I received the happiest news from a cousin to whom I had sent the St. Gerard medal and "Motherhood" prayer card. She is now three months pregnant, and wore the medal faithfully every day! Joanne - MA

In 1531, Our Lady of Guadalupe, a vision of the Virgin Mary, appeared to a Native American Christian on a hilltop outside what is now Mexico City. Today, she is one of the most powerful female icons in the Catholic Church, recognized by the Vatican as "Patroness of the Americas." The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, which displays a cloak bearing her miraculous image, is the second most visited Roman Catholic shrine in the world.

Our Lady of Guadalupe has played a central role in the growth of Catholicism in Mexico and throughout the Western Hemisphere. In Our Lady of Guadalupe, Anderson and Chavez trace her history as a religious and cultural symbol from the sixteenth century to the present. Looking at the changing face of the Catholic Church in North, South, and Central America, they show how Our Lady of Guadalupe has become a significant figure within the Churches a potent symbol of peace and unity to all peoples of the Americas.

From A Native American - "Beautiful"
By Denise J Marcellais from Belcourt, ND on January 29, 2010
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The book was great, it was as though things were explained in a way that not everyone knows, from the view of a Native American, I can see the beauty of Our Lady wanting us to know who she is and why She shows Herself - always to bring us to Her Son Jesus, Our Lord and Savior...
