'Virgencita' of Guadalupe. Mother of God and of all creation. You bought the faith to our ancestors on the mount of Tepeyac through the humble Juan Diego. You managed to reconcile two Nations, leading them to the birth of 'mestizo' people. And so the dawn of a new day shone, and with it, the arrival of the reign of your son Jesus, hope for the whole American Continent. 'Virgen morenita', our 'madrecita' , today we implore you.Short song: "Be with Mary along the way, guide every step we take. Lead us to Jesus your loving son, come with us Mary, come."
'Virgencita' of Guadalupe, many among us find ourselves in new lands. Like you, and like Juan Diego and his people, we experience anxiety, due to social, cultural, economical and political discrimination. Today, millions in the world suffer hunger and all kinds of hardships. "Mother of the poor, help us be poor in spirit so as to enrich others. But bring relief to those who suffer from misery in their bodies, and tear out selfishness from hearts, as this impoverishes. Today we implore you.Short song: "Be with Mary along the way, guide every step we take. Lead us to Jesus your loving son, come with us Mary, come."
'Virgencita' of Guadalupe, Evangelizer of the Americas, you transformed Juan Diego into a messenger of the reign of God. Grant us from your son Jesus, that filled with the Holy Spirit, we may have the courage and the strength to participate in the struggle to build up a new civilization of love, which is your reign that in 'birth pangs' is trying to be born in universal 'mestizaje'. Today we implore you.Short song: "Be with Mary along the way, guide every step we take. Lead us to Jesus your loving son, come with us Mary, come."
