Her account is at Mi Morenita: What Guadalupe Taught me About Culture - LifeTeen.com for Catholic Youth

“Growing up in a Mexican household means loving Our Lady of Guadalupe is as necessary as knowing to tie your own shoes.”

When Mary appeared to a poor, indigenous man named Juan Diego and gently loved him as a mother does, she captivated an entire race of people previously skeptical of the Gospel.

Her mere presence was a sign of love to the Mexican people.

The black ribbon that hangs from her hand is typical of indigenous women to wear when pregnant.
