HOW
THE MISSIONARY IMAGE
OF
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE BEGAN and PRAYERS
AND LETTERS FROM THE MEXICAN CHURCH AUTHORITIES
HOW
THE MISSIONARY IMAGE In 1988, Our Lady revealed to Kenneth
Staloch, a locutionist near Seattle, that she desired her original Image
of Our Lady of Guadalupe to tour the United States and other countries in
the Americas. Ken informed Fr.
Walter Winrich, a Maryknoll priest in Mexico, and also with the dedication
of Dan Lynch, an attorney in Vermont, the efforts to carry out Our
Lady’s desire began. The
Mexican Bishops, however, were hesitating as they were worried about the
possible damages to the Image and also the likely resentment of the
Mexican people for removing the Image from the Basilica in Mexico City.
As an alternative solution, the Mexican Bishops offered to give two
exact replicas of the original Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the
Church in the United States, which Our Lady accepted.
These replica Images were called the
Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the door for Our
Lady’s Image visiting all states of the U.S.A. opened. On June 16, 1991, the Missionary Image
of Our Lady of Guadalupe made its first visit to the United States and was
displayed at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC
where the International Rosary Congress was being held, and this was
followed by many other visits all over the United States. On July 29, 1991, three days before the
arrival of the Missionary Image in the International Airport at Portland,
Oregon, in the late afternoon that day, the entire Portland area was
covered with an unusually dark clouds and then was severely pommeled with
golf ball-sized hails for a while, which was something never happened in
Oregon for several decades or longer.
When the hailstorm ended, a extremely bright rainbow appeared in
the east sky and, soon, the entire eastern and northern sky turned into
dazzling golden color.
This unusual phenomenon of the raibow and golden-color sky
continued much longer than the usual rainbows.
As it was so fascinating and magnificent, it was thought to be a
sign for some impending and very important undertaking by Heaven. This time, could this amazing rainbow and gold-colored sky in the Portland sky on July 29, 1991 signal the approaching victory of Our Lady against Satan and his devils within our current age? Could it also be intended by God to alert us to realize the importance and urgency of this era and bravely begin helping Our Lady in saving as many souls in the world as possible? It also seems that this celestial phenominon was a sign for the birth of a special gift from Our Lady to be soon given to us in the form of a special photograph of the Missionary Image of Our Lady (now available). This special photograph was taken on August 15, 1991 at the National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother in Portland and must be a truly precious and holy Image signifying Our Lady’s mercy and intimate Presence with her children and also a powerful force that can drive out Satan and his devils from our hearts, our homes, and our world. The birth of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe must also be a sign that the Blessed Mother’s purpose did not end with the miracles of 1531 and the subsequent mass conversions of the Latin Americans to the Catholic Faith, but continues especially in our days which are enormously and hopelessly burdened with the increase of abortions, the collapsing of many families, the incease of terrible wars and other cruelties, and the weakening and loss of the tradition Catholic Faith and moral discipline.

On July 3, 2014, twenty-three years after the year 1991, the Archbishop of Portland, His Excellency Alexander Sample issued a positive and encouraging letter about this photograph and Fr. Peter Fehlner, the former Rector of Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, stated in his private letter of November 12, 2011 that he was convinced of this photograph being miraculous. MEXICAN
CARDINAL AND BISHOPS’ PRAYERS
AND LETTERS Conference
of All Mexican Bishops The
Conference of all Mexican Bishops in their plenary meeting, on their very
first day, April 8, 1991, by means of the Archbishop of Guadalajara, Juan
Jesus Posadas Ocampo, made the following prayers on petition of all of the
Bishops: “Mother of the True
God, and our Mother, Our Lady of Guadalupe, we beg you that your trip
through all the Americas be realized now beginning with the Marian
Congress of the Rosary in the National Sanctuary of the Immaculate
Conception in Washington, D.C., the next month of June.
We know that you want to end abortion in the world and convert
twenty nine million Latins who have left the Church and have taken
themselves over to the sects. Lady,
help us support your mission with our prayers in order that your
Missionary Image will be well received in all the Americas.”
Basilica
of Our Lady of Guadalupe OPEN
LETTER TO THE The
Catholics of Mexico through me are sending you an image of Our Lady of
Guadalupe. It
is not the original, but rather a Missionary Image which was stationed
approximately twenty steps behind the original. Our
Lady wishes to use that image to help bring back to the Church of her Son
the many millions of people who have left it. At
the same time Our Lady wishes to end the horrible crime of abortions.
We,
in Mexico, offer our prayers to you attending the International Marian
Congress of the Rosary in Washington, D.C. In
the name of the Abbot of the Basilica, Msgr. Guillermo Schulenburg, I
remain, s/Msgr.

Episcopal
Basilica
of Our Lady of Guadalupe OPEN
LETTER TO THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE The
Catholic people of Mexico through me give to the Catholic people of the
United States of America, a Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
It is an exact photographic replica of the original Miraculous
Image located in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
It is made to commemorate the 450th anniversary of her
apparitions, December 12, 1981. May
Our Lady of Guadalupe fulfill the prophecy of Pope John Paul II made on
that day the Basilica will be a center “from which the light of the
Gospel of Christ will shine out over the whole world by means of the
Miraculous Image of His Mother.” The
word Guadalupe in Spanish means “River of Light.”
May the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe be a River of
Light on her Journey throughout the United States.
May she be well received and supported in her mission to end
abortion and convert millions of hearts to the Sacred Heart of her Son
Jesus and His holy Church through her Immaculate Heart! May
she, the Star of Evangelization be out hope! I
bless the Missionary Image and her evangelical mission. s/Msgr.
Guillermo Schulenburg Prado A
Prayer for the The
Catholic people of Mexico and I pray to God that the paths of the Journey
of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe throughout the United
States of America, become rays of Our Lady’s love, care, protection and
help for all of her children, particularly the unborn. May
she end without exceptions the horrible evil of abortion. May
she convert millions of hearts to the Sacred Heart of her Son Jesus and
His holy Church through her Immaculate Heart. May
all pro-life forces unite under the banner of Our Lady of Guadalupe with
her title of “Protectress of the Unborn.” I
bless the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and her evangelical
mission that began under her protection almost 460 years ago. I
congratulate all the promoters of such a praiseworthy mission and with
pleasure I commend them to the hands of Our Lord. Lady,
help us support your mission with our prayers in order that your
Missionary Image may be well received in America for the glory of God and
the honor of His holy Mother! +Juan
Jesus Cardinal Posadas Ocampo Dr.
Daniel Lynch I
greet you with best regards and wish you every good thing in the Lord. I
am happy to let you know that I received news of your apostolic work in
the beloved country of the United States of America, where you promote
knowledge and veneration of the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe. Your
servant congratulates you and prays that the Virgin of Guadalupe bless
your praiseworthy purposes. In
saying this, I am pleased to sign this letter with great affection, in
Christ Jesus. s/ERNESTO
CARDINAL CORRIPIO AHUMADA Basilica
of Our Lady of Guadalupe September
30, 1992 This
is to certify that any Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe bearing the
signatures of Abbott Schulenburg of the Basilica and Cardinal Ernesto
Corripio of Mexico is an authentic official reproduction of the original
Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Any
person or group calling such Images fraudulent is committing a serious and
grave falsehood. We
wish to assure you that Images bearing the above endorsements also contain
our blessing. s/Msgr.
