Mary’s Apparitions for the World: San Nicolas, Argentina
Correction-Update regarding my comments on the Holy Love shrine in Ohio with so-called visionary Maureen Sweeney. I had researched it extensively. Several sources state that the diocese refused to investigate it. I knew good Catholics who had made the pilgrimage and were convinced believers. I read the messages for several years and couldn't find anything heretical, but nothing very original. I kept praying for light as to whether I should promote this apparition, and then was offered an opportunity to journey to Ohio, almost a thousand miles from my current location. The shrine was like a show. All the promises could only be fulfilled by autosuccession. My companions and I were convinced it was all fluff and nonsense. I hope to do a video series on false apparitions.
The ignorance of Catholics about this Apparition, that is those who live outside of South America, is nothing less than surreal. It’s a modern Apparition, it’s officially approved, it’s a very big deal in South America. Mary wants her messages known. Let’s praise and thank God for all that He’s been accomplishing by sending his Blessed Mother to the humble housewife, Gladys DeMotta in San Nicolas, an industrial city located about 150 miles from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

Following the Reconquest of Toledo in 1085 by Alfonso VI, a policy of repopulation was undertaken to shore up the Kingdom of Castile, which was still vulnerable. The rise of Segovia, Ávila, and Salamanca during the Middle Ages stemmed from this strategic plan. Ávila alone has kept its surrounding walls, which in part date back to 1090, while the greater part appear to have been rebuilt during the 12th century. The intra-muros town and the walls that surround it, as well as the other component parts, show the magnificence of the medieval city, reflected in the Romanesque style of the churches, and expressing the Golden Age of Ávila in the architecture of convents and monasteries.
Santa Teresa de Jesús, also called Saint Teresa of Ávila, original name Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada, was born on March 28, 1515, in Ávila and died on October 4, 1582, in Alba de Tormes. Santa Teresa de Jesús was canonized in 1622, being one of the great mystics and religious women of the Roman Catholic Church, and author of spiritual classics. She was the originator of the Carmelite Reform and elevated to doctor of the church in 1970 by Pope Paul VI, the first woman to be so honoured.

അനുദിന വിശുദ്ധർ (Saint of the Day) October 15th - St. Teresa of Avila
അനുദിന വിശുദ്ധർ (Saint of the Day) October 15th - St. Teresa of Avila
Teresa of Ávila was born Teresa Ali Fatim Corella Sanchez de Capeda y Ahumada in Ávila, Spain. Teresa's father was rigidly honest and pious, but he may have carried his strictness to extremes. Teresa's mother loved romance novels but because her husband objected to these fanciful books, she hid the books from him. This put Teresa in the middle -- especially since she liked the romances too. Her father told her never to lie but her mother told her not to tell her father. Later she said she was always afraid that no matter what she did she was going to do everything wrong. When she was 7-years-old, she convinced her older brother that they should go off to the land of the Moors and beg them, out of love of God, to cut off our heads there. They got as far as the road from the city before an uncle found them and brought them back. After this incident she led a fairly ordinary life, though she was convinced that she was a horrible sinner. As a teenager, she cared only about boys, clothes, flirting, and rebelling. When she was 16, her father decided she was out of control and sent her to a convent. At first she hated it but eventually she began to enjoy it -- partly because of her growing love for God, and partly because the convent was a lot less strict than her father. Still, when the time came for her to choose between marriage and religious life, she had a tough time making the decision. She'd watched a difficult marriage ruin her mother. On the other hand being a nun didn't seem like much fun. When she finally chose religious life, she did so because she though that it was the only safe place for someone as prone to sin as she was. Once installed at the Carmelite convent permanently, she started to learn and practice mental prayer, in which she tried as hard as I could to keep Jesus Christ present within me....My imagination is so dull that I had no talent for imagining or coming up with great theological thoughts. Teresa prayed this way off and on for 18 years without feeling that she was getting results. Teresa suffered the same problem that Francis of Assisi did -- she was too charming. Everyone liked her and she liked to be liked. She found it too easy to slip into a worldly life and ignore God. The convent encouraged her to have visitors to whom she would teach mental prayer because their gifts helped the community economy. But Teresa got more involved in flattery, vanity and gossip than spiritual guidance. These weren't great sins perhaps but they kept her from God. Then Teresa fell ill with malaria. When she had a seizure, people were so sure she was dead that after she woke up four days later she learned they had dug a grave for her. Afterwards she was paralyzed for 3 years and was never completely well. Yet instead of helping her spiritually, her sickness became an excuse to stop her prayer completely. Later she would say, Prayer is an act of love, words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love. She thought as a wicked sinner she didn't deserve to get favors from God. But turning away from prayer was like a baby turning from its mother's breasts, what can be expected but death? When she was 41, a priest convinced her to go back to her prayer. I was more anxious for the hour of prayer to be over than I was to remain there. I don't know what heavy penance I would not have gladly undertaken rather than practice prayer. She was distracted often. Teresa sympathizes with those who have a difficult time in prayer: All the trials we endure cannot be compared to these interior battles. Yet her experience gives us wonderful descriptions of mental prayer: For mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything. As she started to pray again, God gave her spiritual delights: the prayer of quiet where God's presence overwhelmed her senses, raptures where God overcame her with glorious foolishness, prayer of union where she felt the sun of God melt her soul away. Sometimes her whole body was raised from the ground. If she felt God was going to levitate her body, she stretched out on the floor and called the nuns to sit on her and hold her down. Far from being excited about these events, she begged God very much not to give me any more favors in public. She is the founder of the Discalced Carmelites. In 1970 she was declared a Doctor of the Church for her writing and teaching on prayer, one of two women to be honored in this way. St. Teresa is the patron saint of Headache sufferers. Her symbol is a heart, an arrow, and a book. She was canonized in 1622

Story of Saint Nicholas - Part -1 | English | Story of Saints
Have you heard the real story of Sant Claus? Well, his real name was Nicholas, and he lived a long time ago in a place called Asia Minor, which is part of Turkey now. A long long time ago, during third century AD, there lived a devout couple Theophanes and Nonna.

Nicholas was a very clever child, and by the time he was five years old, he had started studying the Bible.As a young boy, Nicholas loved to visit the nearby monastery, where his uncle was the abbot. It was here that Nicholas began his life long dedication to the church, as he joined in the daily worship, chanting prayers together with monks.
