Various testimonies say that she resembled the Virgin and some, in an excess of admiration, made the mistake of affirming that she was the Virgin,\u201d Fern\u00c3\u00a1ndez said.<\/p>\n<p>The cardinal therefore declared that \u201cidentifying Elenita de Jes\u00c3\u00bas with Our Lord Jesus Christ, the only redeemer, or with the Virgin Mary, the first cooperator in the work of her Son, must be completely avoided.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the face of any attempt to attribute to Elenita de Jes\u00c3\u00bas the identity of the Lord, or of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the judgment cannot be other than \u2018constat de non supernaturalitate\u2019 (clearly not supernatural). Elenita de Jes\u00c3\u00bas is not the Virgin Mary,\u201d the prelate confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>However, he pointed out that \u201cit cannot be denied that the figure of Elenita de Jes\u00c3\u00bas has great value for the Church in Puerto Rico and must be considered to foster total dedication to the kingdom of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be a joy for her if those who love her would use the figure of her person as a motivation to dedicate themselves solely to God and avoid directing toward her the gestures of veneration that belong to the mother of Jesus Christ. It is better not to damage this treasure by distorting its original meaning,\u201d Fern\u00c3\u00a1ndez continued.<\/p>\n<p>Fern\u00c3\u00a1ndez expressed his hope that the Holy Mountain Shrine \u201cwill always be a place where Jesus Christ, the only Lord and Redeemer, is adored, as Elenita de Jes\u00c3\u00bas, humble and poor among the poor, would surely have wished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u042d\u0442\u0430 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c\u044f <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciprensa.com\/noticias\/105653\/vaticano-confirma-que-elenita-de-jesus-de-puerto-rico-no-es-la-virgen-maria\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><em>\u0431\u044b\u043b\u0430 \u0432\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0432\u044b\u0435 \u043e\u043f\u0443\u0431\u043b\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0430<\/em><\/a><em> \u043e\u0442 ACI Prensa, \u0438\u0441\u043f\u0430\u043d\u043e\u044f\u0437\u044b\u0447\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043f\u0430\u0440\u0442\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0430 CNA. \u041f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0432\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043d\u043e \u0438 \u0430\u0434\u0430\u043f\u0442\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043e CNA.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/258529\/vatican-confirms-19th-century-puerto-rican-catechist-was-not-the-virgin-mary\">\u0421\u0441\u044b\u043b\u043a\u0430 \u043d\u0430 \u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u0438\u043a <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Holy Mountain Shrine in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico. \/ Credit: Myriampr, CC BY-SA 4.0 &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0&#038;gt\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0&#038;gt<\/a>;, via Wikimedia Commons ACI Prensa Staff, Aug 5, 2024 \/ 16:13 pm (CNA).
