true letter from Jesus	George	Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Question: I have come across this "A True Letter of Our Saviour Jesus Christ"- You could find the details on this link {link omited by moderator}. But is this tradition and prayers suggested are approved by the Catholic Church?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r) Dear George: Well, my take on this alledged private revelation is that it is nonsense. More importantly, I can find no credible approbation from any bishop or the Holy See. It claims to have been approved by Pope Leo XIII on April 5, 1890, but that needs to be proven by an independent source. When it comes to private revelations one needs to take them with a grain of salt until and unless they are positively evaluated by the Church, and even when approved there is no obligation to believe them. What I find pathetic and dangerous is how so many people just jump blindly onto any alleged private revelation that comes down the pike (there are donzens of websites with this "letter"). But, this is to be expected. Jesus said, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign" (Matt 12:39a) We need to be spending our time with Public Revelations (Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition). If we spend more time and energy chasing apparitions than we do reading and studying the Bible, then we are out-of-line and we fulfill the prophecy of Jesus by being apart of that "evil and adulterous generation that seeks for a sign." So the real question is not about this alleged private revelation. The real question is why bother when we have God's love letter to us called the Bible. God Bless, Bro.

Dear George:

Well, my take on this alledged private revelation is that it is nonsense. More importantly, I can find no credible approbation from any bishop or the Holy See. It claims to have been approved by Pope Leo XIII on April 5, 1890, but that needs to be proven by an independent source. When it comes to private revelations one needs to take them with a grain of salt until and unless they are positively evaluated by the Church, and even when approved there is no obligation to believe them.

What I find pathetic and dangerous is how so many people just jump blindly onto any alleged private revelation that comes down the pike (there are donzens of websites with this "letter"). But, this is to be expected. Jesus said, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign" (Matt 12:39a)

We need to be spending our time with Public Revelations (Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition). If we spend more time and energy chasing apparitions than we do reading and studying the Bible, then we are out-of-line and we fulfill the prophecy of Jesus by being apart of that "evil and adulterous generation that seeks for a sign."

So the real question is not about this alleged private revelation. The real question is why bother when we have God's love letter to us called the Bible.
