Blessing

Join me in the celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, mother for millions of Christians in Latin America who find in her the motivation to be followers of Jesus. I adapted this blessing from the words of the Nican Mopohua, written in 1560 in Nahuatl, the indigenous language spoken in that time in Mexico. This is the book of accounts of the Virgin of Guadalupe, who one day, in December, appeared to the indigenous devout Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin. Her sanctuary at the hill of Tepeyac is the third most visited Christian sanctuary in the world after Rome and Jerusalem.
Listen to me, my dearest. To follow the things of God and everything that makes God be God, we must follow the road to the little hill, where a song that exceeds the coyoltotl and the tzinitzcan can be found. A song that is extremely soft and delightful, a song from a land that calls each of us by our name. May we listen to this song, and may it be so with our hearts.
Amen.
