St. Juan Diego's feast day falls on the anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady at dawn on December 9, 1531. Providentially, today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception as well. The Blessed Virgin left her image imprinted on the Tilma of Juan Diego, miraculously preserved today. The image resembles Spanish prototype images of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption.
"Know for certain, littlest of my sons, that I am the perfect and perpetual Virgin Mary, Mother of the True God through Whom everything lives, the Lord of all things near and far, the Master of Heaven and earth." - Our Lady to St. Juan Diego
Mexico needs many prayers at this moment in time. Many are losing their Catholic faith as well as their lives.
