What Is the Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe?
In December of 1531, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared four times to St. Juan Diego, speaking to him with tenderness and calling him:
“Juanito, Juan Dieguito — my little son.”
She requested a church in her honor and, as proof of the apparitions, left her miraculous image on Juan Diego’s tilma — an image still perfectly preserved nearly 500 years later, defying all scientific explanation.
Devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the strongest in the United States, especially among Hispanic Catholics, families, and those who seek Mary’s maternal protection.
The novena from December 4 to December 12 prepares the soul for the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
A Historical Miracle of Our Lady of Guadalupe (The Tilma)
🌟 The Miracle of the Tilma and the Roses
In the dead of winter, when no roses bloom in Mexico, Juan Diego found Castilian roses growing on the barren hill of Tepeyac.
Mary instructed him to carry the roses in his tilma to Bishop Zumárraga.
When Juan Diego opened his tilma:
- the roses fell to the floor
- the Bishop saw the miraculous image of Our Lady
- and at that moment believed
Scientific studies show:
- the tilma should have disintegrated in 20–30 years
- the colors have no natural or synthetic source
- Mary’s eyes reflect the people present at the miracle
- the tilma has survived humidity, a bomb, and time
This miracle converted millions and continues to bring grace to the faithful today.
