In his message during the Holy Sacrifice offered in St. Peter’s Basilica on December 12, the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pope Francis exhorted us to move forward by recognizing the presence of the Holy Mother and accepting the virtues that God pours into our lives.

Pope Francis gave a homily during the Holy Mass held in St. Peter’s Basilica on December 12, the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in connection with the “Tilma” cloth, which bears the image of the Holy Mother. Pope Francis said that the image of the first disciple, Mary, the mother of the believers, and the church can be seen in the garment called “Tilma”, and it is clear here that although we may be worthless in front of the world, we are very valuable in front of God.
The Blessed Virgin Hu asks Diego to gather flowers. Spiritually, flowers symbolize virtues that God pours into the heart; They are not the result of our work. But by gathering flowers here, the Pope explained, what God wants from us is that we gather those virtues and perfume our delicate realities with good deeds and by eliminating hatred and fear.
The Pope recalled that the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe is “I am not with you, your mother”. The Pope explained that to be with the Holy Mother is to be with us in this world, which is incapable of recreating that “tilma”, just as her image is permanently imprinted on that priceless garment.
The image of the “Thilma” garment in front is the message that the Blessed Virgin Mary is our mother and is with us. The Pope reminded us that this message is to protect us from social and political ideas that use the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe for their own purposes. The Pope concluded his homily by saying that Our Lady of Guadalupe did not put forward any ideologies, but the “tilma” robe and roses.
