I remember my first visit to the church about fifteen years ago. Someone said there was a monastery in Pechersk district of Kiev, where a wonderworking icon of the Mother of God was kept, and, supposedly, if one came there early in the morning, stood at the entire first acathistus and prayed, he or she could ask for certain things, and everything would come true. Yes, this was exactly how I memorized it fifteen years ago: “ask, and everything will come true”. A bait of miracle and wishes fulfilment in those rather troubled times. And I certainly went there, not so much for the sake of asking, but rather to see the icon which was so miraculous to fulfil all people’s wishes. Was it really wonderworking? Just to mention, I was not gullible at all, quite the contrary, but for some reason the mysterious wonderworking icon and the nationwide worship of the Mother of God – the authority – became convincing for me.
DEDICATED TO THE BEST AND DEAREST FRIEND AND HIS ARRIVAL TO OUR WORLD – TO THE COMFORTER, IMAM MAHDI
Once upon a time, in the age which is nowadays called “the Age of Iron and Blood” or “the Era of Great Sorrow”, our planet was on the verge of total destruction. People who inhabited Earth at that time were mostly illiterate, cruel, greedy and carefree. Their unrestrained passion for hoarding and grabbing forced the Earth inhabitants to extort planet’s resources ungodly and outrageously. Violence against the Earth became so widespread and general that the Earth fell seriously ill. Its disease was so deep that it turned out to be incurable. Wounds and sores were all over the Earth’s body, its blood was pouring forth; it was totally fevering and shaking. Mountains were trembling and oceans were raging, and all those were symptoms of a fatal disease. However, that was not all. People turned so intolerant and hostile towards each other that they waged permanent wars which aggravated the Earth’s sufferings beyond any measure. Being ruled by brutal and covetous leaders, befuddled and fooled by insidious and avid priests, people killed each other in senseless wars with unbelievable cruelty and spite, as if wild animals.
When a certain while ago I was working in retail, I actively studied marketing and management. In one of books I found 4 remarkable questions that helped understand whether one or another decision should be taken. Here they are:
Not many people know Virgin Mary has a number of sites in Italy – the very country where everything started and everything will end. It started from Peter and will end with Peter as well. As a matter of fact, the entire history of Catholicism has represented a struggle against the pure and Holy Personality, the mistress, Beloved Disciple and Apostle of Jesus – Mary Magdalene. It’s been a fight for power based on envy and hatred, for She always came to ordinary people, not to religious ministers.
Places of power chosen and attended by Mary are all around Italy. Since local inhabitants lack genuine knowledge, they believe it was Jesus’ mother who came. However, such misunderstanding does not prevent them from receiving help for already several centuries. Nowadays people here have nobody but Mary to rely and set hopes on, because Catholicism as religion can give nothing to a human being.
This is the first part of a little series of articles dedicated to Mary’s help given to all of us. The subject was repeatedly addressed on this website, but it is so extensive that it’s impossible to cover it fully. There are whole books and tens of thousands of records of Her miraculous apparitions and healings via one or another Image / Face, and there are surely miracles She worked which are unrecorded in any written sources. Nobody will ever know for certain how many people She helped, because the help of a personality who follows the spiritual path is not necessarily flaunted, and exactly such help has no limits in time.
As a matter of fact, my role in preparation of these articles is quite modest and minor. It boils down to working with various sources which I will refer to as far as possible. There will be very few comments on my side and almost no analysis or comparison, since all those are needless.
