| | | One of the most influential leaders of the Catholic community in the U.S. recounts the history of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and illuminates her importance to the future of the Catholic Church in North and South America.
Annotation:
Carl Anderson and Father Eduardo Chavez recount the miraculous history of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the spiritual apparition who appeared before a newly converted peasant on a Mexican hillside in 1531, an event which helped spawn the sweeping acceptance of the Christian faith in Mexico and Latin America. As Anderson and Chavez demonstrate, the evidence for the Virgin Mary's appearance, primarily the image of herself she left on the cloak of Saint Juan Diego, is likely the best physical proof of divine intervention in existence, and its sacred importance to the Christian faith has not waned in almost 500 years. The shrine in Mexico City which houses the cloth continues to draw swarms of pilgrims every year, affirming Our Lady of Guadalupe's present and future place in the hearts of Christians everywhere.
