Catholic Church is preparing the Third Millenium comming. In reality God, Jesus Christ, The Gospel and even the Church under the Holly Spirit´s inspiration, had allways told very clear God´s Will after 2 000 years. Nevertheless is very important to transmit Divinity´s Message to a society with different problems each epoque.

Bishops of all the World are going to come with His Holliness the Pope, under Virgin Mary´s feet as He has said, to give solutions to Humankind more important spiritual problems, in present time or futur.

<P>After similar meetings in other countries, next month the conclutions are going to be known by whole world. John Paul, with a real ecumenic sense, has told this visit is to all Americas. Not only Mexico but all American Continent, from Alaska to Patagonia. To all his inhabitants, in spite of differet languages, skin color, social and echonomic situation or cultures.

Of course, Mexico City is preparing this event. The infrastructure and lodge are improved, the Calzada de los Misterios, the way to access the Temple and The Villa of Guadalupe, the Shrine, are bettered. They are preparing visits to hospitals and a stadium where a half million people are going to be present in Mass. But best of all, in the meeting, the Church position in front to very important ploblems is going to be reiterated.

As New Evangelization, life rights since the conception, family union, protection to handicaped people, and first af all, to follow the Christian Doctrine and the search of Divinity in a world where spiritual values most be protected. All of those things under Saint MARY Virgin´s feet. Interlupe

is going to follow up the event next month.

Finally Virgin of Guadalupe´s Web Site is two years old since a few days. It has been visited by more than 18 000 persons. His Emminence Norberto, Cardinal, Rivera and Mons. Enrique R. Salazar bless you, and all people accessing Interlupe in the future.

Since there are a lot of things to comment this month, we will give you more news in next two weeks.

We are now going to give more information on the walk has begun at Virgin of Guadalupe´s Shrine in Tepeyac. The people doing it had visited allmost all Continent untill their arrival to Buenos Aires, Argentine last month.

Buenos Aires Archidiocese organized a foot pilgrimage from México City, carring the Esquipulas Christ, and Our Laly of Guadalupe images.

They departed from Mexico City on december 13th, 1992, six years ago. They have visited 18 countries, have traveled more than 10 000 miles, visiting jails, hospitals, public markets, shrines or humble churches with evangeliser messages, according with Gospel new transmisson spirit signaled by John Paul II Pope.

They are now preparing the fourth and final stage to visit Chile, Paraguay and return to Argentina. Starting at Mendoza City they are going to cross the Andes mountains, then walk to the north to finish this extraordinany religious effort in Our Lady of Lujan, again Argentina, probably on december 12th , year 2000 !!!.

This is a beautiful example of Faith, sacrifice, fisical work and evangelizer spirit. Let´s pray for them.

Speaking on Virgin Maria´s festivities, this month celebrates the Presentation. It was a jewish ceremony where fathers most go at the Temple to offer their girls to God´s service. This habit, accomplished by Maria´s parents, strictly following their laws, is an example we catholic families have to follow to obey our Catholic Church rules.

Besides it is a beautiful thougth to imagin Maria, very little, beautiful, obedient, inmaculated, and concient since that early age, to promise her total own delivery to Divinity and then later acomplish her oath, with Holly Spirit help and also with to many sufferings, in order to follow Creator´s will.

This 18th is celebrated Missions World Day. His Hollyness, John Paul II invite us to be aware through all month, to colaborate " with spiritual and material solidarity in the " evagelizer Church Mission.

In that way is reminded Christ Redeemer´s evangelizer mission, till now very far to be reached. Holly Ghost has given to whole Earth, the seed of Word. With germination she carries us into Divinity. Then, the Trinity is completed.

Once again, reiterated, is standed out specific Virgin Mary´s evangelizer actions within all Her life. Besides the also specific messages She left us in Her apparitions, to american inhabitants represents an added obligation. In spite to have, as all ancient cultures, an inborn sense to look for Divinity, we unmerited have been benefited with the outstanding Virgin of Guadalupe´s apparition in this land.

First and greatest evangelizer of american continent, She again stands up as an example we most follow. In certain way, this is the Mission and Vision of INTERLUPE. Since as his motto, now with a 2000 year technology " ... She returns to Heavens with Jesus Christ´s message to evangelize the whole world. " With God-Son´s will, Her Son, filled by Holly Ghost and precisely to help us to be together with God Father.

