Calling all Mexicans in Mexico, US and all devotees of "Santa Madre de Guadalupe" anywhere around the world!
On her 458th birthday, I thought it was important to mention "our mother and Queen of the Americas". For those of you that don't know, the Virgin of Guadalupe is an important figure both culturally and religious.
Feel free to share.
As usual I will be in church for the mananitas. Will spend time with family. I love the way we celebrate with mariachi, norteno music, Banda and indigenous danza/dances.
I have prayed with a group of people, some of whom are Catholic and some not. Our teacher uses a prayer that is hundreds of years old, and given to him by his grandmother...an indigenous Mexican (i.e., not Spanish). I know this is very different than what we do here in the US, but there is such an undeniable power associated with prayers to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Many who never experience it find it very hard to believe. That's my little story.
The Virgin of Guadalupe is a really big gift from God. God is showing his love through The Virgin Mary of Guadalupe.
It´s a treasure for all Mexican People.
The Faith and The confidence are important tools for the way of God.
That was so beautiful and inspiring~
I liked especially that *She* is "a doorway to the heart of the Mexican people."
I will pass this on to mi nuera Mexicana..
Thank you for sharing.
