Virgin of Guadalupe appears in American Continent to begin those places evangelization, continued by Spaniards friars. And Juan Diego takes decision being at God, Jesus Christ and Maria de Guadalupe service

If in Jubilee year coming one can reach absolute pardon. If Pope John Paul II ask also economic pardon for external debts of Countries.

OCTOBER 1999 GUADALUPAN NEWS

VIRGIN MARIA, UNIVERSAL EVANGELIZER.

This month, 12th, is celebrated Day of Nationality. Precious genetic mixture of Europe and America. Shall God be blessed. Spaniards brough us true religion. They teach us the Only True God. By Whom All Things Live.

Nevertheless as His Saintity John Paul II, we must repeat some facts.

Let's take, for instance, ancient Mexicans. They also were artists, it's true, warriors and making human sacrifices with some spiritual sense. But they were also poets, mathematicians, architects and astronomers. They had a very imperfect understanding, it´s also true, of Unique Very True God. But they were susceptible to be inculturated.

With Hernan Cortes, comes between others, Bartholomew de Olmedo, then Juan de Tecto, Juan de Ayora and Pedro de Gante. After them come in 1524,12 Franciscan friars. All were remarkable people but most brilliant Martin de Valencia and Motolinia. Then, Dominics in 1526, Bartholomew of las Casas and Vasco de Quiroga. After 1531, the Agustins. Brief, not more of 100 Priest and Friars. Not all of them spoke Nahuatl nor were acquainted with ancient American people habits and thoughts.

Now let's see. INAH, Mexican Institute of Anthropology and History, in this very moment, states they are more than 250,000, archaeological settlements. More of them were already abandoned when Spaniards arrived. But let's think some others had near 200, 000 inhabitants, as Mexico-Tenoxtitlan. So we can suppose 20 people in each archeological place is very possible. That is, nearly 5.000,000 non Spanish speaking people.

So how comes 100 priest and friars evangelized some millions native people in only 10 years?. And if not so, who evangelized them?

OUR MARVELOUS CELESTIAL MOTHER, MARIA THE VIRGIN!!!

God sends Her appears and let a message written in Indian Juan Diego's Cloak. And She, once again as in Israel, continues Her extraordinary evangelization work. With Her delicacy, modesty, beauty and Her love, She appears in Tepeyac as Saint Maria of Guadalupe to bring us Jesus Christ, Truly God. As good Catholics we must love our mother and our father.. So let's honor this 12th, both of them. Spaniards and Natives, with eternal grateful to God Father, Jesus Christ, and Saint Spirit. Also to His Messenger Virgin of GUADALUPE whom right now, Pope John Paul II, with a beautiful sense of justice, invite us consider Her as a Model in our lives.

 

GUADALUPAN NEWS. SEPTEMBER 1999

August was finished with very good GUADALUPAN news. 24th took place a very important event in Archbishop's Place in Mexico City. It was headed by His Eminence Norberto, Cardinal, Rivera who presented a new book : "Virgin of Guadalupe and Juan Diego Encounter". Written by Mons and Dr, Fidel Gonzalez Fernandez, Eduardo Chavez Sanchez and Jose Luis Guerrero Rosado, leading a research commission to ratify, once again, the real and true Juan Diego's existence , as an advance of his next Canonization.

They presented a book telling us once again more than 45 !!! historic, documented evidences on his life. Produced by native historians before Cortes, from XVI colonial Spanish people. Since 1548, till beginning of XVII century. Nican Mopohua and other Codex you can find in INTERLUPE.

At same time, was communicated a recent designation of Mons Dr, Oscar Sanchez Barba as new Juan Diego's Process Postulator in Rome. He was very grateful to important Mons P Molinari and P. Gumpel´s work on "Bella Copy" in Vatican. Also Mons E. R. Salazar was confirmed as Vicepostulador.

Mons Sanchez Barba gave us an excellent new: the miracle needed to Canonization, was approved recently, also in Rome by unanimous opinion by five physicians from Congregation of Saints. So mentioned book is made finish the Procedure. And with all its spiritual conclusions makes clearer God ´s Mother, Virgin of Guadalupe´s greatness. She is always beautiful, tender, humble and modest. She not only evangelizes half of Earth in XVI Century but now She is a perfect example to evangelize whole World after 2000 year. Therefore its clearer Juan Diego's importance, being Her miraculous messenger.

Shall God be blessed !!!.

And finishing month, on 30th was also presented Father Xavier Escalada´s excellent book titled "Juan Diego, Cuauhtlatoac". An historic novel where is told, in a marvelous way, Blissfull´s life. Since he was born till Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Him.

 

GUADALUPAN NEWS. AUGUST 1999.

Month of Assumption. It is another miracle God Father makes with Maria. Signaled very clear and in many ways, from Her Birth to dead, She is exalted again. God carries Her to heaven as a neat sign of value and so also tell us His will. It is also clear Divinity invites us give Virgin a cult. And to respect, follow, and take Virgin as a mediator in order to show us the way to HIM.

