Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
And the mystery of her eyes. I have seen the tilma. It has enormous impact when you see the original. >p?http://www.sancta.org/eyes.html
Our Lady: love her, hate her, disbelieve in her, relegate her to the status of “ordinary sinner”, none of it matters. She is what she is: the Mother of God, Our Lady of the Americas, and the one who through her divine Son crushes the serpent’s head.
She’s praying for all of us, whether we deserve it or not. Ave Maria, Our Lady of Guadelupe!
I’m not Catholic, B-Chan, but I respect and revere Mary as the Mother of Our Lord. God chose her and she followed obediently. The tilna has always fascinated me.
Thank you for your beautiful words - you’ve made me cry here. :)
I do believe she is praying for us. And I pray it’s God’s will that America is not destroyed.
here,here...from a southern Baptist backslider.... God Bless Ya’ll....
We in the US don’t have never lived under a royal household or long term monarchy. If you are going to pledge your faithfulness to the King whose kingdom never ends, it would be wise to have great respect for the queen mother.

According to many scientists who have inspected the image, it seems that in her eyes, in both of them and in the precise location as reflected by a live human eye, could be seen many figures that have been extensively analyzed and seem to correspond to the shape and size of human figures located in front of the image. In 1929, Alfonso Marcue, who was the official photographer of the old Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City, found what seemed to him to be a clear image of a bearded man reflected in the right eye of the Virgin. Initially he did not believe what was before his eyes. How could it be? A bearded man inside of the eyes of the Virgin?. After many inspections of many of his black and white photographs he had no doubts and decided to inform the authorities of the Basilica. He was told that time to keep complete silence about the discovery, which he did.
More than 20 years later, on May 29, 1951, Jose Carlos Salinas Chavez, examining a good photograph of the face, rediscovers the image of what clearly appears to be a bearded man reflected in the right eye of the Virgin, and locates it on the left eye too.
Since then, many people had the opportunity to inspect closely the eyes of the Virgin on the tilma, including more than 20 physicians, ophthalmologists.
The first one, on March 27, 1956, was Dr. Javier Torroella Bueno, MDS, a prestigious ophthalmologist. In what is the first report on the eyes of the image issued by a physician, he certifies what seems to be the presence of the triple reflection (Samson-Purkinje effect) characteristic of all live human eyes and states that the resulting images are located exactly where they are supossed to be according to such effect, and also that the distortion of the images agree with the curvature of the cornea.
The same year another ophthalmologist, Dr. Rafael Torrija Lavoignet, examined the eyes of the image with an ophthalmoscope in great detail. He observed the apparent human figure in the corneas of both eyes, with the location and distortion of a normal human eye and specially noted a unique appearance of the eyes: they look strangely "alive" when examined.
Many other examinations by ophthalmologists have been done of the eyes of the image on the tilma after these first ones. With more or less details all agree with the conclusions of the ones mentioned above.

That would be the case with the image of a family in the center of the Virgin's eye, in times when families are under serious attack in our modern world. The image of various human figures that seem to constitute a family, including various children and a baby carried in the woman's back as used in the 16th century, appears in the center of the pupil, as shown in this great image of the right eye highlighting the family, generously provided by Dr. Tonsmann. See a video on the eyes images, with Dr. Aste Tonsmann.
Our Lady is the perfect Christian because she made the perfect sacrifice: everything, including her Son. Her duty is to bring God to us, a duty which cost her everything she loved. And all she asks in return is "do whatever He tells you" (John 2:5).
If only I would!
I hope the Lady doesn’t forget to rescue this poor nation in spite of the 53 percenters who abandoned her.
Yes, thanks for the reminder. Hillary has placed her government before her god ... correction .... Hillary has made her government her god.
Beautiful pic and quote. Does anyone know the artist’s name?
How did I miss that? What did they say? That is indescribably dense.
There is no artist...google the story. It is quite remarkable.
I wish someone would look at her eyes now and see if there is something else in them.
Oh sorry, you were talking about the other graphic.
I’m so sorry, but I did not believe you. I had to look it up for myself.
You are absolutely correct! I am appalled by Clinton.

I used to travel to Mexico a couple of times a year for business (no, I’m not a drug dealer...I had a small jewelry company). Any one with any knowledge of Mexico, and I would assume our SoS would have extensive knowledge of our southern neighbor, knows the importance and story behind Our Lady of the Guadalupe.
What a poseur.
