In 1999, Pope John Paul II committed the cause of life, especially the unborn, to the loving protection of Our Lady of Guadalupe, adding special significance to the image. While carrying an image of Our CNS FILE PHOTO Lady of Guadalupe may seem natural, the image that was present on June 14 was different, thanks to the hard work of several people. This particular image and its evangelical mission were blessed in 1991 by Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo of the Archdiocese of Guadalajara, Mexico. He wanted the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to be carried to the people of the United States to “help bring back the Church and to end the horrible crime of abortion.” At the time, Cardinal Posadas prayed, “The Catholic people of Mexico and I pray to God that the paths of the journey of the Missionary Im- age of Our Lady of Guadalupe throughout the United States of America, become rays of Our Lady’s love, care, protection and help for all her children, particularly the unborn.” The Missionary Image is an actual size — four feet by six feet — replica of the original miraculous image of Our Lady that she left on St. Juan Diego’s tilma, which can be found at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. During the first half of June, the image traveled to 12 different locations throughout the Diocese of Venice, including 11 parishes from Naples to Sarasota as well as in front of the offices of an abortion doctor in Port Charlotte. The faithful were encouraged to touch the image as they pray
