Marian devotion
Guadalupe and the poor
Mexico City
The Virgin chose the poorest man in the people to speak to her.
Place: Mexico City
Type: Apparition / Advocation
Juan Diego was a poor indigenous, old, powerless and rich. The Virgin did not choose the bishop, nor the governor, nor the rich. He chose him.
«Eres el más pequeño de mis hijos», le dijo la Virgen. «Pero eres el que más necesito.»
Today, the poor of Mexico go to Guadalupe to ask for their children, for their work, for their life. The Virgin receives them all, regardless of their condition.
The Virgin chose the poor because they understand her better.
