ABOUT THE SPECIAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE MISSIONARY IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

taken at THE NATIONAL SANCTUARY OF OUR SORROWFUL MOTHER 
in Portland, Oregon on August 15, 1991 and its distribution approved by Archbishop Alexander K. Sample of the Archdiocese, Portland in Oregon on July 3,  2014

1.    How can we understand the meanings of this miraculous Image as intended by Our Lady?  The answer is: “in the same ways as the Aztec Indians in 1531 understood them so easily and correctly.”  These ways were: (1) to hear Our Lady’s messages which Juan Diego received directly from Our Lady and (2) to examine all the parts of the Image of Our Lady and the surroundings.  Likewise, we can understand the meanings of the new Image of Our Lady:  (1) by reading Our Lady’s messages from 1990 to 1992 received by Kenneth Staloch who lived near Seattle and (2) by studying all the new parts of Image not present in the original Image.  (These new messages and images are explained in www.marys-touch.com and some printed articles.)

2.    The Special Photograph of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is not separate from the original Image of 1531 but is a full bloom of the original Image.  The reason is that, in the original Image, Our Lady is pregnant with Baby Jesus, while, in the new Special Photograph, she is holding Jesus, her Divine Son in the form of the Holy Eucharist, on the tips of her two hands.  While the Baby is in His Mother’s womb, the Mother is going through the process toward the Birth of the Baby.  Now, having completed her pregnancy, Our Lady is shown with not only the Baby Jesus in the form of the Eucharist but also with the Holy Spirit (close to her right shoulder); she is not wearing the veil any longer (meaning she is ready to receive the Crown and Power of Queen from the Trinity); her mantle has a brighter turquoise color than before meaning more grace and power for fighting and defeating Satan; she has a large image of her Immaculate Heart behind her left arm where her mantle is folded meaning she will save her sons and daughters by gathering them into her Heart (In her 1531 message, she said “Do not be troubled or weighed down with grief.  Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain.  Am I not here who am your Mother?  Are you not under my shadow and protection?  Am I not your fountain of life?  Are you not in the folds of my mantle?  In the crossing of my arms?  Is there anything else you need?”; and she is shown to be radiating a powerful Divine Light from her which contains all the good things in God such as love, justice, life, peace, harmony, beauty, power, and more which Satan and his devils cannot stand even for one moment.  There is already a record of devils having inflicted a family in Gresham, Oregon every night but the family could not repel them with any methods. Only when the Special Photograph of Our Lady of Guadalupe was placed in every room of their house, the devils immediately, completely and permanently ran away.  This gives us an extremely wonderful possibility that if the people in the world humbly and faithfully accept this Photograph, a truly precious gift from Our Lady, and keep it in themselves, in their houses, and everywhere, all devils and evils will ran away and the true peace will come.

3. Our Lord Jesus can always be present with us through faith, prayers, trust, and the Holy Eucharist.  Similarly, Our Lady’s presence and motherly care will be with us if we are always close to her, our Mother and Queen, and, as a way of doing so, keep the Special Photograph of the Image of Our Lady with us and in our homes.  When Our Lady gives a gift, she has a reason.
