“REVELATIONS” IN GIETRZWAŁD AND CONTEMPORARY MARY’S APPARITIONS

“Revelations” in Gietrzwałd and contemporary Mary’s apparitions is the subject worth to be noted, especially that in June 2017 was a 140th anniversary of the Apparitions of Mary in Gietrzwałd. Saint John Paul II perceived revelations as signs of times, upon which the Church shall constantly consider, in order to read them and interpret anew. The Gietrzwałd “revelations” have much in common with other Mary’s apparitions, but it is worth noticing that every appearance of the Mother of God on Earth is special and unique. There are some differences among the revelations, which suggest a reason for selection of a given place for Mary’s visit. There is a need to looks closely at the Mary’s apparitions in Gietrzwałd, as this is the place in Poland, where the events has been officially recognized by the Catholic Church as true and authentic, but despite that, they are not widely known nor priced. The 140th anniversary of those apparitions is a good chance for making them famous, and in particular to widespread Mary’s wish for us to pray on rosary every day.
