MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews and discoveries with persons who experienced the touch of God.
THE DEAD RETURNED WHEN…
Whether it’s popular to believe so or not, there is another dimension to reality. Often called eternity or heaven, “the other side” is God’s realm. While we don’t understand what’s “over there,” we get small insights now and then. Here’s an example of that reality that also brings a lesson to be remembered.
Cardinal James Hickey, Archbishop of Washington, had been included in a VIP tour of Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland. With dread, he began a tour of the Nazi execution facility. The priest walked through the shower area used for gassing and on back to the crematoriums. Cardinal Hickey stared at the ovens where millions went up in smoke. Ashes and pieces of bone were still laying on the gurney.
Overwhelmed by the ghastly sight, the priest stuck his hand in the ashes and began to intercede for the victims that died there. His profound and emotional prayer arose from the depth of his soul. As he prayed, he realized another group had come in and he must respect their visit. Father Hickey felt them coming closer. When he looked over his shoulder, the priest was startled that a group of men in black and white striped prison suits had now walked close and surrounded him. He assumed they must be dressed to portray former prisoners for visitors sake.
They immediately began talking in different languages that Cardinal Hickey couldn’t understand. Polish, Russian, Yiddish, German; they kept trying to tell him something. “I’m sorry,” the priest said. ”I don’t understand.” He pulled his hand out of the oven. The group of men vanished!
The priest was totally shaken. Never, never had he experienced anything like these apparitions! Father Hickey simply couldn’t digest what he had experienced. He staggered out of the death camp and returned to his hotel room where he decided rather than returning to Washington, he would go to Rome. A friend of Pope John Paul II, he had to talk with the Supreme Pontiff to gain some insight into this experience that continued to haunt him.
When he met privately with the Pope, Cardinal Hickey related the whole story. Knowing the Pope was Polish and had lived through the terrors of WWII, he asked what it all meant.
“It has happened before,” John Paul II told him. “Others have seen these same apparitions.”
“But what does it mean?”
The Pope said thoughtfully. “They are saying this must never happen again. We must all do what we can to stop it from ever recurring.”
A message for all of us.
Don’t forget that there is another dimension and your prayers cross that line into eternity. The possibilities of what can happen are endless. Don’t be fearful of reaching out to touch God’s world. It will touch you back.
