Prayer Blog
http://sttimothyteenprayerrequest.blogspot.com/
Are you going through something and need some extra grace to get through it? Nervous about the big test that's coming up tomorrow? Are you thankful to God for something and want everyone to know about it? I've created a on-line chapel for all of you so that you can pray for one another and celebrate in each other's victories, and support one another if you fall.
Saint of the Month
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Patroness of Life and the Americas
In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a humble Native American at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of what is now Mexico City.
She identified herself as the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth.
She made a request for a church to be built on the site, and submitted her wish to the local Bishop. When the Bishop hesitated, and requested her for a sign, the Mother of God obeyed without delay or question to the Church's local Bishop, and sent her native messenger to the top of the hill in mid-December to gather an assortment of roses for the Bishop.
After complying to the Bishop's request for a sign, She also left for us an image of herself imprinted miraculously on the native's tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 476 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin.
It apparently even reflects in Her eyes what was in front of her in 1531.
Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind. She reminds us that if we are clothed with the Son, we shall shine brightly and find peace in all that we do!
