Our Lady of Guadalupe’s words to Juan Diego are a comfort for us all:
"…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 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 my protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the fold of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?"
I recommend you pray a rosary to her even while in the plane. Now I offer you a Memorare:
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions for mgould, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. God bless and keep you safe!
