JESUS
Padre mio, tu que me aclaras todo
tu que me iluminas los caminos
para que yo alcanze mi ideal
Tu que en todos los instantes estas conmigo
Hoy quiero en este corto dialogo
agradecerte por todo
y confirmarte una vez mas
que nunca quiero separarme de ti
por mayor que sea, la ilusion material
Quiero estar para siempre
en tu gloria perpetua
gracias por tu misericordia para conmigo
y los mios
Amen

SANTA BERNARDITA
Santa Bernadette ..-además de santa es bella...
Si ha tenido la curiosidad de leer sobre el misterio de los cuerpos de los santos que permanecen incorruptos, quizás el caso mas impresionante es el de Bernadette Soubirous (Santa Bernardita) quien fue una humilde muchacha a quien se le apareció la Virgen de Lourdes en 1858 cuando ella tenia 14 años.
Bernardita murió a los 35 anos y su cuerpo fue desenterrado tres veces en el lapso de 46 años debido al proceso de canonización con la inesperada sorpresa que siempre estaba intacta a pesar de que su rosario ya estaba oxidado y el hábito húmedo. Para sorpresa de los médicos que la desenterraron la primera vez, todo en ella estaba intacto (y sigue así) empezando por el hígado que según parece es lo primero que se daña, así como los dientes y las uñas.
El caso es que la Iglesia decidió ponerla en una urna de cristal en Lourdes para la veneración de todos los que allí acuden.

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
The Mystery in Our Lady's eyes
"Bearded man" image in the right eye. According to many scientists who have inspected the image, it seems that in her eyes, in both of them and in the precise location as reflected by a live human eye, could be seen many figures that have been extensively analyzed and seem to correspond to the shape and size of human figures located in front of the image.
In 1929, Alfonso Marcue, who was the official photographer of the old Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City, found what seemed to him to be a clear image of a bearded man reflected in the right eye of the Virgin. Initially he did not believe what was before his eyes. How could it be? A bearded man inside of the eyes of the Virgin?. After many inspections of many of his black and white photographs he had no doubts and decided to inform the authorities of the Basilica. He was told that time to keep complete silence about the discovery, which he did.More than 20 years later, on May 29, 1951, Jose Carlos Salinas Chavez, examining a good photograph of the face, rediscovers the image of what clearly appears to be a bearded man reflected in the right eye of the Virgin, and locates it on the left eye too.
"Bearded man".Since then, many people had the opportunity to inspect closely the eyes of the Virgin on the tilma, including more than 20 physicians, ophthalmologists. The first one, on March 27, 1956, was Dr. Javier Torroella Bueno, MDS, a prestigious ophthalmologist. In what is the first report on the eyes of the image issued by a physician, he certifies what seems to be the presence of the triple reflection (Samson-Purkinje effect) characteristic of all live human eyes and states that the resulting images are located exactly where they are supossed to be according to such effect, and also that the distortion of the images agree with the curvature of the cornea.The same year another ophthalmologist, Dr. Rafael Torrija Lavoignet, examined the eyes of the image with an ophthalmoscope in great detail. He observed the apparent human figure in the corneas of both eyes, with the location and distortion of a normal human eye and specially noted a unique appearance of the eyes: they look strangely "alive" when examined.Many other examinations by ophthalmologists have been done of the eyes of the image on the tilma after these first ones. With more or less details all agree with the conclusions of the ones mentioned above.
According to Dr. Tonsmann, from left to right we can see "the Indian", "bishop Zumarraga", the "translator", "Juan Diego showing the tilma" and below "the family".A new and interesting kind of analysis of the eyes started in 1979, when Dr. Jose Aste Tonsmann, Ph D, graduated from Cornell University, while working in IBM scanned at very high resolutions a very good photograph, taken from the original, of the face on the tilma. After filtering and processing the digitized images of the eyes to eliminate "noise" and enhance them, he reports he made some astonishing discoveries: not only the "human bust" was clearly present in both eyes, but another human figures were seen as reflected in the eyes too. Dr. Aste Tonsmann published his last studies on the eyes on the tilma in the book "El Secreto de sus Ojos", with complete details and photographs of his work . Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the studies is his conclusion that Our Lady of Guadalupe not only left us her miraculous image as proof of her apparition but some important messages too. These messages were hidden in the eyes on the image until our times, when new technologies would allow them to be discovered, when they are most necessary. That would be the case with the image of a family in the center of the Virgin's eye, in times when families are under serious attack in our modern world. The image of various human figures that seem to constitute a family, including various children and a baby carried in the woman's back as used in the 16th century, appears in the center of the pupil, as shown in this great image of the right eye highlighting the family, generously provided by Dr. Tonsmann.
