Marie de Nazareth
To Jesus, through Mary
As shown in the video below, a miracle occurred on April 24, 2007 at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, after the city legalized abortion. At the end of the mass offered for the unborn children, while many of the faithful took photographs of the tilma or cloak of Tepeyac, the image of the Virgin began to fade away, giving way to a very intense light that emanated of her abdomen like a shiny halo in the shape of an embryo.
Engineer Luis Girault who inspected the image discovered that the light wasn’t produced by any reflection, but literally came out of the image of the Virgin. The light produced is very white, pure and intense, different from usual photographic lights.
Two years earlier, Pope Benedict XVI had composed this prayer for mothers before the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe:
Holy Mary, who under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe are invoked as Mother by the men and women of Mexico and Latin America, encouraged by the love that you inspire in us, we once again place our life in your motherly hands.
May you, who are present in these Vatican Gardens, hold sway in the hearts of all the mothers of the world and in our own heart. With great hope, we turn to you and trust in you.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Pray for us.
