Does any one have EWTN? I'm isolated. Haven't heard.

-- Anna <>< (flower@youknow.com), March 14, 2003.

What?!? No way.

Way?

-- Emerald (emerald1@cox.net), March 14, 2003.

I coudn't verify it. Where did you hear it Theresa?

Mother Theresa was an inspiration for me. She lived her catholic faith without antagonizing others.

-- Elpidio Gonzalez (egonzalez@srla.org), March 14, 2003.

She means Sister Lucia of Fatima, Elpedio...

My wife and I have thought for years that her passing would be significant of something. Somehow and in someway.

-- Emerald (emerald1@cox.net), March 14, 2003.

Has it happened to you that when you are thinking about two people at the same time you say somthing mixed up? I looked for Sister Lucia, not Mother Theresa. I know she died about the time Princess Diana did. Thanks for reminding me Emerald.

By the way, Emerald. My most sincere condolence for Larry. How close was he to you?

-- Elpidio Gonzalez (egonzalez@srla.org), March 14, 2003.

Thanks Elpidio.. very close; he knew me since I was a kid; he was like that extra uncle if you know what I mean. He and I used to work together in business later; I was his employee and later he was mine, back and forth. We were very close friends the last ten or so years. He was single, 59 years old, born in a work camp for displaced persons after WWII in Germany. He had a difficult life but kept the Faith.

He was one funny guy. He was a sort of uneducated genius. We used to get into these philosophical and theological debates all the time, heated and nasty but all in good humor. He swore up and down that "the abomination of desolation" was nuclear war, because it referred to "A-bomb a nation", and even when I was driving him back and forth to the hospital a couple months ago he was claiming that in the latter days, "men throwing their gold into the streets" referred to people buying SUV's an luxury cars. lol!!

Every now and then he would toss you this piece of genius thought, though.

I actually felt good about the way he passed; in that he just really seemed to be ready, aware and in order. I knew it was going to happen.

I looked up the EWTN website for news and found nothing pertaining to this question. As far as I have heard/been able to discover Sister Lucia is still alive.

I was under the impression that Sister Lucia was told by the Blessed Mother that she would live to see the Triumph of Immaculate Heart.

> "I was under the impression that Sister Lucia was told by the Blessed Mother that she would live to see the Triumph of Immaculate Heart."

That's what I heard, and since she has NOT died yet, that very well may happen.

Help the Immaculate Heart to triumph in the world, by praying your Rosary for peace, and the spread of devotion to our Lady's Immaculate Heart.

Yeah, I heard she was told she'd either die right before, or live to see the IH of M's triumph. Plug "Father Gruner" into a search engine, but be warned, if you have any interest whatsoever, it's very easy to become obsessed. I just came out of the house after studying for fifteen months, but I can say I'm a lot less naive than I used to be. Just remember to never lose love, faith, and above all hope.

-- Patrick Toal (bver7@hotmail.com), April 02, 2003.

About a year ago, our pastor warned parishoners to have nothing to do with Fr. Nicholas Gruner and the Fatima Crusader apostolate.

I believe this warning was handed down from the bishop; I really don't remember.

I had enjoyed ordering good, hard-to-find books from his apostolate, however, something obviously went awry.

Pax Christi.

I think Father Gruner has been mercilessly beat up over nothing. Or something; depending on how you look at it.

-- Emerald (emerald1@cox.net), April 03, 2003.

I haven't heard anything of her passing away.But I do have a comment on Father Nicholas Gruner.He is a terrific priest and he like many exceptional priests before him is being persecuted.Like St John Bosco,Saint Padre Pio if your a priest these days and you stand for tradition their bound to be scourged by the modernists.Just listen to the news you'll know Father Gruner is right and the others are wrong.Facts are facts you can't deny them.

-- Laurie Lavallee (Fourhope@aol.com), April 04, 2003.

Of course sister Lucia is still alive.She hasn't witnessed the consecration of Russia yet.

-- Darlene Theresa MacKinnon (neil.mackinnon@ns.sympatico.ca), April 21, 2003.

Of course, Sister Lucia did not witness the consecration of Russia. At the time of the consecration, she was within the cloister of her Carmelite convent in Coimbra, Portugal, so she could not have witnessed it. She acknowledges, though, that it has indeed taken place. [Any rumors/claims to the contrary come from hell.]
