Nativity Of The Blessed Virgin Mary

 

Some people think the Blessed Ever Virgin Mary's a dead Roman Catholic or, even worse, a pagan idol. No, she's not, she's the Mother of God. Reflect on that. In the meanwhile, El Senor's honored the Empress of the Americas and Queen of Victories:

Can you imagine the loathsome, faked up, stilted, faux rhetorician Obama doing such a thing? Or Clinton, Bushx2, Biden and all the rest of them. No, of course you can't, it's unthinkable. Yet here we are and about time. An actual US President, perhaps the most important figurehead in the world, honoring the Virgin Mother of our Savior. Wow.

Keen-eyed observers of the perennial battle between good and evil will note that the Moslem siege of Malta was lifted on this day in 1565. Hail the Knights of Malta! Valiant knights! Brave defenders of Christendom, who drove the Sea Jihad away from their shores, and did so under the powerful protection of Our Lady, Queen of Victories. A mere 6 years later the Virgin would strike again, smashing a Jihadic fleet at Lepanto. Some of you will recall that she crushes the serpent under heel.

Do you think that the Mother of God herself, the very person who gave birth to the Savior, will abandon us, her son's faithful people? If so, think again.

PS. By way of footnote on this intriguing post, I happen to know that a chaplain to the Knights of Malta is granted the rare privilege of being able to celebrate the Mass on the shield of a knight in the field of battle.

PPS. How would I, a lowly Texan parson, know such a thing? Well, there you have it. SMOM forever.

Virgen de Guadalupe

The Virgin, Empress of the Americas, and surely you know the story. Mary, the Mother of God, Θεοτόκος, appeared in a series of visions to a lowly peasant, Juan Diego, in 1531, in Mexico. Bear in mind, the gen. pop. was very much recently human sacrifice, cannibal pagan, but Juan was not.

He listened to the Virgin and obediently went to his bishop, telling him that the Virgin Mary wanted a church, or temple, to be built on the site of the apparitions. Of course the Spanish prelate was skeptical and told Juan to go to the site and bring back Castilian roses, even though it was Winter, by way of proof.

Diego did so, and as he delivered miraculous roses to his bishop, the cloth in which they were carried, the Tilma, revealed an image of the Virgin. A miracle, and as time's gone on, the image on Tilma grows more miraculous still. For example, it's made of cactus fiber which doesn't decay, and its eyes contain an image of Diego and possibly 13 others. Here:

Is the Tilma fake, some kind of forgery? Atheists say it is, because of course they would. Indians at the time thought it wasn't and some 9 million converted to the Faith, a remarkable thing. That in itself is to my mind the most miraculous thing, these cannibal, human sacrifice heathen converting to Christianity on account of a miraculous sign of Our Lady, St. Juan's Tilma.

Now, fast forward a few hundred years to today and the UK and Europe, both given over to Godlessness, both intent on flooding their countries with Moslem votes. Do you think, dear friends, that God will be mocked by the risible rainbow leaders of what was once Christendom?

Our Lady of Zeitoun

On the contrary. He'll confound His enemies by turning the people they've imported against the importers. How? By converting them, Tilma style, through apparitions, dreams and miracles. Perhaps you think this absurd, look, then, to 1531 Mexico or latter day Iran.

This in mind, I'm glad that Texas imported Catholics rather than Moslems, apart from Plano. Remember, Mary crushes the Serpent underheel.

Cheers,
