Symbols that I have in my life. The one that comes to mind first is the Holy Cross. From a youth I was brought up in the church. I am a believer in God. I believe in Jesus Christ. I know that there is powers on this planet that science have yet to explain. That crucifix is symbolic but has power. Like so many other people I have watched shows like the exorcist growing up. I have heard stories of demonic possessions. It wasn't till I was in high school working for the Diocese of Palm Beach until I started believing in that stuff. Encountered a little boy for Belle Glade that was possessed. I will never forget that kid. Then in August/September I seen one appear in Riviera beach in family friends house. It started out as a small light (orb like). Before it disappeared it was bigger and more visible. I thought it was a light show or trick at first because you could pass your hand around it, over it, through it. Light with no heat but it had definite shape. It was a cross and it was suspended. I did some research and this phenomenon is actually common. Ripley's believe it or not science team could not explain it. Nor can I. One point for God.

Anthony, I agree with you about the crucifix and the cross. When I saw the assignment I thought oh I'm going to write about my cross/ crucifix I have.
ReplyDeleteWhat it means to me is a reminder of God's love for us that his son died for us. I wear it and believe it is a protection from things like what you described. I however believe that good will always overcome evileven if it may not seem that way.
Where did you work in the Diocese I used to work for the Pregnancy Center for 5 and a half years. Small world. :)
