Cynthia Long Calls Out To Disenchanted Catholics To Help Introduce Changes

Cynthia Long of fatimacandle.com comes from an old family lineage of Catholics since the 1800's. Cynthia questions if ninety two years is more than enough time to first introduce a few changes in "The Decade Prayer"? "A number of the words in "The Decade Prayer" are antiquated and seem to disconnect those who no longer relate to fear base words anymore, especially the younger generation," notes Cynthia Long of fatimacandle.com Cynthia calls out to the millions of disengaged Catholics to join in the effort to voice their views and hopefully initiate a few changes in "The Decade Prayer," to reflect the current time.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 9, 2009 -- On July 13, 1917, "Our Lady of Fatima" asked three shepherd children, Jacinta, Francisco, Lucía to recite "The Decade Prayer" at the end of each decade of the rosary. In 1930, the Catholic Church allowed the public to utilize the prayer. Cynthia Long of fatimacandle.com would like "The Decade Prayer" and hopefully other prayers to reflect the age we are in. Cynthia humbly asks the millions of disengaged Catholics to join in the effort to voice their views and perhaps first help introduce a few changes in "The Decade Prayer," to reflect the current time.

Cynthia Long of fatimacandle.com questions if ninety two years is more than enough time to make a few changes in "The Decade Prayer"? "A number of the words in " The Decade Prayer" are antiquated and seem to disengage those who no longer relate to fear base words anymore, especially the younger generation. Numerous Catholics are leaving the Church for a variety of reasons but I wonder, if the Catholic Church begins taking a pro-active role by maybe first updating " The Decade Prayer" could this be an initial step to help people to stay linked in?" Cynthia Long illustrates an example of the original "Decade Prayer," --"Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in the most need of Thy mercy." Cynthia Long proposes, "Oh my Jesus, forgive us from separating from you. In separation, we forget that love, peace, joy and forgiveness are our divine right. Hell - separation from Our Lord. Heaven - unconditional LOVE. Help us to re-connect to our true source, Our Lord God. Amen."

"Just like we changed the Mass from Latin to English as few understood Latin and began disengaging, isn't it time to re-visit one of our ninety two year old prayers? I was taught in Catholic School that hell was fire and brimstone with devils holding scary pitch forks ready to harm you for the smallest infraction. Who connects to fear base messages in this era? The unbelievable dread placed particularly on the young wasn't a healthy way to teach religion. It truly was a good example of the pulse of time we were in. Fear was an accepted method to control the masses, and it was so powerful it trickled down into the dysfunctional family system where fear base teachings ran out of control. Over time, significant evidence has come forth that Jesus' ministry wasn't about fear at all. So many teachings have been misinterpreted and changed to fit the past era, but we are heading towards a new era of great change, which is showing up in all areas of life. Fear base teachings are becoming obsolete. It was stated, "Our Lady" had the three shepherd children, Jacinta, Francisco, Lucía of Fatima recite "The Decade Prayer" which could have been their own young interpretation as well as what they were taught by the elders who followed the fear base methods of ninety two years ago," according to Cynthia Long of fatimacandle.com.

Incredible wax images falling off a candle.

Six years ago, something remarkable happened when Cynthia Long traveled with family  members to Fatima, Portugal to visit the shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. While sitting on  the steps of the Fatima shrine, Cynthia noticed an alcove with an incredible bright light  shimmering from that space. Cynthia called to her sister and both rushed over to the  alcove area and witnessed many unusually bright candle flames lit by countless visitors.

" The brilliant flames took our breath away! It was an incredible and powerful light I’ve not experienced before. I mentioned to my sister that we needed to purchase the sacred  candles, take them home and gift them to others. Through the years, my sister and I gave the candles to those in need of healing support. I began asking a few individuals if any experiences came about from the sacred candle flame. Fascinating stories came in. And, remarkably, the candles flame has brought immense comfort, various levels of healing, and answers to unanswered questions to those who received them. I also began  researching the history of candles which date back to 3000 B.C and uncovered some  fascinating information.

I have had great interest in the 1951 gathering at Fatima, Portugal,  when one million people held candles, in vigil, at the shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. How  much power do a million candles have? And, what is the true purpose which began  centuries ago, to hold/light candles? A long the way, we’ve lost those answers but many  still gravitate to lighting candles during life’s difficult moments. A few years ago, as I sat next to the sacred candle flame, after meditation and prayer, I heard… Share this gift  with the world. I waited months before proceeding as I was confused with the unusual  request and needed more information and guidance. Shortly after, precise guidance came pouring in, giving me insight and a lighted way."

The sacred candle flame has been passed on all over the U.S. Cynthia goes on to say,    "Frequently, when I personally light the drip less candles, the wax from the candle is  dripping incredible images espy when I’m in meditation, prayer or giving a spiritual  counseling session. It’s truly amazing! I’ve not seen anything like this! Saints like, St.  Joseph, a dove, angels and other images are appearing. I’ve heard the cheese sandwich  story and recent Virgin Mary images on tree trunks and thought to share this unique  experience as candles continue to be a beacon of light in the world."

The blessed candle can be purchased on Cynthia’s website.

Update: More incredible wax images appearing on drip less candles.

Cynthia Long is in awe of the images falling off of blessed drip less candles she uses in meditation, prayer or giving spiritual counseling sessions to people who call her across the United States. "I’m simply amazed what’s appearing, espy related to my work with healing and healing products. I was asked to help bless a home, something very new to me, and what appeared on one candle was incredible. "I’m simply amazed what’s appearing, but not surprised as we are approaching critical times."

Cynthia was asked by some new friends to participate in a healing and blessing of a home. It reeked of sadness and had some very disturbing energy in it. It was affecting every family member; espy a very sensitive eight year old child, who has been dealing with some behavioral issues that got worse over time. Cynthia goes on to say. "This was something I was very much open to as I’ve heard and read a lot about cleansing and healing a home, but until now, never experienced or participated in something like this, until recently. The eve of the healing, I brought 3 Fatima candles. I didn’t know why I chose three at the time but now I know it was very symbolic. Three is a metaphoric and sacred number of the TRINITY, It’s a number mentioned in many spiritual teachings, philosophies and religions. We placed a white candle in every room. The three Fatima candles were placed in the most intense areas of the home. My friends mentioned one specific location of the home was a very critical. The owner before them was mentally ill. There had been mounds of garbage she collected and piled up for years in the mentioned area. The walls continued to reek of the smell for some time. Symbolically, there were three of us who participated in the blessing of this home. After the blessing we began snuffing and collecting the candles. The Fatima candle, in the corner bathroom was shaped into a mound of images. It was like some intense energy was captured in and on this candle. Some people have mentioned it looks like someone kneeling, a few have said, it’s "Our Lady" One other Fatima candle had a small image but all other candles bought by my friend, had not dripped. There were about 9 other candles."

A few more saintly looking images also have fallen off of other Fatima candles. Cynthia has been on a quest, asking many who have the candles, if anything’s appearing on their candles. "I hear amazing stories about the healing, soothing, and loving energy coming from the flame. I believe, there’s more to come in the months ahead. Lots of people are staying tuned in to see what’s next. I believe, we are in critical times and "Our Lady's" light and love is needed to help and guide us. We’ve placed some of the images on the site for people to view. I’m curious to hear what others are seeing."

The blessed candle can be purchased on Cynthia’s website.
