7 Beliefs That Are Connected To The Weeping Statue Mary

By Gary Rogers


In the Hobbs, New Mexico Catholic Parish, something great has happened that has left many people bewildered. This is because people have witnessed that the Virgin Mary Sculpting has been weeping. This has let so many people astonished because many people have never witnessed something like this before. So many onlookers have gathered out of curiosity to witness the weeping statue Mary. Others have gathered to pray because they feel that that is a miracle from God. This sculpting has attracted so many people from all over the world to witness the molding that is crying.

The tears this molding sheds have been likened to balsam and olive oils. This is the exact mixture of oils that Catholics use to perform specific rituals when one is blessed by the bishop. This is why most onlookers who are believers come to pray for healing and forgiveness.

This is not the first claim of a crying molding. There have been similar claims throughout the history of Catholicism. For example, the Madonna molding has been crying since 1953. This is a sculpture that is made using plaster and is very significant to Catholics. Additionally, several other sculptures have been reported to be shedding tears in Macedonia, Argentina, and Hungary to mention just a few.

If you do not first understand the significant connection between the Virgin and miracles, it will be difficult for you to understand why the crying sculpture is religiously meaningful. In the Catholic faith, the virgin is the mother of Jesus, thus God. Therefore, these believers have a strong belief that the virgin can perform so many miracles. Also, all these supernatural occurrences are being attributed to the holy Virgin.

Catholics believe that it is through the intercession of the virgin that the Lepanto battle emerged victorious. Thus, believers have faith that if you pray to God through her, you will be able to become a victor in your daily battles. More so, you will receive more blessing from God. This is the reason why Catholics intercede through the virgin because they believe that their prayers will be answered.

The tears that she sheds are very significant to Catholic believers. She cries because of the sins committed by the world and prays for the entire world. She also cries because of the pain she persevered during her days on the earth. These sorrows are referred to as the seven sorrows of the Virgin. These sorrows include the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His death.

The scent of the olive oil and balsam is also used to depict her. This is because she is called the rose flower without thorns. Therefore, it is not surprising to find that the crying molding has turned to an object of prayer to many Catholic believers.

Nonetheless, when such an occurrence takes place, the local bishop must do some investigations. The bishop can do the investigation alone or appoint a committee. This committee will then investigate the occurrence with the guidance of Vatican doctrines standards. They thus evaluate whether the phenomenon is supernatural or not.
