(Vatican Radio) Wednesday 5th of September marks fifteen years since the death of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
To mark this occasion Veronica Scarisbrick brings you an interview with someone who personally knew her. He’s Monsignor Leo Maasburg who recently wrote a book drawn from the years spent with her as spiritual advisor. The title of the book is ‘Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a Personal Portrait: 50 inspiring stories never told before” and is published by Ignatius Press.
The stories Monsignor Maasburg , who’s currently National Director of the Pontifical Missionary Societies in Austria, recounts, date back to his years as a young priest and shed light on some of the lesser known aspects of Mother Teresa, including her travels from India to Rome, from Moscow to Cuba, to New York.
“…for Mother Teresa the poorest of the poor were not only the people in Calcutta..find them in your own family , love them and put your love for God into a living action for them…. I believe she has told us a lot about what Christ meant when he said: ‘love one another as I have loved you’…”
An Oklahoma Satanist is planning to pour fake blood over a statue of the Virgin Mary in front of a Catholic church on Christmas Eve.
Adam Daniels told the Oklahoman that he will perform the act outside St. Joseph’s Old Cathedral in Oklahoma City.
“The purpose of the blood is to add another layer of corruption to Mary, which is an emblem of the Catholic Church,” he said. The statue will also be covered, said Daniels, “in sulfur powder and ash.”
The display is entitled “The Virgin Birth is a Lie.” Daniels believes that the virgin birth of Jesus is a fraud. He said that his action is in reaction to protests by the Catholic Church over a Black Mass held in Oklahoma City last year, along with protests at a Baphomet statue unveiling last year and at a book signing by Daniels.
“They continue to protest just about everything we do both here in Oklahoma City and nationally,” he said. “This is a tit-for-tat.”

In November of 2015, it was alleged that a consecrated host (communion bread wafer) from Saint Francis Xavier Church in Kearns, Utah, appeared to be bleeding. A thorough investigation has concluded that the host did not bleed, but the change of appearance in the host was due to red bread mold. The consecrated host has been disposed of in a reverent manner, as is required.
The work of an investigative committee proceeded as follows:
At Saint Francis Xavier Church in Kearns, Utah, on the weekend of Nov. 14-15 of 2015, it was alleged that a host consecrated a week earlier at the 1:30 p.m. Mass on Nov. 8 appeared to be bleeding. The host was publicly displayed at the Parish Masses. In the wake of the excitement generated by the premature and imprudent public display and veneration of the host, an ad hoc committee to investigate the matter was appointed on Nov. 19, 2015 by the Administrator of the Diocese of Salt Lake City, Monsignor Colin F. Bircumshaw. This ad hoc committee included individuals with expertise in Catholic theology, canon law, molecular biology and ministry.
The committee took into careful consideration all the events as reported by Reverend Eugenio Yarce, Pastor at Saint Francis Xavier Church in Kearns, Utah, and the numerous narratives offered by parishioners. A crucial element of these events was the fact that the host in question was left unprotected and unattended in a dish of water from approximately Nov. 8 – 14, 2015.
In an expeditious but careful manner the committee enlisted the services of a competent and credible scientist to conduct controlled testing of the host. Great care was taken to ensure the reverent handling of the consecrated host throughout the scientific examination. Upon completion of the prescribed tests, the scientist, with the assistance of a blind observer, concluded that the observed change in the host could be satisfactorily and conclusively explained by natural causes, namely the growth of what is commonly known as “red bread mold,” or red bacteria, most likely Neurospora cressa or Serratia marcescens.Due to the public display of the host, a number of reports, complete with digital photographs and videos, rapidly began circulating in both the local and national media. Predictably, these reports led to rash speculation about what caused the change in the color of the host.
In the history of the Church, by Divine Providence, miracles have taken place. The sole purpose of a miracle is to bring about good. False claims of miracles, on the other hand, cause harm to the faithful and damage the Church’s credibility. While not dismissing the possibility of miracles, understanding the potential harm of hastily jumping to conclusions should cause all the faithful, lay and clergy alike, to act with great prudence. The guidance of competent ecclesiastical authority is required when confronted with phenomena like that reported from Saint Francis Xavier Parish last month.
Eucharistic Miracle in “Maria mother of the Church” church in Mexico at 3:00 pm on July 24, 2013. Just before the beginning of a Eucharistic Congress.
