Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Dear Family of Mary!
The November 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady, the Queen of Peace!!
“Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to follow me. Pray for those who do not pray and do not want peace and joy, which only the Most High can give. May your souls be united in the joy of expectancy and your heart will be filled with peace. You will be convinced, little children, that all will be good and that God will bless all; because the good that you give will return to you, and joy will enfold your heart because you are with God and in God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With ecclesiastical approval)
Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe! This day we remember and give thanks to God for the Apparitions of Our Lady to Juan Diego, a poor man who lived outside of Mexico City in the 1500’s. Our Lady very gently introduced herself to Juan, and asked him to go to the Bishop in Mexico City and ask that a chapel be built on a nearby hill. We know that Juan was shy, but obeyed Our Lady. But it wasn’t until Our Lady filled Juan’s tilma with miraculous roses which he brought to the Bishop, that the miracle happened. As the roses fell from his tilma, Our Lady’s beautiful image appeared miraculously on Juan’s tilma, and the bishop was convinced at once that it truly was a call from the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Millions of people have converted, one at a time, by seeing the beautiful image of Our Lady on Juan’s tilma…even to this day!
Let us give thanks today for that huge miracle that happened in Mexico. And let us now, through our prayer and love for Our Lady, become little tilmas for those around us who need Our Lady so very much. She is with us in this day in Medjugorje, teaching us now to be her little ones – those who carry her to others in our hearts! She says to us even today: Am I not here, I, who am your Mother?
Let us pray:
