Apparitions of Jesus	Marte	Tuesday, September 21, 2004
Question: In 1982, and again in 2001 (just after the World Trade Center tragedy), I experienced remarkable apparitions of Jesus in my own home. Both times, I was at my lowest point, almost giving up hope about troubling situations. Then, He appeared to me. Shortly after both experiences, there were dramatic beneficial changes in my life; whereby I had more strength and understanding, and therefore, took control of those troublesome circumstances. Both apparitions lasted only a split second; yet, I can remember clearly every detail of what I saw - how He looked, what He wore, His gestures, how He stood, the Sceptor He held, the Robe He wore, the white linen tunic, etc. There isn't anything else that I can remember as clearly and as vividly as those two apparitions....even the colors that I saw were "not of this world." I saw two blue eyes, almost turquoise. No one on earth has eyes like what I saw. I am trusting and believing that I truly did see Jesus; yet whenever I try to tell this to anyone, they think I'm crazy. A friend told me that what I saw was a demon, or something from Satan; whereby a demon was disguised to look like Jesus. Any comments or advice?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM+ Dear Marte: It sounds to me, based on what you are telling me here, that God has blessed you at a time when your most needed it. What you describe and the results that came from it does not sound demonic to me; it sounds like God gave you a gift. I had something similar happen to me, but with my Guardian Angel. You can read the story about that on the website under the title, My Angel's Lap, located in the Contemplation area. Thank God for the gift and ignore the detractors. God Bless, Bro.

In 1982, and again in 2001 (just after the World Trade Center tragedy), I experienced remarkable apparitions of Jesus in my own home. Both times, I was at my lowest point, almost giving up hope about troubling situations. Then, He appeared to me.
