Early one morning he saw a light coming in his window and out of the light came a figure. He didn&#8217;t know who it was. He tried to wake up his parents but they told him to go back to sleep.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">According to Wood, the figure seemed to be Jesus, who the boy described as wearing a white shirt and red &#8220;blanket,&#8221; with long hair, a beard, and a luminosity over His chest; later the boy, whose parents weren&#8217;t especially devout, identified the figure he saw with a picture he was shown of the Sacred Heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Lord, according to the boy, asked him &#8220;to pray and to teach other people to pray,&#8221; especially &#8220;from the heart.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Though Indian &#8212; and without a regular resident priest &#8212; the community is &#8220;99.9 percent&#8221; Catholic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">They are taking a cautious approach to the apparitions &#8212; aware that deceptions occur and instructed to watch for fruits by a priest who counseled them; the local bishop has not expressed an interest. But the events continue to reverberate through the community of 3,500. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8220;There is nothing else Michael can talk about,&#8221; Woods told\u00a0<em>Spirit Daily<\/em>. &#8220;He said the first day he was going to become a priest, and he still wants to be a priest. He said he will grow old and save souls.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">According to Wood, Jesus appears &#8220;unpredictably&#8221; &#8212; sometimes giving the boy messages in dreams, sometimes as a corporeal, full-bodied apparition, seen with the eyes (as opposed to interiorly) in an alert state of consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A major theme of the messages is that people have strayed from prayer and God. The boy was told that we should pray from the heart and &#8220;not cheat on your prayers.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Blessed Mother began appearing several days after the Lord but said nothing, according to Eugene. Sometimes she came in pure white, other times in blue and white with a sash around her waist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Wood says the boy &#8220;knows something about God&#8217;s plan [for the world] but he&#8217;s keeping that secret.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">&#8220;Recently the boy received visits\u00a0from Our Blessed Mother holding a chalice and a Host,&#8221; Eugene had reported last spring. &#8220;He also witnessed the Passion and described the suffering and wounds of Our Lord. He was instructed to bring more souls to Him. Most recently, he had an early-morning visit from an angel who told him that God&#8217;s Plan will occur soon.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Once, it is asserted, the Lord said the Pope would appear and the boy saw him in vision in the church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Thirteen days after the first apparitions, a second village youngster claimed to see the Blessed Mother and a Cross in the sky. Was it the power of suggestion?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">At least five children have alleged phenomena along with a similar number of adults. Before his death, the famed Father Slavko Barbaric from Medjugorje visited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">After the first reports, many villagers created home shrines and there have been exuding pictures and statues, along with the mysterious aroma of roses and &#8212; it is claimed &#8212; Holy Water turning into oil. St. Michael, other angels, St. Joseph, St. Theresa, and numerous saints have been claimed, along with sun phenomena.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The manifestations began around the same time as mysterious images began to appear at equally remote Native American places in the province of \u00a0Saskatchewan, including \u00a0Ile-a-la-Crosse and Fond-du-Lac, where Mary appeared on windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">And so we attempt to discern. Is it real? If it is actual phenomena, is it of God?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The village has often suffered from suicide and violence. Was this why the Lord came &#8212; if it is the Lord, if there is actual phenomena? Something does seem to have occurred. It is a village converted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">That would be the main fruit, if in the end the outbreak proves authentic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">[resources:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/store.spiritdaily.com\/product-p\/gi-118.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Visions of the Children<\/strong><\/span>]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">[see also:\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/apparitions\/fond-du-lac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Inexplicable Images Of Mary And Jesus Baffle Many In Remote Part Of Canada<\/i><\/a><\/span><i>\u00a0and\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghostvillage.com\/encounters\/2008\/04162008.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shadows in the closet<\/a><\/span>]<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"archives,signs\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1503794622\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"A REMOTE INDIAN RESERVATION IN CANADA REPORTS APPARITIONS AND OTHER &#8216;WONDERS&#8217;\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from\u00a0spiritdaily.com Archives\u00a0 By Michael H.
