Have you ever read Alan Ames books on the Life of Jesus? They are beautiful and easy read like Cora Evans. It's a great way to say your daily Rosary by thinking of Jesus's life stories of daily living.Eugenianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-69188719149946692392022-06-04T02:34:40.406-04:002022-06-04T02:34:40.406-04:00I feel the same, especially after reading the grea...I feel the same, especially after reading the great Poem of the Man-God by Maria Valtorta Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-59233494258628601582019-10-08T11:12:46.919-04:002019-10-08T11:12:46.919-04:00I have read "The Refugee from Heaven", (...I have read "The Refugee from Heaven", (I can not recall now how I found about it.) and every time I read some chapters again, I have the same feeling when I first read it. I get so overwhelmed and feels excited, I can only attribute it to God's presence. I value the book and her other books so much, I feel they will be an important document in the Church's development.<br /><br />As to the question about the the "sorrows of Mary", I believe as a Catholic that Mary was conceived without sin, hence she had been spared of the evils, anxieties and pains of sins. So until she asked Jesus to allow her to feel the grief and sorrow of his agony and crucifixion, she did not experience what mankind does as consequence of the original sins of our first parents.<br /><br />Apart from the revelations to Eva, our community has been trying to live the "dead to self" thing as the physical indwelling of Christ. And I am not new to mysticism as most of our community members stay because they have personally experienced or have encountered the Almighty God through their mystical experiences and healing- mind, body and spirit. Yes, God is alive and the Holy Spirit is always at work!<br /><br />I am more on believing the private revelations to Eva, though her interpretations may not be perfect. God bless.<br /><br />EmileTHE LIFELONG LEARNERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187162226399855418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-30732275206166209792017-01-25T15:28:22.054-05:002017-01-25T15:28:22.054-05:00What are the Seven Sorrows of Mary and why couldn&...What are the Seven Sorrows of Mary and why couldn't she have experienced them after Jesus had given her His suffering heart?Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839986668903271138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-91817234629076953072016-04-15T17:33:10.811-04:002016-04-15T17:33:10.811-04:00A previous comment mentioned Gershwind syndrome. G...A previous comment mentioned Gershwind syndrome. Gershwind's is a controversial diagnosis; it may not exist at all, and a recent review concluded that the evidence for a link between temporal lobe epilepsy and hyperreligiosity isn't terribly compelling. Materialists crave a biological "cause" for religious belief. Don't fall for it; there is an agenda. We've already got some calling for religious belief to be classified as a mental illness. <br /><br />I've experienced hundreds of temporal lobe seizures in my life and let me reassure anyone reading that a seizure is in no way similar to a mystical meditation. A seizure is a chaotic, disordered event. Nothing rational, insightful or meaningful can come of it. It's the cognitive equivalent of vomiting. As for hypergraphia, check any epilepsy forum and you will immediately notice the poor spelling. Communication is impaired. Cora's writings would not be intelligible and pristine with uncontrolled epilepsy.<br /><br />Also, from reading the article, there is no reason to believe Cora had a diagnosis of Epilepsy.

We were able to join the prayer group with Cora's sister Ruth Spaulding. All the rest of them were our Mother's age. Our Mother had died in 1965.<br /><br />We would pray, do the Spiritual Exercises of the Denial of the Five Senses, and then listen to Ruth reading sections of Cora's writings. My sister and I prayed for two and a half months if this is from God. We were 17 and 18 years old. A lady, that we babysat their 7 children, would tell us the story that she heard that day. We would hurry home and then to her house to listen to the story she had heard from Ruth that day. They met once a week. As we stated going to College, we were able to join the prayer group.<br /><br />The books were basically the Rosary. It makes the Rosary beautiful to say. The Rosary is the weapon against Satan.<br /><br />Sincerely, Eugenia CurrlinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00362863703762368429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-60799360524177576402016-02-01T10:40:26.028-05:002016-02-01T10:40:26.028-05:00It is good to see this story on your site.

The Church acknowledges the fact that almost all private revelation is subject to the interpretive efforts of the person receiving it. "Direct" revelation, that is a direct message from heaven that is NOT subject to any interpretive efforts, is in fact quite rare.<br /><br />So it is that with any private revelation that one will occasionally find difficulties or inconsistencies. Even in cases of obvious error, it is not necessarily that the person was not inspired or guided by heaven, but that their humanity and human weakness and limited human capabilities fell short and misinterpreted what was shown or revealed to them.<br /><br />May God bless all who visit here,<br />Glenn Dallaire <br />Glenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-44813436159732062952016-01-27T05:20:37.794-05:002016-01-27T05:20:37.794-05:00I'm sure those investigating her cause are con...I'm sure those investigating her cause are considering it, however this woman exhibited many of the features of hypergraphia a neurological disorder associatied with temporal lobe epilepsy, hyper religiosity and Geschwind syndrome. <br /><br />Hypergraphia is a behavioral condition characterized by the intense desire to write. Forms of hypergraphia can vary in writing style and content. It is a symptom associated with temporal lobe changes in epilepsy, which is the cause of the Geschwind syndrome, a mental disorder.[1] Structures that may have an effect on hypergraphia when damaged due to temporal lobe epilepsy are the hippocampus and Wernicke's area. Aside from temporal lobe epilepsy, chemical causes may be responsible for inducing hypergraphia.<br /><br />It would explain the odd section on Mary which worried the commenter above.

Its on page 246. Right after that Jesus gives Mary His Heart so that during His passion she can experience the sorrow and grief of losing Him. Its very strange.<br /><br /> If that is true, then everyone who honors the 7 sorrows of Mary is honoring a lie. <br />I am confusedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233237209177841826.post-10210606044637922322016-01-26T10:54:52.091-05:002016-01-26T10:54:52.091-05:00
