Wow. I just fell in love with the Virgin of Guadalupe. I'm neither Catholic nor Mexican so I knew nothing about her. Thank you, Matt, for sharing this beautiful lesson with us. 🙏
wait till you hear more about it, like whats in her pupils or that the paint has no pigments... or that the textil fiber is from cactus and don't last long (15-30 years) and it even survived without a scratch a bomb attack in front of it in 1921. Fun fact. Columbus ship names where: Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina... which in spanish can be translated to "St. Mary painting the girl." God gives us many signs... we just often don't want to see them.
Google her to find much more. For example, the stars on her blue mantle match the pattern of stars as they would have appeared from the perspective of looking down to Earth, at noon on the day/time of the apparition 500 years ago. In addition, it plays a very beautiful harmony when set to musical notes, which if a few were off would not be harmonious. Many believe the heavenly music St. Juan Diego heard near the hill, that drew him up in the first place, was this very melody.
Please come home to the kingdom of God on earth the holy Catholic Church which IS Jesus Christ himself on earth his mystical body! The holy Catholic Church is the ONLY CHURCH there is. Protestant’s belong to 40,000+ man made CULTS which are Pagan and anti Christ. To reject the holy Catholic Church is to reject Jesus Christ himself! Watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. The Papacy can NOT be destroyed. Don’t call protestant’s Christian! (there’s ONLY ONE CHURCH). Following padre Pio who show’s the true beauty of Catholicism which is everyone’s true home! God bless.
That's right. The moon represents Mexico, in Nahuatl the word means "the navel of the moon." Dancing was the way of praying for the ancient Mexica. The stars coincide with the celestial vault of the year of the apparitions. Guadalupe is what the Spanish understood from the name that Juan Diego, who spoke Nahuatl, told them, although apparently it was “coatlaxopeuh” which is pronounced “quatlasupe”, which means “the one who crushes the snake”. Greetings
It is also said that the tilma maintains a constant temperature of the human body at 98.6F degrees. Her eyes, when seen at high magnification contains faces and the scene of when San Juan Diego showed the image to the amazed Spanish bishops. No human hand could have painted such a small image on rough cloth like a tilma. The fact that the tilma has remained intact for nearly 500 years when it’s only supposed last for 20-30 years only adds to the divine mystery. The musical notes that the stars create indeed sound like celestial music. The roses that San Juan Diego was asked to pick up as proof were Castilian roses, which were native to Castile, Spain where Bishop Zumárraga was from and were not native to Mexico nor did any rose grow in that region in December.
Also, when he mentioned her skin tone being mixed with Spanish and Indian Mexican, it’s a message that both cultures will come together in Christ. This was easier to accept in the Spaniard side, and the Mexican side as a symbol, as a sign and accept her.
@@swissstockli3754 it’s not actual paint by the way it’s an image that appeared. They did tests as well to test what kind of paint but they did not find any paint or paint brushes at all. This is what’s incredible again it’s not a paint, no paintbrush, strokes, or residue were not found.
For a second I thought he was speaking with a lot of other people in a seminar or something but then I started, realizing he was in the kitchen and the kitchen table to be exact and then I saw the kids and I said wow L O L but this is the way my husband and I speak to our kids as well so this is really nice to see.so professional and detailed, and the kids so focused and willing to learn. This is really nice to see thank you for sharing.
