So many of us question, how can we know? If only we had a messenger from heaven... Yet so many of us search for the answers in the news that only increasingly tells us that on one hand it is really bad and none of us are doing enough yet on the other hand it isn't as bad as one thinks and if we all just became vegetarians, recycled and praised whomever we think that "god" is in the fresh air on some vacation sebatacle we are sure to find some sort of inner peace. Yet so many of us long, so many search, in the face of death we all cry out. We cry out as the ones we love leave this world and many among us are so painfully uncertain that what their love ones will face is nothing.
I am curious why this is alarming when the same people claim, before they experience life in the trenches that there isn't a God more of an essence maybe and there isn't a Supreme being capable of causing death that inevitable causes pain. Concluding that if there is pain there is no God if there are ways to live by that are unpleasurable there can not be a God. Yet so many find themselves feeling the effects of unemployment, less food, depression, uncertainty, addiction and disease and start to wonder, IS THERE ANYBODY LISTENING?
Why is it then that we aren't all talking about Mary's apparitions, why isn't there a buzz about Mary? Children, Men and Women of many faiths, no faith, barefoot and lonely in the wilderness are telling us she has a message, they heard her, they saw her and she is talking to us- She the mother of Jesus. She has told others secrets before that have unfolded before the visionaries very eyes, they have lived the massacre of Rwanda, they have heard the horrors of WWII yet we turn a deaf ear.
Most of us would rather read some over published piece of garbage like, The Secret, that tells us to focus more on ourselves. If we had all the answers would we be crying out? There are no atheists in a fox hole.
