O Mary, except for God, no one knows of your suffering. Your soul does not break; it is brave because it is with Jesus. Sweet Mother, unite my soul to Jesus, because it is only then that I will be able to endure all trials and tribulations, and only in union with Jesus will my little sacrifices be pleasing to God. Sweetest Mother, continue to teach me about the inner life. May the sword of suffering never break me. O pure Virgin, place courage into my heart and guard it. Amen
Throughout history, there have been inumerable reports of the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary. These apparitions have come in many forms and have been witnessed by a wide variety of people: men and women, children and adults, Christians and atheists. People from all corners of the globe have made claims to have experienced the presence of the Mother of God in their midst.
The earliest known claim was from St. James the Greater who saw her while he was in preaching on the banks of the Ebro River in Saragossa, Spain in 40 A.D. Today, apparition reports occur more frequently. Although not officially approved by the Roman Catholic Church, visionaries in Medjugorje, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Naju, North Korea (amongst others) currently distribute messages attributed to the Blessed Virgin.
The most famous apparitions have been those reported in Guadalupe, Mexico (1531), Rue du Bac, France (1830), Lourdes, France (1858), Fatima, Portugal (1917), and Medjugorje, Bosnia-Hercegovina (1984).
The Catholic Church has been very cautious to approve purported miraclous events. In fact, in the 20th Century, of the hundreds of public claims, there have been only 12 approved apparitions (6 fully approved by the Holy See) and a handful of others that have not received an official pronouncement but have been approved for faith expression at the site.
Idependentemente da maior ou menor veracidade
de alguma das aparições de Nossa Senhora,
a Mãe de Jesus, ocupa um lugar muito importante
em muitos corações.
Um certo dia um homem esteve aqui Tinha o olhar mais belo que já existiu Tinha no cantar uma oração. E no falar a mais linda canção que já se ouviu.
Sua voz falava só de amor Todo gesto seu era de amor E paz, Ele trazia no coração.
Ele pelos campos caminhou Subiu as montanhas e falou do amor maior. Fez a luz brilhar na escuridão O sol nascer em cada coração que compreendeu
Que além da vida que se tem Existe uma outra vida além e assim... O renascer, morrer não é o fim.
Tudo que aqui Ele deixou Não passou e vai sempre existir Flores nos lugares que pisou E o caminho certo pra seguir
Eu sei que Ele um dia vai voltar E nos mesmos campos procurar o que plantou. E colher o que de bom nasceu Chorar pela semente que morreu sem florescer.
Mas ainda é tempo de plantar Fazer dentro de si a flor do bem crescer Pra Lhe entregar Quando Ele aqui chegar
Tudo que aqui Ele deixou Não passou e vai sempre existir Flores nos lugares que pisou E o caminho certo pra seguir
Tudo que aqui Ele deixou Não passou e vai sempre existir Flores nos lugares que pisou E o caminho certo pra seguir
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water? Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your Baby Boy has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand? Did you know that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod? When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo
The blind will see. The deaf will hear. The dead will live again. The lame will leap. The dumb will speak The praises of The Lamb.
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation? Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations? Did you know that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.
