"I am your mother. Are you not under my protection? Why do you fear, if you are in my mantle, and in my arms?" Our Blessed Mother's words to Saint Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill almost 500 years ago still ring true for us today. With the Saint Juan Diego Laminated Prayer Card remember the miracles surrounding the story of Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Made in Italy, this laminted prayer card features the image of Our Blessed Mother's appearance to Saint Juan Diego on one side and the following prayer on the back:
Prayer to St. Juan Diego
Dear St. Juan Diego, at Tepeyac Our Lady told you, “I am your mother. Are you not under my protection? Why do you fear, if you are in my mantle, and in my arms?” In your humility, you were ‘altogether necessary’ in God’s plan. Confidently you faced a skeptical Bishop Zumarraga, presenting him with roses which miraculously grew on the hillside. Wondrously, the image of the Virgin appeared on your tilma! Because of your faithfulness, the Gospel of Our Lord spread through Mary’s image, and many people came to believe in Him. Your devotion lives on in the people of Mexico, the Americas, and the whole world. O St. Juan Diego, please pray for me (mention your request). May Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the true God, bring all peoples to Jesus, Her Son. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
