Rome, Italy, Jan 24, 2005 / 22:00 pm
The Italian daily “Corriere della Sera” reported this Sunday that it has gained access to a dossier containing various unpublished documents that classify the case of the “Madonnina de Civitavecchia,” a statue of Mary that has wept blood on fourteen occasions over ten years, as a “true miracle.”
The editorial, written by renowned Catholic journalist Vittorio Messori, explains that the dossier that will be published in the coming days ratifies that “in this corner of the earth, an event that has no human explanation and that points to the mystery of the supernatural has been verified.”
Messori emphasizes the testimony of the bishop of Civitavecchia, Girolamo Grilli, “who went from the most radical skepticism to acceptance of the mystery” when, on the morning of March 15, 1995, while he held the statue in his hands, blood began to flow out of its eyes and ran down the neck of the statue.
The dossier also includes documentation from all of the studies carried out, as well as the testimony by Marian expert Stefano De Fiores, who maintains that “the hand of God is here.”
