to O Maria
On the barren hill of Tepeyak, the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego and imprinted her marvelous image on his tilma, on December 12, 1531.
Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Mystical Rose,
make intercession for holy Church,
protect the sovereign Pontiff,
help all those who invoke you in their necessities,
and since you are the ever Virgin Mary
and Mother of the true God,
obtain for us from your most holy Son
the grace of keeping our faith,
of sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life
of burning charity, and the precious gift
of final perseverance. Amen.
Miraculous Prayer to the Virgin of Guadalupe
Beautiful Virgin of Guadalupe, I ask you on behalf of all my brothers and sisters of the world that you bless us and protect us. Give us proof of your love and kindness. Oh pure Virgin of Guadalupe, give me through your Son, forgiveness for my sins, blessings for my job, cure for my diseases and needs, and all that you deem necessary I ask for my family. Oh Mother of God, do not disdain the pleas we present to you in our needs. Amen.
Prayer to the Virgin of Guadalupe by Pope John Paul II
O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of the true God and Mother of the Church! You, who from this place reveal your clemency and your piety to all those who ask for your protection; hear the prayer that we address to you with filial trust, and present it to your Son Jesus, our sole Redeemer.
Mother of mercy, teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, to you, who come to meet us sinners, we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love.
We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, our infirmities, and our sorrows.
Grant peace, justice, and prosperity to our peoples; for we entrust to your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother.
We wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ in His Church: Hold us always with your loving hand.
Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray to you for all the bishops, that they may lead the faithful along paths of intense Christian life, of love and humble service of God and souls.
Contemplate this immense harvest, and interced with the Lord that He may instill a hunger for holiness in the whole People of God, and grant abundant vocations of priests and religious, strong in the faith and zealous dispensers of God's mysteries.
Grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God.
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Fair Love, protect our families, so that they may always be united, and bless the upbringing of our children.
Our hope, lookk upon us with compassion, teach us to go continually to Jesus and, if we fall, help us to rise again, to return to Him, by means of the confession of our faults and sins in the sacrament of Penance, which gives peace to the soul.
We beg you to grant us a great love for all the holy sacraments, which are, as it were, the signs that your Son left us on earth.
Thus, most holy Mother, with the peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which comes to us from your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, Who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

1 Our Father, 4 Hail Mary's, 1 Glory Be
First
Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe appears to Juan Diego the
first time. Our Lady requests a temple in her honor.
1 Our Father, then Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen
and my Mother, I thank you for your first apparition to Juan
Diego when you revealed that you are the Most Pure Virgin, Mary.
Mother of the true God and Mother of all mankind, I thank you for
your requesting a temple to be built where you stood, to bear
witness to your love, your compassion, your aid, and your
protection for all who would love you, trust you, and invoke your
help.
3 Hail Mary's, 1 Glory Be
Second
Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe appears to Juan Diego a
second time.
1 Our Father, then Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen
and my Mother, I thank you for your second apparition to Juan
Diego when, upon his return from the Bishop's house, he knelt in
humiliation and defeat before you since he was unable to
accomplish your mission. I thank you for the courage and
encouragement you gave to Juan Diego to make a second appeal to
the Bishop.
3 Hail Mary's, 1 Glory Be
Third
Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe promises a sign to Juan
Diego for the Bishop.
1 Our Father, then Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen
and my Mother, I thank you for your third apparition to Juan
Diego when after this unsuccessful attempt to have a temple
built, you said to him, "So be it, son. Return tomorrow in
order that you may secure for the Bishop the sign for which he
has asked. When this is in your possession, he will believe you;
he will no longer doubt your word and suspect your good faith. Be
assured that I shall reward you for all that you have
undergone."
3 Hail Mary's, 1 Glory Be
Fourth
Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe fulfills her promise by
showing herself on the tilma of Juan Diego.
1 Our Father, then Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen
and my Mother, I thank you for your fourth apparition to Juan
Diego when you ordered him to pick the roses he would find on the
summit of the hill and bring them to you. I thank you for
arranging them in his tilma when you said, "this cluster of
roses is the sign you shall take to the Bishop. You are to tell
him in my name that in this he will recognize my will and that he
must fulfill it. You are my ambassador, wholly worthy of
confidence. Only in the presence of the Bishop shall you unfold
your mantle and disclose that which you carry." I thank you
for your image printed on the tilma which appeared when the roses
were released.
3 Hail Mary's, 1 Glory Be
Closing Prayer: Remember O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother, to you I come, before you I kneel, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
