meaning? | Melinda | Friday, May 4, 2007 |
Question: about 10 yrs. ago my family and I saw a strange apparition in the sky consisting of a dark area across one side of the moon, from the center of the moon, we saw a spiral they went up into the sky as far as one could see. Should it be interpreted as meaning Mary is the way to heaven? |

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM
Dear Melinda: No, not likely. There is nothing significant in what you saw. The way the brain works it likes to construct order out of things it sees. This is why we see recognizable shapes in cloud formations or the Blessed Virgin in the light reflections of a window. I once saw a stain on a bathroom floor that looked exactly like the silhouette of Jesus. Was this a sign? No, it was a stain. My brain just saw the geometry of the shape and kick in the memory of way Jesus looked. What you saw most likely was high altitude clouds obscuring the reflective light of the moon and making it appear there was a dark spot and a spiraling formation. God Bless,
