This is the English version of the original recount of the apparitions of Our Lady Guadalupe. It is a historical text called the Nican Mopohua, which means “Here is told” in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. It is the text that preserves the encounter between the mother of God and Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin on the Tepeyac hill in December, 1531. Pope John Paul II, who canonized Juan Diego in 2002, called Our Lady of Guadalupe "the Mother of the civilization of love," and he said that she is the “Star of the first and the new evangelization of America." Pope Francis said that "Our Lady of Guadalupe, in fact, proclaims God in the most suitable language, the mother tongue." Which we can hear very clearly in the Nican Mopohua. And Pope Benedict XVI said that "Our Lady of Guadalupe signals the presence of the Saviour to the indigenous and mestizo population. She always leads us to her divine Son, who is revealed as the foundation of the dignity of every human being". A podcast of JuanDiegoNetwork.com
