Inside this book is a very powerful prayer to Saint Anthony that will shake your “hearts out.” Saint Anthony of Padua is also a matchmaker. For those of you who are looking for suitable partners, Saint Anthony is the way to go. Actually, this prayer was taught and given to me by my beloved mother who was a devoted Saint Anthony of Padua believer. Mom assured me that this prayer to Saint Anthony will always be heard by the Saint. It was in World War II in a jungle that two young newlyweds were hiding . They can see the marching boots of the Japanese soldiers. These soldiers held bayonets in their hands. Nearby the newlyweds was their friend who was bayoneted. It was at this time when the Japanese soldiers were approaching their exact location that the new husband saw a tall man with a brown Habit or clothing spread it out to hide these two newlyweds. Each time the Japanese soldiers will close in to these newlyweds’ hiding spot, this browned-clothed man with an almost-bald hair, very young and fair-skinned, will stand in front of them and spread his cloak or long robe around these blessed newlyweds to hide the two of them. The Japanese soldiers did not see the two newlyweds and had changed directions and went away. And these newly weds were safe. And the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua disappeared. These newlyweds were my future parents! And my beloved mother was a devotee of Saint Anthony of Padua! As a very young girl, my future mother was always wearing a brown Habit or Clothing just as Saint Anthony of Padua each time she went to church. And it was only my beloved father who saw the vision of Saint Anthony of Padua who saved them from being killed by the Japanese soldiers’ bayonets in that jungle hideaway in 1944. That hideaway jungle was now where our ancestral home was built and where we grew up. All these give me tears each time I recall these very holy and galactic events. And I, myself, have experienced so many miracles from Saint Anthony of Padua. This is precisely why this very precious book was written. My beloved parents have experienced the miraculous intervention of Saint Anthony during World War II when they were newly-married. And up to this day, Saint Anthony always runs to our rescue whenever we are looking for something. After I have said this powerful prayer to Saint Anthony, I have found this manuscript that I have been searching for. I said to Saint Anthony that if I found this very manuscript , that this was Creator Source and Saint Anthony’s sign that I will publish this miraculous book. And I have found this my manuscript that is in your hands right now!

