One person was describing her experiences there. It's been talked about again right now.

It was a good interview

lmaopml

Yes, it went well for her. She 'dominated' that's for sure.....even Ryan was subject to how the interview went..lol...she quite frankly translated that she 'prefers' to speak to people first ( share her story - can't blame her for that I suppose ) and then is happy to answer questions...


...which she did.

I think there was nothing 'new', but defo she has a countenance that most would envy...she is sharing something that is hopeful, but not specific...

..and specific would help. Not 'evidence' just not so much mysterious..

I'm open minded on med. with reservations along with a few blushes. I know a lot of people travel and have a renewal of faith that is sometimes lovely, and very beneficial to them, ( and there is no currency that buys that ) and sometimes approaches obsession with a 'place'..if I'm honest.

I liked the lady on the 'Late Late', I think it would be hard not to like her simplicity..

What strikes me is the constant smiling. Who do you know that smiles all the time? It's not natural. Consider the countenance of the little shepherd children of Fatima:



It just doesn't feel right that she should be smiling the whole time.

That might be something to do with the mental illness.

What mental illness? Are you being sarcastic?

I would wonder about the origins of the smiling. When I think of the saints, I don't believe they went about smiling the whole time. There is something just not right about it. It looks forced.

No I am not. Is this not the woman that admitted she had some mental problems during the interview?

Lucia, who died only recently, was always smiling in photos as an adult. And Mother Teresa was a dab hand at flashing her pearly whites too. Here's Vicka's own explanation for her happy countenance

Other languages: English, Deutsch, Español, Français
Vicka: ... When you look at Our Lady the beauty of her face is so wonderful that words can't describe it. She herself has said that she is beautiful because she loves. This is the way we must be beautiful - above all, beautiful inside - so that our faces can radiate this beauty too... Unfortunately, we hide our faces behind many types of masks; we hide everything inside.. We have to begin to love to be beautiful. With all our hearts we should begin by loving those in our homes, our family and then the others around us. True beauty is spiritual beauty.

No Catholic (or any Christian for that matter) should be buying/reading the Sunday World.

It's an immoral rag. By buying it, one is supporting the company which produces such filth so they can produce more filth so that more people can be reached. It's not good. Catholics should only buy good Catholic newspapers.

Although the preference to buy a Catholic newspaper is ever in my mind when purchasing, this statement of yours really does prove the gullibility of some in society. Not than I am not gullible. I fall victim to it just like others. But when its obvious it is obvious. Not all Christian papers, be they Catholic, protestant give 100% truths in their reports.

If Vicka is in the Sunday world which is normally a bad paper, it is obvious that at least some light has shone through it and that the Holy Spirit is reaching out to its readers who may not all be Catholic.

Remember what the Gospels said, that Jesus did not come to heal those who do not need it. But to those who need it.

Wondering what people's opinion is on the idea of the 'nine secrets'. I know that she talked about one on the Late Late, the third one I think, but this to me is a little fishy. Why all the secrecy? If the virgin Mary has a message, why not just tell us what it is? It seems that they are deliberately creating suspense to keep people interested, as if writing a film.

A cynic might say that they are also trying to win some visitors from Fatima, which of course only had three secrets. Nine is, of course, three times better than three.

It smacks of Gnosticism.

Or three times worse.
