Our Lady of Guadalupe

''Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ '' John 19:26

There are times when only a Mother's presence can solve our problems. By her love, gentleness and compassion, Mary attracted millions of native Indians into the fold of Her Son. Today we remember our Lady, patroness of the Americas, who revealed herself to Juan Diego as the ever Virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God and Creator of all things, whose heart beats with unspeakable tenderness for those who suffered.
