Bilocation and Odor of Sanctity

The phenomenon of bilocation is one of the most remarkable gifts attributed to Padre Pio. His appearances on various of the continents are attested by numerous eye witnesses, who either saw him or smelled the odors characteristically associated with his presence, described by some as roses and by others as tobacco. The phenomenon of odor (sometimes called the odor of sanctity) is itself well established in Padre Pio's case. The odor was especially strong from the blood coming from his wounds. Investigation showed that he used absolutely no fragrances or anything that could produce these odors. The odors often occurred when people called upon his intercession in prayer and continue to this day.

Photo of three pink roses for the Holy Trinity.

P.S. When I wrapped the image between image tags it didn't to work in preview. Perhaps the file size is too large due to the resolution. So I thought just to keep it simple and gave the URL.

It's worse than that, his position is demonstrably false.

If you only knew. The problem is you do know deep down inside. That is why it is possible to recognize Christ when you are in His presence. He is the Creator. He is God.

Sadly, there is reason to believe that some will only recognize Him after it is too late when He returns. It appears necessary, that it is important not to attempt to save such people; they can only be discriminated against. I am not entirely certain of this at this time, but it appears to be the case. There is intuition and there is proof. There are taboos one must observe and this appears to be one of them.

Spoken as a mathematician what is my recommendation to the Church invisible and visible? Do as Catherine Boyd did. Forget the authority of academia. Return to its roots which was in the Church visible. Question everything and you may find the answer.

The result will not be a tautology. If you listen to that you are listening to your detractors and you know who they are working for.

How to drive the devil into utter submission 101, Manhattan Project for God. Now seems to be a good time to begin quoting Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.

There is a peculiar trend.

What good is morality anyway?
7294 hits / 991 replies = 7.36 hits per reply

There is more interest when I am the predominant poster. There was also a dip just after the sexual assault.

How rude, selfish and disrespectful of you.

First you tell her that her entire belief system is a fairy tale and her God doesn't exist (your belief, so why are you shoving it down her throat) and then whine because SHE is being disrespectful and rude? Do you even listen to yourself when you post? Do you really have no idea why a christian might find that a bit offensive?

But hey, free speech and everything, so preach on man, preach on. Maybe you could throw in a few "I've seen the light" for emphasis.

Fourth Prayer of St. Bridget of Sweden

O Jesus! Heavenly Physician, raised aloft on the Cross to heal our wounds with Thine, remember the bruises which Thou didst suffer and the weakness of all Thy Members which were distended to such a degree that never was there pain like unto Thine from the crown of Thy Head to the Soles of Thy Feet there was not one spot on They Body that was not in torment, and yet, forgetting all Thy sufferings, Thou didst not cease to pray to Thy Heavenly Father for Thy enemies, saying

"Father forgive them for they know not what they do"

Through this great Mercy, and the in the memory of this suffering, grant the remembrance of Thy Most Bitter Passion may effect in us a perfect contrition and the remission of all our sins. Amen.

Its settled. You made your choice.

Keep in mind that my process doesn't work like yours, I don't deny knowledge in order to prop up my beliefs. As such my mind is completely changeable, it just requires evidence.

NO reason to post then about it?

You're far more settled than I, hells you're knowingly denying reality in order to maintain it. Does that mean you should never talk about your position?

As for reasons, there are quite a few for me to post. First of all data has shown that interacting with atheists makes people less bigoted towards atheists. So when BM is putting out incredibly dumb koolaid about my position it's better for my community if I'm not in the closet.

Second, the superiority of secular morality. If I can nudge you in the direction of thinking about what's best for humans, maybe you'll stop oppressing homosexuals which would be great for the collarchat community.

The list goes on from there but I've already shown that speaking up is important to my wellbeing, important to my communities wellbeing and important to our communities wellbeing so how could I possibly keep quiet?

If I told you I love homosexuals, would you believe me? Would you believe me if I said even I love the ones who spit on me?
I mimic the love of God, the giving of Jesus of his own life, to save us. If not for it, there would be no saving Grace.
As a good parent does, although they love their children, decisions are made that may anger them, or cause them grief inside, and we continue to do it, because we know as good parents it is in their best interest.
People are allowed to live as they chose as adults, and I do not suppress it. But when it comes to making decisions, that have been directed by the Power of Awareness, also called Enlightment, then I will make a stance.
I have been reading a great deal of literature lately. Knowledge is good, I retract my statement that I will remain ignorant, to all things. I think this is a misunderstanding between us also.

If it appears I have been brainwashed or rewired I have been. I am very grateful for it. I disrespected others on a regular basis. It was my way or the highway, furious violent temper, and zero Peace.
Through Gods words, and the sincerity of belief, consistency of path, and many attacks that brought me such sorrow, I had a break through.

Understanding eluded me for the longest time, and I defied and fought everything.

Truly GS, I sincerely believe you have a spark left, blow on it and it will begin to glow then it will burst into a flame.
