Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Dec. 12:
Mary assured Juan Diego that she
was mother to everyone who called upon her. Through her miraculous image,
showing her as a mestiza, one of the
few people (at the time) of both Aztec and Spanish parentage, she peacefully
united two cultures. This image also confirms her queenship and virginal
motherhood: Our Lady wears the black belt of pregnant Aztec noblewomen, but
wears her hair down in the way of Aztec maidens (virgins).[1]
Holy Mary of Guadalupe, our Mother and Queen, help us to respect and protect
all human life from conception to natural death.
