Narrative: On 9 December 1531, Our Lady appeared to Juan Diego at Tepeyac, which is near Mexico City today. She sent him to request of Bishop Zumárraga the building of a shrine there, where she promised to pour out her grace upon those who invoked her. The bishop asked Juan Diego to present proof of the apparition. On 12 December, Our Lady sent Juan Diego to gather roses. Despite the cold of winter, he found roses in bloom and gathered them within his cloak, or tilma. Our Lady arranged the roses and sent them with Juan Diego to the bishop as proof. Opening his tilma, the roses fell to the ground and there remained impressed upon the tilma the image of Our Lady, the apparition at Tepeyac.

The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe depicts Mary with native features. Gold stars cover her blue mantle and the black girdle about her waist signifies pregnancy. The moon is beneath her feet and one of the angels supports her.

The image reveals that Christ is to be born again among the peoples of the New World. The message of the image is as relevant to those of the New World today as during the lifetime of Juan Diego.

Prayer Card:
Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe, 
Mystical Rose,
make intercession for the 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

Spanish Prayer Card:
La Oración a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
Santa María de Guadalupe, Mística Rosa, 
intercede por la Iglesia, protege al Soberano 
Pontífice, oye a todos los que te invocan en sus 
necesidades. Así como pudiste aparecer en el 
Tepeyac y decirnos: "Soy la siempre Virgen 
María, Madre del verdadero Dios", alcánzanos 
de tu Divino Hijo la conservación de la Fe. Tu 
eres nuestra dulce esperanza en las amarguras 
de esta vida. Danos un amor ardiente y la 
gracia de la perseverancia final. Amén.
