rock with an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe
[CBS13]
A local man says he found a rock with an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and has turned down an offer to sell it for tens of thousands of dollars. Meet Jaime Garcia, a man who says he was addicted to alcohol and smoking for the last 20 years.
“I lost my house and I started drinking more and more,” he said. “I almost lost my family, too.”
One day, Garcia stumbled on a stone while working at a construction site in Patterson, a find that he says changed his life.
Diego, an indigenous Mexican who lived in the 1500’s, is believed by many to have the Virgin Mary appear before him, leaving a now-famous image on his woven cloak.
Garcia says the minute he found the rock, he immediately quit drinking and smoking, and now the bond between his wife and kids is stronger than ever.

[From me]
Wow! The “rock” made him quit drinking and smoking! I don’t believe in a “rock” I worship “THE ROCK” Jesus. We shouldn’t be worshipping Mary anyway.
What do you think?

Yep. It is amazing how little was written in the Bible about Mary and yet how much Catholic dogma revolves around her. She was a great woman and there are important life lessons from her, to be sure, but she is not to be worshiped and she can’t save you.
