She is a mother crying when she sees her children threatened by a spiritual or physical evil." - Pope John Paul II at the dedication of the Shrine of Our Lady of Tears in Syracuse, Sicily, 1994. "In the entire history of the Catholic Church, there may be no greater occurrence of weeping statues and other physical signs of God's presence through the Blessed Virgin Mary than what took place on the outskirts of our nation's capital in 1991 - 1993. Generally associated with a gentle and humble parish priest, Father James Bruse, who also received stigmata wounds, the phenomena included hundreds of statues, crucifixes, even glass images, which wept tears and blood before thousands of astonished witnesses. Some statues added or rotated colors. Others appeared to be alive. Uncounted numbers of rosaries changed color. Miraculous healing occurred. Some people reported seeing strange colors in the sky, or the "miracle of the sun," while others noticed the scent of roses where there were no flowers or other reasons for such a fragrance. Powerful conversion experiences abounded. James L. Carney, an eyewitness/parishioner of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Lake Ridge, Virginia, records the miraculous phenomena as they unfolded in this journal-style account. In addition, he presents other famous statue weeping episodes, a detailed rebuttal to skeptical challengers, and offers a thoughtful and persuasive analysis as to what Our Lady's tears may mean for the human race in these troubled times. Also included are beautiful, full-color photos of weeping Madonnas and a prayer by Pope John Paul II to Madonna of the Tears. Mr. Carney is also the author of Mystery Stories: A Journey Through the Rosary (2000)." - from the rear outer cover. N° de réf. du vendeur 004713