One of the most spectacular and miraculous shows on earth took place in 1531 in a quiet town of Mexico City, Mexico. And my trip to this miraculous site of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico was, in itself, a great miracle! After I prayed to Our Lady’s picture that was given to me by a customer when I was working as a cashier, a great miracle took place. That very minute after I prayed to Our Lady of Guadalupe’s photo, my sister called me to tell me that she was paying for my trip! And that miraculous photo that I prayed to is none other than the cover of my book! After several trip cancellations, one of which involved a scammer impersonating a priest, I was able to go and visit the famous and miraculous site of the mother of God, Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico. I lost three thousand dollars to of that impersonating, scamming priest. After the itinerary was paid and done, that impersonating priest just disappeared. No tour to Mexico took place. I just laughed about the whole thing. My sister and her husband, my brother-in-law, were also scammed. They traveled in January 2018 to Mexico using another travel agency. Meanwhile, I told myself that that was the end of my dream to go to Mexico to visit Our Lady of Guadalupe. This Mexico trip was again cancelled after my sister had paid the whole itinerary due to not having enough people to join the tour. It was moved to November instead of May 2018. It was as if God was directing this trip. It was because this time, I was able to convince my best friend, whom I have not seen for three years, to join me in this pilgrimage tour. And she did! It was another miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe from the prime Creator! “All is well that ends well,” the English poet Shakespeare had said. The rose and the tilma and the mother of God are all unexplainable mysteries. Roses that gathered in wintertime in deep snows, the cactus or aloe vera fibers that made up the tilma or mantle or cloak, and the painting that puzzled and baffled the scientists and experts are the highlights of this book. An ophthalmologist from Japan who stood atop the chair to examine the eyes of the mother of God had fainted and fallen from where he was standing. When asked why, the eye specialist said that the eyes of the Madonna seemed to move and were alive. The portrait that no other scientists or painters could explain and that had baffled many for many centuries had not tarnished even after more than five hundred years. And know that the roses that were gathered during wintertime where no roses had ever thrived and that had been placed on the tilma or cloak made from the cactus or aloe vera plant by the person who saw this heavenly vision had produced a very miraculous and beautiful painting that millions of people visit every day of each year. The author was one of them. The word Mexico itself means “the center of the moon.” Little did anyone foretell that this “center of the moon” country would see a lady from the sky standing on a half-moon in December 9, 1531. This painting from heaven is on display at the main altar of the newly built church in the shape of a cone, just like its famous mountain situated in Mexico. This book is a product of so many miracles you would not want to miss. You will find out in this book how several stems of red roses had produced a heavenly painting no one can explain. You are so blessed to have this precious book, which is as precious as you are and maybe even more, my dear readers. The mother of God has a mission for me and for you, and that is to propagate love to all through her miraculous painting from heaven. In The Rose and the Tilma, Nuestra Signora Maria de Guadalupe invites all of you to her heart, mind, and soul.
The author has been reading and analyzing who Jesus was and is and forever from holy scriptures, other mystics, channelings, and other worldwide web of information. Ms. Juanita de Guzman Gutierrez studied and graduated with bachelor and masters degrees in education. And she pondered her spiritual awakening. After more than thirty-three years of school, teaching in the Philippiness and in New York Citys public and private schools, she entered the monastery to discern a call to the religious life. She stayed in the cloistered and contemplative monastery for three years and three months. Ms. Gutierrez was admitted as a prepostulant, postulant, and then as a novice of the congregation who prayed five times a day. Ms. Gutierrez was assigned sacred jobs, such as officiant or leader of songs, bell ringer, scripture reader, assistant to the dispenser, cleaner, embroiderer, and preparer of fruits and vegetables. She had to come out and leave the monastery for two reasons: First, her beloved mother was taken sick. Second, it was not Gods holy will that Sister Juanita becomes a nun. This book is a personal, spiritual, and scholastic journey of Ms. Gutierrez through life. She had traveled around the world and experienced different cultures and studied miracles that happened in the planet. What struck her mind is how universal the greatest man who ever lived on earth, Jesus the Christ, is. He is internationally known and loved and celebrated as well as vilified and mocked. This book will bear on these analyses. Take this journey with Ms. Gutierrez. It gave her tears rolling down her cheeks when these words were etched in her mind, The greatest Jewish priest that ever lived, Jesus, was killed for his peaceful doctrine.
How do we stop the old and ancient, self-limiting, racial thinking of one another? Just think that we are all extraterrestrials. We came from the galaxies of stars. Even the Indigo children know this truth. It is the time of disclosures. Humanity had been enslaved. It is time to regain our divinity back and our power back. We do not need to be saved and do not need to worship any gods. We are all pieces of a prime creator source. Therefore, we are all gods and goddesses. We have the power, and we will evolve. We are all immortals. If you know that you will be a rock or a Buddhist or a paraplegic and when you come back to reincarnate, you will understand one another. This book will also give you the knowledge of breaking your soul contract. Breaking your soul contract and healing your energy field is a healing modality that came from our fellow Arcturian family. According to the Arcturians, this healing strategy is the most powerful healing modality given to humans at this time. It will be discussed here in this book as well. Why do we keep on hurting one another by calling one another names? Why do we judge a person by the color of their skin? We are one human race. We came from the HU. The HU is the ancient name of God. We came from the outer interstellar space. We did not originate on this earth. Therefore, we HUmans are all extraterrestrials. And our fellow extraterrestrials are coming out in the open soon to introduce themselves. They are already here—actually, ever since our Mama Gaia or Mother Earth existed. Forget the wrong indoctrinations we learned from schools. And what I taught, as a teacher, then, was wrong too. It is because I was not awakened yet then. I began my awakening this October of the year 2017. This book attempts to solve, give solutions, or suggest ideas that will make us realize that all people on this planet earth is of one race. And that is the whole HUman race. From the HU, god race. We are all extraterrestrials! This is disclosure in the first degree. We, HUmans, need to wake up. We are not alone. The ETs or extraterrestrials, as we know it in movies, are real. And they are going to reveal themselves very soon, even maybe before or after this book is published. They all come from other stars in the intergalactic outer space, just as we do. Believe it or not. There is no need to brand someone as the brown race, black race, white race, yellow race, and so on and so forth. HUmans are not limited by their skins’ pigments, nothing to be brushed off. Just keep an open mind. Our prime creator is of 221 energy frequency, and when that huge energy blew up, it took many forms, according to Dolores Cannon. It is time to awaken to the reality that the prime creator of all made us all one. The divine father and divine mother gods had made the human beings’ race to be the same persons. We all have the same lives to live, the same air to breathe, one planet earth to live on, one body to live. We are going to even ascend to the stars where we came from. We better believe this. There is a saying that “a house divided on its own cannot stand.” How true and fitting this is for humanity. If we have to survive as a human specie who are all magnificent, we better change our consciousness or thinking. We, as wonderful human beings, all belong to the great human race. We all are extraterrestrials. This is disclosure written by a Pleiadian from a previous life existence. This book will make you realize how important it is to stop the limiting and discriminating descriptions we have described one another. We all need to learn. Reject what is bad and take what is only good. Leave the limiting and ancient profiling of one another behind, never to come back. Welcome the new consciousness in—our higher selves. We are all powerful extraterrestrials.

This book will guide you step-by-step on how to be really and truly happy in the truest sense of the word. It has inspirations that will strike your mind and will let you say, Oh yeah, that is true. Life is a choice. Choose to be happy. Well, in life, there are stages that we have to undergo. As a baby, we cry when we do not see Mom and Dad. As a teenager, we undergo pimples and crushes. As an adult, we have all kinds of feelings with how to cope in college and how to find a job and how to be on our own. Life is what you make of it. Prince Meghan was quoted as saying, when asked how the love relationship bloomed across the Atlantic, It is a choice. Yes, we choose what and how we will feel. Happiness is the reachable star. If only we can change our consciousness that we are the masters of the universe. We all have the God-Source in all of us. We have the all-seeing eye of the prime creator in our temple or pineal gland. And that when we are afraid or sad, this powerful God-Source third eye closes. So choose to be happy. And you will be very powerful. You can do everything. This book will tell you how. Take it. You will relish it.
"Let’s Cook with Nora provides documentation of Philippine cooking for 1965 when it made its appearance. In its new, 21st-century, classic version—lovingly restyled by her daughter Nina Daza Puyat—Nora Daza’s legacy is ready for today’s cooks, brides to be, and food lovers." -Felice Prudente Sta.

"When Christopher Columbus stumbled upon America in 1492, the Italians had no pasta with tomato sauce, the Chinese had no spicy Szechuan cuisine, and the Aztecs in Mexico were eating tacos filled with live insects instead of beef. In this lively, always surprising history of the world through a gourmet's eyes, Raymond Sokolov explains how all of us -- Europeans, Americans, Africans, and Asians -- came to eat what we eat today. He journeys with the reader to far-flung ports of the former Spanish empire in search of the points where the menus of two hemispheres merged. In the process he shows that our idea of "traditional" cuisine in contrast to today's inventive new dishes ignores the food revolution that has been going on for the last 500 years. Why We Eat What We Eat is an exploration of the astonishing changes in the world's tastes that let us partake in a delightful, and edifying, feast for the mind."--Publisher's description.
