Private Revelation

The final Authority on Private Revelation is the Magisterium, who've been gifted by Christ the charism of discernment of spirits. If the Magisterium judges against an alleged private revelation, it should be discarded immediately. If still undecided, prudence and caution should be observed.

 Pope Urban VIII stated: "In cases which concern private revelations, it is better to believe than not to believe, for, if you believe, and it is proven true, you will be happy that you have believed, because our Holy Mother asked it. If you believe, and it should be proven false, you will receive all blessings as if it had been true, because you believed it to be true."

Prudence suggests you always notify your audience if the private revelation of discussion is not yet approved (ie.no decision yet made).

 It is not against Church teachings to meditate on private revelations not yet approved, provided they do not contradict official Church doctrine on faith and morals or the current Code of Canon Law.

Heckenkamp Dear Friends of Our Blessed Mother I was tremendously privileged to see and to hear one of the children of Fatima – the only one who is now alive.

In my work as editor of Mary Magazine, and provincial director of the Third Order of Our Lady of Mt Carmel I visit the various parts of this country talking with Carmelite Tertiaries and our staffers, leading little discussions on the scapular and devotion to Our Lady. Many times I have been asked to say something about the Fatima Message and of course I always try to summarize all of the things that Our Lady wants done you recall in

The Cross of Amazing Grace (most indulgenced medal ever)

Pardon Crucifix These indulgences have been declared upon the Pardon Crucifix by Pope St. Pius X in 1905, and have been approved in the pardon of the living and the souls in Purgatory in 1907 (no longer mentioned in the new enchiridion). Whoever carries on his person the Pardon Crucifix, may thereby gain an indulgence. For devoutly kissing the Crucifix, an indulgence is gained. Whoever says one of the following invocations before this crucifix may gain each time an indulgence: “Our Father who art in heaven, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” “I beg the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray to the Lord our God for me.” Whoever, habitually devout to this Crucifix, will fulfill the necessary conditions of Confession and Holy Communion, may gain a Plenary Indulgence on the following feasts: On the feasts of the Five Wounds of our Lord, the Invention of the Holy Cross, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Immaculate Conception, and the Seven Sorrows (Do
