In a month when roses do not bloom Juan Diego gathered them in his tilma (sort of a poncho) and carried them to the bishop to prove that Our Lady had really appeared to him. When he dropped his tilma in front of the bishop, as the roses poured out, the bishop saw on the tilma of Juan Diego the image of Our Lady of Guadaloupe. Sometimes called the brown virgin, she looks like a Mexican.
Splendid God, bless the people of Mexico and protect the dignity of all immigrants.
