Remembering Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for US!

[nmh]

Let’s start the new year right and CHRISTmas right and give CHRIST the proper credit and the center of our attention. Mary is just another sinner and does not supercede Christ. I don’t know how much clearer the Bible can be on CHRIST! Stop aiding Satan and being distracted by Mary.

1Tim.2:5

[5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Heb.8
[6] But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Heb.9:15

[15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Heb.12:24

[24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

It is the HOLY SPIRIT that intercedes or Christians;

NOT MARY!

Rom.8:26

[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Stop giving Satan standing through paying homage to Mary.

[OpusatFR]

Thanks! Beautiful.

My wife is from Mexico — even through we are not Catholic, we are getting flowers for our statue of Our Lady today.

I was at the Basilica in Mexico City the week that the Pope John Paul canonized Juan Diego. That was interesting and historic, as you can imagine.

[freedumb2003]

Ah, another Mary-basher, I see.

God chose Mary to bear His Only Begotten Son, but to you she is just some chick.

You post shows that you, like all Mary-bashers, don’t understand the relationship of Mary to the Church.

[mlizzy]

"... Stop aiding Satan and being distracted by Mary ..."

My husband is currently writing a book called "The Ten Biggest Lies About the Catholic Church." I would imagine there will be a chapter on Mary.

All the saints loved her and admired her. All great priests, popes, and bishops admired her. And has a small child ever turned away from her watchful eye?

Mary was the only human being to walk the face of this earth who didn't sin that wasn't God. That makes her pretty important and worthy of admiration, not to mention she was the vessel that carried her Son, Our Christ the King!

You are not Catholic, yet have a statue of Our Lady? That's cool.:) I'm always encouraging other faiths to recite the Rosary, for it was not intended for Catholics only, and it can only serve to strengthen the bond between mother and child. Mary loves us all so very much ... P.S. Do you have any photos from the Basilica when Juan Diego was canonized?

[A.A. Cunningham]

Here's a few you always omit when you cherry pick Scripture.

"For Moses said: Honor thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die." Mark 7:10

"And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" Luke 1:42-43

"Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed." Luke 1:48

It is the HOLY SPIRIT that intercedes or(sic) Christians;

NOT MARY!

FAIL

"I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:" 1 Timothy 2:1

I'll intercede on your behalf and pray that ignorance will be a mitigating factor in your particular judgment.

"I will show and give to all people all my love, my help and my defense. Because I am your merciful mother and the mother of all nations on this earth" –Our Lady of Guadalupe, revealing herself to St. Juan Diego.

You really need to read up on Our Lady of Guadalupe. Are you aware that Christ is in the picture/famous image on the tilma of St. Juan Diego.

The natives of Mexico at that time recognized that. There were countless conversions to Catholicism because of it. And those conversions still are occurring today.

[freedumb2003]

I may have those pics — I’ll look around (I think I was digital by that time LOL)

My favorite quote from Mother Angelica. What will all the Mary-bashers say when they are confronted at the moment of their death with not honoring the Mother of God?

"Never apologize for the Blessed Virgin Mary!"

You can NOT separate Mary from Christ because you end up rejecting the Incarnation

From The words of GK Chesterton...

When I was a boy a more Puritan generation objected to a statue upon my parish church representing the Virgin and Child. After much controversy, they compromised by taking away the Child. One would think that this was even more corrupted with Mariolatry, unless the mother was counted less dangerous when deprived of a sort of weapon. But the practical difficulty is also a parable. You cannot chip away the statue of a mother from all round that of a new-born child. You can not suspend the new-born child in mid-air; indeed you cannot really have a statue of a new-born child at all. Similarly, you cannot suspend the idea of a new-born child in the void or think of him without thinking of his mother. You cannot visit the child without visiting the mother; you cannot in common human life approach the child except through the mother. If we are to think of Christ in this aspect at all, the other idea follows as it is followed in history. We must either leave Christ out of Christmas, or Christmas out of Christ, or we must admit, if only as we admit it in an old picture, that those holy heads are too near together for the haloes not to mingle and cross.” — The Everlasting Man, by G.K. Chesterton

Let’s start the new year right and CHRISTmas right and give CHRIST the proper credit and the center of our attention.

Let's start this new conversation right and bear in mind that Christmas was when the one who called himself the TRUTH was born; and let's give the TRUTH the proper credit and make the TRUTH the center of our attention.

And one way to do that might be to know and understand Catholic teaching BEFORE attacking it. It's perfectly understandable for someone who claims to love Jesus to question and debate our beliefs once he has taken the trouble to find out what we truly believe. It is self-contradictory to claim to love the truth and then to assume falsehoods about our teaching.

Remember when The-Heathen-Hillary asked: “Who painted it?”?

[mlizzy]

Very nice Chesterton quote and icon.

[ErnBatavia]

As Hillary said a few months ago, “That’s a beautiful picture...who painted it?”

[Mr Rogers]

“All the saints loved her and admired her. All great priests, popes, and bishops admired her.”

Pity that the Apostles don’t mention her much besides the birth story...and not at all after Acts 1...
