STERRETT, Ala. (RNS) Marija Lunetti, one of six young peasants who
claimed that the Virgin Mary began appearing to them in 1981 in
Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, says the mother of Jesus is aware of the
economic crisis in Europe.
Realizing that she stumbled into a
great scam when she was a child, this woman turned a simple lie into a lifelong affair. Here's more:
Lunetti spoke briefly in an interview about the economic crisis in
Europe and the weather -- "Hot like here," she said -- before she had
her daily apparition on Sunday (July 1) night on her visit to Shelby
County, Ala. During the apparitions, she says the Virgin Mary appears to
her and prays over the pilgrims, even though they cannot see her
vision.
She's a real entrepreneur, she is. And get this:
Lunetti's normal time for an apparition Friday morning was while they
were on an airplane bound for Alabama. Instead, Lunetti had her vision
Friday night after 8 p.m. once she arrived at the Colafrancesco home.
If
you let some people get hold of a racket, they never let go. Daily
apparitions that no one else can see. You have to give her huge credit
for pulling that one off. And yes, it's all from HuffPo, that font of modern knowledge.
