1. Who is the
"Mother of God" and why is it important?
Mother of God is
holy power. She is
known worldwide for thousands of names. In
the West we might know her as Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, Who is clothed with the
sun, the Virgin Mary.
History
of Our
Lady of Guadalupe showcases one of the most exciting visits from the
Virgin Mary in the world.The story of how it was transmitted, is the fact that
it appeared about 500 years ago was beaten down, poor, enslaved by the Nahua
(Aztec) Indian. His
name was fundamentally Cuauhtlatoatzin, it Eagle, and he was one of the
survivors medicine. In
our culture, eagle sees two of the world as a mediator between heaven and the
holy people on earth.
After
the conquest of Mejico, during the current cultural upheavals and wars, the
name was Cuauhtlatoatzin Juan Diego. One
day, he, the old man, was an ancient hill sacred to the peoples of the
Nahua-temple where Tonanzin, Goddess of the Nahua was torn down by forced labor
of local residents. Suddenly
appear on the hill arrest woman in a gown of rose and star mantle. She
spoke these words I am glad that we, as Guadalupaños / how to keep close to
our hearts, like La Esperanza, the last hope for all things: "Have you
forgotten? I'm your mother. You are under my protection."
Cuauhtlatoatzin
and his people were in need of protection, they wanted their Mother of God. But
as the elders in our families remind us of La Senora de Guadalupe is also known
by many names, including most prominently the name of his beloved La Conquista.
This
means the Virgin, who won all hearts. She
is also the patron of those who were wounded, Lady conquered. Although
many it represents the Virgin Mary of Christianity, for others it represents
the divine feminine in all, the embodiment of female sanctity.
Because
she did not seem high from the high, the richest, most powerful, most
intelligent, but rather a native healer who called himself ", but a bit of
rope, tiny leaves," compared with its value ... for
us, the conservatives, the compassionate light of ever catching the merciful
love of our dead, and we begin to burn brightly in our lives. Mother
of God often seems to come to those of us who somehow also a little frayed
ropes, small leaves on the wind. Thus, it
is also known as Reweaver from solved. Calm Center of Storm.
2. Why did
you decide to write a book about it?
The
book contains a strong woman Unleash many stories of the soul, which were blown
about. It
describes many of us seek to re-center on a daily basis in compassion Great
Woman, La Morena, the Black Madonna, La Lupita, Amma, Mami, Nuestra Madre, our
Mother. We
live in a world where some have opted not to sign a saint. And
yet, many of us have decided to continue the Mother of God, in particular, in
this instance.
Although
some of the fun of the sacred culture, some of the "pay to degrade the
soul," and some say, the sacred is the exclusive prerogative of only a few
self-appointed, I see that it is time to gather the courage to say out loud
what is now the Holy Mother is still deeply wanted and demand, many souls. Despite
all attempts to naysaying, to destroy it, measure it, and limit it to humiliate
those who like to follow her - in spite of all this, the ancient God of Mercy
continues to appear to us daily. It
leads us to compassion, wisdom, blessings beyond merely human means. Sometimes
it appears, yes, in full, complete hearing, the full heart knowing, sometimes
saving lives in other message delivery that brings true peace to those in
prisons for many species.
3. As the Mother of
God differ from the other holy women?
I've
written over these four decades, the wild girl, a wise woman, and now the Holy
Man. I think it's
the same with a beautiful name, mother. If
there's one thing that stands between men and women who aspire to go to the
Mother of God, regardless of what name they know it, ancient or modern ... is
that, when asked who she was, the majority always talking softly and with great
love some version of "Ella es mi Madre, she's my mother." Let it be so for all in need.