Nobody has been so honored. No person is signaled by Holly Trinity as She. We can not find no person conceived without sin, any person keeps Jesus Christ, God's Son, in her Virginal womb and is raised into heaven by Divinity in the moment of Her dead.

Pope John Paul II understands and follows God's will and proclaims Maria of Guadalupe as Mediator, Evangelizer, Patroness, Mother and Queen of all American Continent. With great splendor, She is converted in Guide, Light and Northern Star of Third Millenium and shows us the way to be with Divinity and help us accomplish God's will. So why we try some times deny Her greatness.

GUADALUPAN NEWS. July 1999.

29th July, Very Saint Virgin Mary's fathers, Joaquin and Ana, are celebrated. It's an opportunity to think why they were choose for taking care God's Mother. Without any doubt they raised an exceptional family, considered convenient for Divinity, to educate the future Queen of Heaven.

Virgin Mary's family is an example She will follow forming Hers and makes grater the values that will permit accomplish the beautiful Psalm that calls Her as "...Adam's daughter and God's Mother..."

We must remark this fact by means of two conclusions. First, fortify families and try our descendents fight for keep this institution. Second one is also clear : a hard defense of LIFE, first of Human Rights, with opposition of abortion.

Both conditions has been very neat manifested by Pope John Paul II when others, even United Nations Organization, has given support of this very early homicide.

Ask Virgin of Guadalupe help us set true families formed, of course, without abortions. Ask Her help us keep ours in a true Christian environment and ask Her light to continue the very hard way of integral education.

 

GUADALUPAN NEWS. JUNE 1999.

In June, only a few months before 2000 year begins, it is important remember some John Paul II´s words since we think he is The Twenty Century Man. "When Jesus was born,... they saw the Child with His Mother Mary. (Mt 2. 11).

In the beginning of His public life, in the Cana wedding, when God's Son realized His first signal,... Mary acts and gives orientation the servants for His Son, with these words: do what He says. (John 2,5). In this sense I have already written: Christ's Mother is presented men as a Son's will speaker in order indicate those things ought to be accomplished and so the Messiah's salvific power will be present. That is why Virgin Mary is a sure way find Jesus Christ...".

"... How do not give importance Virgin's role facing American pilgrim Church in her road to join our Master?. Very Saint Virgin Mary, in a special way, is linked borning Church in all American history. It is by means of Her people arrived find God again..."

"...Since the beginning, Virgin Mary, in Her Guadalupe advocation, has been the Great Signal, with Her maternal and merciful face, very near the Father and the Son, and She invites us live in communion with Them...".

Here ends Pope's words. (From John Paul II, "Church in America". Paulinas Ed. Mexico, 1999). Then how comes we denied Her extraordinary function as mediator since She shows us the way to God and also She offer Herself as our celestial Mother also wanting make lighter our sufferings well merited because our sins?. Always we have to remember Her beautiful words said Beato Juan Diego, we hope soon will be canonized. "Am I not here as your Mother?... Be sure this disease nor any other could afflict you..."

Interlupe is going to open another section because we have received a lot of petitions for prayers. If you want ask some favor you will be able to send an e-mail so Virgin of Guadalupe intercede with God. Confidentially, Mons E. R. Salazar will sent it , freely of course, our Cardinal Norberto and it will be deposed at our Mother's feet. Just in Tepeyac Shrine where is worshipped the real true image miraculously impressed in Juan Diego robe, nearly 500 years before. !!!.

 

GUADALUPAN NEWS. MAY 1999.

Some years before we have tried relate Virgin Maria, in His Guadalupe advocation, as God's Son's Mother and by consequence, Mother of mankind.

We have also compared Her with Spring and flowers, since in Mexico this month is related with them as Equinox just started.

Now, Pentecost remind us Holly Spirit presence and we have another evidence of beginning of Church. With Pope, Pedro, as preserver of Jesus Christ's values, as principal guardian of His lambs and follower of evangelization enormous responsibility.

What about with our Celestial Mother in this?. Which is Her role, designed by God and accepted by Her, in Church building and in front Holly Spirit?.

In Pentecost, near Apostles, She is confirmed with Divinity's extraordinary signals : She is conceived without original sin and at Her time, She conceives Christ by means of HOLLY SPIRIT. Besides with a simple and humble life She knows very clear Her task and gives love, obedience and piety as a testimony, rest of Her life and just now with Her apparitions.

That is why She is a very first person in beginning of Church "... Mother, this is your Son...". Till now with Her life example She approach us God, and teaches how reach Him.

It is not a coincidence Pope John Paul II, without any doubt inspired by Holly Spirit, has called Her as Third Millenium Star of Evangelization.

 

APRIL GUADALUPAN NEWS

April begins in black and soon receives light. First is still Lent, pain, night and darkness. But after only four days everything is transformed. Day, light, joy and Resurrection. Whole world shines because Jesus Christ returns life once again. With His salvation, pardon and joy message, He is reaffirmed as Very True God's Son, Messiah so long awaited, real CREATOR. By Whom all of we live.