My family and I immigrated to Canada on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We love her for protecting us and allowing us to escape war torn El Salvador. Thank you for sharing, this is so special ❤ Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us
How can she protect you if she's not God? Where do your cross the line about worshipping idols Wich is against the commandments that God gave us? She can't save you from Hell not even hear you that's why Jesus died so that you can accept him but you out here rejecting Christ
Did Mary remain a virgin? The Bible does not teach that Mary was ever-virgin, or a perpetual virgin. Rather, it shows that Mary had other children.-Matthew 12:46; Mark 6:3; Luke 2:7; John 7:5. Was Jesus’ virgin birth the “Immaculate Conception”? No. According to the New Catholic Encyclopedia, the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception “designates the belief that the Virgin Mary was free from ORIGINAL SIN from the very beginning of her life, i.e., from her conception. The rest of mankind inherits a human nature infected with sin . . . But Mary was, by a unique GRACE, preserved from ever contracting original sin.” By contrast, nowhere does the Bible teach that Mary was free from original sin. (Psalm 51:5; Romans 5:12) In fact, Mary gave evidence that she was sinful when she presented the sin-atoning sacrifice that the Mosaic Law required of mothers. (Leviticus 12:2-8; Luke 2:21-24) The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The Immaculate Conception is not taught explicitly in Scripture . . . [It] is a judgment that the Church has made.” How should we view Mary? Mary set a fine example of faith, obedience, humility, and deep spirituality. She is among the faithful ones whom we do well to imitate.-Hebrews 6:12. Yet, despite her unique role as the mother of Jesus, the Bible does not teach that we should worship Mary or pray to her. Jesus did not single out his mother for special honor, nor did he tell his followers to do so. In fact, outside of the Gospel accounts and a single reference in the book of Acts, Mary is not mentioned in the remaining 22 books of the so-called New Testament.-Acts 1:14. The Scriptures provide no evidence that Mary received special attention-let alone veneration-by first-century Christians. Rather, the Bible teaches Christians to worship only God.-Matthew 4:10. The Bible teaches that Jesus had a number of siblings The only acceptable way to gain access to the “Hearer of prayer” is through Jesus Christ. (Psalm 65:2) Jesus plainly taught: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6, JB) Mary was not invited to share this responsibility and serve as an intermediary. If Mary had been granted this unique privilege, surely Jehovah would have made it known.-Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 2:1, 2. The Rosary and recitation of memorized prayers originated outside of professedly Christian lands. Praying to Mary ignores what Jesus taught, that “no one can come to the Father except through [him].” Thus, the Rosary and Mary are not God’s way to approach Him in prayer. The Rosary does not contribute to such meaningful prayers. Jeannine observed that reciting “Hail Mary's” on the Rosary “became unconsciously repetitious.” Repeating the same words on the Rosary did not bring her closer to God. Said another former Catholic nun, Lydia: “I did not find anything instructive in reciting the Rosary. I would have preferred reading books on religion.” Repetitious prayers serve no useful purpose, since God has promised: “Before they call, I will answer.” (Isaiah 65:24, NAB; Matthew 6:7, 8, 32) Almighty God appreciates and answers petitions that are said with the right motive and that come from an honest and sincere heart. The Rosary does not help a person to approach God with meaningful, heartfelt prayers.-Psalm 119:145; Hebrews 10:22.
@@alexshatner3907the role of the virgin of Guadalupe is that of freedom. Without her the native Mexican would’ve been enslaved since “Christians” were seen as “subjects” of the Queen and were not allowed to be sold into slavery. She is the way to Jesus Christ and to God by the natives. Without The Virgenof Guadalupe, an entire “nation” wouldn’t have converted as fast/quick to Christianity.
@@Warrior_By_birth Israelites adored idols to the point of sacrificing their own children, they carried on a semblance of worshiping Jehovah and reasoned that no calamity would befall them. (Jer 7:4, 8-12; Eze 23:36-39) So empty-headed had the people in general become by reason of their pursuit of idolatry that when calamity did come and Jerusalem was desolated by the Babylonians in 607 B.C.E., in fulfillment of Jehovah’s word, they attributed it to their failure to make sacrificial smoke and drink offerings to the “queen of the heavens.”-Jer 44:15-18; QUEEN OF THE HEAVENS was The Title given to Mary was adopted from the false Gods during the days of Babylon.
What is on her neck is a brooch that was seen as a sign of royalty to the Aztecs. If it was the color jade- that means she would have been a goddess (not jade so she was just of royalty). But since there is a cross on her brooch- that signified that she was of royalty of the Christian God
Matt, you are so thoughtful and generous to share with the world glimpses into your beautiful life. We who watch and receive are richer than kings and queens for it.
This is so precious and rich. Catechism on a piece of cloth, just like the miraculous medal - deep teachings in compact form. Thanks ao much for sharing.
Bless your son May Jesus protect him and bless his heart that's not Mary's Jobs Mary wasnt God she was just a simple human she sinned just like every other human. Mary herself needs Jesus to Go to Heaven but people here are worshipping her and giving her the glory instead of Jesus Christ. Mary can't do anything she's not Jesus
When Christopher mentioned the womb as being heaven on earth, the story of the bleeding woman who touched Jesus’ clothes and was healed took on a much deeper meaning for me. Thank you for posting this. God’s timing is perfect as usual 🙏🏻
This is simply beautiful 💙 It is humbling and almost overwhelming to see what lengths God went to to communicate with the indigenous people of Mexico in order to draw them to Him through His Most Holy Mother.

@@geminiroy763she appeared in Mexico and her imagine converted our people into the gospel, her imagine was used as the first flag of our country and was a symbol of the oppressed and poor indigenous people against the Spaniard reign. She was declared the Empress of Mexico and the Americans. It has a lot to do with Mexicans.
Nice, I know he does a pilgrimage to the Shrine in Mexico City, so lucky you to be able to learn from him.! Today is my birthday so I have a special interest in this feast day and her history in Mexico. Our lady of Guadalupe pray for us!
