In The Ruins Of The Philippines Earthquake: Two Holy Statues Stand Alone, Bringing Faith, Hope | Peace and Freedom.

Survivors hear Mass in front of rubble



MADONNA STATUE AMID RUBBLE A statue of the Virgin  Mary and the Infant Jesus is set at a makeshift altar before a pile of stones  that was the 180-year-old Our Lady of Light Church in Loon, Bohol province, a  day after a 7.2-magnitude quake destroyed the church.



On the day after His Holiness Pope Francis consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, while commemorating the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, hopefully contemplating the yet unfulfilled request of Mary to consecrate, with all the world’s bishops, Russia to her Immaculate Heart, and to release the Third Secret, lest God punishes the world with a great chastisement, a miracle occurred in the Philippines.



A large earthquake hit the southern Philippines. It’s epicenter was the island of Bohol. It also occurred in the nearby island of Cebu. The death count is 160+, and 250+ injured. The people noticed a pattern. The main buildings to collapse were the old churches. In several of these churches the only thing that remained standing was a statue of Mary. Here is one story: http://johnib.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/in-the-ruins-of-the-philippines-earthquake-two-holy-statues-stand-alone-bringing-faith-hope/



Yet, the most profound sign came from the most visited Marian Shrine in the Philippines on the island of Cebu, called Mama Mary shrine. There is a large, miraculous statue of Mary in this shrine, that has cried and cured many pilgrims. In the same church there is another statue of Mary, that appears to be Our Lady of Fatima. It has a base with the word “Portugal” on it. This base is continuous with the statue. They are one piece. The base cannot be detached from the body. Otherwise the statue would be broken into two pieces.



Here is the great miracle, which seems to be a message, a warning from Our Lady of Fatima. Right after the earthquake, pilgrims noticed and cried out in alarm that this statue had changed. Mary was now facing the wall, with her back to the people. But, the base itself, molded to the body of the statue, was still facing forward with the “Portugal” inscription!



Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!  May Pope Francis and the world’s bishops do as Our Lady requested.
