The Theotokos of Guadalupe: Our Lady first appeared on December 9, 1591 in Mexico to St. Juan Diego, bestowing on him an icon “not made with human hands,” requesting that a church be built in her honor on that mountain (Tepeyac Hill). Her shrine there is one of the most celebrated places of pilgrimage in the Americas. (St.) Pope John Paul II named her the Patroness of the Americas. Our Lady of Guadalupe (December 12)

Troparion: “When you appeared in the New World, O Theotokos, you fixed your th image on Juan Diego’s rose-laden tilma. All the poor, hungry, and oppressed seek you, Lady of 27 Sunday After Pentecost Guadalupe. We gaze upon your miraculous icon and find hope, crying out to your Son concealed December 10, 2017 in your womb: Hear our plea for justice, O most merciful Lord.” “God thinks like the Samaritan who did not pass by the unfortunate man, pitying him or Kontakion: “No longer shall the New World lie wounded in useless blood sacrifice, looking at him from the other side of the road, but helped him without asking for for she who is clothed with the sun has revealed the Son to us. O Mother of the Americas imprint anything in return; without asking whether he was a Jew, pagan or a Samaritan, whether his name upon our hearts, just as you wove your image into the cactus cloth. Teach your children he was rich or poor: he asked nothing. He went to help him: God is like this.”…. Pope to cry out: O Christ God our hope, glory to you!” Francis.
