Prayers to our Lady of Guadalupe #3

In the United States, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

is celebrated on December 12. The following is the

Opening prayer of the memorial of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

God of power and mercy,

you blessed the Americas at Tepeyac

with the presence of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe.

May her prayers help all men and women

to accept each other as brothers and sisters.

Through your justice present in our hearts

may Your peace reign in the world.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with You

and the Holy Spirit, one God,

for ever and ever.

Amen.
