These messages about divine apparitions clearly indicate that people need to believe in spiritual things. People need to know that they don’t be alone, that there is a saintly force protecting them. These thoughts give them the necessary energy for fight in the life. But if you stop to think, really we are alone and anything divine matter will come to save you. If not, how for example can dead a mountaineer lost in a snow storm? Anybody can help him and less a saint coming of the heaven to rescue him.
So these stories about divine signals are a manner to believe oneself that we are walking with bodyguards and that guardian angels provide us the way to advance. Myself, and for feel safer, I need to believe in divinities too, but you must know that who walk in the world is you and there aren’t manner to communicate with divinity for ask her opinion about how you are doing the things.
