APPEARANCES OF THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY

"In the XXI century, of the space science, nanotechnology, molecular biology swarming   still remain typical superstitious beliefs of the Middle Ages.  That is  there are Simplistic people, living day to day, paralyzed with terror and paranoia, looking for answers to their miserable existence and inevitable death, no matter if the answer is ridiculous or absurd, if they can lower their extreme anxiety, then they accept it and they are willing to pay whatever. They want to hear that they are special, that are infinite, that an Almighty Being Heavenly host,  reward them and spoil them forever. The idea that we are only a mere biochemical machine that has its days numbered, destroys  their egos to them. Better a lie that makes us laugh than a truth that makes us cry. "

This is one of the comments that can be read in hundreds of pages related to a story that appeared long time ago: It is the apparition of the Virgin Mary in... a sandwich?!.

It is the story of Diana Duyser, 52, a resident of the U.S. city of Hollywood, north of Miami, which came as many other days to make a sandwich with white bread and yellow cheese, cooking it without oil or butter. "After taking a bite I noticed the image. It stared at me and my first reaction was fear, but then I realized how special it was. I put it in a plastic box with cotton and I have kept it with respect all these years. In addition, it has never shown signs of spoiling ".

These were her words before GoldenPalace.com, the famous casino 'on line' made every effort to acquire "this sculpture." His managers said in a statement that they plan to use the sandwich to raise money for charity. On eBay, people bet for it until $ 22,000. Well, back to the idea of ​​the comment from the beginning, that even with some hard words, it is brought  here to say what it is expressed here. A drawing, after all, and even more of these characteristics and size, is simply a set of spots, that is,  they are different "painted areas" that recreate the image in our brain that we know of something that can be a car, mobile phone or a woman's face.

As can be seen in the sandwich, the face is simply a set of no more than 10 spots, placed in a specific way. At the end of day across the world, millions and millions of sandwiches are made and if that is multiplied by the last 20 years, calculate the number of toasts that have been made... Could it be that if every day all we investigate the  sandwiches on the planet, we could find a virgin, my dog ​​Keisha, the Xbox logo, a boy dancing, the @ symbol, a golf stick, the number 23 and if I hurry, the Firefox logo?. They are simply coincidences due to the large universe of elements.

Likewise, if we investigate all the clouds that there are, certainly we see different pictures. All we have ever seen pictures in the clouds: faces, cars, boats, etc. That we just simple see, looks like the Holy Virgin Mary is an application we do of a known woman's face, and makes part (for some) of a tradition and religious belief. So I think that if that snadwich had fame was sold because of all the sandwiches that are made in the world that has happened that has formed a known image of our history, it seems perfect. The human being is full of incomprehensible acts are rare as those (in the same way that also would sell for the same price if it was the Firefox logo). What I do not understand is that people might think it was a divine act of appearance. Always with all due respect to believers, but... Do you really think that the Virgin Mary would show up on a burnt toast and greasy oil instead of anywhere else more suited to her beauty  and holiness? In short, what is certain is that the owner of that toast won a lot of money by selling one of thousands of toast that she has made throughout her life. We must congratulate her for it!

Another miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary was on the wall of a house in repair, in the Colombian town of Tumaco. The homeowner discovered surprisely the image of the Virgin and the fact remained silent until he decided to comment 24 hours later with several neighbors on the neighborhood, who immediately reported the find to other people connected to the church. The mechanic, an expert with over 20 years experience in repairing refrigerators, said he decided to repair and paint his home and for now the wall of the room where the statue of the Virgin is, will keep in the same state as he considers a godsend the presence of the mother of Christ in his humble home. It is a fact that is unprecedented in the Pearl of the Pacific, say the believers and the curious who hit the door of his residence in order to observe directly the appearance of the image of the Holy Virgin Mary.

According to much evidence, the Virgin never has appeared in the same place, nor to the same group, or one person, nor her appearances las a specific time. Sometimes two minutes, sometimes an hour. She has not appeared when people have desired. Sometimes, the people pray and wait, but the Virgin does not appear but then she shows up unexpectedly and without warning. She also has appeared in one and not all. If she had promised an appointed time, all we had known when she would appear. Nor she has always appeared a special type of person, but several of different ages, stature, race, education, and lifestyles.This may suggest that the appearances are not the product of the imagination. It depends neither on time nor place, nor desire nor the prayer of pilgrim or visionary, but rather the will of  who permits it.

And, as usual, we hear people talk of supposed miracles, divine images,crying statues and many other ideas that the group of mortals assumed to be true and evidence of supernatural situations. The apparitions of the Virgin is no exception. What is striking is that the events announced by the Virgin and just as everything the Virgin declares to whom she appears, have been fulfilled and many events have to be done, according to the faith of these believers.

So how  the Catholic followers: "The more we open ourselves to grace, the more we discover the reality of the supernatural and the nearness of God, Mary and the Saints. But we also know that we must be cautious in our judgment, and an abundance of false appearances. So the faithful must be discerned with the help of the Church:"Prove all things and hold fast what is good.(I Thessalonians 5.21).
