She's So Pretty

"She's so pretty," I thought to myself, as I looked to her from the pew.  "So simply beautiful."

Our Lady of Guadalupe... It's a picture, and an image engrained in the fabric of a peasant's garment, and an indelible mark in the fabric of our faith.  The Blessed Mother, in the familiar pose, adorned in the faded blue and gold of the popular print, looks to us for connection, as she offers us the love and hope of her womb, Jesus Christ.

May her image, her love, and her hope imprint our hearts with the love of God, like she did with Juan Diego, giving us the courage to share the fragrant miracle of the power of the Holy Spirit, through which we too can build up the Church of God!
