OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a poor Indian at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of Mexico City; she identified herself as the Mother of the True God, instructed him to have the bishop build a temple on the site and left an image of herself imprinted miraculously on his tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 469 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin.

It apparently even reflects in her eyes what was in front of her in 1531!

Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind, as well as the story of the apparitions, are described in the "Nican Mopohua", a 16th century document written in the native Nahuatl language.

There is reason to believe that at Tepeyac Mary came in her glorified body, and her actual physical hands rearranged the roses in Juan Diego’s tilma, which makes this apparition very special.

An incredible list of miracles, cures and interventions are attributed to Her. Yearly, an estimated 10 million visit her Basilica, making her Mexico City home the most popular Marian shrine in the world, and the most visited Catholic church in the world next to the Vatican.

Altogether 24 popes have officially honored Our Lady of Guadalupe. His Holiness John Paul II visited her Sanctuary four times: on his first apostolic trip outside Rome as Pope in 1979, and again in 1990, 1999 and 2002.

The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th. In 1999, Pope John Paul II, in his homily from the Solemn Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, during his third visit to the sanctuary, declared the date of December the 12th as a Liturgical Holy Day for the whole continent.

During the same visit Pope John Paul II entrusted the cause of life to her loving protection, and placed under her motherly care the innocent lives of children, especially those who are in danger of not being born.

VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE - LA GUADALUPANA

La historia del culto de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en el santuario del Tepeyac, situado al norte de la ciudad de México, es como un delicado drama de fe y de amor cuyos principales protagonistas son María, "la madre del verdadero Dios, por quien se vive", como Ella quiso presentarse así misma, y el pueblo de México, representado por un sencillo indio -Juan Diego- y más adelante por la población fiel de México, encabezada por sus Arzobispos hasta el día de hoy.

En 1531, un buen hombre de clase "macehual" o clase humilde, iba de camino, atravesando el cerro del Tepeyac, hacia la parroquia de Santiago Tlatelolco, en donde los franciscanos se encargaban diariamente de atender a los naturales. Juan Diego, que tal era el nombre del macehual, era originario, según se dice, de Cuauhtitlan, pero tenía entonces su domicilio en Tulpetlac. La Historia de la Virgen de Guadalupe está íntimamente ligada a la Historia de México. El año de las apariciones y el inicio de su culto es, en el tiempo histórico, el del surgimiento de México como nación. El culto a la Virgen Morena - La Guadalupana, localizado en un principio en el valle de México, más tarde se extendió por todo el vasto territorio de la Nueva España y aún más allá, y por todas partes dejó muy vivas manifestaciones de su presencia. De una devoción, en sus inicios, de los mestizos y los criollos, y pronto se universalizó. Todo ello testimoniado por las muchas reproducciones de su imagen, por los templos y altares que se le levantaron, por las obras devotas, teológicas, históricas y literarias que a la Virgen del Tepeyac se dedicaron. Muy abundantes son los datos que en torno a nuestra Virgen de Guadalupe existen.
