Virgin of Guadalupe does not tolerate “ideologies” and does not “make money”: Pope Francis

He Papa Francisco celebrated today in the basilica St. Peter feast day mass Virgin of Guadalupe, patron Mexico And America, and assured that the message ‘Guadalupan’ He does not tolerate “ideologies” and does not “make money.”

In addition, he recalled that the message of the Virgin of Guadalupe is “an image, a tilma and roses, so simple, without glitter” and that “this message protects us from many social and political ideologies with which we so often This reality of Guadalupe is used to justify, justify and Earn money”.

“Guadalupe’s message does not tolerate ideology”, stated the pontiff.

In doing so, he once again referred to the ideological appropriation of the cult of the Virgin of Guadalupe, as he did last year on the same occasion, when he expressed concern about “proposals of ideological and cultural shades of various kinds, which want to arrange a meeting of people with their Mother, who want separate to form the Mother.”

On the other hand, the Pope recalled that, according to Catholic tradition, in the apparitions the Virgin Mary asks Juan Diego a small job of collecting flowers, and for him it is that “the very process of collecting them reveals to us that God He wants us to welcome this gift, to fill our weak reality with good works, growing in virtue and eliminating hatred and fears.”

According to Francis, in the message to Guadalupe, “the words of the Virgin Mary: “Am I not here, who is your mother?” take on a new meaning: “This being of the Virgin must remain forever imprinted on this poor garment, perfumed with virtues collected in a world that seems incapable of creating them.”

“The virtues that fill our poverty in the simplicity of small gestures of love that illuminate our tilma, without even realizing it, with the image of the Church leading to Christ in his womb,” he added.

The Pope noted that Our Lady “asked Juan Diego and asks each of us, in our responsibility to build Church, to collect virtues that should be fragrant with our poverty and serve as evidence that God has impressed His image on our hearts.”
