Mary is scheduled to visit Knock on May 11, according to Joe Coleman

Irish spiritual healer Joe Coleman says the Virgin Mary has been back in touch with him and revealed that she would return to Knock on May 11.

Coleman attracted thousands of people to the County Mayo town last October when he predicted that the Virgin Mary was on her way. However, she was a no-show.

Further alleged visits took place in December and January, but members of the public did not witness Mary on either occasion.

Coleman, who hails from Ballyfermot in Dublin when not being hailed by the Virgin Mary, has foreseen several visits from Our Lady of Prompt Succor, but no one else has witnessed her comings and goings.

The Dubliner says that the next visit is the big one.

“The apparition, which Our Lady has told me will take place on Tuesday, 11th May 2010, at Knock (the ninth apparition he had predicted since September 2009), is the most significant of all," says the visionary.

“The messages I have received from Our Lady over the last eight weeks are of great urgency for the world. She has made it clear to me that the world will witness the second coming of Jesus on the Earth shortly. It is vital, now, she says that people begin to pray very hard now.

“She is seeking conversion and wants people to pray not only to avert world disasters (which are imminent) but to save souls and seek redemption."

Mary, Joe claims, will come and give the world a heads up about the second coming of the savior, Jesus Christ.

“I now believe that the second coming of Jesus on the Earth is going to happen very soon - within the next year or two, although Our Lady will not reveal the date in advance.

"Over the last six weeks, I have received the strongest messages from Our Lady so far, and to be honest, I have found some of them disturbing because I believe we are about to witness some terrible turmoils ahead on earth. However, I believe that through prayer, that there is hope for all of us.”

firstly I want to say Joe is not the only person to see the virgin Mary at Knock. There heve been a lot of others, Just because they don't go public, does not mean that they have not seen amazing things happen there, and at Kerrytown. If they go to the media , they are made out to be crackpots. The clergy at Knock, for reasons best known to themselves, are not interested. If we see something on the 11 of May, what do we do ? I know from personal experience that Joe has the ability to predict future events. Maybe he is a bit off about the second comming of Jesus, but what if he isn't ??? If, what people think was the sun dancing on the 11th of October, was a result of looking too long at the sun, as that Doctor in Galway has been saying, how come I have captured it on my video camera?

I think he has it wrong it should read "Our Lady of Perpetual Succour". I can't see the Blessed Virgin coming to Mayo any time soon. From what I have read a lot of peoples eyes got sore and some of them nearly went blind from staring at the sun the last time this man said the Virgin Mary was coming to Knock. It really was a miracle "I can see and now I'm blind". Do people really believe this type of stuff. How come it is only Joe who can see her and nobody else????????????????????

What a daft title anyway:'Our Lady of Prompt Succor'. Tis neither in the current venacular or erstwhile retired liturgical Latin. The flowery language of the lengthy urgent 'message' he was given 'My dear child' this and 'My sweet child' that belongs to the lyrics of Kitty of Coleraine. He's been reading way too many devotional Biographies and fancies himself 'a Visionary' when there's been nothing 'prompt' showing up at Knock other than himself.'Our Lady of The Late Night Bus..'has never let me down or left standing and a welcome vision of lights it is. Slainte.

I spoke the truth... Look it up before you agree or disagree. Now the RCC has banished the actual name of God. What scripurial authority has a team of 'men' to do such a evil thing? Bible tells us that His Names will be revealed in those days. But the RCC bans His name... I can send you the article if you'd like.... advocateno1@aol.com

Most won't like my comments... But: Mary was no doubt blessed by Yahweh/God; but she is just a woman! She died, her body returned to dust, her spirit returned 'from whence it came', (Ec. 12). She has NEVER been spoken of as an interessor for Yahweh/God in Holy Scripture... She is ONLY spoken of as such by catholic men. WHY?

Puuuhhhhlllleeeaaassse! Joe Coleman does'nt even know what day it is. If Joe had'nt got one of his kind neighbours to drive him to Knock, he would'nt be able to find the way. All of Joe's proclamations to date have being proven wrong. Now if you don't mind Joe, I have to attend Mass.

Jesus said: "No man know the hour of my return, not even the angels or the Son, but only the Father". Matt 24:36. Mary does not know,and this promised visit is contrary to what Jesus said. Yes He will return at the appointed time and we should all be ready. But you will not get to God through Joe the dreamer, only through faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Yes Jesus is real in history and today. He also said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light. No one comes to the Father, except through me." John 14:6. Read the Bible, do not be deceived. He loves YOU!

Oh, she called him back, did she? Its a complete farce at so many levels. I'd like to think that the Irish are a little smarter than to fall for this and personally I put it all down to boredom and desperation. Is society on the slippery slope, Yes, I'm afraid that I honestly believe so. As for the bigger questions, thats a personal thing for people to decide for themselves but, will someone please have a quiet word with this "glory hunter". Nothing good can come of this.

Isn't it about time the human race, and especially the irish, grew up and stopped believing in this religion nonsense? would it take the pope to have a flashing light on his head, shouting " it's all lies" for people to wake up? the problem is not even this would stop blind bloody faith! pope would just be replaced with new dictator. ooooohh hail the white smoke, cowards!

As Jesus said himself that Satan is the "Great Deceiver" and will fool most people. One does not pray to false idols and that includes the mother of Jesus. You only pray to God the Father and Jesus because they are one! In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God!
