OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE HISTORY

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 almost 500 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.

Pope Francis visited the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, Mexico, on February 13, 2016 and venerated the miraculous image imprinted on the tilma of St. Juan Diego.

MORNING PRAYER

OH GOD, for one more day, for one more sunrise, for one more hour, for one more minute, for one more opportunity to live and serve you, I am eternally grateful to you.

Make it so that on this day I am freed of all:
Fear of the future,
Anxieties about tomorrow
Bitterness towards other people,
Cowardliness in facing danger,
Laziness at work,
Failure in my activities, and
Weakness, when I count on you.

Fill me with:
Love that knows no barriers,
Sympathy that reaches everyone,
Bravery that cannot be surpassed,
Faith for my darkness,
Strength for my tasks,
Loyalty towards the goals of your Kingdom,
Wisdom to face the problems of life, and
Energy to lift myself up to You. Stay with me one more day and use me as you wish Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
