This is good. Our church, with its large Hispanic contigent, has a shrine to Our Lady of Guatelupe. I think about how that one image was able to convert millions of savage Aztecs, and pray that a similar miracle may occur for the muslims. I do know that they at least honor Mary to a small extent. May she bring them all to her Son!!!
Over 10 years they say because of this image, but there was more to the overall conversion of the Aztecs than that image of the unScriptural Mary of Catholicism, while the devil will again convert many with another image in the future:
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (Revelation 13:15)
Of course; Spanish savagery played NO part in the 'converting' at all.
(Spain learned SOMETHING from being subjected to Muslim rule for a while.)
Amen!
And if they can't make it all the way to her son; they can cling to her alone...
