Believers Flock to 'Crying' Virgin Mary

sermonindex Nov 27, 2005

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Carrying rosary beads and cameras, the faithful have been coming in a steady stream to a church on the outskirts of Sacramento for a glimpse of what some are calling a miracle: A statue of the Virgin Mary they say has begun crying a substance that looks like blood.It was first noticed more than a week ago, when a priest at the Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church spotted a stain on the statue's face and wiped it away. Before Mass on Nov. 20, people again noticed a reddish substance near the eyes of the white concrete statue outside the small church, said Ky Truong, 56, a parishioner.Since then, Truong said he has been at the church day and night, so emotional he can't even work. He believes the tears are a sign.

He believes the tears are a sign.Just wondering, what kind of sign? It's easy to say it's a sign, but on what bases? on what truth?

I believe this may be a sign from God but that people are mis-reading it.It may be a sign that Mary is crying in Heaven because Roman Catholicism worships her instead of only God.

Very interesting. It makes me wonder at how all along that Mary has distracted the Catholics from Christ. This is not a slam on Mary, but the beliefs of the religion that are leading so many to hell. Oh, that they would look from the weeping Mary (If it realy is weeping!) and to the weeping Christ in heaven, who longs for their souls!!2Thess 2:9-10 ...Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Earnestly tenderly, Jesus is calling...God bless...