The Holy Host is bleeding, and it is all around the media. There are many people going to see it.
Fr. Dolores (Lalo) the pastor of the church is the one who saw the Eucharistic Miracle.
Update: 7/29/13 – 10:45pm
I just found a video of this miracle on youtube and you can actually see the host bleeding and a Priest wipes the blood that is coming through the monstrance!!! This is amazing to see. Please watch the video below and send this out to everyone you know. What a great gift our Lord has given us! My Lord and My God.
A Mexican priest is claiming that, after hearing the voice of God, the host which he had just consecrated began to bleed. The bloody host was available for adoration for some time, at which point the Archbishop ordered the Host to be reposed until further investigation.
Here is what happened:
“This is a time of great blessing for this community and for the whole world.” says Father Jose Dolores Castellanos Gudino of the phenomenon that occurred in his parish yesterday after blood flowed from a consecrated host.
Amid songs, clapping, tears, long lines and cell phones trying to capture the moment, thousands of faithful Catholics and non-believers alike visited the Parish of Mary Mother of the Church located in Colonia Jardines de la Paz (Guadalajara, Mexico) to witness the alleged miracle.
A flash and a voice
It was 12:00 on the date when the pastor was making his daily prayer before the Blessed Sacrament when suddenly saw a flash and heard a voice that instructed him:
“Chime the bells to summon everyone, pour out blessings to those who are present, and all day. Take your small tabernacle from private worship and bring it to the altar of the parish, place the largest monstrance next to it, and do not open the Tabernacle until three in the afternoon, no sooner, when I will perform a miracle in the Eucharist. The miracle to take place will be called the “Miracle of the Eucharist in the Incarnation of Love Joined With Our Mother and Queen,’ you will take the sign of which I speak, and you will display it.”
Afterward, “the voice” told him to tell “the apostles” (the priests) to help all souls in their conversion and fill them with blessings.
Father Lolo–as his parishioners know him–said he could not utter a word to that voice that spoke except, “My Lord, am thy servant, I will do thy will.” His voice breaking with emotion that he could not conceal, the priest continued narrating what happened:
“I did as I was ordered, I asked them to open the doors of the church, it was about half past two, and I said to sound the bells as I was told. I took from my small private chapel this humble wooden tabernacle, I put it on the altar, also got the monstrance as I was ordered and at about three in the afternoon people were gathered in prayer to the Blessed Sacrament. When I asked if it was already three in the afternoon and everyone told me yes, I went to open the tabernacle, and the wafer consecrated through our Lord Jesus Christ was bathed in blood.”
Celebrate every July 24th:
The father explained that what Jesus wants is to worship his body and blood bound to His Blessed Mother and that every July 24 we will remember the Eucharistic Miracle of the Incarnation of Love Joined with Our Mother and Lady.
“I heard (the voice) tell me that a niche for the adoration of souls would be established in this community, and that if at any time they want to perform studies that require a part [of the host] that they may do all the studies they want.”
He added:
“He (Jesus) is here present and I pass on to you only what I heard, together with those who saw what I saw.”
The ElInformador.com.mx adds:
After the Mass, past 8:00 pm, Father Dolores Castelllanos’s secretary said he was unavailable to give an official statement, to say whether there had been contact with the Archdiocese of Guadalajara, or explain what would happen in the days after this incident.
During the first day of public viewing of the “bleeding host,” the disorder in the church was apparent, to the extent that the parish authorities advised cancelling the exposition–at times it was only possible to focus on the yelling and pushing of adults and children who wanted to come to the altar and be witnesses to what Father “Lolo” had seen.
The makeshift security guard of Mary Mother of the Church chose to place a screen on which were projected images of the “bloody host,” but over time this only served to further captivate those who had heard the rumor, like Mrs. Clara Aparicio, who appeared before the “Eucharistic Miracle” trusting that the asthma with which she suffered would disappear.
“I did not doubt what I had heard so strongly, so clearly. Now I show it as I was told,” said the priest. At the stroke of 9:00 pm, the guards closed the doors to hundreds of worshipers leaving no opportunity to observe the “bloody wafer,” saying that the viewing would resume on Thursday at about 8 a.m.
I leave this up for discernment and have read in other sources that the Bishop has launched an investigation into this phenomena and also has Fr. Lolo undergoing a set of tests to determine if what he saw was from God.

