QUESTIONS SUBMITTED TO MYRNA AFTER HER TESTIMONIAL. FATHER TOM GUNNING SUBMITS THE QUESTIONS TO MYRNA
1. ABOUT THE OIL; WHAT IS IT USED FOR ? ANOINT THE
SICK? GO TO THE HOSPITALS? GO TO THE DYING? GO TO PEOPLE VERY ILL?
THE OOZING OF OIL APPEARS WHEN THERE IS A REASON FOR IT; AND WHEN GOD WANTS IT. IT DOES NOT JUST HAPPEN LIKE THAT... AT ANY TIME OR PLACE... WHEN IT DOES APPEAR, PEOPLE WOULD PRESENT THEMSELVES AND I WOULD ANNOINT THEM WITH IT. HOWEVER, MANY TIMES WE GET MESMERIZED ON THE OIL AND WE FORGET ABOUT THE ONE WHO SENT IT. THERE IS SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OIL. SOMETIMES GOD STEPS DOWN TO OUR LEVEL...
2. WHY ARE YOU
COMING TO US AT THIS TIME, TO
'GO AND
PREACH TO THE WHOLE WORLD... AND SAY WITHOUT FEAR THAT WE ARE TO WORK FOR
UNITY… 'DO NOT CHOOSE YOUR WAY BECAUSE I HAVE TRACED IT FOR YOU.' SINCE I RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE, I HAVE BEEN
GETTING INVITATIONS FROM CHURCH LEADERS.
I NEVER TRAVEL WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE CHURCH. THE NUNCIATURE IN
3. WHY SHOUD EASTER BE CELEBRATED ON A COMMON DATE?
IN THE MIDDLE-EAST, WE ARE LIVING A VERY EMBARASSING AND DIFFICULT SITUTATION IN THE MIDST OF THE MANY CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS. IT IS VERY UGLY WHEN ONE SEES THAT CHRISTIANS ARE LIVING TWO RESURRECTIONS. THAT IS WHY THE UNIFICATION OF THE FEAST OF EASTER IS A GOOD STARTING STEP FORWARD. THIS IS WHY CHRIST AND THE VIRGIN MARY HAVE REQUESTED THIS UNIFICATION SEVERAL TIMES. UNIFYING THE FEAST IS A FIRST STEP, BUT IT IS NOT 'UNITY'. THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS IS WHAT IS COMMON AMONGST CHRISTIANS, WE ARE ASKED TO LIVE IT ALSO ONCE. WE ARE NOT CELEBRATING A 'MEMORIAL' OF THE RESURRECTION, BUT WE ARE LIVING IT EVERY DAY IN OUR LIVES.
4. STIGMATA: YOU SAY THAT “YOUR BODY IS IN PAIN BUT YOUR HEART IS SINGING...” PLEASE ELABORATE.
JESUS GRANTS ME THIS GREAT GRACE BY ALLOWING ME TO PARTICIPATE WITH HIM TO HIS PASSION. WHEN ONE ACCEPTS SUFFERING, IT BECOMES TRANSFORMED INTO JOY. OUR SUFFERINGS ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO JESUS' AND I AM SURE THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO GIVE ME MORE THAN I CAN BEAR
5. CAN THE OIL BE COLLECTED AND USED FOR BLESSING THE SICK?
WHEN IT OOZES FROM THE ICON, YES; BUT WHEN IT APPEARS ON MY HANDS, IT EVAPORATES QUICKLY. WHEN THE SYRIAN AUTHORITIES ANALYSED THE OIL, IT WAS FOUND TO BE 100% PURE OLIVE OIL, BUT IT HAS THE PECULARITY OF EVAPORATING QUICKLY AND NOT STAINING.
End of questions..
