Thank you, Bob. I always love feast days that honor Mary. She is such a wonderful example and intercessor for us!

That was beautiful, Bob. It is clear a devotion to Mary has never brought us astray.

Thanks Bob, a really great entry!! I’m not Mexican, but our Lady of Guadalupe is my personal favorite Madonna; and it makes me feel wonderful that she appeared to such a poor man, who then had trouble convincing the Church fathers. That episode–showing the ‘stiff necked’ Church fathers reaches down to us from the last days of our Lord, and how he was denied and put to death as well. He went to his death loving humanity and forgiving even those who had tortured and murdered him–such an example for us to follow. Our Church fathers of today could learn a good lesson in humility and faith from Juan Diego; would that some would even try and listen a bit more to the ‘people’ who make up the Church. Perhaps not in our time though.

Thanks, Bob, very interesting. We in the UK are not really familiar with Our Lady of Guadeloupe, so it was good to understand how important and fruitful was her visitation.
