Juan-Diego-Itinerary Call Today www.acloserlooktours.com 1-877-938-0951 Juan Diego & Our Lady Of Guadalupe - All Inclusive 5 Days, 4 Nights Inspired by the miracles of legends, millions of people visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe each year. The history of the site is as mysterious as it is fascinating. Baptized by one of the first Franciscan missionaries in Mexico, Juan Diego remains a prominent spiritual figure in Mexico to this day. According to legend, the Virgin Mary made a series of appearances to Juan Diego in December of 1531. The first apparition came on Tepeyac Hill as Juan Diego traveled to mass. Based on this encounter, Juan Diego requested that a shrine be erected there, where the Blessed Mother had promised to shed graces upon those who invoked her. The bishop hesitated to believe Juan Diego’s claims and wished for a sign as proof. Days later Juan Diego returned to Tepeyac, where the Blessed Virgin appeared to him again, this time instructing him to climb the hill and gather the flowers he would find at the top. Though it was the dead of winter, Juan Diego indeed discovered roses in bloom atop the hill. He brought them back to her, and she arranged them in his mantle and sent him to the bishop. Upon his arrival, Juan Diego opened his cloak to present the flowers and they tumbled to the floor. In their place, an image of the Virgin remained impressed upon the mantle – an image of the apparition at Tepeyac. A shrine was built near the hill at Tepeyac to honor the Lady of Guadalupe, as she wished to be known. It remains among the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites to this day.

  • Our Lady of Guadalupe, by Timothy Schmalz
    Our Lady of Guada lupe Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. ~ Revelation 12:17 ECEMBER 12 is the feast of Our Lady of Gua- “Am I not here, I, who am your dalupe, the Mother of the Americas. The Vir- D gin of Guadalupe has been loved and hon- mother? Are you not under my ored for over four hundred fifty years by shadow and protection? Do you countless people throughout the world, particularly by the Mexican faithful. The miraculous events of need anything more?” 1531 culminated in the conversion of an entire cul- ture that had been enslaved to idolatry and massive human sacrifice. Before the coming of the Spanish conquistador Cortéz, the Aztecs were under the dominion of Mon- tezuma, a harsh tyrant and deeply superstitious king. In addition to exacting enormous taxes from those living in the outlying tribes of his empire, like his predecessors Montezuma demanded a bloody tribute of human victims to be sacrificed to the gods on the steps of the great stone temples. As many as twenty thousand victims would be brutally sacrificed when a new temple was erected. With the Spanish conquistadors came Spanish missionaries who intended to bring the saving Gos- pel to the Aztecs. But the roots of the pagan Az- tec culture were deep and their task of evangelizing them was difficult. The cruelty and rapacity of some Spaniards, those interested solely in gold and slaves, was not much improvement on the misery inflicted by the Aztecs.

  • Mitos Y Realidades Sobre El Origen Del Culto a La Virgen De Guadalupe
    148 Mitos y realidades sobre el origen del culto a la Virgen de Guadalupe Gisela von Wobeser 1 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Artículo de reflexión derivado de investigación Recibido: abril 19 de 2013- Aprobado: mayo 31 de 2013 Resumen El culto a la virgen de Guadalupe tiene su origen remoto en un santuario prehispánico situado en el cerro del Tepeyac, al norte de la ciudad de México, dedicado a la diosa Tonantzin. Hacia 1525, el santuario fue convertido por los frailes evangelizadores en una ermita católica, dedicada a la virgen María. Para dar culto a ésta última, los frailes colocaron en ella una pintura de la Virgen como Inmaculada Concepción, realizada por un indio de nombre Marcos, y a la que pronto se atribuyeron poderes milagrosos. Durante las primeras décadas la ermita fue visitada principalmente por indígenas, pero a mediados del siglo XVII, el culto a la virgen del Tepeyac se extendió a todos los grupos sociales. Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, surgió entre indígenas educados a la usanza española una leyenda que daba cuenta del origen de la ermita y de la milagrosa imagen. La leyenda conjuga las dos tradiciones que confluyen en la cultura mexicana: la española y la indígena. Así, a la vez que se inscribe en el marianismo hispánico, fincado en el poder de las imágenes, y sigue un desarrollo narrativo parecido a las leyendas marianas españolas, contiene numerosos elementos de raigambre indígena que lo sitúan dentro de la tradición de los pueblos prehispánicos. Palabras clave: Virgen María, apariciones, culto mariano, leyendas fundacionales, imágenes marianas, vírgenes milagrosas, virgen de Guadalupe, evangelización 1 Doctora en Historia de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

