According to the Bible, there will be more of these appearances before the real Jesus appears. Are you aware this is a sign of the end times?<\/p>\n<p>It was another one of those headlines that immediately caught my attention: &#8220;Non-Catholic visitor sees Jesus in local chapel.&#8221; Ever since I became aware of the Roman Catholic New Evangelization program to win the world to the Roman Catholic Eucharistic Christ, I have been expecting a news item of this nature. If my perception is correct, many more reports will soon be common.<\/p>\n<p>The St. Charles Herald Guide reported that a petroleum geologist by the name of Andy Petty experienced a manifestation of &#8220;Jesus&#8221; at the Adoration Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Quoting from the article:<\/p>\n<p>It all started when Petty visited Our Lady of Perpetual Help Adoration Chapel in Rivertown. Little did he know that someone was waiting for him there. Petty, who belonged to the Worldwide Church of God, was only attending Our Lady of Perpetual Help to be with his fiance, Ina. When Ina said, &#8220;let&#8217;s go to the chapel&#8221; he thought she meant wedding chapel.<\/p>\n<p>For those not familiar with this topic, adoration of the Eucharistic Jesus that takes place in adoration chapels is a major part of the New Evangelization program. In order to understand what this means, some basic terms and concepts need to be defined.<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20071009101026\/http:\/\/www.understandthetimes.org\/current_transcripts\/text\/dec2006\/2106.shtml\">Click here to read the rest of this article. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Understand the Times with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-road-to-rome","wpcat-89-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
