Our Lady of Guadalupe
The article gives a brief summary of Our Lady of Guadalupe, but there is one part from the reflection that I'd like to call to attention:
According to a contemporary chronicler, nine million Indians became Catholic in a very short time. In these days when we hear so much about God’s preferential option for the poor, Our Lady of Guadalupe cries out to us that God’s love for and identification with the poor is an age-old truth that stems from the Gospel itself.
Whatever you may think of Marian apparitions, clearly they have lasting effects on the world.
