As most of you probably know, coming up on the liturgical calendar is a beautiful feast which commemorates one of the most well-known apparitions of Our Blessed Mother, sent by God from heaven in Guadalupe, Mexico. As many narratives have been circulating, I would like to focus on what is best known about Juan Diego, whose memorial we celebrate today, and which ushers in the great feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We base this account on the Nican Mopohua, the Roman liturgical texts, and the canonical declarations of Saint John Paul II.
