Our Father ...
Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen and my Mother, I thank you for your first apparition to the Blessed Juan Diego when you revealed that you are the Most Pure Virgin, Mary, Mother of the True God and Mother of all mankind. I thank you for requesting a temple to be built where you stood, to bear witness to your love, your compassion, your aid and your protection for all who would love you, trust you, and invoke your help.

Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen and my Mother, I thank you for your second apparition to Blessed Juan Diego when, upon his return from the Bishop's house, he knelt in humiliation and defeat before you since he was unable to accomplish your mission.

Third Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe promises a sign to the Blessed Juan Diego for the Bishop.
Our Father ...
Mother, I thank you for your third apparition to the Blessed Juan Diego when, after this unsuccessful attempt to have a temple built, you said to him, "So be it, son. Return tomorrow in order that you may secure for the Bishop a 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."
Three Hail Mary's, one Glory Be
Fourth Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe fulfills her promise by showing herself on the tilma of Blessed Juan Diego.
Our Father ...
Meditation: Our Lady of Guadalupe, my Queen and my Mother, I thank you for your fourth apparition to the Blessed Juan Diego when you ordered him to pick the roses he would find on the summit of the hill and bring them to you. I thank you for arranging them in his tilma when you said, "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 you for your image printed on the tilma which appeared when the roses were released.
Three Hail Marys, one 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 hopeful 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.
Prayer To Our Lady Of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe, my mother, into your hands joined in prayer, take my prayers, petitions and hopes, and present them to Jesus for me.
Remembering the love and care your hands rendered to Him, He will not refuse what they hold now, even though they are from me. Amen.
