Irish ‘visionary’ claims crosses in the sky will herald Virgin Mary’s next Knock visit

Irish spiritual healer Joe Coleman has gone into detail about the Virgin Mary's next visit to Knock, scheduled for May 11, 2020 at 3 p.m.

Before Our Lady appears at 15 00 hrs at Knock Shrine, crosses will appear in the sky over County Mayo, and the visitation of Mary will usher in the second coming of Christ.

These are the predictions of Joe Coleman, the self-proclaimed visionary who has the ear of the mother of God. He says that he is in constant communication with Our Lady, who is feeding him this information.

Coleman says the crosses will be a sign from Our Lady, “pleading with the Irish people to return to their faith and to seek reconciliation at this time of great hardship in Ireland.”

The Irish Catholic Church has publicly dismissed the many predictions made by Coleman.

In 2009, tens of thousands of believers flocked to Knock, County Mayo and stared in to the sky.

Unfortunately, they did not see an apparition. Instead, they saw stars, as at least five pilgrims suffered serious burns to their retinas after looking at the sun for too long.

He has called on believers in Mayo to hold Mass at 3p.m. (sharp), as he has been told by Our Lady that she will appear at Knock at this exact time.

 “Most of the messages I have received from Our Blessed Mother since December are, she has told me, related to the Second Coming of Jesus on the Earth, the time of which, she has told me, is drawing very close," he said.

“Whether or not people believe in the apparitions, I am pleading with all Catholics, lapsed or otherwise, who have any kind of devotion to Our Lady to heed her message."

He continued by saying that the Irish people were not only disillusioned with the Church, but they were also enduring one of the nation's toughest times during the recession. He asked the Irish people to take solace in the Virgin Mary and her apparitions.

“She wants people to receive reconciliation and the Holy Eucharist on the day. This will, she has told me, help avert world unrest, ecological disasters which are imminent and to redeem our faith in Jesus,” he said.

Let’s just hope that the pilgrims who travel to Knock this time, under Coleman’s instruction, remember to bring their sunglasses.

I hate to see articals written by people who do not know what they are talking about, and therefore give a missleading report. I was fortunate enough to be in Knock and YES I DID SEE AN APPARITION, of Our Lady, not in the sky but in the church, So did the people standing beside me. Later on thousands saw the sun spinning and dancing, like it did in Fatima. If looking at the sun at that time caused eye damage , why was there only 3 out of 19.000 ? They must have got the eye damage by looking at the sun when it was normal. I was FAR from normal at 3.20 that day. As to why what happened there that day, has been rejected by the Church, go to www.thewarningsecondcoming.com and you can figure out the answer for yourself.

Coleman needs to leave a few voice-mails for Mary that he is considered an idiot and to please show up as scheduled.

Advocate, do YOU have ANY thoughts about the relationship betwen Yahwehshua and His Mother during the thirty or so years BEFORE His public ministry? How close were they? Did He confide in Her? WHY did He choose Her to be his earthly mother? What were Her virtues? The Scriptures, as on many subjects, are remarkably silent.

Advocate, my bet is should the Blessed Mother show up in your living room, you'd boot Her out.

That Yahwehshua should bestow special graces.... and say nothing of same in His Holy Scriptures, nor anywhere else other than 'recent' (sic) writings of men, seems very strange indeed, does it not? He shares His Glorey with no one, including a 'church' named in honor of people: ie... St. Pauls; Saint Michaels; Saint Marys; Saint Peters; Saint Johns Etc., etc. Just who's 'church' is yours? What idols are present? Do we not bring forth serious error? I'm not sure, but I'd like His opinion on this entire matter BEFORE I participate in such 'Traditions of men!'

Give over such nonesense. The moonshine could do it or contaminated food - weed or another ....

That Jesus should bestow special graces and powers on his Mother should not prove so disconcerting to so many people. After all, he loved Her tremendously. Often those who turn their backs on the Blessed Mother wind up rejecting Jesus as well.

Hey, Advocate, please research and then explain the Miracle of the Sun in 1917.

Shame on this guy! Trying to scam innocent beleivers who refuse to 'seriously study' the Scriptures which tell nothing of Mary appearing anywhere. Nor is she His intercessor; Nor does He need such. Mary was no doubt a 'blessed' woman, but just a woman - period! Not promoted to share Yahweh/God's glory, nor given 'special powers'. She died! Her flesh body returned to dust and her Spirit returned from whence it came. (Eccl. 12) That is it folks! If you think otherwise because of what some 'mam' told you for the sake of man-made doctrine/tradition, please tell us where, in scripture, we can read same!

@Siobhan: Ditto! (I'd prefer a visit of the Tuatha Dé Danann).

Mr. Coleman should read his Bible. In Matthew 24:36 Christ tells us that he does not know when the second coming will be, nor the angels, only the Father.

Mo matter what happens on May 11, a devotion to the Blessed Mother is the answer to life's problems.

I cannot think of a better time for a visit from Mary of Knock, and I think Jesus may want to attend the next G8.

I'll just wait and see what happens. With something like this you find out right away if it's true. How convenient. Are the county Mayo priests gearing up for hearing lots of confessions as soon as those crosses start appearing in the sky. Please, email me RIGHT AWAY when they appear. I believe in the second coming of Jesus, believe in the Blessed Mother, but, call me incredulous, I'm finding it real hard to believe in this visionary.

WEll, we saw what happened a few weeks ago when the so called "visionary" foretold what would happen. He never told us about the near riot and people climbing over the pews and leaving the Church and surrounding area in a shambles. The Pastor of the Church has no sense of humour, i WONDER WHY????

I'll have to be in Knock in my mind; there's no way I could get over there in time. But I want to believe in this - believe in anything vs. the crippling way our world currently is. Who knows? Maybe she will show up.. and show up all the non believers. Couldn't hurt to have some faith; it costs nothing.
