Confronted with a hostile colonial government and Native Americans wary of conversion, the newly-appointed bishop-elect of Mexico wrote to tell the King of Spain that, unless there was a miracle, the continent would be lost. Between December 9 and December 12, 1531, that miracle happened, and it forever changed the future of the continent.<br><br>It was then that the Virgin Mary famously appeared to a Native American Christian convert on a hilltop outside of what is now Mexico City. The image she left imprinted on his cloak or tilma has puzzled scientists for centuries, and yet Our Lady of Gudalupe’s place in history is profound. A continent that just months before the apparitions seemed completely lost to Christianity suddenly and inexplicably embraced it by the millions. Our Lady of Guadalupe's message of love replaced the institutionalized violence of the Aztec culture, and built a bridge between two worlds — the old and the new — that were just ten years earlier engaged in brutal warfare.<br><br>Today, Our Lady of Guadalupe continues to inspire the devotion of millions.<br>From Canada to Argentina — and even beyond the Americas — one finds great devotion to her, and great appreciation for her message of love, unity and hope. Today reproductions of the Virgin’s miraculous image can be seen throughout North and South America, in churches and homes, on billboards and even clothing apparel. Her shrine in Mexico City, where the miraculous image is housed to this day, is one of the most visited in the world.<br><br>In <i>Our Lady of Guadalupe: Mother of the Civilization of Love,</i> Anderson & Chavez trace the history of Our Lady of Guadalupe from the sixteenth century to the present discuss of how her message was and continues to be an important catalyst for religious and cultural transformation. Looking at Our Lady of Guadalupe as a model of the Church and Juan Diego as a model for all Christians who seek to answer Christ's call of conversion and witness, the authors explore the changing face of the Catholic Church in North, Central, and South America, and they show how Our Lady of Guadalupe's message was not only historically significant, but how it speaks to contemporary issues confronting the American continents and people today. 6845577 4 8 2009 Our Lady of Guadalupe: Mother of the Civilization of Love total:10|5:4|4:2|3:2|2:1|1:1| 10 37 38 3 6651004 0385527721 9780385527729 10 3 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255970404m/6651004.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6651004-our-lady-of-guadalupe 1 0 false Sat Oct 24 18:43:33 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 18:37:28 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 01:42:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6651004 0385527721 9780385527729 10 3 3.70 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255970404m/6651004.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6651004-our-lady-of-guadalupe 5 0 false Tue Oct 27 21:17:30 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 07 06:51:41 -0800 2009