In honor of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, [December 12th] here are seven amazing facts about the image of Our Lady as seen on Saint Juan Diego‘s tilma that defy scientific explanation and argue in favor of its miraculous origin and divine provenance.
The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe first appeared on December 12th, 1531. According to the account, the Virgin Mary told Juan Diego, an Indian convert, to tell Bishop Juan de Zumárraga to build a chapel to her Son. Bishop Zumárraga asked Diego for a sign as proof that it was truly the Mother of God. Our Lady instructed Diego to gather some roses in his tilma [popular piety attests that Mary arranged the roses in the tilma herself] and present them to the bishop. As Diego did this, the roses fell to the floor, revealing the miraculous image.
1. There is no under-sketch or under-drawing on the image.
Infrared photography has demonstrated that there is no sketching on the image whatsoever. Dr. Philip Callahan, a research biophysicist from the University of Florida explains: “It is inconceivable that an artist in the 16th Century would paint a portrait without first doing a drawing on it.” Making an under-sketch prior to painting a portrait goes back to antiquity. The existence of such an exquisite depiction on textile made from cactus fiber is inexplicable given the lack of sketching.
2. The image has lasted and shows no signs of deterioration.
Juan Diego’s tilma is made of a rough cactus fiber which normally disintegrates in 15 to 30 years. Yet, the image of Guadalupe has remained intact for 484 years without fading or cracking. Moreover, it was subjected to candle smoke for many years, which should have accelerated the process of deterioration.
In 1778, a worker accidentally spilled strong nitric acid onto a large portion of the image. To everyone’s astonishment, only slight stains appeared which can still be seen in the upper right side. Additionally, in 1921 a bomb concealed in some flowers was placed on the altar directly under the image. When the bomb detonated, the marble altar rail and windows 150 feet away were shattered, a brass crucifix was twisted out of shape, but the image was left unharmed.
3. The stars that appear on the image are astrologically correct.
In 1983 Dr. Juan Homero Hernandez and Fr. Mario Rojas Sánchez discovered that the stars on the image correspond precisely to the constellations of the winter sky on December 12th, 1531. Incredibly, the constellations are shown as viewed from outside the heavens, in other words in reverse. It is as if we have a picture from someone looking at it from outside the universe, it is a snapshot of heaven and earth from the very moment that Juan Diego saw Our Lady.
Also, the constellation Virgo, representing virginal purity, appears over the area of Mary’s heart signifying her immaculate and virginal purity, and the constellation Leo the lion is over her womb. The lion represents Jesus Christ, because Christ is the lion of the tribe of Judah. This emphasizes that Christ the King is present in Mary’s womb. The perfect placement of stars in their various constellations illustrates the infinite intelligence behind the miraculous image of Mary.
4. Mary’s eyes are astonishingly life like.
Jose Aste Tonsmann, a Peruvian ophthalmologist, examined Mary’s eyes at 2,500 times magnification. He was able to identify thirteen individuals in both eyes at different proportions, just as a human eye would reflect an image. It appeared to be the very moment Juan Diego unfurled the tilma before Bishop Zumárraga.
Dr. Jorge Escalante Padilla a surgical ophthalmologist considers these reflections to belong to the type which have been described by Cherney on the back surface of the cornea and by Watt & Hess at the center of the lens. Such reflections are very difficult to detect. Dr. Escalante also reported the discovery of small veins on both of the eyelids of the image. In the 1970s, a Japanese optician who was examining the eyes fainted. Upon recovering he stated: “The eyes were alive and looking at him.” [Janet Barber, Latest Scientific Findings on the Images in the Eyes, page 90.]
5. Mary assumes a different ethnicity depending on one’s vantage point.
It is remarkable that at one distance Our Lady appears to be a Native American, but at another distance she appears of European descent. This miraculous feature is meant to show the unity of the two peoples and the two cultures in light of the true faith of Christ.
Dr. Philip Callahan explains that the image achieves this effect of appearing to be different colors at different distances by a trait that is only seen in nature:
At a distance of six or seven feet the skin tone becomes what might best be termed Indian olive, grey green in tone, it appears somehow the grey and caked looking white pigment of the face and the hands combines with the rough surface of the un-sized hue, such a technique would be an impossible accomplishment in human hands, it often occurs in nature however, in the coloring of the bird feathers and butterfly scales and on the elytra of brightly colored beetles.