Only, She does it innocent, obedient, silent, modest, humble and maternaly. She is God-Son´s Mother and in spite that honour, She considers us also her sons, with all our imperfections. As any human mother, She desires to be our intercesor in order to help us to reach the Unique Creator Divinity. Why do not we understand Her message and try to follow Her example as Pope has said ?.

Maria`s name is celebrated this month. Since Efeso Council in 431, it is correct also call Her GOD´S MOTHER. In the Conception, Divine Word is united in Maria´s virginal womb, with human nature. That is why the Son She gives birth, is a truly Man and at the same time, the truly God.

This condition is fully confirmed by the Bible :

· From Maria, Jesus was born and called Christ. ( Mathews I, 16)

· And He shall be called the Almigthy´s Son, God`s Son.(Lucas I.32,35)

· God´s Son was born from a woman. ( Galatas 4, 4 )

· The Word was made flesh in that Woman`s womb. ( Juan I, 14 )

The fisrt one who called Maria as God´s Mother, was Isabel when she talks Her as " ...My Lord´s Mother ", really knowing, after the New Testament, the word " Lord " is recognition of Divinity.

Besides. In Lucas I, 48, 49, Maria Herself stablish the omen " All generations will call me Blessed, because Almighty God has made marvellous things to me."

And She, in 1531, as Guadalupe in Tepeyac tells Juan Diego " Am I not here as your Mother ?... be shure this disease nor any other one could distress you." Those really beautifull words, full of hope, increase the Maria`s Sweet Name with the maternal consolation of a Mother. Trully God´s, By Whom All We Live, Mother. And at the same time Mother of all of us.

It is well known we celebrate this month, Virgin Maria´s Assumption to Heavens. As the 15th day Mass Antifone says, " You are blessed Maria. Since you were elevated over the angels´ chorus, and fairly, with Jesus Christ, have reached the eternal triumph ".

Then a Pray comes. " Our God, who recompensated Virgin Maria´s deep humbleness with the sublime dignity to be Your Son´s Mother, let us by Her merits, to profit the Redemption Grace and to receive heaven reward. By Jesus Christ, Our Lord ..."

Very clear and simple, we are called to follow Her example. In a certain way it is going to be continnued Her work as First Evangelizer, so well underligned by John Paul II. who call Her as The Morning Star.

The INTERLUPE motto remind us the Assumption and the New Evangelization. "Virgin of Guadalupe came from Heavens narly 500 years ago to evangelize half World. Now She returns to Heavens to evangelize all the World ".

This month first Sunday, remind us Divine Instruction to evangelize the whole world. In that Gospell in symbols is told about 72 disciples who are instructed to travel all over the World to let know God´s Word. Virgin Maria, exactly follows this advise since the beginning, within Jesus life, during His dead in Golgotha hill and after that.

Some more. With Her apparitions, specially those related with the so called New World Encounter, She shines with the evangelizer spirit, so clearly pointed out by Juan Pablo II Pope who signaled Her as the Morning Star.

Related to 2,000 year Jubilee, let us ask Holly Ghost gives us ligth to follow Virgin Maria´s example to spread the Good New. She will take us near God and will make in each one of us, a real evangelizer.

In the Tepeyac, just at the Virgin´s feet, in Guadalupe advocation, they are going to be more than 2,500 Priests meeting with this mission. As in Fatima and in Abidjan, they are following the renewal to bring Divine Word all over the world. The Priests are also will see a piece of theater organized by the Father Russell´s Mexicans Biblical Studies Centers, on the Miracle of the Roses.

As another new, past days was celebrated in Mexico City, the Center of Guadalupan Studies announced Congress. It was a real success so we are going to send you some messages over the conferences. Fray Juan de Zumarraga, Interlupe Program as a modern way to trasmit God´s Word and Juan Diego, universal lay model, still at the Virgin Maria`s service, representing all people with humble hearts to communicate the Gospel.

May last day appears in fullnes the Holy Ghost. Begins the Church as an Institution and starts evangelization as an universal system.

June starts when Apostoles just had received Holly Ghost´s gifts, also in fullness. Nevertheless, before them, first and "in extenso", those gifst are received by Virgin Mary in Annunnciation moment, since She concieves Jesus "... by means and grace of Holly Ghost.

Whith Her humble and total acceptation, Mary recieves Knowledge. Inteligence and Science in order to recognize, understand, meditate, give value and adore divine affaires, to accept them and to act therefore.

She receives also Fear of go away the trail Divinity has proposed Her in order to deliver Hersef totally to Him. The Piety to devekope more filial love to God, Strength to support the great sufferings She is going to be submited ann Counsil to discover every instant the way to follow, after God´s will.

