  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi, I got a medal as a small gift from my sister, with a folder. But the folder is in spanish...

Could someone translate this, or at least give me the most important facts?

CONTENIDO DE LA MEDALLA

Todos sus simbolos quieren ser, en conjunto, una sintesis perfecta de las principales prerrogativas de Maria, sugeridas en el Evangelio.
Todos ellos constituyen, en opinion de sus comentadores: "Libro abierto de sus grandezas", "evangelio de Maria", "auténtico tratado de teologia mariana, según lo ha compendiado el Concilio Vaticano II.
En el anverso quiso aparecer aplastando con su pie virginal la serpiente (simbolo del pecado). Por si este lenguaje no fuese ya claro, insistio en que se leyese, en torno a su imagen, la siguiente inscripcion: "Oh Maria sin pecado concebida, ruega por nosotros que recurrimos a Ti".
Complemento de estos signos del anverso está la postura de Maria, como Reina y Madre del Mundo, iluminándolo, protegiéndolo con sus rayos de gracias, fruto de su oracion maternal, ante su Hijo Jesucristo.
El simbolismo del Reverso está formado por una cruz, apoyada en la letra M y debajo de dos corazones de Jesús y de maria, coronado el uno por espinas y atravesado el otro por una espada (profetizada por Simeón), en misión corredentora del mundo.

CONTENT OF THE MEDAL All their symbols want to be, altogether, a perfect sintesis of the main prerogatives of Mary, suggested in the Gospel. All of them constitute, in opinion of their comentators: "Book opened of its greatnesses", "gospel of Mary", "authentic mariane treaty of teology, according to it has summarized Vatican II. In the obverse it wanted to appear squashing with his virginal foot the serpent (symbol of the sin). In case this language was not already sure insistio in that it was ***reflxed mng, around its image, the following inscription: "Oh Mary without conceived sin, requests by us who we resorted to You". Complement of these signs of the obverse is the position of Mary, as Queen and Mother of the World, illuminating it, protecting it with its rays of thanks, fruit of its maternal oration, before its Son Jesus Christ. The symbolism of the Revers is formed by a cross, supported in letter M and underneath two hearts of Jesus and maria, crowned the one by thorns and crossed the other by a sword (prophesied by Simeon), in a coredenmatrix( co-redentor) mission of the world.

" It wasn´t perfect" but clear something
