Description
In 1531, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Juan Diego on Tepeyac Hill in Mexico, leaving her miraculous image on his tilma. Known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, she is honored as the Patroness of the Americas and of the unborn. Her message of love and unity continues to inspire devotion worldwide, especially among those seeking her maternal protection.
The Our Lady of Guadalupe Medal is cherished by many as a reminder of Mary’s closeness to her children. For those of Mexican or Latin American heritage, it is a profound symbol of cultural identity, faith, and family unity. Expectant mothers often wear it for Mary’s protection during pregnancy, while others gift it as a sign of comfort, especially in times of difficulty.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sacramentals are sacred signs instituted by the Church to prepare us to receive the fruit of the sacraments and to sanctify different circumstances of our lives (no. 1677).When blessed by a priest, the medal serves as a sacred reminder of Mary’s intercession and God’s protective love.
This medal calls the faithful to live in Mary’s care and to trust in her constant presence, offering strength, peace, and faith for all who wear it.
