We've arrived, at last, at the end of our journey--an occasion to reflect and to and prepare ourselves to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Drawing from his own devotions and experiences, Fr. Pio helps us reflect on the great maternal care Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The story of Our Lady of Guadalupe is nearly 500 years old, but she continues to guide culture; she is always calling us back toward her Son.
We call Our Lady of Guadalupe “Queen of the Americas,” and rightly so. But it is a mistake to think that the impact of this story stops there.
Nearly five hundred years ago, Our Lady of Guadalupe’s intercession helped to unite the traditions of the Old and New Worlds. Today, she is still uniting cultures, nations, and the Church.
“Where am I? Could this be the place that our ancestors spoke of ― the Flower World Paradise in the land of heaven?”
Today, we examine the history and anthropology of the Nahua peoples, to whom Our Lady appeared nearly 500 years ago, and in whose language she chose to speak.
We examine the "prehistory" of Our Lady of Guadalupe: the millennia of Mesoamerican history and culture in which Our Lady appeared, and the traditions her apparitions helped to sanctify.
If we are to try to wrap our imaginations around the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we must first seek to understand the fusion of cultures in which she appeared.
As we prepare to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we'll explore the historical, anthropological, cultural, and spiritual beauty of this miraculous apparition.
Drawing from the monastic tradition, the writings of the saints, and contemporary psychology, Fr. John Henry guides us through dealing with the thoughts, memories, and emotions that can cloud our efforts in prayer.
