Excellent and deeply moving account of the story of Juan Diego and its significance for so many people. A must read!

Our Lady of Guadalupe: Mother of the Civilization of Love by Eduardo Chávez, Carl A. Anderson

2.0

For as new as this book is, I was put off by the authors’ use of the word “Indians”, by the word “man” in place of “humanity” or “people”, and by the failure to more honestly describe the treatment of native peoples by invading Spaniards. But I’m headed to the shrine and wanted to read up. The book was helpful for that. 

I much prefer Virgil Elizabdo’s “Guadalupe: Mother of the New Creation”
