"The Sun Dances" At the end of the apparition, "the Blessed Virgin opened her hands which threw beams of light on the sun." Instinctively Lucy cried: "Oh! Look at the sun!" No one was thinking of the sun, which had not appeared all the morning. But at the child's exclamation, all raised their heads to see what was taking place. Then this vast multitude was able to contemplate at leisure for about twelve minutes, a grand spectacle, stupendous and truly unique. Immediately the clouds opened wide, exposing an immense surface of blue. In the cloudless area the sun appeared at its zenith, but with a strange aspect. For though not a single cloud veiled it, yet while being very bright, it was not dazzling, and you could look straight at it at will. Everybody looked in surprise at this new kind of eclipse. Suddenly the sun trembles, is shaken, makes some abrupt movements, and finally begins to turn giddily on itself like a wheel of fire, casting in all directions, like an enormous lamp, great beams of light. These beams are in turn green, red, blue, violet, etc., and colour in a most fantastic manner the clouds, trees, rocks, the earth, the clothes and faces of this immense crowd, which extends as far as the eye can see. And while the breathless crowd contemplates this amazing spectacle, the children see beside the sun three scenes already described. After about four minutes the sun stops. A moment later it resumes a second time its fantastic motion, and its fairly-like dance of light and colour such as could never be imagined in the most gorgeous display of fireworks. Once more, after a few minutes, the sun stops its prodigious dance, as if to give the spectators a rest. After a short stop and for the third time, as if to give them an opportunity of examining the facts carefully, the sun takes up again, more varied and colourful than ever, its fantastic display of fireworks, without a doubt the most glorious and most moving that has ever been seen on this earth. All through these unforgettable twelve minutes, during which this unique and gripping spectacle lasts, the enormous multitude is there in suspense, immovable, almost in ecstasy, breathless, contemplating this moving drama, which was seen distinctly within a radius of more than twenty-five miles. This was the great miracle promised, which took place precisely at the time and place fixed, and which was to compel men to believe in the reality of the apparitions, and to obey the message which Our Lady of the Rosary brought them from heaven. |
The Fall of the Sun The sight of this wonderful miracle had already well disposed all hearts and excited in them the most noble religious sentiments of lively faith in the power of God, of sincere adoration of His infinite majesty, and of absolute trust in the message of Fatima, so majestically confirmed. But all this was, as it were, a preparation for the total renewal of souls. It was the terrible fall of the sun which was the culminating point of the great miracle, the most awful moment, and the most divinely moving, which finally brought many souls completely back to God by a sincere act of contrition and love. Indeed in the midst of its crazy dance of fire and colours, like a gigantic wheel which from spinning has swung off its axis, so now the sun leaves its place in the firmament, and falling from side to side, plunges zigzagging upon the crowd below, sending out a clear impression of the scene at the end of the world foretold in the Gospel, when the sun and the stars will fall in disorder upon the earth. Then from this terrified crowd there suddenly escapes a terrible cry, an immense shout, betraying the religious terror of souls preparing seriously for death, confessing their faith and asking God pardon for their sins. "I believe in God the Father Almighty," cry some. "Hail Mary!" cry others. "My God, mercy!" implore a large number. Many of the people falling on their knees in the mud, recite in a voice choking with sobs the most sincere act of contrition that has ever come from their hearts. Finally, stopping short in its vertiginous fall, the sun climbs back to its place, zigzagging as it had come down, and ends by gradually regaining its usual brilliance set in a limpid sky. Moving detail: this apocalyptic scene full of majesty and terror, ended with a delicate gift, which shows the motherly tenderness of the Heart of Mary for her children. Though all had been drenched to the skin, each now had the pleasant surprise of feeling quite comfortable, his clothes being absolutely dry.1 It is reported in Holy Scripture that when Moses came down from Sinai, his face was still quite radiant with traces of the Divine colloquy. At Fatima also this vast multitude that had just witnessed wonders worthy of Sinai, departed gradually, happy, restrained, recollected, all radiant still from the Divine contact which had just renewed their souls in a new baptism of faith, confidence, contrition and love, whose fiery impressions will remain forever ineffaceable. 1This wonderful fact already authenticated in the official canonical process is also confirmed by Marquis da Cruz, member of the Academy, who made a personal investigation of this point. |

