning of August, 2020. First was Mary Mediatrix of all Grace, on August 3. [For cautious discernment; see “tweets” below.]

“As well, two other images in a private outdoor chapel in Bacolod began shedding tears. One started at 2 p.m. on August 6 (feast of the Transfiguration and also the first atomic bomb that went off in Japan in World War II).  It is a statue of Our Lady of Fatima. The second image is a painting of Our Lady which began the next day, on August 7. Let us pray and console Our Lady and intercede for the Philippines and for our world!”

Again, use discernment. Because a statue exudes water, blood, or oil does not make it holy, but paranormal. It is through fasting and prayer that we differentiate as to source.
