"bloody mary"


Most of you probably think i'm referring to queen mary, daughter of henry viii, sorry but you're wrong. Recently in sacramento at a Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church, a statue of the blessed Virgin Mary has been seen crying tears of blood. People from all over have come to see the statue and pray in front of it. Some say it is a sign that terrible times are coming upon us. Others say that it is just a prank, but people have actually claimed to have seen tears falling down her cheeks. Some claim it is a miracle, though not the first of its type. "Miracles" like this have happened all around the world in places like Italy and the Phillipines. The question is though, should we as Catholics believe in these happenings as miracles and signs, or what? Why would the Mother of God be crying tears of blood, what have we done, or what have have we not done? I believe that if the Pope accepts these happenings as miracles then they are. Until then, one thing we know for certain is that many are wanted to convert to Catholicism now, and that is good.
