ARGENTINA, Ely de Aramayo. Since September 5th, the General José Maria Paz Military Institute in the province of Córdoba, Republic of Argentina, has its Queen. With the delicacy of a Mother, but at the same time with the strength of a Queen, within two years, she first conquered the hearts of the students, then those of the faculty and finally of the military board of directors. Moreover since that date, a (1m. x 1.40 m. or 1yd. 3.37 in. x 1.50 yd.) picture of Our Lady of Schoenstatt presides at this very beloved Argentinean Institute.

Colonel Zanela, General Director, Lieutenant Colonel Curellic, Assistant-director, Lieutenant Colonel Cattáneo, Leader of the Cadet Corp, other high officials and along with the entire student body they gathered in the Courtyard of Honor attended this important ceremony.

She chooses apt instruments

From the simplicity of spirit and in the silence of a hopeful prayer, a fervent desire grew in the hearts of a missionary and several collaborators; some through prayer and others adding dollar by dollar: so the Blessed Mother, as they affectionately call the Virgin Mary, would be established in the "El Liceo". The name of this school of personalities and truly the pride of Córdoba and of the entire Republic of Argentina is General José Maria Paz Military Institute; the name is shortened to two profound and beloved words, El Liceo, and it preserves a rich history of glory, which is nourished day by day. The school is co-ed, so it has both male and female cadets. One of its students received the Pilgrim MTA at the first commissioning of this year, and as she held Her in her hands with great certainty, she promised that she would not rest until she saw Her at her Liceo forever. THE GREAT MISSIONARY took this profound proof of love of the missionary cadet, and she began to level the roads to fulfill her dream…

The Flag of Argentina greets Her with the greatest honor

The ceremony began promptly at 5:00 p.m. when the eight cadets that carried the Picture of the Virgin entered the Courtyard of Honor accompanied by the diverse military marches that filled the atmosphere with great solemnity.

Once the picture was placed in front of the stage, they paraded before Her. The secondary cadets followed the highest military leaders of the Institute as they sang the stanzas of the Hymn of the Liceo, Truth, Justice, and equality, the values that were ingrained by the greatest predecessors of Argentina. San Martin, Belgrano, and Sarmineto among others are mentioned in the stanzas of the Hymn, and as they passed the flags were lowered before the Mother and Queen, as a sign of the utmost reverence; this is the greatest sign of respect offered with a national emblem. The flag of Argentina was bowed before the Queen.

Father Mario Manguiaterra, Chaplain of the Institute, presided at the Mass and was in charge of the outstanding choir, the traditional and highly qualified choir of the Military Institute. However on this occasion, the Sisters of Mary, Sister Maria Sol and Sister Sofia also accompanied them. Federico Piedrabuena, Advisor of the Campaign who will become a deacon in a few months, gave the homily. He shared the joy he felt in his heart with those who were present, and he invited them to imagine "the overflowing joy in the heart of our beloved Virgin Mary in heaven."

The picture was enthroned and new missionaries were consecrated

Toward the end of the ceremony and yards away from the picture of Saint Louis Gonzaga, patron of the Institute, Father Mario Manguiaterra invited those present to move to the door of the Chapel, where the enthronement ceremony of the important picture of Our Lady of Schoenstatt began; he invited everyone present to "rejoice in the maternal love that the Mother of God radiated without measure."

After the Blessing, twenty-eight new missionaries were consecrated, twenty-six of them included male as well as female cadets, Lieutenant Colonel Cattáneo and Father Mario Manguiaterra completed the list. It was truly a stream of grace, and it is already being felt from the José Maria Paz Military Institute!

In Spanish, Cielo (Heaven) and Liceo (Institute) use the same letters. The Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven, is the Queen of Liceo as of September 5th!
