“Listen and let it penetrate your heart… Do not be troubled or weighed down with grief.” Our Lady of Guadalupe

During a time of great despair, Our Lady of Guadalupe urged Juan Diego to remain steadfast and not let grief consume him. This powerful message reminds us to trust in God’s plan and to keep our hearts open to His love and guidance. Even in the midst of challenges, we can find peace and comfort in Our Lady’s words.

“Am I not your mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection?”

These words, spoken by Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego, serve as a comforting reminder that she is always there for us, watching over us and offering her maternal love and protection. In times of struggle, we can turn to her for solace and find strength knowing that she is our ever-present mother.

Prayer

Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Mystical Rose,
make intercession for holy Church,
protect the sovereign Pontiff,
help all those who invoke you in their necessities,
and since you are the ever Virgin Mary
and Mother of the true God,
obtain for us from your most holy Son
the grace of keeping our faith,
of sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life
of burning charity, and the precious gift
of final perseverance. Amen
