Since today, December 9th, is the celebration of St. Juan Diego of Guadalupe, I thought it appropriate to post info on this popular, fully-approved Marian apparition.
Words of the Blessed Virgin spoken to Juan Diego
December 9th and 12th 1531
Guadalupe, Mexico
"Know for certain that I am the perfect and perpetual Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God . . . here I will show and offer all my love, my compassion, my help and protection to the people. I am your merciful Mother, the Mother of all who love me, of those who cry to me, of those who have confidence in me. Here I will hear their weeping and their sorrows . . . their necessities and misfortunes . . . Listen and let it penetrate your heart . . . Do not be troubled or weighed down with grief. Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?"

Here’s a very NEAT article about the images found in Our Lady of Guadalupe’s eyes, with photos:
