The Site Where Our Lady Appeared: Rare Footage of 1941 Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica in Mexico
Church Pop - Dec 12, 2022
Dec. 12 is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas.
In 1531, when Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to St. Juan Diego on the Hill of Tepeyac, she requested the diocese build a shrine in her honor.
This shrine, also known as the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is located on that same hill. It now attracts more than 20 million visitors each year!
Rare footage from a 1941 Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico recently surfaced on social media. Approximately 20 countries across the Americas joined in this celebration.
The video shows Archbishop John Joseph Cantwell of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles officiating, along with countless church prelates and pilgrims.
It’s so beautiful!
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
