Saint Juan Diego meeting the Perfect Virgin, Holy Mary of Guadalupe

from "El Nican Mopohua", Prologue
Prayer of Intercession to Saint Juan Diego
You who were chosen by Our Lady of Guadalupe
as an instrument to show to your peoples and
the whole world that the path of the Christian
is one of love, compassion, understanding, values,
sacrifices, repentance of our sins, appreciation
and respect for the creation of God and, above all,
one of humbleness and obedience.
You, who we now know are in the Kingdom of our Lord and close to our Mother, be our angel and protect us, stay with us while we fight in this modern life without knowing, the majority of the time, where to fix our priorities.
Help us to pray to God, through the Heart of our Lady of Guadalupe towards the Heart of Jesus, to obtain the gifts of the Holy Spirit and to use them for the good of humanity and the good of our Church. Amen

Prayer of Thanksgiving to Saint Juan Diego
Juan Diego, thank you for the evangelizing message
which you have given us with humility.
Thanks to you we know that the Most Holy Virgin of Guadalupe is the Mother of the True God for whom one lives and is the tabernacle of Jesus Christ who gives us the Spirit that enlivens our Church.
Thanks to you we know that the Holy Mary of Guadalupe is also our amorous and compassionate Mother, who hears our cries, our sadness; because She remediates and cures our sorrows, our miseries and pains.
Thanks to the obedient fulfillment of your mission we know that Holy Mother of Guadalupe has placed us in her heart, that we are under her care and protection, that she is the fount of our joy, that we are in the creases of her mantle, in the embrace of her arms.
Thank you Juan Diego for this message that fortifies in us Peace, Unity and Love. Amen

EL NICON MOPOHUA ("HERE IS TOLD") - The original XVI Century Guadalupes Apparitions Story by the Indian scholar Antonio Valeriano; circa 1560;
https://en.wikipedia.org
LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE LIFE OF JUAN DIEGO before
his conversion, but tradition and archaelogical and
iconographical sources, along with the most important
and oldest indigenous document on the event of Guadalupe,
"El Nican Mopohua" (written in Nhuatl with Latin characters,
1556, by the Indigenous writer Antonio Valeriano), give some
information on the life of the saint and the apparitions.
Juan Diego was born in 1474 with the name "Cuauhtlatoatzin" ("the talking eagle") in Cuautlitln, today part of Mexico City, Mexico. He was a gifted member of the Chichimeca people, one of the more culturally advanced groups living in the Anhuac Valley. When he was 50 years old he was baptized by a Franciscan priest, Fr Peter da Gand, one of the first Franciscan missionaries.
