Mother, I thank thee for your third apparition to St. Juan Diego when, after this unsuccessful attempt to have a church built, thou didst say to him, “So be it, son. Return tomorrow in order that you may secure for the Bishop, the sign for which he has asked. When this is in your possession, he will believe you; he will no longer doubt your word and suspect your good faith. Be assured that I shall reward you for all that you have undergone.”

Pray three Hail Marys followed by one Glory Be

THE FOURTH APPARITION
Our Lady of Guadalupe fulfills her promise by showing herself on the tilma of St. Juan Diego.

Pray one Our Father

Prayer:
Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen and my Mother, I thank thee for your fourth apparition to St. Juan Diego when thou didst order him to pick the roses he would find on the summit of the hill and bring them to thee. I thank thee for arranging them in his tilma when thou didst say: “This cluster of roses is the sign that you shall take to the Bishop. You are to tell him, in my name, that in this he will recognize my will and that he must fulfill it. You will be my ambassador, wholly worthy of my confidence. Only in the presence of the Bishop shall you unfold your mantle and disclose that which you carry.” I thank thee, Our Lady, for thy image printed upon the tilma, which appeared when the roses were released.

Pray 3 Hail Marys followed by 1 Glory Be

Closing Prayer:
Remember, O most gracious Virgin of Guadalupe, that in thy celestial apparition on the Mount of Tepeyac, thou didst promise to show thy compassion and pity towards all who, loving and trusting thee, seek thy help and call upon thee in their necessities and afflictions; also to hearken to our supplications, to dry our tears and to give us consolation and relief. Inspired with this confidence we come before thy august presence, certain that thou wilt deign to fulfill thy merciful promises.

We are full of hope that, standing beneath thy protection nothing will trouble or afflict us. Thou has desired to remain with us through thy admirable image, thou who art our Mother, our health and our life.

O Mary, Mother of God, hear our petitions and in thy mercy answer us. Amen

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for us!
