Chiquinquirá and the Colombian priests
Colombia
Colombian priests have Chiquinquirá as their spiritual mother.
Place: Colombia
Type: Apparition / Advocation
Each Colombian priest has an image of Chiquinquirá in his room. Before he says mass, he asks him to help him to be a good shepherd.
Tradition tells that when a priest doubts his vocation, he goes to Chiquinquirá and sits in front of the Virgin. The Virgin smiles at him and reminds him why she chose to be a priest.
El/Cardenal Santos Abril, nuncio apostólico en Colombia, dijo: «Chiquinquirá es el corazón de la Iglesia en Colombia.»
Chiquinquirá is the mother of Colombian priests.
