But there are those Muslims who do live Islam and become Christian.

“They probably won’t want to mention Our Lady of Victory”

In an effort to broker peace on Cyprus between Greeks and Turks, Pope Paul VI returned Muslim banners taken during the battle 400 years earlier. Totally off-topic, but interesting.

I find it utterly intriguing. And it's interesting to me that in the last year, I have had a renewed devotion to Guadalupe, as she called herself to St. Juan Diego, "Mother of the True God." She is also Patroness of the Americas, and of the Pro-Life movement. (But you knew all that...) We can do worse than honor her, and if we ever needed special spiritual help, we need it now.

(But you knew all that...)

No, actually I didn't. Being an agnostic and all, I don't follow the details of any particular religion's beliefs as closely as I might.

We can do worse than honor her, and if we ever needed special spiritual help, we need it now.

Indeed.

“...mysticism and its not Christian...”

Christian and Jewish mysticism are different than pagan mysticism. Scripture says the Father alone knows the time of HIS return - how is that not a secret held by the Father? Of course there are secrets!!!

Thank you. The image is amazingly dense with symbolism. I had no idea!

**amazingly dense with symbolism**

That's what caused so many conversions!
