The Courier Mail, March 15, 2009
Thousands of people have flocked to a Roman Catholic church on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion after believers said they saw the “face of Christ” in the pleats of a church cushion.
Church officials limited access to the Jesus-Misericordieux church in eastern Saint-Andre’s Cambuston district to a few minutes per visitor as traffic in the area ground to a halt.
Believers and curious onlookers pulled out cameras to take pictures of the cushion attached to the priest’s chair.
Antoinette, an 82-year-old parishioner, said the face was a “divine phenomenon” as tears welled up her eyes.
“This church is a holy site,” added Lise-May, another worshipper.

Did they check and make sure there isn’t an actual person trapped inside the seat?!
That happened to me once, I was trapped inside the Odeon Cinema for about 4 days until they started showing Donnie Darko then some of the audience started picking away at the lining from boredom and confusion. I owe my life to that so called ‘cult classic’, thank Hollywood that people can still make pretentious movies for pretentious people to pretend to like.

brawnup // March 17, 2009 at 7:18 am |
I think when people assume the function of God as to be the “supreme being” or the great universal spirit that binds all things into existence; a person is suddenly made to feel like there is a choice to partake in: believe or not believe. In order for a certain amount of “difference” to be made to a person or a population, one would first have to assume that there is in fact, a God. There are those who must be shown proof that there is such a thing as “God.” The difference is clear to those who choose to worship and entrust their souls to God as apposed to those who only believe that when a person dies their bodies simply return to the ground and becomes decomposed. In that case, there would be no difference if there is or isn’t a God since the atheist believes in no deity at all.
The agnostic will assume that people, in possession of personal souls or not, will not and should not give trust to some “ultimate reality” if man is solely in control of his or her own life. If the Christian man’s function while alive is to spread the word of God to non-believers, than what is the role of the agnostic? What difference would it make to hear that someone needs to see to believe; it is common that we, as humans, find it much easier to believe in what we see much easier than simply being told to believe in what we don’t see.
We only have stories about God, accounts of miraculous events spread out through the ages recorded in the Bible and in other denominations accounts. If we believe, we can pray and wait for signs from God. Of course, this only applies to people who believe that the belief of a God in their lives actually makes a difference as opposed to those who refuse to believe. Moreover, there are still billions of people all over the world who will claim that although they may not believe in a God, they will admit there is a supreme being or great spirit that is responsible for all creation. This is the difference of interpretation about whether there is or isn’t a God.

The real sad thing here is that Jesus Himself said that people would start things like this. He said, “If they say I’m in the desert or in the secret room don’t go. He also said that when He does return, EVERYONE WILL SEE HIM! There will be no secret return, no cameo appearances on napkins, cushions or slices of toast.

The best “sighting” I ever heard of was in Pheonix about 20 years ago. A century plant (like a large yucca) bloomed and the spike from the bloom formed a rough likeness of a kneeling woman! Of course the faithful saw the Virgin and everything was up for grabs. It was huge! Pilgrims came from Mexico and Italy and parts in between to witness and be healed. One woman (interviewed on the radio) said that after she touched the plant, her 10 year bout with dibilatating diarreah was curedThe fun ceased when a man who was late to work for 10 days running(from all the traffic jam caused by the faithful) took a chain saw and cut the spike down. Of course he was arrested but was only charged with damaging a native plant and fined a small amount. He came out ahead because his boss had told him if he was late again he would be fired. This is a true story…..I was in Pheonix that January when it all took place. The local radio stations had a field day with it!!!!

Matt,
You are the one who isn’t too intelligent. (Nor are you very well-mannered!)
IF you took the time to read the comments, you would see that there are several people who somehow connect Christianity with Roman Catholics!
You really should read a bit more before you open that mouth of yours.

Hi guys I picked up the pillow image from here and used it for my blog. Apart from that I did some extra reading and my sources told me tadadada that the sighting was made public only after some violent protests in the island occasioned by the economic crisis – despite being noticed before the start of the Easter lent..it’s not so miraculous really it’s just manipulation.:)
Btw Mr. Lonesome Mongoose, where did you get the pic? I googles up and down the internet and no trace of it. What’s ur source?Not that it would matter if that’s ur cushion or the one in the church..it would be hillarious anyways..cheers!

I found it searching Google News for “Jesus-Misericordieux”:
http://news.google.com/
I got the photo at this site:
http://www.telegraaf.nl/buitenland/3487311/__Gelaat_Jezus_verschijn_in_kussen__.html
They have the web page coded so you can’t link to the photo or just right click to copy it so I did a screen capture using FSCapture:

Then I uploaded to my web page.

Fantastic! You got it from a Dutch newspaper!(I live in NL) I wonder why other newspapers didn’t just publish it! My guess is they were too embarrased but still wanted to stir people up.This would make a briliant South Park episode:)) Thanks, you are a gentlemongoose.

His only daughter // March 20, 2009 at 12:21 pm |
I have a poster from the 1930’s which is exactly
the same. The man in the image is neither God
nor Jesus. It is my father, Jimmy Durante. This
should settle the issue for once and for all.
ps. His nose wasn’t all that big.

I saw jesus in my toilet, i took a shit then looked at it and the beauty of it was outstanding, it was a divine phenomenon indeed, the way it shaped the face of him was intense, i just had to take it out and seal it in an air-tight bag then put it in the freezer for 7 days then place it in the microwave for an hour after then poured it into a pan then added some spices and herbs and a bit of salt then i stired with a spoon and the face of god apeared. I just had to freeze it again then put it in the oven at gas mark 7 for half hour then i smudged it all over my walls with a paint brush becuase it had melted to liquid.
