To know that she was truly alive in the tilma and being able to physically touch a copy of the image was overwhelming. Hearing all the powerful stories and encounters changed my life for good. Now, I pray to Our Mother every single day. I ask for Our Lady of Guadeloupe’s intercession daily. After every […]

Iridescence

So although there is sometimes artistic license taken […]

Sharper than Steel

Guadalupedia Post The Aztec Empire sacrificed hundreds of thousands in their religious rites prior to the defeat of the empire by the Spanish in 1521 and the outlawing of the practice of human sacrifice.

No Brush Strokes

“Guadalupedia” Did you know that the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe contains no brush strokes? In 1979 two scientists from the University of Florida used infrared to analyze the image and found that there was not a single paint brush stroke on the entire image.

98.6° Fahrenheit

Guadalupedia: Did you know that the original image of Our Lady of Guadalupe maintains a tested and consistent temperature of 98.6°F despite the ambient temperature around the image? Whether it is warmer or colder around the image, she maintains a consistent, healthy, living human body temperature.

Guadalupe Missions is a non-profit that provides talks, retreats and mission-pilgrimages throughout the U.S. and in Mexico City.

Our missionary work is inspired by the Beatitudes as well as the example and guidance of Our Lady, serving the poorest and most neglected individuals and communities.

Guadalupe Missions’ purpose is to evangelize by sharing the love of Christ through the gift of His mother Mary – meeting both worldly & spiritual needs.

In our talks and retreats we unpack the treasury of symbolism and depth seen in the image itself as well as the rich historical, scientific, and theological significance of a miraculous image that resulted in the largest conversion in recorded history.

We welcome you to respond to Our Lady’s generous and heartfelt invitation to greater intimacy with her Son, Jesus Christ.

We hope that you find the resources on this site (designed by missionaries – not web designers!) useful on your journey to Christ.

Know of our prayers!
