2006 Dec 12 Tue:Our Lady of Guadalupe F
Readings from Common of the Blessed Virgin Mary
For today’s reflection, instead of words, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is presented here. Over the centuries, many have noted how the icon calls to mind the vision of Revelation 12:1 “A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars....”
This page, from the official website of the Guadalupe shrine, offers (in Spanish) some other observations about the catechetical significance of the image: http://www.virgendeguadalupe.org.mx/estudios/interpretacion.htm
But I really encourage you to prayerfully contemplate the image on your own, in order to be inspired with a personal interpretation of how Mary leads us to Christ her Son.