Once again it is accomplished a true and prophetic cycle permitting us get out from original sin and all big faults all of we are committing, in order to merit, without need of Adam and Eve, the lost of paradise.

Nevertheless, again Jesus Christ, truly God, dyes because of our sins, but reiteratively manifest us with splendor, He has forgiven our faults in past, present and always. He gives us opportunity to recognize we are sinners. He permits us recover paradise easily and without pain. But in order to be in his Eternal Company, He must suffer by means of His great sacrifice and we, sinners only with a little effort.

So April begins as a &quot;clear-obscure&quot;, Flemish we could say, with pain, joy, dark and light, Lent and Resurrection. Jesus Christ, God's Son, returns remembering us His promises are accomplished and permits when recognizing our faults, with true sorrow, Faith and Love we are able to recover paradise at His side.

What an opportunity to make bigger our repent and our future actions hearing J. S. Bach's beautiful words from his Cantata "Jauchzet Gott in alles landen", BMW 51 :

"O be joyful in God, all ye lands!

Let every creature in heaven and earth exalt his name.

And let us likewise now make offering to our God,

For he hath stood with us always, in the Cross and adversity"

And INTERLUPE ads : Always with our Mother Virgin of Guadalupe´s help!.

 

MARCH 1999 GUADALUPAN NEWS

Those weeks, Interlupe offers his visitors a "1999 Lent Sonata".

First theme : DEAD. Second theme : PAIN. Continuous : PENITENCE. First theme enunciation. Lent begins with Wednesday of Ash in which we most think we are mortals and at End we are going to be converted in ashes.

Second theme enunciation. Lent is time of pain. Our Lord Jesus Christ's Passion invite us think in His sacrifice in order to save us.

Continuous melodic motifs invites us accomplish Penitence to answer so many benefices.

Development.

We are mortals. Our Father Creator make us as His image and similitude, but because our proud we deserve Dead and lost Terrene Paradise where we where left. By Jesus Christ's unmerited Dead, we give up our sins and win, thanks to Him, Last Paradise, that is Heaven with his company. We caused Dead. Life was produced and renewed by our Celestial Father by means of Jesus Christ's Passion. With divine love His Precious Son unfairly receives Dead to give again life. We lost life and recover it by The Son.

Eve and Adam know Pain as they have sinned and lost Paradise where they lived like masters. Jesus Christ accepts and resists Pain to make less our sins. Since then Humankind have physical and spiritual Pain produced by men. Trinity's Second Person receives and accepts spiritual and physic Pain originated by mankind when betray His Creator. Represented at beginning by Adam and Eve but unhappily followed by all of us.

Human Pain and Divine Pain, men's proud and Jesus Christ's Passion. First one is clearly merited by us and produces normal problems. That from God's Son, unfair and unmerited bring us salvation. Man's Pain is just and produced by lack of love to Divinity. Second one, is Divine and due by love to mankind.

Recapitulation

Men's Dead is by lack of love. Human's life is by God's love to them. Everything induces to Penitence in Lent time. Do it permits us receive unmerited Father's love and recognize our sins that always have conduced to Pain and Dead. Even God-Man made Penitence in desert where, as a man, He prepares himself to Dead and Pain to return us, as God, life we fairly lost. Our Dead by lack of love and our life by Penitence, Pain and love.

Coda

Sin, lack of love, Pain and Dead merited by all men. Unfair Pain and Dead without sin, by Our Lord Jesus Christ in order to offer again His company in a New Paradise. Very clear Penitence by God's Son finished with His Dead. Elemental Penitence by us, to have our sins pardoned in face of an overwhelming and painful Christ's Dead by love.

And splendorous, in the middle, is Virgin Mary. With big Pain due to His Precious Son's Dead, She is victorious of Dead by means of love, penitence and Her virtues.

March 25th Annunciation is celebrated. "Rejoice, Full of Grace, Lord is with you", an angel says Her. Jesus Christ, afterwards will say &quot; Here I am, my God. I come to accomplish your will&quot;. Specially signaled by Pope John Paul II to Third Millenium New Evangelization, in Maria de Guadalupe advocation, Our Lady, since the moment She receives the angelical New, answers with submission and bring us Hope. She is Eternal Mediatress which will take us Near Jesus Christ.

 

GUADALUPAN NEWS. FEBRUARY 1999

Still emoted by Pope's last visit, we are going to make a synthesis of messages he left us. They are a real compromise to accomplish.

In all his public speeches, John Paul II ask the whole world to recall Man's values, respect of human dignity, and conserve life, in order to follow Jesus Christ's virtues and example since He gave His life to save us.

He ask all Governments of American Countries act with a serious compromise to get people welfare. And condemned drugs, narcotrafic, materialism, dishonesty, and pity lacking capitalism producing more rich and poor people, going away from progress.

He considers America, from Alaska to Patagonia, as Continent of Hope. And ask us spread all over the world Gospel message to follow Celestial Father's will.

He named Virgin Maria, especially in Guadalupe advocation, New Evangelization Patroness since She was first and real evangelizer in New World. And also ask demand Her help us, understand and follow Divinity's will in next millenium.