This is not least the case if you spend most of your days in the company of a man who died over four hundred years ago, as I have done in the last couple of years. Therefore, I here want to take the opportunity to acknowledge some of the many people who have made my work less lonely and who have helped me in various ways. My first sincere words of acknowledgement are due to my supervisor Dr. Aasulv Lande, Professor of Missiology with Ecumenical Theology at Lund University, who has been an unfailing source of encouragement during my years of undergraduate and graduate studies. In particular I want to thank him for believing in my dissertation project even in the dark periods when I did not do so myself. Likewise, I am especially indebted to Professor emeritus Magnus Mörner, who kindly accepted to become my assistant supervisor.

  • Saint Juan Diego Worksheet
    Name _____________________________________ Date _______________ Saint Juan Diego Directions: Read the biography and answer the questions. Saint Juan Diego was born in Mexico in 1474 before European Christians arrived in the New World. As an ordinary peasant living in the Aztec Empire, he was among the first to convert to Christianity and be baptized by Franciscan missionaries in 1524. Juan Diego regularly walked from his home past Tepeyac hill on the way to the Franciscan mission for catechetical instruction. On December 9, 1531 the Virgin Mary appeared to him along this journey on top of Tepeyac hill and asked him to tell the bishop to build a chapel in her honor there. After relaying the message to the bishop, who did not approve of the idea, he made his way home and Our Lady appeared to him again disappointed that he could not convince the bishop of her request. He tried again and the bishop asked for a sign that the apparition was real. The Virgin Mary told Juan Diego to collect flowers in his tilma (cloak) and bring them to the bishop. When Saint Juan Diego unfolded his cloak to show the bishop the flowers, he was amazed to see an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe appearing as an Indian woman shining in the sun. A chapel was constructed on the hill just outside of Mexico City and the miraculous image was put on display. Devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe became the source of many conversions to the Catholic faith and today she is the patroness of the Americas.

  • When the Saints Go Marching In! Lessons Learned from Causes, Past and Present Presented by Mark G
    When the Saints go marching In! Lessons learned from Causes, Past and Present Presented by Mark G. Thiel at the Tekakwitha Conference, Alexandria, Louisiana, July 2015 1. Welcome to “When the Saints Go Marching In!” and thank you for attending. My name is Mark Thiel, the Marquette University archivist who keeps the historical records of the Black and Indian Mission Office and the Tekakwitha Conference with some Lessons Learned from canonization Causes, Past and Present. 1 2. Since its earliest days, the Christian community has proclaimed its notable saints as heroes who lead the march into Heaven. From all Christians – laity, clergy, and religious of all cultures, continents, and ways of life, they have provided a mosaic of diverse models of Christian virtue who have served as our intercessors and mediators with God for granting miracles and favors. In so doing, the Catholic Church continues to teach that while Jesus holds all power and all prayer must be answered by him, he chooses to not act alone. Rather, he collaborates with his vast multitude, the Communion of Saints. 3. In 34 A.D., soon after Jesus’ crucifixion, the Apostles appointed Stephen as one of the first deacons to preach the Gospel in Jerusalem. He healed people and worked miracles too, which angered some who confronted him and stoned him to death. Then the Christian community proclaimed him a martyr and saint, and thus began the practice of proclaiming those saints those among us who lived exceptional holy Christian lives and entering their names into special canons or honor roll of saints.

