Eddie Stones, Clonfert, County Galway

Here is a miracle prayer. Say it once daily for three days and promise publication.

dear Heart of Jesus in the past I have asked for many favours. This time I ask for a special one (mention here). Take it dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken Heart where your father sees it.
Then, in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour not mine. Amen.

I've heard of this guy. He was a normal guy with a wife & five kids. He ran a butcher shop in Clara Co. Offaly. One day he & his wife sat down to watch a DVD on Medjugorje and the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to them. Later on out Lord appeared to Eddie and gave him his mission. He was to give up all the he owned and move to Clonfert to set up a pilgrimage centre. They struggled for many year to get by.

He has a tiny house in Medjugorie too, I went to it when I was there a few years ago. He has a prayer room in it that is opened to the public. Its a very peaceful place made of stone, with a water well in it. Id recommend a visit for anyone who heads over to Medj.

Simply because of the part in bold, I cannot believe this guy is doing the Lord's work. Mary is dead, so any appearances of her are actually demons. It's possible the guy means well, but if so, he is truly deceived and thinks he is following the Lord when he is actually a tool of Satan. Satan infiltrates and poisons Christianity through spiritualism, so this is no surprise.

From a Christian point of view, isn't it possible to be in good health but be dead at the same time? Likewise isn't it possible to be 6 feet under but be alive in Christ?

John 8:51: "I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."

Catholics are told that Mary (Our Lady) did not die and that she was assumed in heaven from earth. There is no place where it says she died anyway to the best of my knowledge.

Well, she was mortal, so she died. There is no place where it says she was translated, either.

What do you make of the appearance of Elijah and Moses at the transfiguration? Do you believe that all the dead are 'asleep' now or are some of them already in communion with God? And if any are with God, then why not Mary amongst them?

I'm not disputing the charlatanism that can spring up around these things if they are allowed as possible (Medjugorge, Knock on Saturday etc.) but surely the dead can still point towards Christ for us.

Interesting thread; thank you.

Cannot get youtube here..

Looking up Eddie Stones as a young man we are counselling says he is planning to go to him and we are asking why etc.

Unsure re much of this; and it is wise to be wary and question. To test the spirits etc.

The person concerned has been seeking one "miracle worker" after another. Seeking some dramatic"cure" for his problems and getting more hurt in the process. And getting "relieved" of a lot of money are times also.

Marian visions; as Catholics we can make up our own minds whether to believe visions etc even when they are approved by Holy Mother Church.

I think it was Pamela mentioned Garabandal? As far as I can remember that was not approved? Please correct me by all means? That one to me is clearly demonic; Mary spinning backwards above the ground? Makes the hairs stand on end.

Jesus heals as He chooses and through whom He chooses. NB the figures from Lourdes are skewed as they reflect only the major physical cures recorded and tested rigorously.

Healing takes many forms; it can be emotional or spiritual; it can heal so that people can enjoy life regardless of a physical illness. And many who are healed will simply rejoice and go home. No need to proclaim it in public

The idea of being "slain in the Spirit" alarms many; google the "Toronto Blessing..."

But while being careful and wary etc, we surely need to take care also not to close any doors.

And to remember that healing lies within us all in Jesus.

On to read more the Eddie Stones...

Blessings and thanks

Interesting indeed; there were incidentally miraculous healings at the House of Prayer in Achill... One Protestant for example... and there was confusion at Medjugorje when a wee Orthodox boy was healed.

By their fruits?

I think there are big issues with Christine Gallagher. Amongst these are concerns about money and the content of supposed messages.

Link to one story here: http://www.independent.ie/national-news/prayer-centre-has-no-status-in-eyes-of-church-1303695.html

I think we are best to avoid these things and stick with time-tested and true Catholic teachings in the Catechism, Catholic Bible, and the writings of the Saints.

And he does not demand money, there is a collection like during a normal Holy Mass.

Also, the tea and biscuits are free so €2 is excellent value imo. [/QUOTE

I heard about him from a friend of mine in Dublin as i was skeptical when i heard her story. Too good to be true.

So i went to Clonfert for the 1st time as i came away impressed. That guy Ed Stones was/is very genuine as he would tell us as it is. He knew i was deaf without me telling him nor did i use sign language in the first place. Strangely, i met my 1st cousin's wife there as well. She said he mentioned in his talks re a deaf person which she realised it was me afterwards.

After that i brought few friends of mine to him few times as they were impressed like i was before. He pointed out to my friend 'where is your wedding ring' which i didn't understand at first. It was a weird experience to hear it at first but then i realised afterwards that he had an affair with a woman. He admitted that afterwards much to my astonishment and confessed it. I was told that was the gift of prophecy that Ed Stones has from time to time.

Ed Stones is at times uncanny as regards to his predictions. He once told my friend's wife that she was pregnant at that time. A friend and I never knew about it. They kept it very quiet and never told anybody even their families. It was only on that day that i found out that she was pregnant. It was an amazing experience.

Give it a try even though your'e skeptical or uncertain. Go there and see it for yourself.

Lots of people say "if there's a God why doesn't he show himself to me so I can have proof ". So God goes ahead and shows himself to someone like Eddie and says "Hi Ed. it's me, God" and you say it didn't happen. Why should we believe you? Blind faith I suppose?

I reckon your mind still closed to this- all kind of rubbish you claimed it to be.

about his little shrine in medujorje the bishop of mostar has rubbished most of what happens there he is very much against people promoting or sending pilgrims to the village so what he does there is not with the bishops approval .but i assume someone will post he the bishop is evil or mad if he is he is appointed by the pope

[/QUOTE]

I have heard of this place. I was talking to someone more knowledgeable in the area of Medjugorje as i'm not familar with the deep issues within Medjugorje itself & the local bishop.

