Feast Day: December 12Patron of: The Americas and The UnbornOur Neustra Señora de Guadalupe Prayer Pillowcase will help your family remember to pray for Mary’s intercession to help convert the world through love, beginning with your own little corners of the world. It also reminds us that the Blessed Virgin's maternal words of encouragement to Juan Diego were meant for us too. Our Heavenly Mother is always praying for our welfare!A shower of roses is the backdrop for the colorful illustration on our Neustra Señora de Guadalupe Prayer Pillowcase. You can almost smell the roses Juan Diego gathered in his mantle that December day in 1531. Roses in winter? Yes! For they, along with the imprint of her stunning image upon Juan’s tilma, were the miracles Neustra Señora de Guadalupe gave to her faithful servant as proof that she had visited him and requested a chapel built in her name. It was a time of violence and struggle in Mexico, and before Mary left him she lovingly reassured Juan with these words "Escucha y ten la seguridad…de que te protegeré. No temas ni te aflijas, no dejes abatir tu corazón... ¿No estoy yo aquí, que soy tu madre? ¿Y no es mi asistencia tu refugio?" Such comforting words for our troubled hearts! Finally, the chapel was built on the hill just as Mary had asked. The appearance of Neustra Señora de Guadalupe generated the conversion of Mexico, Central and South America. That is why we call her the “Mother of the Americas.” Read More Read Less
