Encountering Mary
Author: Sandra L. Zimdars-Swartz
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400861632
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
In the past two centuries hundreds of apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been reported, drawing crowds to the seers and the sites and constituting events of great religious significance for millions of people worldwide. Here Sandra Zimdars-Swartz provides a detective-like investigation of the experiences and interpretations of six major apparitions, including those at La Salette and Lourdes in France during the mid-nineteenth century; at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917; and the more recent ones at San Damiano, Italy; Garabandal, Spain; and Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, where the apparitions continue. Adopting a phenomenological approach to these "encounters with Mary"--one that is neither apologetic nor antagonistic--the author explores the tension between the personal meaning of the events for their subjects and the public appropriation of this meaning by a larger religious community. Along the way she examines the backgrounds of the seers, their willingness or reluctance to talk about the apparitions and their messages, the amount of emotional support they received from family and community as news of the apparitions spread, the reports of miracles at apparition sites, the reactions of local authorities, and the steps taken by the Roman Catholic Church in officially recognizing or rejecting the apparitions as worthy of belief. The author concludes with a survey of religious worldviews based on Marian apparitions, focusing especially on the now-popular transcultural apocalyptic nature of these messages to the modern world. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The Mystery of Garabandal
Author: L. R. Walker
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692297674
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
In the summer of 1961, four young girls in the small Spanish village of Garabandal began falling into rigid trances, marching backward up hills, and seemingly levitating inches above the ground. In The Mystery of Garabandal, author LR Walker recounts the strange happenings that occurred when the four girls reported seeing, and receiving messages from, the Virgin Mary. The words of warning revealed a picture of the Roman Catholic Church crisis and an earth-shattering future that would unfold in the girls' lifetime. From the beginning, the young women were denounced as demon-possessed, frauds, or simply crazy. There were also those who believed that a group of girls in a remote society had conjured up a fantasy which, fueled by the spotlight and mounting frenzy, gained a frightening life of its own. While many people wanted to discount the events due to the disturbing nature of the visions and messages, not many have thoroughly examined the events of the time-or what has happened since. Including a conversation with one of the visionaries before she passed away in 2009, as well as an interview with an original eyewitness, Walker's book lays out the puzzling pieces and allows you to consider how it all fits together. Did a portal open between worlds on a Spanish mountaintop in that summer of 1961? And if so, who opened the door--an angel of God or an angel of darkness? Or did a young girl's flight of fancy one summer night spin wildly out of control? Now that the "girls" at the center of this drama are 60-year-old women, should their claims be discredited or re-examined? Are the apparitions bogus or fast-approaching their fulfillment? Fantasy or fraud? Ghost or God? Whatever you choose to believe, you won't soon forget this truly riveting spiritual enigma.

A Walk to Garabandal
Author: Ed Kelly
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781984988034
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Kelly's "Walk" starts when the high school Spanish teacher travels to Spain seeking adventure. A man sipping wine in a bar greets him, "Americano, you're late. A few years ago the foreigners poured through here to watch the strange reactions of four little girls who claimed visits from an angel and the Virgin Mary." Kelly samples the food and wine and moves on to Pamplona where avoiding being gored by the bulls chases away all thoughts of little levitated mountain girls. Back home he learns that the Vatican takes seriously the predictions of a future horrifying warning for everyone in the world, followed in the village by the greatest miracle in history at which the sick will be cured. Conchita confirms to a BBC interviewer, "that if the conditional punishment follows, it would be better that her children had never been born." The author returns the next summer and fourteen more times to live more than four years total in the area. He listens to eyewitness relive what they had seen and heard and felt during the apparitions and gets to know the visionaries. He shows how the attractive twenty-two year old Conchita is even more fascinating living incognito as "Maria" in Barcelona. In February 2018, the first movie on the happenings opened and has people all over Spain talking about Garabandal. The movie is projected to open in the U.S. before the end of the year. We are living in the end times

Our Lady of the Nations
Author: Chris Maunder
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191028193
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Our Lady of the Nations is a detailed and scholarly overview of the apparitions of Mary in 20th-century Catholic Europe. Chris Maunder discusses apparitions in general and how they are interpreted in Catholicism by, for example, Karl Rahner and Benedict XVI. The role of women and children as visionaries is considered, including issues concerning changing views of gender, children's spirituality, and the protection of minors. He covers cases that are well known and approved by the Church (Fatima, Beauraing, Banneux, and Amsterdam), others that are well known but not approved (such as Garabandal and Medjugorje), and many that are neither well known nor approved, such as those in Belgian Flanders or Nazi Germany in the 1930s, or in France, Italy, or Germany after the Second World War. Resources include academic studies of particular apparitions, some Catholic theological and devotional literature, and occasionally travel writing. There is also coverage of material in French which is not known to the English reader. Shrines and visionaries are believed to be indicators of the presence of Mary. In the visionary perspective, she has appeared in order to reassure her followers and to warn of divine judgement. Her messages echo doctrinal Catholic Mariology with some innovations, but also express a deep dissatisfaction with the events and trends of the 20th century, from communism to Nazism to liberalism and religious indifference. While the Marian cult evolves according to new templates for apparitions and developments in Mariology, the fundamental message of presence, consolation, and admonition remains constant.