Someone that i spoke to said that Medjugorje is discredited now than it was in the past as successive local bishop/s went against it.

After hearing from someone re Med,I would have some reservations as regards to Eddie Stones, who has a little shrine there. It would probably go against him when some people consider the pro's and con's re E Stones/Clonfert.

After all, he is only human just like ourselves as we all make mistakes from time to time. Nobody is perfect!!

ubertrad · 12-01-2011 05:37PM

I always associate the name 'stones' with unpleasant individuals, two I can think of right now.

Anyway, what's this preoccupation with eddie stones?

I did google the Toronto Blessing. I dont see the connection between it and being "slain in spirit". What do you mean?

noel farrell · 13-01-2011 12:43AM

garabandal was never approved even though the visions are finished long ago i have a feeling the never will as it could do the rc church a lot of harm. the gospa as the call her there said a man called joey who has no eyes would would get his sight . he must be well over 80 now so if it comes to pass it will be a sign from heaven . if it does not come to pass the are false prophets end of story . iam watching and waiting

georgieporgy · 13-01-2011 09:42AM

Joey from New York lost his sense of sight and smell when the associated nerves were severed in an accident at age 15. Padre Pio touched his nose during one of their meetings in the early sixties and his sense of smell was restored. P Pio said do a little penance and have a little patience and he would be fully cured. He subsequently went to garabandal (having asked P Pio if it was ok to go - he said yes). Soon after he was told by Conchita he would have his natural sight restored at the time of the great miracle. He is now 77 years old.

that's the abreviated version of a very long story.

sorry i am 3 years out but my point is some posters here will live to see if its true or false

Hi Noel. I wasn't arguing with you. just fleshing out the narrative for readers who may not be familiar with the story. To be honest I have never paid much attention to Garabandal but researching the Joey story has made me look into it more seriously.

At the risk of sounding wierd I'm willing to come out of the closet and say I think Medjugorija and Garabandal are legit. (note emphasis "I think")

However none of these things are really important in the long run. If they help us in our journey, fine. But if we have doubts about their veracity that's fine too.

newmug · 14-01-2011 02:43AM

A bit off topic, but kinda related:

With all these predictions of punishments etc, does any of you ever wonder about the mark of the beast? And the whore riding around the world on his back etc.?

I have my own theories. I think mark does not mean tattoo, or scar or anything like that, I think it means money. As in the way there used to be Deutchmarks. The Bible even says no-one will be able to trade without this mark.

Even Joe Coleman, whether you believe him or not, says there is a one world currency coming soon, and that will be a serious sign from God that end times are here. I wouldnt be surprised if that actually came about as a way to get out of the current global economic downturn.

And I think the whore on the beasts back is the internet. 90% of the time the internet is used for pornography. Its being broadcast around the world, and it makes people sin. Its the ideal beast to transport a whore!

The devil seems to have a knack of hijacking what would normally be good to his own ends. Sex is a good thing as its necessary for us as a people to survive, the internet is good as it connects people around the world, a single currency would be good as it would do away with unfair currency exchange rates and level all countries, bringing third world countries up to normal standards, but the devil takes exactly what you think is just and fair and twists it in a way that will hurt God. Thats why hes called the deceiver.

Back to Garabandal, someone said they thought it was demonic, with Mary spinning backwards and everything. It frightens the shiet out out of me too, seeing the kids praying at 90 miles an hour, the heads tilted back, the levitating, the walking backwards etc. Watch the link below, it starts scaring me from about 2:12 on!

I believe in God and love Mary and everything, but I wish God would have been a bit clearer about how to distinguish a real messenger from him from a false one

God gave us the Church to guide us. Whilst the message of Garabandal is OK according to faith and morals, the Church did not find anything to prove it was of supernatural origin. With Medjugorje, the Church has found that there is nothing to prove it is supernatural. The Vatican Commission is highly unlikely to find any different to what two successive bishops have found and discerned.

If you want something try Fatima or Guadeloupe. Or Lourdes. Or Knock.

It was bloody supernatural alright!!! The question is, was it a message from the Lord, or was it the other fella trying to trick us?

As for our church, it was set up by God, but its ran by sinners. We sinners are always getting things wrong!

My favourite apparition of Mary was the one in Cappoquin, Wexford. I saw a documentary on RTE about it once, they interviewed the visionaries in their now grown-up state (I can never find it on youtube). The honesty in their stories completely convinced me. One of the boys said they were being shown a vision of Noah's ark being built. Noah was a small stout man. He was standing there, directing operations, when along came a donkey and cart load of material. One of the wooden wheels on the cart broke. At this point, the two lads laughed:eek::eek::eek: Mary turned around and gave out to them! Typical Irish youngfellas:rolleyes:

Goldengirl120 · 18-03-2011 11:16PM

I'm very new to this, its actually my first message. But to be honest I was quite taken back by the critical response's from many people regarding Eddie Stones. I've been going to see him for many years and I genuinely can't find a fault with him, or his work, at all. Not only does he spend time with those who come for a healing, he also offers a renewal in faith!! My father was healed by him years ago, he had kidney disease, and on his first trip back to hospital, days after Eddie told him he was healed, the doctors couldn't find anything!
Admittedly I am often cynical towards some self-acclaimed 'healers', but Eddie is definitely a man who works for God

What do you mean? Eddie Stones has a healing ministry, he heals people through prayer and the laying on of hands. Often he speaks in tongues while healing, which is perfectly valid and common christian practice down through the ages.

noel farrell · 29-09-2013 08:54AM

He was laylng on hands and praying with a young couple who were living in sin as he would see it, at a 9 day novena in bagenalstown co Carlow. He told them their sin was the the cause of their baby's illness , in public . many people walked out .who is he to judge them
