Talk:Charbel Makhlouf

Raymund Nader (need help on some quotes from St. Sharbel given via him?)

I was trying to look into the origins of quotes about family by St. Sharbel, and I came across a website. Does the book Love is a Radiant Light say that the quotes attributed to St. Sharbel weren't "directly" written down by him, but via experiences given to Raymund Nader? He is also the person in the article link on this page "Lebanese man finds hand of Providence in mystical experience".

From the website https://www.familyofsaintsharbel.org/experiences-blog/raymond-naders-experience-with-saint-sharbel it says at the bottom:

"So far (2020), Raymond’s encounters with Saint Sharbel have been repeated 100 times. All of them occurred at Annaya in Lebanon except for 2 times at the church of Most Holy Trinity Monastery in the US. During these encounters, the mark is renewed once or twice a year. He has so far received 45 messages, sixteen of them are currently published."

When I clicked on those experiences (such as the "Sixteenth Experience" about "Every Family is a Holy Family", the words about match (e.g. Guard your families and keep them from . . .). It seems when I search the Internet no one else mentions Nader.

Ok, checking the wikipedia article, I do now see the line at the end does say "Nadar claims Saint Charbel has appeared to him many more times, and 16 of the saint's locutions to Nader have been published." Same website noted as one mentioned in my first post. Prodo6012 (talk) 00:14, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