This change in color at different distances occurring in nature happens on the tilma in a miraculous way. The pigment combines with the rough surface of the cloth to impart alternating colorations. No human artist can duplicate this effect. Such evidence strongly suggests the image was fashioned by a divine hand.
6. The image’s temperature is always 98.6°F; the temperature of the human body.
The sixth miraculous feature concerning the image is its temperature. It is a demonstrable fact that no matter what the surrounding temperature, season, or weather, the image itself remains at an even 36.5°C or 98.6°F, the normal temperature of the human body. [Janet Barber, The Tilma and Its Miraculous Image.]
What is more, Carlos Fernandez del Castillo, a Mexican gynecologist, after carefully examining the tilma and the image of the pregnant Madonna concluded that the dimensions of Mary’s body were that of an expectant mother at the end of gestation.
7. How the native Indian population interpreted the image of Our Lady.
The indigenous Indian population recognized in the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe specific signs that Christianity was superior to other belief systems, including their own. As recorded by Father Harold Romm in, Am I Not Here, page 56:
The Indians saw something in the image of Our Lady that the Spaniards did not comprehend. In that period, the Indians did their writing in hieroglyphics, so to them the image was a hieroglyphic letter. The fact that the natives read the image is most important in understanding the purpose of Our Lady’s apparitions. To the Indians the image depicted a beautiful lady standing in front of the sun, a sign to them that she was greater than the sun god Huitzilopochtli whom they worshiped; the crescent or the moon beneath her feet showed that their moon god Tezcatlipoca was less than nothing since she was standing on it; the stars they thought so much of were only a part or portion of her mantle. At her throat was a brooch with a small black cross in the center reminding them that this was the emblem of the Spanish Friars and there was one greater than she.
The intelligence that constructed the image of Guadalupe conveyed exactly the message that the Indians needed to hear and to see to abandon their false notions of God and their idolatrous practices. It is infinitely insightful, well beyond anything humans could imagine. Reading the image caused millions of Indians to convert to the Catholic faith.
For more about the miraculous aspects of the image of our Lady of Guadalupe see this video, a transcript of which is available here.
Remember…
If we do not believe in miracles, we do not ask for them. If we do not ask for them, they will not be granted.
We are not alone: the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant are closely knit, interwoven in charity. We on earth must intercede for each other and believe and ask for the intercession of the saints.
Today is the Feast of St. Juan Diego, of Our Lady of Guadalupe fame. Mexican, native-American St. Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin (+1548), was granted an apparition by Our Lady Virgin Mary four times on the hill of Tepeyac. He had been declared Venerable in 1987. St. John Paul II decided to beatify him without the approved miracle. He was beatified on 6 May 1990.
Under normal circumstances, for a beatification there must be a miracle which has been rigorously studied and approved by the Congregation for Causes and Saints accepted by the Holy Father. St. John Paul bypassed the process. Pope Benedict and Pope Francis have done the same occasionally… well… Francis pretty often, as it turns out.
There was a miracle for Juan Diego’s canonization, however. It is quite a story.
Juan Jose Barragan Silva, of Mexico City, was a drug addict from his adolescence. He and his mother had been abandoned by his father.
On 3 May 1990 – note the date – Juan Jose, after getting drunk and high on marijuana with a friend, went home and started to cut himself on the head with a knife. His mother, Esperanza, tried to get the knife away but failed. She implored him to stop abusing himself and give up the alcohol and marijuana. He shouted that he didn’t want to live any more so loudly that the neighbors came to see what was going on, but the door was locked.
Juan Jose threw himself off the balcony of their second floor apartment (in the USA this would be counted as the third floor).
In that moment, Esperanza had a “flash”. Knowing that Pope John Paul was to be in Mexico for the beatification of Juan Diego, she called on Juan Diego to intercede for her son.
Juan Jose fell about 10 meters and landed close to a friend of his, Jesus Alfredo Velasquez Ramirez, who saw him land on his head on the concrete pavement. Juan Jose was bleeding copiously from the mouth, nose and ears. They covered him, thinking he was dead. He suddenly sat up, rose and went to the stairs leading to his apartment. On meeting his mother coming down the stairs he asked his mother’s forgiveness. They embraced and remained that way for another ten minutes or so before the ambulance came.