At the same time that She receives this precious Gifts, it marks the beginning of Her maternity as the Mother of God. Are the overwhelmings signs that She answers with humiliy and faith We have said that just near the Cross, Her Holy Son named Her mother of the church in Saint John´s person..

Her answer, full of love, consists in being unique and the first one that continue to be the most grate evangelaizer. Her work is to approach us kindly to her Son. This year, signed by Holy Pope Juan Pablo II dedicated to the Holy Spirit, Virgin Mary is the first human person that receives His gifts, since the first moment of her conception and all the time . Afterwards in remarkable way in her advocation of Guadalupe, when She decides to identify Juan Diego with Human Being., we can feel the nearness of her Holy Son.

Flower, Mother, Queen.

Three words link Virgin Mary with May month. Last year, we told we celebrated in Mexico mother`s day the 10th . Mary is God`s Mother. Jesus´ Mother, with all the honor, the joy, the satisfaction, obligations and sufferings all those things had meant..

She is the most important catholic Flower. With Her beauty, fragance, naturalness, simplicity and silent spiritual values, is the very well merited purity symbol.

Humankind primigenial Mother because She gives human life, by means of the Holly Ghost, to MAN by antonomasia, God istself under our terrenal figure. This act, apparently so simple, is very complicated to our Catholic Religion Theology. The birth of God-Man who within our same physical aspect and without any fault is going to give, with His unfair and temporal death, eternal life to man-sinner.

With the sad Jesus´ death, She is suddenly transformed into the firts evangelizer. Converted rigth now in Humanhood`s Mother, She, with Her maternal intercession, will look for the all man`s salvation.

Queen of Heavens, because She is the human being most linked to Trinity, Because of

Her life before, during and after Christ, She is the celestial figure with all majesty protecting and carrying us allways nearest God.

Queen, Mother and Flower, we are going to remind Her with thees elements since She covers us with Her starrish mantle and take us to God.

Guadalupan Studies Center also is celebrating this month His Excelency, Mexican Cathedral Canonigo, Luis Avila Blancas´ fifthy years priesthood aniversary. We are honored whith his Interlupe collaborations and with his half century life dedicated to God.. Surrounded by art, hystory, painture, archeology and literature, is an example of kindness, work, generosity and love to Divinity. God Bless and let stay him with us much morer time .

Holly Week begins this month. As every year, we celebrate Christ´s Ressurrection. He, full of glory, defeat dead as a Man, to corroborate His GOD quality.and save humanhood. It´s a comment each year is a motiv of reflection. He defeats dead, man´s sins fruit, and state His Man´s divine quality as a Person of Trinity. Penitence Lent is finished and God´s new pre-sence between us joy, is starting.

Virgin Maria, is facing the Cross, with tears in Her eyes. They are two broken hearts, His´, literally, and Her´s by a great pain. That´s how She gives Her Divin Son to the world. It is the most clear, perfect, and painfull example of evangelization.

Evangelization word means to give Good News, Jesus, to the people. In this same place we have said Virgin Maria, in Her Guadalupe´s advocation. is the first, bigger and best exam-ple of that fact in american continent, because She gives Good News, Her Divine Son Jesus, to half ot the world in 1531. But Maria, The hebrew Mother, gives Him to all world, in front to the Cross in the bitterst possible way .

That´s why INTERLUPE motto is : in 1531 Virgin of Guadalupe gets down from heaven to evangelize half of earth. Now, nearly in XXI Century begining, She returns to sky, by means of artificial satelits and Internet, to evangelize the whole world.

Why don´t we follow Her evangelizer example and do the same ? It is so easy ! ! !

INTERLUPE gives other good news. In Mexico it is just published a book on Juan Diego´s Genealogy. Besides to verify his ancenstry from an aztecs nobleman, it is comfirmed at all his humble, normal, honest and exemplar life. This monography has been writen by the mexican hystorian Horacio Senties, also an INTERLUPE coolaborator. It has a forewords and an appendix made by Monsignor Roberto E. Salazar, Head of Guadalupan Sudies Center.

Monsignore Enrique Salazar, Head of Guadalupan Studies Center and Juan Diego´s Can-nonization Process Promotor, representing all members, congratulate our Honnorary Presi-dent, Monsignore Norberto Rivera Carrera because He has been named Cardinal by Pope Juan Pablo II.