Wow!! I love this! I love how you taught the children this. Mexicans teach their children this too and we teach them to not only have absolute trust in God but in his mom Our lady of Guadalupe. She’s most holy, pure and so beautiful. 🙏🏻✝️🌹
@WJACOTT You truly can not mean those words, my brother. Do not mistakenly offend Our Lord. His Mother; the Oueen of Battle; battering ram of God; has shown Her Glory to the world. Including you. Sinners as you and I require Her Merciful eyes, to lead us to Her Son; Our Lord.
Awesome! And he didn't even mention the witnesses' sillouetes in her eyes, the fact that the image is literally floating above the cloth (similar to the Shroud of Turin), that the stars in her mantle reflect the precise position the actual stars were that night (Dec 12, 1531) in the sky, the music "score" that can be found in the tilma, the fact that the image isn't made out of any substance known to man (it's not paint, pencil, etc.), and many other discovered facts. Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, ruega por nosotros!
NASA acknowledges that the pigments/colors on the Tilma are from elements NOT from this world. The Tilma maintains a constant human body temperature of 98.6° no matter if it's 20° or 100° degrees.
"They're homeschooled they can handle it" made me chuckle. As someone in a very Catholic highschool, I'll say that I would encourage parents to seriously consider homeschooling for their children. The school system (even in Catholic schools) is being heavily infiltrated by the enemy.
@@marcosgallardo6436 a que universidad quieres ir? Todavía hay algunas pocas buenas. Pero no se como este tu status economico ni si estarías interesado en salir de donde vivas.
I have a unique perspective on this: I was homeschooled and my children are homeschooled, but my husband is an assistant principal at a public school. Seeing the struggles my husband goes through to minister to the kids he works with has been very enlightening. He works with a fairly conservative school district, so in his case, an "agenda" isn't coming from the top down. His struggles have to do, in large part, with parents. There are a lot of parents who have pretty much given up their authority over their children, and the public school is the most consistent moral authority those children have in their lives. It's not merely a "top down" problem, it's also a "grassroots" one. There's a lot of "orphans" in the schools, kids who have been pretty much abandoned. (So for pity's sake, CARE ABOUT YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS). On the other hand, homeschooling has its drawbacks as well. As I mentioned earlier, I was homeschooled growing up for much of my education and attended a small Catholic college (Newman guide approved) with several other homeschool alumni. Several of us ended up in a really bad situation with a manipulative and abusive campus minister (emotional, financial, and sexual abuse...it was a dumpster fire); a situation that I still wonder if we were just too sheltered and naive to see clearly. He said all the right things: preferred Latin prayers, talked about Aquinas, had us do liturgy of the hours. This man recruited homeschooled women especially (to the point we made jokes about it) to his ministry team. I think that it's definitely possible to overly shelter your children to the point that it makes them vulnerable to very bad people once they're on their own. So now I'm between those two worlds, seeing the porn and drug addictions my husband fights at his job on one hand, and living with some pretty serious scars I'm still not sure if homeschooling set me up for on the other. All this to say...there's no magic bullet when it comes to education. You have to look at your family as an individual case and go through the whole thing with a heck of a lot of prayer and discernment. Anything else is folly. Homeschooling is the right choice for us now, but I can't say it will be I'm the future.
@@JP2GiannaT homeschooling has its issues, but I believe they can be solved by the parents. I know I am only a highschooler but I would say that the perfect scenerio for children (in the near future) is for parents to form a mini "home-school" group with other parents, and have them study from the same material (from a Catholic homeschooling program) and a personal Catholic teacher. Lets say 3 families minimum with several children near the same ages so that they can socialize during their school days. After school have them play sports or do other activities where they can socialize and stay fit. Then when they reach high-school send them to a Catholic school and by then they'll be prepared to detect any of the bs that society will want to sell them.
Starts top down. Vatican was infiltrated by the enemy a long ,long time ago. Now the pope is giving the ok for gay unions, gay pastors and trans insanity.
Our blessed mother Mary has appeared in different parts of the world throughout history bringing a holy message. As a Mexican American Catholic, I can tell you that she appeared on the tilma to speak to the native people in the language only they could understand. Thus changing Mexico's history of sacrifice to faith. She's awesome. Jesus is proud of his mom.
I hate to break it to you, that wasn't Mary. Mary is in heaven worshipping Jesus Christ. She doesn't have that type of power. I can tell you who does though....Someone that can appear as an Angel of light.
Blasphemy total blasphemy. The Father and the son are one. There’s no room for her at the altar. Bring her down, for she too must vow before Jesus Christ. Mary gladly vows down to Jesus in heaven and morons here on heart have it the other way around.
