Enjoy this song in Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe!
OUR LADY OF THE AMERICAS
In Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe
(Melody – America the Beautiful)
Upon the hill of Tepeyac
Our Blessed Lady came.
To Juan Diego she appeared
And called to him by name.
O Lady of the Americas
Your portrait we revere.
Enfold us in your loving arms,
Our Queen and Mother dear.
She bade Juan fill his tilma then
With roses of Castille
As sign for which the Bishop asked
Her presence to reveal.
And on the cloth she had impressed
Her portrait bright and clear
That all who see may be convinced
That she is ever near.
And Juan Diego’s picture, too,
She kept within her eyes
That future generations might
Her knowledge realize.
This proof of love she gave to us
That we might never fear:
Discouragement, anxiety,
All flee when she is near.
We thank You, Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, too,
That You have sent Our Lady here
To draw us close to you.
O Lady of the Americas etc.

Thanks, Denise!
Fixing the house with Christmas decorations I’ve got a print of the Virgin of Guadalupe, my husband sent me over one year.The Virgin appears as the protector of unborn children. Waking up this morning the first thing that came to my mind was writing about the picture you got yesterday. The Catholic Family Blog Xhonane has asked us to publish a post about La Virgen de Guadalupe, too many things that I have made to write this post, so I sit at the keyboard and write. I do know that flash as I do a thousand things at once, and let the softy emotions pass before publishing. Well four days ago showed me a rosary to pray the Rosary for unborn children, had never seen it, I placed a link.
Now I see the picture of the Virgin and then invite us to write about the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12 As you see my dear Jesus is leading me by the hand to where he wants.
The picture is an invitation to spiritually adopt an unborn child and a specific prayer to pray daily for one year. Indicates that the child adopted by you alone can know God, but in the world to come and throughout eternity both you and your child, you will find happiness in each other’s company.
I think this is what I am asked to do, promote spiritual adoption of an unborn child to pray for the life of that baby. With all my love to the Patroness of the Americas Our Lady of Guadalupe.
I placed what appears on the back of the picture.
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Protector of unborn children.
To promote respect for Venezuela
human life from the time of
design the invite to perform the
Spiritual Adoption of an unborn child praying
that baby’s life.
“During his earthly life this child adopted
for you will be known only to God, but
the world to come and for eternity
Therefore you, as the child find
happiness in each other’s company. ”
It is recommended that daily
following sentence for a period of one year:
HOLY MOTHER OF GUADALUPE
Cover with your blanket to all babies
have been conceived and unborn. Gives
their fathers and their mothers the grace of
received with immense love, and to each
of us, grant us always do
everything in our power to
protect them from harm.
We ask
through Jesus your beloved Son
blessed fruit of thy womb. Amen
