Prayer: Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe, mystical rose, mother of the true God in whom we live: You came to Juan Diego when he was small and afraid, and you told him: am I not here who am your mother? Say it to me today. I am small too, and my worries are real. Cover me with your mantle of stars; let no sorrow, sickness or fear convince me that I walk alone. Take my prayer to your Son — for my family, for the unborn and their mothers, for all the peoples of this continent you call your own, and for everyone who has forgotten what motherly love feels like. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Empress of the Americas, pray for us. Amen.

A prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Pray to Our Lady of Guadalupe for the protection of life, families, migrants, the vulnerable and anyone carrying sorrow. Name the people and communities you are holding in prayer, then let the request lead to compassion and practical care rather than leaving devotion at the level of words.
The page identifies the particular Guadalupe prayer and its cultural and Catholic context. Marian intercession is directed to God through Jesus, and the page avoids claiming that a title or image guarantees protection or a desired outcome.
For the feast (and for families)
December 12 fills churches before dawn with mañanitas and roses. At home: her image, a candle, this prayer, and one line for each person in the family. Our Lady chose to arrive looking like a local mestizo woman — every family that prays to her is on her turf.
Keep praying
