Given our knowledge through the testimony of exorcists as to how the fallen angels detest and fear Mary to the point of refusing to name her, the chances that one would spontaneously induce the production of the words “Mary most holy” ( “Maria santissima”) in blood on the seer’s body would appear to be next to nil.Įven still, Gisella’s stigmata, her “hemographic” blood images, or bleeding statues should not, on their own, be taken as indicative of the visionary’s sanctity such as to give her carte blanche with regard to all future activity. The idea that fallen angels could be at the origin of the messages nonetheless seems extremely unlikely, given their theological content and exhortations to holiness. Of course, these could conceivably be fraud or even demonic interference, as could the weeping of the statue of the Virgin and images of Jesus in Gisella’s and her husband, Gianni’s, home. See the pictures taken from her apparition website, which say Siate testimoni (“be witnesses”), Abbiate fede (“have faith”), Maria santissima (“Mary most holy”), Popolo mio (“My people), and Amore (“Love”). Thirdly, the messages have frequently been accompanied by visible phenomena, photographic evidence found in In Cammino con Maria, which cannot be the fruit of subjective imagination, notably the presence of the stigmata on Giselle’s body and and the appearance of crosses or religious texts in blood on Gisella’s arms. Secondly, several of the overtly prophetic messages would appear to have been fulfilled: we notably find a request in September 2019 to pray for China as the source of new airborne diseases. Adam Skwarczynski, the diaries of Bruno Cornacchiola.). Firstly, the content of Gisella’s messages converges very closely with the “prophetic consensus” represented by other contemporary sources, without any indication of her awareness of their existence (Luz de Maria de Bonilla, Pedro Regis, Fr. There are several major reasons for focusing on Trevignano Romano as a potentially important and solid prophetic source. And the local Bishop of Civita Castellana appears to have been quietly supportive of Gisella Cardia, having given access early on to a chapel for the overwhelming influx visitors who began to gather in the Cardia’s house to pray, once news of the apparitions began to spread. While such a foreign Nihil obstat does not, on its own, constitute in situ diocesan approval of the apparitions, it is certainly not insignificant. A Nihil obstat was recently granted by an Archbishop for the Polish translation of the second of these, In Cammino con Maria (“On the way with Mary”) published by Edizioni Segno, containing the story of the apparitions and the associated messages up until 2018.
PENTECOST COUNTDOWN TV
The apparitions have already been the subject of an Italian national TV broadcast during which the seer behaved with remarkable calm in the face of some heated criticism from panelists in the studio toward her and two books. They began in 2016 following her visit to Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and purchase of a statuette of Our Lady, which subsequently began to weep blood. Children love a great story and enjoy expressing their own insights as they begin to understand God’s truths.The alleged Marian apparitions in Trevignano Romano in Italy to Gisella Cardia are relatively new.

You’ll find excellent lessons about obedience, patience, faith, miracles, and unity, just to name a few. Be sure to rehearse as many fine details as possible with your kids as you go through the countdown to Pentecost and work on your fun projects. It describes the dramatic and undeniable launching of the Church of God, the very Church we strive to emulate today. In my opinion, the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost may be one of the most exciting stories in the Bible. Go forward another 49 days, or 7 weeks, and you will come to the 50th day, the Day of Pentecost. Begin counting on the day of the Wave Sheaf Offering (verse 15).The Wave Sheaf had to be offered before anything of the harvest could be eaten (verse 14).This Sunday must be during the Days of Unleavened Bread. That makes the day after the weekly Sabbath a Sunday.That Sabbath is the weekly Sabbath inside the Days of Unleavened Bread (verses 4-8), not an annual Sabbath. The Wave Sheaf is to be offered on the day after the Sabbath (Leviticus 23:11).
PENTECOST COUNTDOWN HOW TO
Once you know the rules, even a child can figure it out! Here are some basic rules outlining how to count Pentecost that I learned from one of my Foundation Institute classes:

Rather, God tells us to calculate that date every year.

Unlike the other 6 annual Holy Days, Pentecost does not have a fixed calendar date. It is also called the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Firstfruits. Pentecost means fiftieth day in the Greek and is the third annual Holy Day listed in Leviticus 23.
