She is missing a lot
I can't see how she can be true to Christ without listening to Him say: "This is your mother."

Padre, one of my store buyers won't buy any image of Mary. She says that
Latin America has a Cult of Mary and that her new Christianity separates her from such fanatacism. I just wanted to represent mothers, their love of their children and Guadalupe whose image I love, just as an artist.
Many years ago, she bought a Mary holding one hand of a hesitant stepping ten month old Jesus, nude and running from her. She had a towel over one arm, having just bathed him. Now, I think that she would 'accidentally' break the piece as sacrilege.
I love researching Catholic things for my artwork, it fascinates this Episcopalian, eternally.
