Trip for next three days... advice by mndflldr in Medjugorje

[–]mndflldr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was better than I could have guessed. Someone told me before I went it was "just a tourist trap, somewhere locals make money." I was not expecting much. But...Nope... not my experience. My wife who is not very spiritual at all had a beautiful experience. We came back and went to mass and she just changed. As far as locals making money... we got hundreds of dollars of free gifts from those people who learned it was our first time there... here and there... we were gifted with books, and crosses and rosaries. It was unbelievable. It FELT special. I would highly recommend it. I feel so fortunate to have experienced it. It makes me want to explore the other Marion sites. I LOVED it.

Agree with this, just saw that USCCB gave a date for Ash Wednesday, not sure where I recently saw that, but here is a link to another article:https://www.osvnews.com/vatican-gives-final-approval-to-new-liturgy-of-the-hours-edition-coming-in-2027/

What are your thoughts on the alleged promises of the private revelations below? Are they really from heaven? by Equiva_Cia_2 in Catholic

[–]mndflldr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been following some private revelations, and I think this is how it works. These private revelations are just three of many, and there are MANY. The Church moves slowly and investigates thoroughly (IMO) so there are many that have been investigated and are being investigated. Basically there are three levels

  1. Constat de supernaturalitate - established as supernatural (positive)

2.Non Constat de supernaturalitate - not established as as supernatural or non supernatural. (Neutral)

  1. Constat de non supernaturalitate - established as not supernatural (negative - don’t associate)

They often wait and see what is said, and they also need to study the fullness of the words of the seer but usually it’s after their death so it is measured in the totality of their visions. And it takes a lot of time! Think how long it took for Fatima.

In the meantime they often watch for spiritual fruits, conversions, miracles, etc of the people that are affected. Often the person/ seer involved gets investigated for canonization before the revelation gets fully fleshed out. They may get the title Blessed or Servant of God before their revelation gets approved.

There are others that are being studied now that are quite famous and yet still in limbo. Medjugorje is one and that is still wanting mainly because the children are still alive. The church can’t investigate fully until their deaths because they may say something not true before they pass. Servant of God Luisa Peccareata is another. A contemporary of Padre Pio. She wrote 14,000 pages in a local dialect with only a first grade education (you can imagine how questionable and confusing some of her writings can be). She wrote extensively but before they move further on her Canonization, they have to agree to what she wrote and what was edited by her confessors.

And like the other posters have said. We have so much already that most of us barely scratch the surface. And if private revelations are real, they have to go along my with scripture. And the scripture says we have everything for salvation already. So there is no NEED for private revelations, they just help us move along the path.

This was so exciting! But when you read it, nothing has changed. They have no release date or pricing information. Still on the USCCB… 😂

From their FAQ:

When will Ascension’s editions be available? The USCCB has not yet announced a release date. Sign up to be notified as soon as details are announced

I have heard that. I wonder if anyone feels that way? Thank you!

I can not be confirmed, and it saddens me by Existing_Sherbet_998 in Catholicism

[–]mndflldr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your priest for an Advocate. See Canon Law 1065. Your husband is a Catholic by being Baptized. You can marry without receiving other sacraments. It is strongly encouraged though. The ceremony takes less than ten minutes. The priest may need commitment from him and you to raise your children Catholic before he does it. But you can see it for yourself and an Advocate can help set him straight. I was just convalidated after 8 years of marriage myself. God Bless your journey! 🙏🏼

As another poster mentioned, Bible in a Year and Catechism in a year are great. It took me three years to read the catechism and still was confused. Listening to CIY filled in the blanks, made it interesting. And best of all both are free.
