Pope Francis visited Mexico City and the
Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe
in February of 2016.
The framed tilma
containing the image of the Guadalupe
can be swung back into a room
where individuals and small groups
can gather for prayer after
the basilica closes each evening.
I have created my own
Akathist to the Virgin Mary ~ Guadalupe
and am pleased to offer it to you
for your personal prayer.
Perhaps the next best thing
to sitting prayerfully with the Pope before
the tilma's inexplicably wondrous image.
The Akathist-prayer will be published here
on the Pauca Verba page tomorrow,
Sunday, January 23.
