Although published in 2003, I actually wrote the bulk of this book much earlier. I am now generally skeptical of many of the not-yet (perhaps, never will be) approved apparitions/seers in this book. The Church has final authority in such matters, and I submit to her eventual decision, either pro or contra. However, some apparitions/seers have been given approval by their local Bishops, such as Betania and Akita, and I would say that they have been de facto approved, if not yet fully promulgated, by the Church.I now realize--more so than I did when I wrote the book--that miracles, seers, mystics etc. are a sometimes, nay, ofttimes dicey subject. "Signs and wonders" aren't always from God. Yet such authentic apparitions as Lourdes and Fatima are such an outpouring of the grace of God that it is to our detriment to ignore them, especially in this increasingly materialistic and hedonistic world.Ad Jesu per Mariam!
