While the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has become a cultural icon, veneration of the Virgin Mary shouldn't stop there. The primary mission of Mary's apparition was to lead souls to her Son, Jesus Christ.
St. John Paul II prayed a short prayer at the canonization of St. Juan Diego that expresses this truth, praying that we may be led closer to God through her apparition.
