St. Peter, First Pope Comments

Simon Peter or Cephas, the first pope, Prince of the Apostles, and founder, with St. Paul, of the see of Rome. Peter was a native of Bethsaida, near Lake Tiberias, the son of John, and worked, like his brother St. Andrew, as a fisherman on Lake Genesareth. Andrew introduced Peter to Jesus, and Christ called Peter to become adisciple. In Luke is recounted the story that Peter caught so large an amount of fish that he fell down before the feet of ...

Saint Rock, er, Saint Peter, are those heavens stilly pouring forth truth after fiery truth as yore; what keys lack these of earthen flesh to seize their hearts and fall to their knees weeping in blazes of kinetic hoary Angelic glories? Oh unobstructed views such as those of Enoch transubstantiating; Jesus transfiguring upwards in luminescent brilliant transparency; Ezekiel roaming within the sapphiric, emeraldic chariot smiling four-wise to & from Yahweh; John welcoming the Throne-sourced springs through his fingers by the Trees of Twelve Leaves...Saint Rock, er, Saint Peter, please rebless, reconsecrate Saint Bernadette Soubirous at first attacked by her bishop, and laugh at this lot who pooh-pooh Mary at Medjugadore...by the Lamb of Holy Knock, by the three crows that flew from the cock, well, make up a more heavenly prayer, and pray it we pray, till all some day we're with you in Yahweh's House to stay, Amen

David, one thing i know about medge is that their is a strange desire for signs and wonders. St. John of the Cross (1542-1591), is one of the greatest writers on mystical theology in the history of Catholicism, and was made a Doctor of the Church in 1926. His teaching is clear, apparitions and other apparently supernatural phenomena can very definitely occur if a sufficient desire for them is present.

Monsignor Bishop Andrea Gemma is the most senior exorcist in the Vatican and the only offical exorcist in Italy. You would do well to heed his opioion and respect the comission who have already conducted investigations in medge headed by Cardinal Ratzinger now Pope Benedict XVI. The Vatican's current commission is ongoing, they will be delivering their findings in the coming year, I suggest you withhold your judgment until those whom the authority has been given (ie. the heads of the Roman Catholic Commission of Faith)from the Holy Sprit to discern such matters.

In response to David Lyons -
Do not worry David, Our Lady will fight for her interests, as she did in Lourdes. Our Lady of Medjugorje is the one standing against the Dragon in this final battle, and against all other false apparitions. Just pray the Rosary every day, and read her messages, your faith will be great, and you will understand what is happening, and you will be protected. And pray for the Priests and Bishops who speak about Our Lady in such a way, many of them will make it through the coming tribulations by martyrdom. Read Our Lady of Fatima 3rd Secret.

Today I read an article in The Irish Mail about retired Bishop Andrea Gemma who said that Medjugorje is ' a diabolic rip-off ' and 'The whole sham is the work of the devil'.Now I am an ordinary person and far be it for me to contradict a Bishop of the Church but I can say this.A year ago one of the visionaries from Medjugorje can to the small Irish village of Abbeylara on the bequest of the local priest and during mass the sky over the church was filled with strange unknown lights and not only were these lights seen over the church in Abbeylara but they were also seen over every church in the surrounding areas.Some very highly skeptical people I know had a change of heart on seeing this.Could 'false seers', as Bishop Gemma called the visionaries of Medjugorje , organise this?
Yours sincerely,
David Lyons.