During the ambulance ride Juan Jose said he had lost his vision. He was able to say a Our Father. He was registered at Sanatorio Durango at 1830.
The medical prognosis was very pessimistic.
The doctor, Juan Homero Hernandez Illescas, later explained that it was already incomprehensible that he was still alive.
They did tests immediately and found that Juan Jose had a fracture of the epistropheus, a large hemotoma in the right temporal-parietal region extending to the lateral part of the neck and lacerations of the muscles about the parapharyngeal space, fractures from the right orbital to the clivus, intracranial hemorrhages and air in the cranial cavity and in the cerebral ventricals.
Fr. Manuel Ponce gave him the last rites under the impression that Juan Jose would soon be dead.
He continued to live.
Fore the first few days Juan Jose was sedated. On the fifth, doctors found that his pupils were symmetrical and reactive and that he could move his arms and legs. On the sixth day he was released from the ICU to a regular ward. On the seventh day his feeding tube was removed. He was released on the tenth day after the fall. Subsequent tests by neurologists and other specialists showed a total recovery. Juan Jose subsequently gave up his drug habit and started school.
It was determined that his change of condition came on 6 May at the very time John Paul II beatified Juan Diego.
For a miracle of curing to be authenticated as such, the cure has to be sudden, complete and lasting. It has to be inexplicable by science. It has to be demonstrated that the venerable or blessed was invoked in a particular way. There are usually spiritual effects, such as conversion of life of the person cured and also witnesses.
The decree concerning this miracle was promulgated on 20 December 2001. Holy Father Pope John Paul II canonized St. Juan Diego on 31 July 2002.

Testimony of apparitions of Jesus, Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, Saints and Angels of Heaven, that Edson Glauber, a visionary from Brasil has since 1994., in which is reveiled the heavenly oper of the Three Sacred Hearts, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immacolate Heart of Mary and the Chaste Heart of Joseph. In the time from 29th november 2015 to 3rd december 2015 Edson came for the first time to Finland, to the only Marian Sanctuary of Finland, Stella Maris. A great grace for the nation of Finland, that was consacrated to the Immacolate Heart of Mary, by the bishop Teemu Sippo, on the 21st of may 2015.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjda7ZoTjgs
Visionary
Edson Glauber was a 22-year old student of economics at the time of the apparitions. He is a kind, stable, and calm, showing himself to be a remarkably balanced person, according to Mons. Rene Laurentin (Dictionary of the Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary p. 950).
Messages
Mary speaks to the truth of the apparitions of some previous apparitions at Ghiaie di Bonate, Italy, where she introduces herself as the Queen of the family. The young man had never heard of her, nor knew the place. With the spiritual director, an Italian priest, had the opportunity to visit Ghiaie di Bonate, with the permission of his bishop of Manaos. In Italy, in different places, had apparitions of Mary that confirmed his appearances Ghiaie di Bonate and insisted on the recitation of the rosary and penance to save the world ill because of unbelief. There is a great emphasis on prayer, the Holy Mass, confession and communion.
Miracles and signs
Many spiritual fruits of conversion and change of life are associated with this appearance. Thousands of people come every day to Itapiranga. They drink water from the healing fountain. Some doctors have studied the healings there and then sent the results obtained to the Apostolic Prefecture of Itacoatiara.
Approval
Bishop Jorge Eduardo Marskell, S.F.M. of Itacoatiara (1975-1998), remained at a distance from the reported healings and other spiritual fruits and apparently was also unfavorable to the apparitions, according to Mons. Rene Laurentin (Dictionary of the Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary p. 950).
After five years of general and pastoral verifications, the current bishop of Itacotiara, Archbishop Carillo Gritti, I.M.C.,(2000 – present) publicly celebrated Mass in the place of the apparitions, moreover, in noting the spiritual fruits of his faithful, he worked to contruct a sanctuary. He has met on several occasions with Edson Glauber and other times his mother, Maria do Carmo.
Archbishop Carillo Gritti, I.M.C. of Itacoatiara (2000 – present) approved the supernatural character of the apparitions in a statement issued on May 31, 2009: “CONSIDERING THESE OPINIONS, TESTIMONIES AND DEVELOPMENTS AND pondering all this IN PRAYER AND THEOLOGICAL REFLECTION, EVERYTHING LEADS ME TO FINDING THAT THERE IN APPEARANCES Itapiranga a supernatural origin.”
