- and - *OUR LADY'S MANTLE* Patroness of the Americas This is very interesting, never noticed this before until recently - but if you look at the stars on the blue field of our flag nd the red and white stripes then click the flag icon below, you will see larger images of the Our Lady of Guadalupe. THE STARS: Note the stars on her protective blue mantle! THE STRIPES: Note the red and white rays surrounding her . If you scroll down on the linked page below, you will see the old reproductions created shortly after the apparition. they are more defined in these ancient reproductions as red and white, and blue with stars - reminding us of the stripes in our flag today. + And especially more meaningful now that our new Holy Father, Pope Francis is our first Pope from the Americas - are we called now more than ever before? + click image for more info
(early copy and paste?) Europe was in awe of this news of an image of Our Lady not made by human hands on a piece of cloth, a garment. They wanted to see it but it was an ocean away. With no media, no cameras, no computers, oiled paper was laid on top of the image and traced the exact size an shape as the original. This was done over and over again. Artists painted these images over and over again on canvas and parchment, rolled them up and sent them to waiting audiences all over Europe. + 40 YEARS - TRIAL to CONSECRATION What is hidden in numbers? Notice how the number 40 plays into the time frame over and over again. Study Judaic Numerology in the Old Testament and New. To reveal more information regarding this heaven sent miracle, go to IMMACULATE CONCEPTION + OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE Columbus wa 40 years old when, in 1491, he and Father Perez asked Queen Isabella for permission to sail. (after given permission and preparation, he actually sailed the next year) But from 1491 to the apparition date of 1531 Of Our Lad of Guadalupe, it would be 40 years. (40 in scripture points out a period of trial to time of consecration.) Also note the prophetic names of the 3 ships. Not by chance! For more information, see link for IMMACULATE CONCEPTION above. + The number 40 tells us to pay attention, something important is happening. And in many cases, it point to a new chapter in salvation. A time of purification. A commitment is completed. |
*WHO ARE THEY?* |
|
who are the freedom fighters? are they my relatives ? Ancestors ? am I? No matter where or who we are someone in our family history fought so their children and children's children - you and I - could live in freedom today. Millions, one on one, spilled their life's blood to free us from tyranny reminding us of how our lord, Jesus Christ gave his life blood so we could be freed from sin.
Today, we thank our military for their continued service to keep us free. And recognize how our relatives played a roll in the history of our nation. The list below may be a reminder of those we can ask to intercede. Then we ask, am I? |

*DREAMS / FOREFATERS* |
|
The dreams of our forefathers are not the same as "Dreams From My Father" (1995 - a book written by one man, Barack Hussein Obama, president of our nation.) Our forefathers, in co-operation and prayer, wrote down their dreams for a new nation in 1767 - not in a book - but on parchment and called those dreams the "Constitution of the United Sates" (signed by 40 delegates) and the "Bill of Rights" (signed by 56). The First Amendment followed and was adopted December 15, 1791. Whose dreams are we to follow? +

The battle against evil + 10 Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. 11 Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. + + + THE CHAPLAIN CORPS July 9th, l776 The Continental Congress was pleased to allow a Chaplain to each Regiment, with pay!
there were already 15 Chaplains assigned! + + + 13 Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. 14 So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,j 15 and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. |

