Am I not here who am your Mother?
Listen, put it into your heart, my youngest and dearest son, that the thing that frightens you, the thing that afflicts you, is nothing: do not let it disturb you? Am I not here, I who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need something more? Let nothing else worry you or disturb you.
HYTHE, KENT, UK (Catholic Online) - Amalekites. Not very nice people. Sacrificed baby's to the god of darkness. God sent Abraham to them to make them extinct.
Aztecs. Also not too nice. Sacrificed people by ripping their still-beating hearts out of their chests to placate the god of darkness, Tezcatlipoca. For one feast they sacrificed atop of the great pyramid of Tenaochtitlan 80,000 people in three days with a line of victims stretching 2 miles long. God sent his Mother to them to save them from extinction.
Today is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It commemorates the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to a little native man, Saint Juan Diego, of the Aztec people.
Her coming to the Aztecs heralded the conversion of over 10 million people in a few years.
In a few decades the people that were a waring culture, intent on conquering different tribes of peoples to find more victims for sacrifice, had become peace loving and God fearing and had replaced human sacrifice with the Holy Sacrifice of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
We need her again today.

And from the streets of Mexico, here we have BIRDS flying in all directions and dogs screaming at the door to get in, as the faithful Guadalupanos drink to their hearts bliss,sending bombs on bottle rockets, that over the years has killed, maimed many of pour souls, men now are lying all in a pile of wretched humanity. Thieves visit the Villa today, pickpockets holiday. Never been to a brothel that didn´t bear her image, or a tavern that held her in high esteem. She is the lie of the devil, and the birds and dog´s wish they would keep the fire bombs from exploding and scaring the heck out of God´s creatures.
I lived in Mexico City two years.
The ENORMOUS capital of Mexico was a mess then, is now, and will PROBABLY be a mess until the end of time. It has NOTHING to do with anything else but the corruption and unmitigated greed of their government and its politicians.
Mexico City has over 20 million people now. When I was there it was a mere 10 million. For the life of me I can't IMAGINE what it will be 50 years from now.
I remember the TREMENDOUS thunder storms, blackening the sky, the entire downtown area on stilts as the city sunk lower and lower into its own mud, all the beggars, the Reforma, Chapultepec Park and the President's Palace.
Every once in a while El Presidente would come out onto the palace balcony with "El Grito"--that is, the shout: "VIVA MEXICO! VIVA MEXICO!"
It's quite a place. I went back there a few years ago. It was still the same, though a bit dustier. The cops were crooked but as I have gone through life, living in the middle east, in fact, I realized that most third world cops are crooked. They have no way to live because their third world countries pay them next to nothing to live. Heck of a way to have to live.
