Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton is a Saint whom lived between 1774 and 1821. Ms. Seton converted to the Catholic faith as a teenager, founded the Sisters of Charity nunnery and orphanage in the United States as a young adult. Elizabeth was also the first person born in the United States to be canonized as a Saint. Now, a new honor has been given to the Saint, that of associating the family name in The Seton Miracles.
Ms. Seton cured three individuals of what were considered fatal ailments at the time. One of those cured was Anne Theresa O'Neil whom at the age of 4 was diagnosed with a fatal form of leukemia. The acceptable cure provided by Ms. Seton contributed toward the Saint's beautification and canonization by Pope Paul VI.
While there are numerous miracles which have occurred over time, some are better known than others. Whereas, skeptics still have issues believing in the supernatural events which have taken place over the last several decades. As such, most believe the weeping statues, crying plastic Madonnas and signs of the stigmata are nothing more than elaborate hoaxes.
Our Lady of Medjugorje is one of the most beautiful and well known statues which individuals have seen weeping. In this case, the statue appeared to be weeping at a Knights of Columbus meeting in the Spring of 1992. In addition to weeping statues, a number of healings, blessings, beautiful fragrances such as flowers or spices, rosary beads changing colors, statues turning different colors and other supernatural events were also witnessed between 1991 and 1993.
Most often, the statues which have been reported to have wept were those of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Whereas, there have also been pictures and crucifixes housed at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton church which have bled or changed color. In most cases, these incidents occurred when there were multiple individuals present to witness the event.
While being pressed for more information, the parishioner whom reported the incidents indicated that someone else had provided the information. Upon hearing this, the staff member went to the rectory to inform Father Bruse. At which time, the priest explained that the weeping began with an Our Lady of Grace statue the previous Thanksgiving while the stigmata wounds appeared about a month after the incident with the statue.
During the conversation between the staff member and Father Bruse regarding these events, a rather small Madonna statue made of plastic sitting on the credenza began to cry. In this case, with water flowing rapidly from the eyes down across the cheekbones, the term crying was the only possible term which could be used to explain the experience. Whereas, most other statues had been reported as weeping in the past.
There have been reports of over 2 dozen icons made of different materials which have been seen weeping around the world. In addition, there have been some enclosed in glass cases which have appeared to weep. In particular, there were some in a glass case in the rectory at the church in Virginia which appeared to weep when Father Jim was visiting for a church dinner.
