Today, September 8, is the celebration of the birthday of the Virgin Mary, the Immaculate Conception. In 1531, Our Lady appeared to St. Juan Diago-Guadalupe and said, “Listen and let it penetrate your heart, my dear little son. Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?”
