When you asked this question before I answered yes that I believe in the apparitions of Mary, approved by CC. That was then and today I would have to answer no. That leaves the question what did all these people see? Who did they really see?

In June of 2001, when my mom was told she had alzheimer's, I believed in the apparitions of Mary. I believed my mom would be cured. There are many places I could have taken my mom. I chose Lourdes in France. It was my first choice, and I also remember seeing the movie of St. Bernadette, who saw the apparitions at Lourdes. My high school is named
Lourdes, and I remember seeing the statue of Saint Bernadette in the school chapel,and also always hearing about the healing water of Lourdes. That is where I took my mom.
The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. In my heart I really felt that my mom would be cured. She wasn't and then I found out that there are very few who do get cured who go there. I don't know what to think anymore.

I do believe in angels I think I'ld faint if one ever visited me. As for Mary, I don't know what to think about her visiting people in this modern day and age.
