Book Description
I lay on the ground counting miracles: no fire, none of us should be breathing. There were pieces of airplane and equipment, and radio parts hanging in the branches.And then, miracle of miracles, voices through the trees. Help, coming so soon? We had flown past the second story windows of a technical college there in the wilderness. Someone had been looking out the window, saw the plane and said to others, "Gather your things. There's a plane out there and it's going to crash." They were on their way before we hit the ground. Of course, they spoke Spanish, but I heard them ask who to contact for us. There are many losses and tests as we walk this road, but the joys and pleasures are many as well and we know at the end of our earthly journey there is unspeakable joy and pleasures evermore.

Mexican Phoenix
Author: D. A. Brading
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521531603
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Juan Diego, to whom the Virgin Mary appeared in 1531 miraculously imprinting her likeness on his cape, was canonised in Mexico in 2002 by Pope John Paul II. In 1999, the revered image of Our Lady of Guadalupe had been proclaimed patron saint of the Americas by the Pope. How did a poor Indian and a sixteenth-century Mexican painting of the Virgin Mary attract such unprecedented honours? Across the centuries the enigmatic power of the image has aroused fervent devotion in Mexico: it served as the banner of the rebellion against Spanish rule and, despite scepticism and anti-clericalism, still remains a potent symbol of the modern nation. This book traces the intellectual origins, the sudden efflorescence and the adamantine resilience of the tradition of Our Lady of Guadalupe and will fascinate anyone concerned with the history of religion and its symbols.

Migration Miracle
Author: Jacqueline Maria Hagan
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674066146
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Since the arrival of the Puritans, various religious groups, including Quakers, Jews, Catholics, and Protestant sects, have migrated to the United States. The role of religion in motivating their migration and shaping their settlement experiences has been well documented. What has not been recorded is the contemporary story of how migrants from Mexico and Central America rely on religionÑtheir clergy, faith, cultural expressions, and everyday religious practicesÑto endure the undocumented journey. At a time when anti-immigrant feeling is rising among the American public and when immigration is often cast in economic or deviant terms, Migration Miracle humanizes the controversy by exploring the harsh realities of the migrantsÕ desperate journeys. Drawing on over 300 interviews with men, women, and children, Jacqueline Hagan focuses on an unexplored dimension of the migration undertakingÑthe role of religion and faith in surviving the journey. Each year hundreds of thousands of migrants risk their lives to cross the border into the United States, yet until now, few scholars have sought migrantsÕ own accounts of their experiences.
