| Virgen de Guadalupe |
God's merciful plan envisioned from eternity
longs to join heaven and earth in Her maternity.
Ancient people chosen in God's holy covenant,
salvation from slavery for a faithful remnant.
Then a singular grace precedes Paschal Mystery:
an Immaculate Heart transforms human history.
Beloved Daughter of the Father, Spouse of the Spirit,
Mother of the Son whispers Love so all can hear it.
Down the centuries God's kingdom continues to come,
until December roses cause distant hearts to hum.
Blessed Virgin identifies and sides with the least;
on behalf of all peoples, She slays the ancient beast.
United in spirit under Her motherly cloak,
siblings without borders break division's weary yoke.
Peace and healing come through Her dear Child, God's holy Word,
Multilingual voices sing praise with "Joy to the World"!
