Third Prayer Flag

Third Prayer Flag for the Murdered, Missing, and Exploited Women and Children of Juarez and the World. This prayer flag is like the first one that went to Juarez. In the background is the creation prayer flag (see photo below). All stitches are done with prayers. All three prayer flags have been blessed by a Catholic priest with prayers and holy water.

Prayer Flag for Abused, Murdered, Missing Women Throughout the World

This is about the second prayer flag with the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary on it, for the women and children exploited, abused, and missing throughout the world. Similar to Tibetan and Native American tradition in the sense that every stitch on this flag is made with prayers and meditation, it's not to be bought or sold on exhibition to raise funds of any kind. On February 17, 2008, a vision came to me of a prayer flag for the murdered, missing, and exploited women in towns along the US-Mexican border. The flag is made up of pink crosses which form the image of the Virgin Mary. The pink cross for the last few years has been used to represent these women. This flag was delivered to a Mexican minister and his wife in El Paso who knew women's organizations well and promised to deliver it to them discreetly. This new flag is similar in every aspect, with its encompassing the women and children of the world who exist under conditions of extreme poverty, exploitation, missing and murdered. I am doing this flag for the Blessed Mother because she has requested this. These women and children are of great concern to her. She is requesting that this be given the greatest importance because it affects the entire peace of the world and the core of humanity. Addressing and solving this huge problem is of key importance to achieving peace in the world. She says we cannot have success in solving other world problems without addressing this one.