We got to remember in our Cardenal´s coat of arms, are stamped Virgin of Guadalupe, Juan Diego and Popocatepetl and Iztaccihualtl volcans, the everlasting four guardians of Valley of Mexico. Beautyfull integrated divine and eartly simbols of spiritual and physical values of all american countries called the New World.

Also they repeat the hopes of our ancesters and compatriots from continental Countries. All of them so blessed by God, are waiting the christian catholic redemption proposed by our religious leader Juan Pablo II and stated by Jesus Christ, which are very important to renew in the near tertium millenium.

Particular hope and premonitiom by us. Despised, earth lacked, poor of spirit, and maybe "forgotten " by every people but not by the Creator. We desire to see the important and so waited Juan Diego´s Cannonization since all of we are identified with his person. Only a human reconnaissance since God has allready donne it.

The trajectory, work and guadalupan love showed by Mons Rivera, present Zumarraga´s successor, make us presume that. Congratulation and wellcome to american countries, so signed by God and Virgin of Guadalupe.

And now once again the Lent (Careme). Ash Wenesdday we remember the end of life mystery, and as an analogy the beginning of Life. Also appears penitence, and God´s love and sufferings for us. Let´s think about this all month. Thinking of dead and our sins we prepare repentance and pardon. By means of God´s sacrifice and dead, He, so much offen-ded by us, gives again His life to througth love give us eternal life.

Finnally, as a lyturgic home work, really thinking this month on physical dead, repentance and divin pardon, we are going to live a different.Lent (Careme). Ask Virgin of Guadalupe to make His Divin Son nearest us each time.

Presentacion and Purification, From the beginning month, this two words appear and have a hight significance to all catholics.

Purifications and Presentacion. Two words we are going to examin in order to make conclusions. They most give us, as the whole Liturgie, Gospel messages to follow. The Good News we must know, understand as a life model. Just to correspond the pacience, pardon and love Divinity gives us.

The Very Saint Virgin´s Purification. She wasn´t obliged to be purified given Her total confidence and abandon to Divinity´s plans who takes Her with all purity to be God´s Mother, He by Whom All We Live, Origin and End of All Things. Nevertheless She goes to the Temple to acomplish the Law. Even after Her absolute abandone to the Holly Ghost., the rest of Her life She stands absolutely pure. In that way She is an example of humbleness, faith, hope and aproval of Divinity´s wishes.

Her Divine Son´s Presentation. Also it is an indication of discipline. She goes also to the Temple to follow the Law. This time is offered Her Precious, First and Unique Son She just has given birth with complete and eternal purity. All people was obliged to offer to Creator the first fruits of their harvest, any things they were.

Presentation and Purification. Acts to accomplished maybe as a rutune. It`s not the case of the Virgin since She gives us un example of humblesness, confidence, compliance of the law and abandon full of love to Divinity, in order to make us follow Her behavior.

Center of Guadalupan Studies wishes you very happy Hollidays and hopes God bless all of you in 1998.

Gratitud, Love and Pardon. The name of january comes from the mitological roman figure Jano is represented by a two faced head. One forward, the other behind in order to see in both directions at the same time.

As the legendary Jano we can do the same. Respect to 1997 we most be grateful be-couse the just passed Nativity. The Only True God, By Whom All Of We Live condescends to born between us. The same God becomes itself a man in order to save us.

The Perfection becomes equally to all of us full of inperfections. This fact overwhelms and obliges us to be very grateful. He, trully without a sin, has decided to suffer and die for our faults and to our salvation in order to recover for us.the Lost Paradise.

That is why we must love Him because He saves us by means of love.

At the same time we are sorrow due to all many sins we do last year and ask His pardon.

Gratitude, Pardon and Love. Our Lord, thanks you for all the unmerited things you have given us in 1997. Life, health, work, family and for all our also undeserved success.

Pardon, Gratitude and Love. Looking forward, as legendary Jano, we get to tray se-riously to have less faults, to be sure Jesus becomes a man to die for our salvation and to be gratefull because His sufferings and love Him more.

But between the past and the futur there is the present. The first day of the present year, it is celebrated Maria as God´s Mother. We shall invoke Her under Her Guadalupe´s advo-cation, to interceed for us in face Her Divine Son. Borned without original sin She corres-ponds all Her life with gratitude, love and without any fault. She is worthy to follow, we can also ask Her help, and hope She make us each day be nearly Him.

Let us think every day in 1998 is going to be december 25th to get God reborn in our hearts each morning and increase our love, our gratitude and our proposal to commit less faults.
