Did you have a heavenly vision that was witnessed by thousands of other people?
No, I have not had a heavenly vision witnessed by thousands.
But nowhere in the bible is that criteria for entrance into heaven. Not even close.
But I apologize. This is not what this thread is about, and I will bow out. I don't know what I was thinking. I obviously wasn't...
Just as one of those creepy coincidences that seems to happen...for the past several weeks, I have been reading out loud to my young children the book, "Children of Fatima". Last night we read the final chapter, about Lucia going off to school and entering the convent. My children were in awe of the fact that she was still alive and must be nearly 100. Of course we had no idea that she had died within hours of our discussion.
I visited Fatima with my beloved departed Grandma when I was 14.
