Our Lady of Guadalupe…

Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patron saint of the America’s. All of the America’s, North, South, and Central. Isn’t that cool? Many people have heard the story of how she appeared to Juan Diego (who is now a saint) and told him to speak to the Bishop about building a church on top of a mountain. The bishop was reticent and demanded a sign. Mary showed to Juan Diego several rose plants blooming in the middle of winter which she picked herself and arranged within his tilma (an outer garment worn by Aztec men). The PowerPoint below is about this tilma and the miraculous, scientifically proven things about it. Enjoy!

Congratulations, you really helped…

437,000 petition signers in 168 countries! That is awesome. Read how the C-FAM organizations’ petition to protect the family was presented to the U.N. this week.

In the article, they mention that the petition will remain open with the hope of presenting 1,000,000 signatures to the U.N. General Assembly in the Fall. I say we send this out to everyone we know and get to the million mark ASAP. Here’s the link again…http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.95/default.asp
