GUADALUPE ln l53l, a Mexican Indian named Juan Diego was startled one morning on his way to Mass by a blinding light surrounding a beautiful lady. The lady identified herself as the Mother of God and asked that a chapel be erected on the site. Juan Diego eagerly carried the message to the Bishop of Mexico City, who being uncertain of the vision, re- quested proof that Our Lady's appearance on the hill was genuine. To assure the Bishop that she had appeared to Juan Diego, Mary filled the lndian's cloak or tilma with beautiful and fragrant roses. When the roses were emptied from the tilma at the Bishop's feet, a far more wonderful miracle was seen. An image of the Blessed Mother was found on the cloth. A copy of this image appears on the opposite page The tilma is now venerated in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, Mexico. 5 LOURDES Below is seen the magnificent Basilica in Lourdes, France. Near the site of this great structure, Our Lady ap- peared to St, Bernadette in i858 and pleaded for A'penance-penance-penance. Here, to, she re- ferred to herself as the Immaculate Conception and brought forth from the rock a miraculous spring. Since that date, princes, prelates, and paupers have paid homage to their Heavenly Mother at this shrine It is so renowned, in fact, that it is one of the greatest shrines in Christendom today. To show His approval of this love of Him through His Mother, Our Lord has cured thousands of their afflictions when they bathed in the miraculous spring of Lourdes