I just learned even more about her appearance. Thank you. So much info to communicate with the Aztec people. Obviously, to save them from the atrocities what they were doing .
She appeared around the same time of the protestant reformation which is significant as well. Millions left the Church but even more millions came to the Church on the other side of the world🙏🏼
Ironically, just as the northern European Protestant Reformation was throwing the Feminine out of Christianity, she was coming back on the other side of the planet in a marriage of the southern European and the New World.
@@luncarmy-et8dzwhat grade are you in . How old are you ? Tell your mom you need to get a better education. I am so confused with one sentence. One sentence is all it took. 😂
Do you not know God is of the Living? For He is the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob? And that the prayer of a righteous man avails much? If they people in Heaven are alive, which they are, and that only those redeemed by His Blood are in Heaven, as sanctified and righteous, then certainly Mary, Theotokos (God bearer) is righteous. Her prayer is especially of value for she is the Queen Mother, of the True King Jesus. Like Bathsheeba, the Queen Mother of Solomon, Mary enters the King's Court for the Queen is highly regarded and favored by her Son, the King. And, do you not know the Prayers of the Saints ascend to God, particulary the one True Mediator, Christ. He allows prayers of the saints, the righteous in Heaven to pray for us and he uses those saints as intercessors for His Glory and Will, to mediate matters of His Kingdom. Please dive deep into Scripture and History before commenting. And, if a mistake is made, ask forgiveness and seek to reconcile.

@mattfradd brother how awesome to have Mr West in your home sharing the knowledge given him to your kids. Just seeing your kids soaking it up brought tears to my eyes as I desire also to see my kids sit and learn truth in our home. Deu 6. I love it.
Our family’s favorite is Our Lady of Guadalupe and her Juanito of course. She is so beautiful and the patroness of the unborn :) Bless our mother’s Holy womb whom gave us Jesus!
"When we pervert the life instinct of our sexuality, its becomes a death instinct". Thats a wonderful way to explain great evil in an ordered and loving way
Christopher West is a wonderful man and so is his family! Awesome lesson. I proposed to my wife in the Basilica in DC, in front of Our Lady of Guadalupe chapel. If only I knew this much about it then.
This is a TREASURE of a teaching. Several messages here. This is a wonderful way to encourage others to join in praying the 9 month Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe that was recently requested by Cardinal Burke. The SAVING graces of Our Blessed Virgin are available to us in more ways than we might understand. ❤️
Amazing. I’m Chamorro from Guam. This is what I’ve been missing, what I’ve lacked in my understanding, in my own historical knowledge of the Immaculate Mary art in my own culture.
A Mexican professor discovered sheet music on the tilma, where the notes lineup with the stars and other symbols on the image, and was able to transcribe it.
What he has might be a painting or picture of the real one. What is miraculous here is that what you see is not a painting. Is actually her. It’s life size etc.
I knew some of the symbols, but I did not know there were actual music notes. The most fascinating part is the pregnancy belt, because when she appeared, it would’ve been close to Christmas, just a couple of weeks.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan Even more fascinating is when the Tilma is viewed in the negative picture, above the moon the end of Our Lady's gown looks exactly like a child in the womb on an ultrasound!
Let this explanation of our lady of Guadalupe travel via this platform for those in need of the message. I felt the power of the video and my soul. Thank you for posting it.
Wow I have heard about certain details about this sacred tilma, but this is new to me. Wow, I was already blown away by what I already knew about it, and I’m even more astonished! Glory be to God!
Who is She that comes forth as morning glory; fair as the moon, bright as the sun; terrible as an army in battle array...O' gentile Mary; who conceived without sin. Amen
Vow!!! This is truly enlightening!! Our Lady of Guadalupe continues to fascinate and inspire me with so many insights into this heavenly image of Hers🙏
That was excellent! I have seen so many videos on Our Lady of Guadalupe and I think this is my favorite! He did such a good job and I learned a lot that I have never heard before. So good! Thank you!
We did a first Spanish mass at our Cathedral today, in Marquette, Mi. Our Bishop said entire Mass in Spanish, it was a privilege to serve the Mass once again.
Thank you for sharing! I have heard many of the descriptions of Our Lady of Guadalupe such as the royalness of the color turquoise, the star arrangment on her cloak and many others, but these are ones I had not heard before. Thank you!

@@Spiritof76Catholic these are all lies. If you were just read your Bible, you will know that God does not share his glory with anyone.

People don’t you read the Bible there is so many godly people in the Bible I love all of them, we are human and all who are born our sinners that’s why we need a savior and that is Jesus Christ and yes Mary is a sinner.
