Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton lived from 1774 to 1821, a convert to the Catholic belief, Ms. Seton was the founder of the Sisters of Charity organization in America. In addition, Elizabeth was the first person born in the United States to be canonized and honored as a Saint. Whereas, a number of miracles, religious signs and symbols have been named after the Saint in what has become known as 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.
Some of the most well known of these mystical occurrences include the statue Our Lady of Medjugorje weeping at a meeting of the SEAS's Knights of Columbus in Spring of 1992. In addition, many other statues have also been reported to weep. Whereas, a number of blessings, healings, beautiful smells, changing colors in rosary beads, statues turning different colors while being gazed upon and other supernatural events also occurred from 1991 through mid-late 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 pressured for more information, a parishioner finally indicated that someone else had indicated the miracles had taken place. These miracles included Father Jim bearing the 5 wounds of Christ, also known as the stigmata in which the wounds Jesus endured on the cross are replicated on an individual. In addition, there had been reports of weeping statues and other supernatural events in different locations around the world.
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.
Since the 1990s, there have been other reports of over two dozen icons made of fiberglass, porcelain, plaster, ceramic, metal and plastic which have been seen weeping. In addition, icons enclosed in a glass cabinet were also weeping in the rectory at the church during a dinner in which Father Bruse was present. As such, while there may be skeptics, there are also a number of individuals whom have experienced these miracles first hand.
