Miss Mexico

Estimado Felipe, ya anda circulando en internet el último reportaje alemán con las actividades ordinarias del Santo Padre, a propósito de su cumpleaños.

Precisamente al tomar posesión de la Capilla privada no ha hecho innovaciones, sino que ha conservado el altar de Juan Pablo II “AD DEUM, AD ORIENTEM”.

Echele una miradita.

Las misas privadas no deben ser obstáculo, por ahora, para utilizar un único altar.

Aprendí esta semana que las iglesias antiguas, tenían tres altares. ¿O me equivoco?

Y como gritaron los cristeros: ¡Viva Cristo Rey, Viva Sta. Ma. Gpe!

Pablo, if you wish, you can write your questions in english here.

Hello, Margaret,

God bless to you, too! I love that fiery Irish blood. Did you ever read about the Irish St. Patrick Brigade, those Catholic Irish who deserted the U.S army to fight alongside our people because they wanted to be on the Catholic side in the Mexican-America war? They saw from across the border, that Mexican priests, before a battle, would pray for the troops and sprinkle their cannons with holy water. They remembered the religious persecution they had suffered back home, and still endured in the Union ranks; and they asked themselves why they were being asked by protestant to kill fellow-Catholics. It is a most fascinating read. We still, today, honor those Irishman who saw themselves as Catholics, first, and foremost.

But that aside,it is time for all brothers and sisters united in the one true Faith, to make a combined effort to confront the diabolical forces which threaten to engulf us. Yes, I do sincerely believe we are in that final confrontation of which Sr. Lucia spoke! The lukewarm, Our dear Lord will vomit out of His mouth. It’s time for all to take sides. We must help each other because the devil has waged his fiercest battle against our hierarchy, and thus, so many of them are diabolically disoriented. I love them, though and do pray for them, specially Our Holy Father.

Hola Padre:

Muy interesante tu punto de vista, creo que lo comparto.

Me parece que la intención de la diseñadora puede ser buena, recordarle al mundo los miles de cristianos asesinados por el gobierno de entonces no está mal, menos en el contexto de la approbación del aborto, sin embargo sí considero que es de poco respeto mezclar algo tan severo con algo tan frívolo y futíl como un concurso de belleza.

Pablo,

Take a look here:

http://www.storialibera.it

It is an Italian site, but you can go to the “english articles” location to the right of the screen. The first article on the list is a beautiful account of the Cristeros.

After reading the article, go back to the homepage, and scroll down the screen to the image of O.L. of Guadalupe, and click on, for a pictorial display that’s absolutely awesome!

The dress on Miss Mexico is gorgeous, but I have to agree with Padre. I don’t believe it is the right venue for teaching our Catholic past.

God bless!

Dear Martha,

Thank you very much, this was a good site.

God Bless You

Hi, Pablo,

Right off, I have to tell you that I don’t know where you could obtain such a dress. It is my understanding that the dress was specially designed and made for the contest. From that, I would assume that there was only one made.

And, I also understand that the designer herself comes from a background of Cristero lineage. Her intentions were good. I understand that. The sight of that girl in that dress does evoke a sentiment of “Mexicanismo Catholico!” However,reason must always guide emotion. The problem with us Mexican Catholics, is that most often we are merely cultural, sentimental, guided-by-passion-types. That in itself wouldn’t be so bad, if only we would let ourselves be restrained and guided by reason and doctrinal Faith.

Don’t you think the dress is immodest? I certainly wouldn’t want my daughter showing her midriff.

As for the Holy Father,I pray for him daily! I understand he is surrounded by wolves. Remember when he was elected, he asked that we pray for him so that he would not flee out of fear of the wolves?

It can get rather discouraging at times, no, Pablo? I am very much aware of the perilous times in which we live. Thank you for reminding us to pray also for Cardinal Rivera. I will do that.

En los Sagrados corazones,

Dear Martha,

Thank you for your kind reply.Yes, I saw the dress was immodest. I saw the girl had bandoleros surrounding the image of our Mother. It was out of Christian Charity that I did not point to the obvious.Many souls are dying from spiritual salvation, even those who think the are doing God’s work. If we see someone spiritually starving, we are to be gentle and kind; would we drop a man dying of thirst into the ocean and tell him to drink? First, we must realize there is a problem, define the problem, and find a remedy, then act on it, quickly. Please read Saint Athanasius, his life story. Do not be afraid, and do not think the world is going to give you time to explain your side of things or give you your ‘venue’.
As Cardinal Norberto Rivera has said, “Pray your Holy Rosary”.When you pray your Rosary, you are walking in Heavens Garden, spiritually.
We are in deep trouble, and only our prayers to Heaven will get us out of it.
With assurances of my prayers on your behalf as you search for the Priest Par Excellant, Jesus Christ, for your salvation, I remain yours truly,

