1. Ophthalmalgic
studies made on theeyes of Mary
detected that when
the eye is exposed
to light, the retinacontracts, and when
the light is
withdrawn, it returnsto a dilated state,
just as happens with
a living eye.

2. The temperature
of Juan Diegostilma, made of a
material that comes
from fibers of themaguey cactus,
maintains a constant
temperature of 98.6
degrees, the sameas that of a living
human body.

4. No sign of paint has beendiscovered on the tilma. From
a distance of3-4 inches fromthe image, one can see onlythe maguey cactus fibers of
the material: the colorsdisappear.
Scientific studies have notbeen able to discover the
origin of the coloration, northe way the image was
painted. They cannot detectvestiges of brush strokes or
any other known paintingtechnique. NASA scientistsconfirm that the paint materialdoes not belong to any known
element on earth.

5.When the materialwas examined under a
laser ray, it was shownthat there is no
coloration on the frontor the back of the cloth,
and that the colors
hover at a distance of3/10th of a millimeter
(1/100th of an inch) overthe cloth, without
touching it.
The colors actually floatabove the surface of
the tilma.
Isnt that amazing?

6.The rough material ofthe tilma has a lifespan of
no more than 20-30 years.Several centuries ago, areplica of the image waspainted on an identical
piece of maguey cloth, and
it disintegrated afterseveral decades.
Nonetheless, during thealmost 500 years of the
miracle, the cloth with the
image of Mary remains asstrong as it was on the first
day. Science cannotexplain why the material
has not disintegrated.

At her shoulder, a fragment of thestars of the Herdsmanconstellation; below it and to theleft is the Great Bear. To its rightis Berenices Hair; below it,Hunting Dogs, and to its left, the
Thuban, which is the brighteststar of the Draco constellation.
Below the two parallel stars(which still form part of the BigBear), one finds stars fromanother pair of constellations: theAuriga and at the bottom, threestars of Taurus.
Thus, in their totality and properplaces, the 46 most brilliant starsthat can be seen on the horizonof the Valley of Mexico areidentified.

11. In the eyes of Mary (only about 1/3rd inch in size), miniscule humanfigures were discovered that no artist could have painted. The same
scene is repeated in each eye.
Using digital technology, the images in the eyes were enlarged manytimes, revealing that each eye reflected the figure of the Indian Juan
Diego opening his tilma in front ofBishop Zumarraga.
Do you know the size of this scene?
One fourth of a millimeter (1/100th of an inch).

1. In the Indian language, "Guadalupe" means
to crush the head of the serpent.It properly refers to Genesis 3:15: Mary, the
conqueror of evil.

God wanted Jesus to be born in the threeAmericas, in the heart of each American.
While I live I will praise the Lord: I will sing praiseunto my God while I have any being