  • Chapter Four Tepeyac and Plymouth Rock: Pilgrimage and Nationalism in Mexico and the United States Brian C
    Chapter Four Tepeyac and Plymouth Rock: Pilgrimage and Nationalism in Mexico and the United States Brian C. Wilson Perhaps some of the best examples of the migration of the sacred from pre-modern religions into the new religions of modernity can be found in the rituals of nationalism as they developed in the early modern period. In this chapter, I investigate the origins and processes that led to the development of national- ist pilgrimages by comparing four pilgrimages that arose in the colonial periods of Mexico and the United States. As we shall see, the transformation of a pilgrimage into a stable nationalist ritual was not a simple or straightforward process, and many elements had to mesh precisely if such a transforma- tion were to occur successfully. Of the four colonial pilgrimages discussed below, only three became the object of nationalist sentiment and of the three, only two have survived as nationalist pilgrimages to the present day. Although necessarily elliptical given restraints on space, I will endeavor in the following to explain some of the chief reasons why the migra- tion of the sacred was successful in some cases, but not in others. I will conclude by discussing some of the key similarities and differences between national- ist pilgrimage in Mexico and the U.S. 130 • Brian C. Wilson Two Pilgrimages in Colonial Mexico One of the most popular pilgrimages in New Spain during the sixteenth cen- tury centered on the image of the Virgin Mary venerated near Mexico City on the hill of Tepeyac. The origins of this pilgrimage site were ancient, as it was already a pilgrimage destination for the Indians before the conquest.

  • Guadalupe at Calvary: Patristic Theology in Miguel Sa´ Nchez’S Imagen De La Virgen Mari´A (1648)
    Theological Studies 64 (2003) GUADALUPE AT CALVARY: PATRISTIC THEOLOGY IN MIGUEL SA´ NCHEZ’S IMAGEN DE LA VIRGEN MARI´A (1648) TIMOTHY MATOVINA [Readers of Miguel Sa´nchez’s Imagen de la Virgen Marı´a, which contained the first published account of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s acclaimed apparitions to the indigenous neophyte Juan Diego, rarely recognize that he was trained in the theology of the Church Fathers, particularly in the writings of St. Augustine. Here the au- thor illuminates the influence of patristic thought and theological method on Sa´nchez, as well as the frequently ignored but founda- tional role of his theology and that of the Church Fathers on the Guadalupe tradition.] 1 IGUEL SA´NCHEZ’S Imagen de la Virgen Marı´a contained the first M published account of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s acclaimed appari- tions to the indigenous neophyte Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac.

    the Saint John Evangelist Saint Wendelin Roman Catholic Parish Roman Catholic Parish Sunday, September 30, 2018 The Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Sunday, A Message From The Pastor ... Dear Brothers and Sisters, Have you ever been on a team? Maybe you have in sports or at work. We all come from families which are teams, I think. What is a team? A team is a group of people who come together to work toward a common goal. A team can be a great thing. Did you see Vance McDonald stiff arm that guy from Tampa Bay and run for a touchdown on Monday night? It was an amazing play. He is a great player. But if it were just Vance McDonald versus the entire Buccaneers team, no matter how fast and strong he is, he would lose. A team makes things happen that an individual can’t do by themselves. Each person plays a role. Each role is important. Any one of the teammates not doing his job and great things like that play don’t happen. Ben would have gotten sacked or the Thursday, October 4 ball would have been Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi tipped and we would One of our most beloved Saints never have seen such See page 3 for more St. Francis information. a cool play. So what teams are you on? What comes to mind when I ask that? Maybe you think about sports you play Monday: or the organizations you belong to. Maybe Jb 1:6-22; Ps 17:1bcd-3, 6-7; Lk 9:46-50 you think about your parish.
