Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

"Tradition says that the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a Mexican indigenous worker, at a hill in North-west Mexico City in 1531. She remains a sign of hope for workers, Mexicans, and indigenous persons all over the world."

Hail Mary, Lady of Peace, 
We pray for the peace in our world; make up peacemakers.

Hail Mary, Friend of common people, 
Unite us across economic lines; together let us raise up the cause of the oppressed.

Hail Mary, Mother of Mexico, 
Help us both appreciate Latin America's culture and work to end its poverty.

Hail Mary, Mother of the infant Jesus, 
We pray for all children who are victims of war and hunger; let us stand for them.

Hail Mary, Wife of the carpenter Joseph, 
We pray for the rights of hardworking laborers in all the world; let their dignity be recognized.

Hail Mary, Woman of generations, 
Move us to speak for the elderly who lack adequate health care and shelter. 

Hail Mary, Homeless Mother, 
We pray for those without homes; let us advocate for affordable housing.

Hail Mary, Lady of all colors,
Show us how to love all people by challenging racism and discrimination.

Hail Mary, Mother of Our World, 
Make us global citizens, working for justice and well-being in all the world.

Together we pray for Peace:  

Diso te salve, María. Llena eres de gracia, 
El señor es contigo.
Bendita tú eres entre todas las mujeres.
Y bendito es el fruto de tu vietre: Jes
ús.
Santa María, Madre de Dios,
Ruega por nosotros pecadores,
Ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte.

Am
én.