*FULL CIRCLE of PRAYER* |
\\ee|
Since the very beginning of our nation, since the first landing in 1607 to today, people have lived and died as freedom fighters. First responders before being organized into fighting groups and peace keepers Many suffered injuries and died in the line of duty. And many warriors, veterans, have simply died of old age and natural causes. These are our intercessors, those who can pray for peace as members of the following: + COMMUNION of SAINTS CLOUD of WITNESSES MYSTICAL BODY of CHRIST + The communion of saints (in Latin, communio sanctorum), when referred to persons, is the spiritual union of the members of the Christian Church, living and the dead, those on earth, in heaven, and, those who are in that state of purification, are all a part of a single Mystical Body, with Christ as the head. Each member of the Comunion of saints contibutes to the good of all, sharing in the welfare of all.' + WHO IS THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHIRST? +
CCC 1396 The unity of the Mystical Body: the Eucharist makes the Church. Those who receive the Eucharist are united more closely to Christ. Through it Christ unites them to all the faithful in one body - the Church. Communion renews, strengthens, and deepens this incorporation into the Church, already achieved by Baptism. In Baptism we have been called to form but one body.233 The Eucharist fulfills this call: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread:"234 + COMMUNION OF SAINTS? THE PRAYERS OF THE HOLY ONES +
CCC 1475 In the communion of saints, "a perennial link of charity exists between the faithful who have already reached their heavenly home, those who are expiating their sins in purgatory and those who are still pilgrims on earth. Between them there is, too, an abundant exchange of all good things."87 In this wonderful exchange, the holiness of one profits others, well beyond the harm that the sin of one could cause others. Thus recourse to the communion of saints lets the contrite sinner be more promptly and efficaciously purified of the punishments for sin. + THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES?
CCC 2683 The witnesses who have preceded us into the kingdom,41 especially those whom the Church recognizes as saints, share in the living tradition of prayer by the example of their lives, the transmission of their writings, and their prayer today. They contemplate God, praise him and constantly care for those whom they have left on earth. When they entered into the joy of their Master, they were "put in charge of many things."42 Their intercession is their most exalted service to God's plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world. |

*WHAT CAN WE DO?* |

FOR THE CHURCH MILITANT The church on earth, (YOU AND ME) is called the Church MIlitant. in purgatory, The Church Penitent, And in heaven, The Church Triumphant.. Do we know how to be members of the Church Militant? Did you know there is now a Field Manual out as of June 2012 called the CHURCH MILITANT FIELD MANUAL?" to teach us how to respond to the call of Spiritual Heroism? + where to buy
+ CHURCH MILITANT FIELD MANUAL by Father Rick Heilman. The spiritual devastation of the last few decades compelled Pope John Paul II to draw up his master plan for the New Millennium, the Apostolic Letter At the beginning of the third millennium, a “program for all times.” In his plan, he emphasized the importance of “starting afresh from Christ”: “No, we shall not be saved by a formula but by a Person.” Thus, Pope John Paul II called for pastoral initiatives that would focus on “Training in Holiness” and “Schools of Prayer.” + Father Rick Heilman covers the following: BE SUPERNATURALLY EMPOWERED BY THE GRACE OF GOD. + BE A COMMISSIONED OFFICER IN THE CHURCH MILITANT + BE IN ALLIANCE WITH THE STRONGEST FORCE IN ALL OF GOD'S CREATION FOR BATTLING EVIL AND RESCUING SOULS - THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS. + NO, WE SHALL NOT BE SAVED BY A FORMULA BUT BY A PERSON -JPII |

*REDEMPTIVE SUFFERING* |
|
The war rages on, and even if our wounded and fallen today are not in the battle of flesh, they are still in the battle. THE WOUNDED: Those wounded who suffer pain every day are still able to offer their pain as redemptive sufferers. +
THE FALLEN: Those who have fallen in battle are still able to fight the war through intercessory prayer as members of the communion of saints, The Cloud of Witnesses and the Mystical Body of Christ. As intercessors, they are more powerful than we know! + No matter where or who we are someone in our family history or ancestry, fought and gave their lives so their children and children's children - you and I - could live in freedom. Millions, one on one, spilled their life's blood to free us from tyranny and reminding us of how our lord, Jesus Christ gave his life blood so we could be saved from sin. |

As a kid in Texas, the Panhandle during the oil boom, I lived near Borger. We went in once a week to buy groceries and see a movie. The talk was almost always about the Rangers coming in and cleaning out the town of ladies of ill repute and drunks. The streets had recently been paved but you could still ride your horse into town and tie him up at one of hitches. The culprits would b eput in jail till they got tired of feeding them and then let them go! + A far cry from when the Rangers protected our Mexican boarder in the early 1800s and the arrests of Old West criminals like Bonnie and Clyde! |