pablo

Dear Martha,

It is a pleasure to communicate with you via e-mail…you seem to be a very pleasant woman.
Martha, we as catholics are not automatically guaranteed entry to Heaven. We must constantly recieve Holy communion, confess, pray and do penance. Maybe a better word should have been work instead of search. We will not know until we die and face Christ in our first judgement whether or not we will go into Heaven. We are not “saved” as the protestant love to claim; this is a sin, presuming on God’s mercy.If we go to mass because we have to or confess because we have to, we are better off not going at all. If we work hard for our salvation, if we shed our tears of repentance, if we pray, con ganas, and we try to resist temptation, this is pleasing to the Lord.This is actual participation at mass. God destroyed the world by flood, not because men were sinning,but because they did nothing to resist sin.Peter, the Pope denied Christ three times out of fear; there are thousands of stories about great leaders of the Church failing the test because they had fear. Even though they all claimed to love our Lord.Peter walked side by side with Christ for three years and still fear overcame him. It is proper for one catholic to encourage another to be not afriad. It is even more proper they pray for one another.

In June, I will go to the Monastary in New Mexico. If you allow me to, I will say a Rosary for you and your loved ones while I am there. I will also ask the Father Prior to say a Mass for you. To see this Monastary, please go to http://www.ourladyofguadalupe.com I believe you will find this site interesting. I go ther from time to time to beg for God’s mercy in a Holy place.By the way, I was not able to see the Guadalupe pictures on the Italian site you recommended. The site is a very good one, thank you.

In Jesus and Mary Immaculate,

pablo

Dear Martha,

I was glad to hear you were booted from your parish…it seems at this time the Lord is giving His children these crosses. When you say we must come to the truth, you inspire those of us whose souls realize there is something very wrong going on right now.
I am certain you have heard of the di vinci code, a book that is out and deals much with St. Mary Magdalene.May I send you via e-mail a dissertation on St. Mary? I need to send it as an attachment.

Arguing is not good, defending the truth is. If you listen to the Truth,as you progress, you will also hear your Guardian Angel, at the times he needs to warn you of a mortal danger you need to avoid; you will hear the Holy Angels, the Mother of Mercy will speak to you, and the Lord will speak to you as you walk in the Garden of Heaven, praying your Holy Rosary.
All these things are parts of the Truth, so as you get closer to the Truth, and the Lord is the Truth, why shouldn’t we hear and see them?
When I send you things via e-mail and you send things to me, they are not for our personal satisfaction, but rather to be used as tools to spread the Kingdom of Christ. If we fail to do something, Christ will judge us much more harshly than for any mortal sin we might commit.I would be a pleased to hear from you.
In Jesus and Mary Immaculate,

pablo

No me imagine que existiera una mierda como esta Politica y Fe… dios mio te lo suplico que no quiten el Laicismo

Pablo,

There is nothing private about anything of the above exchanges. This is a public forum.

Hoy he amanecido pregunto. asi que agradeceria que aclararan mis dudas, tan ilustres pensadores que visitan este sitio.
Claro que cada uno aporta lo que tiene, y el lexico es de acuerdo a lo que tiene en la mente,que a veces es dificl plasmarlo, pero creo que todos entendemos la idea principal, saludos Javi. a que se refieren con el “laicismo”? de quienes son los rostros que salen en la falda del lado derecho?
los que estan junto a la Virgen de Guadalupe, estan rezando? no tendran una imagen mas ampliada para poder apreciar?
saludos

Queridos lectores, es una verguenza para México que Miss Mexico porte ese tipo de vestido. No son ni masones de Europa ni de los Estados Unidos que colgaron estos mexicanos al contrario fueron mexicanos catolicos defendiendo esta religion impuesta por los Españoles , de verdad que es triste y vergonzoso tambien , lean la verdadera historia y no se basen a lo que dicen los sacerdotes , por favor sean ustedes mismos…

Viva el Estado laico , viva la Republica Mexicana.

Pue Disculpen pero el vestido es hermoso….soy dise�adora y creo q si ultimamante se profanan las imagenes de nuestr religion… pero es culpa de quien la compra … pues para mi ese vestido es una muetra del orgullo q siente la dise�adora por su tradicion y religion… y el orgullo de mostrar q en Mexico se sabe dar la vida ella ….

asi q en ni muy humilde y sincera opinion el vestido no lleva mala intencion …
