The Virgin gives us wonderful moments


The Virgin gives us wonderful moments when we visit her shrines.

I had the opportunity to visit the Shrine of Guadalupe this week and pray a rosary right there in front of her.

I can not describe the feeling you get.

And then I went with my wife to the Shrine of Our Lady of Schoenstatt in Querétaro, two hours from Mexico City.

She gave me the honor of a Mass celebrated for my birthday. And then the choir sang the "mañanitas" and just in the morning with Mexican guitars and voices at the request of Sister Lourdes, who directs the activities in Queretaro.

At night I had a real mariachi, with more songs, not just the "mañanitas". The Mexicans are distinguished by their love for the Virgin and for being excellent hosts.

The Blessed Mother gave me a beautiful and priceless gift.

I share this with my friends because sometimes we forget how wonderful the Blessed Mother is.

And that was not the best, first was the spiritual fullness that She made me feel, the certainty of her presence and concern for each of us.

She is at my side, and yours too if you want.
