Happenings at Knock, Ireland

Many people want to know about the recent Apparition at Knock. There have been many reports and descriptions so let me try to tell you about what my family, neighbours and friends who were there have described to me.
Knock is in County Mayo in the West of Ireland. You can learn more about the 1879 Apparition at …………………. http://www.knock-shrine.com/
On Sunday 11th October around 30,000 people turned up for the prophetic apparition at Knock. A Dublin man named Joe Coleman who has had regular visits from Our Lady had told the people of Ireland through the media (newspapers, radio) that Our Lady had told him that She was going to appear at Knock on Sunday (11th Oct). 30,000 turned out for the event.
Around 3.10pm, thousands saw the sun dance, spin and change into a multitude of various colours and it grew everescently bright, very very bright. The colours were azures green, blue, pink, yellow, red, purple, orange and so forth. Then many saw it begin to spin out of the sky and plummet towards the people – people began praying loudly and many were also sobbing from their hearts. My sister Marian witnessed this at the back of the Apparition Chapel where she sat near the Glass Window there.
Joe Coleman announced to the people that this was similar to the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima.
My neighbour Patrick who is Pony Dealer, told me that he was at the front of the chapel beside the 3 Apparition Statues of St Joseph, Our Lady and St John. He noticed the woman beside him had basically gone into ecstacy. She told him that Our Lord had manifested himself beside Our Lady’s Statue. She said that Jesus stood there with His Hands outstretche and asked this woman ‘Where are my priests?’
None of the Knock priests were present.
At least six people saw Our Lady at the Gable Wall and one woman went on Mid-West Radio and told her story of Our Lady’s vision to her. The Blessed Mother told her that She came to ask people for prayer to stop the Third World War and that She, Our Lady would come two more times to Knock before Christmas.
I have spoken to people whom I consider to be of sound mind and they are all saying the same thing – that something magnificent had occurred at Knock. I also spoke to some of the B&B Owners as I know them from taking pilgrimages there and they too agreed that something supernatural happened on that Beautiful Sunday at Knock.
I believe all of these witnesses 100%! Good timing too by Our Lady after the dreadful Yes vote in the Lisbon Treaty. She also knows that the One World Plotters are about to impose their One World Dictatorship on us all with the significent signing of the Copenhagan Treaty in December which will move this Sinister Plot closer to our backdoor step. God help us!!!
Now Our Lady said She will come two more times to Knock before Christmas. Well the Good News is that She will be in Knock again on the Eve of All Saints, 31st October.
My friends and I have already booked our flights.
If you intend going, you better book now before all the flights are gone and indeed, before all the accommodation, beds in Knock are gone. There is only so much accommodation in Knock so book NOW! Irish people are taking the 31st Oct, a Saturday off work so that they can be in Knock for this great event. There was 30,000 there on the 11th Oct so you can expect 10 times as many to be there for the 31st Oct.”

I cannot believe that people would travel all the way from America because of a psychic spiritualist claiming ‘visions’ in our beautiful Shrine at Knock. Are they not aware of who this man is ? He is a spiritualist. Firstly, to practice spiritualism goes against Christianity. This does not come from God and it is better that people go to see Jesus in the tabernacle and talk to Him there in their local Church than travel so far running after reported ‘visions’. When the first so called ‘vision’ took place it was also the same day as the annual pilgrimage to Knock Shrine for the Dominicans. Sadly, they could not have the Rosary procession because of the crowds looking at the sun. The Priest was also calling on people later to go to Mass but many of the people chose to stay looking at the sky. It is important that people find out the facts before hopping on a plane. This man is causing alot of problems for the Archbishop and the Parish Priest of Knock. This is an incredible holy Shrine and the prince of darkness hates it because it is a powerhouse of prayer. There are so many Masses said there each day and the peace there is so tangible beyond words. I hope people who do go there will respect the Shrine for what it really is and respect the Parish Priest and his wishes as well as the Archbishops views. Pray for this man and pray for Knock Shrine and for the Church in Ireland which needs prayer badly. God bless you.

Could you tell more about ‘this man’ described as a spiritualist and other considerations bearing on this matter with which you apparently are familiar?

Good timing too by Our Lady after the dreadful Yes vote in the Lisbon Treaty.
Good timing??? come on please. would it have made more sense to appear before the vote??? people might have voted no!!!!

Certainly some people are misguided, and some people are fools. On what basis should this person be considered a fool?

This is rubbish. Joe Coleman is a fraud. Spiritualism goes against Christianity. Go back and learn your Catechism Joe.
