        Genesis
        3:15   The
        Lord God said to the serpent: “I
        will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her
        seed: she shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for her
        heel.” 
       
        
      OUR
      LADY IN 1531 AD 
        
      On
      December 9, 1531 A.D., God sent Our Lady to the earth to begin to vanquish
      the serpent (Satan), first in the area of the former Aztec Empire. Three
      days later (December 12), Our Lady made her own Image with flowers and the
      tilma of Juan Diego and left this miraculous Image in the Bishop’s
      office. Since then, her Image was respected and loved by the people in
      that area as they saw this Image and understood it to be the Mother of the
      true God. The people had been worshipping the idols and performing human
      sacrifices since many years earlier, but now they ended the old customs
      and, instead, converted to the Catholic Church.  In 10 years, about
      10 million people received baptism. Thus, Our Lady won a great success
      against the Serpent. This, however, was a success in a relative small area
      and the head of the Satan was not crushed yet.  Now, the worldwide
      mission is before Our Lady. The children (adult men and women also are
      often called children before Our Lord and Our Lady) in the world are
      countlessly many and the difficulties are enormous. Even so, Our Lady will
      surely win over Satan. How fast may depend on our help. 
        
      OUR
      LADY IN THE 21st CENTURY 
        
      1. Excerpts
      from Our Lady’s messages 
        
      
        *I
        must be free to move about among my children so they may see me, their
        Mother. 
          
        *I
        will melt your hearts with my motherly heart filled with love for you. 
          
        *Through
        the miracle of my image, I want to come among you and convert millions
        of your hearts to my Divine Son Jesus. 
          
        *As
        Queen and Mother of all the Americas, my concern for my poor wounded
        children grows greater in my Immaculate Heart every day. I want to reach
        them through my image. 
       
        
        
      2. To
      melt the children’s hearts, Our Lady needs to see children, but
      there are countless of them and she can meet only a few of them. The few
      children could go to the Basilica in Mexico to see the Image of Our Lady,
      but it is not an easy way for most persons in the world. 
        
      Our
      Lady had a way to solve this problem. It was August 15, 1991, Feast of the
      Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was in the chapel of inside of
      Grotto (The National
      Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother) a person took a photograph of Our
      Lady of Guadalupe. He only wanted to have a photo of Our Lady in his house
      and nothing more. Later, however, unexpected small
      images were found in his photo. They were: the
      Holy Spirit, the Holy Eucharist, Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, Light, Our
      Lady’ veil vanished (because she is the Queen), and unborn babies.   
        
      
      Our Lady’s new Image is actually the continuation of the original in the
      Basilica. One difference is that the original Image is only one in the
      world, but the new Image can be made more numerous with no differences
      from the first new Image. Now, Our Lady can always meet and protect
      millions of children and the children can always be with Our Lady, their
      Mother and Queen. This will be the best success and victory for Our Lady
      and the children as God has willed.