St. Bernadette - Incorruptible (Lourdes, France)
|
St. Bernadette Soubirous
|
The Song of Bernadette (1943)
|
| In 1858 in the grotto of Massabielle, near Lourdes, France, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, a 14 year old peasant girl. She identified herself as The Immaculate Conception. She gave Bernadette a message for all: "Pray and do penance for the conversion of the world." The Church investigated Bernadette's claims for four years before approving devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes. Lourdes has since become one of the most famous shrines, attracting more than a million pilgrims each year. There have been thousands of miraculous cures at this shrine. | A Medical Bureau was established in 1882 to test the authenticity of the cures. The doctors include unbelievers as well as believers and any doctor is welcome to take part in the examination of the alleged cures. As many as 500 medical men of all faiths or no faith have taken advantage of the invitation each year. Many books and movies tell the story of Lourdes. Even Hollywood made a movie of this remarkable event in the 1940's entitled "The Song of Bernadette" which won six academy awards. |
No one leaves Lourdes without a gain in faith. Moral and spiritual cures are more marvelous than physical cures. Some go to Lourdes with lifetime prejudices, yet their minds are cleared in a sudden manner. Frequently skepticism gives way to faith; coldness and antagonism become whole hearted love of God. Again and again those who are not cured of bodily pain receive an increase of faith and resignation -- true peace of soul. The story of two outstanding miracles that occurred at Lourdes are told below. |

I've heard a lot of people say that Catholics worship Mary and the Saints. In our defense, we Catholics do not worship Mary and the Saints. Yes, we do have prayers to the Blessed Mother and the Saints. Would you not want others to honor your mother? So then, wouldn't God want you to love and honor His Mother too? And wouldn't God want you to also love and honor His Angels and Saints? We Catholics do not see the Blessed Mother as a goddess. Yes, we do believe that She is the Queen of Heaven. Is not Jesus, Her Son, the King of Heaven? Therefore, it makes sense that we call Her the Queen of Heaven. Do you not believe that God gives each of us a Guardian Angel? Do you not believe that God cares enough about you to have one of His Angels help you against the "spiritual forces of evil" (Ephesians 6:12)? This is why I honor St. Michael the Archangel and all of God's Angels and Saints. I believe that St. Michael and my Guardian Angel have helped me many times. |

Some charge Catholics with idolatry, because we have statues and pictures of Jesus and Mary and the Saints. I could say the same about them for hanging a Monet or Picasso on their wall or for having any other piece of art or any decoration for that matter that they have in their homes. There's a big difference between worshipping a golden calf and having a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Statues like the golden calf are worshipped as actual gods. We Catholics have pictures and statues of Jesus, The Blessed Mother, etc, not to worship the picture or statue itself as god but to honor God, His Mother, and His Angels and Saints. The same as you do when you visit your mother's grave or hang pictures of your family. You don't think of the grave or picture as being your mother. You are just honoring her memory. |

| Visionary Nancy Fowler (Conyers, GA) | |

"He found that Nancy had a normal healthy brain, but when she claimed to be having an apparition of the Virgin Mary or Christ, her brain would, during those relevant times, go into a state of 4 hertz and 3 hertz delta brain activity respectively. This is brain activity normally associated with deep sleep or coma. Yet she was clearly not in a coma, as the video recordings showed her at these times to be wide awake and communicating sophisticated messages to the scribe next to her of what she was seeing and hearing. Dr. Sanchez claims that there is no known precedent anywhere in the world where this has ever happened and what Nancy was performing was a physiological impossibility. When Nancy was tested, on another occasion in Dr. Sanchez's clinic with a member of a religious order who also claimed to be having visions, Nancy and this person had the same inexplicable brain activity at the same time while they were having the same visions. When both were saying they were seeing Jesus, the delta activity was 3 hertz. The recurring pattern was 333 (a numeric symbol of the trinity). When both were saying they were seeing the Blessed Mother, the delta brain activity was 4 hertz. When they both reported seeing Satan, the EEG was registering 6 hertz. The recurring pattern was 666." |

Following the experiment and consulting with the other attending physicians, it was determined that the average weight loss of each person was ¾ of an ounce. Dr. MacDougall concluded that a human soul weighed 21 grams. |
Dr. MacDougall conducted the same experiment on 15 dogs. The experiments showed no change in weight following their death. MacDougall concluded that this may signify only humans have souls. |
