Nican Mopohua - Part 2 - Background

NICAN MOPOHUA: BACKGROUND

1.
Ten years after the City of Mexico was conquered, with the arrows and shields put aside, when there was peace in all the towns,

2.
just as it sprouted, faith now grows green, now opens its corolla, the knowledge of the One by whom we all live: the true God.

3.
At that time, the year 1531, a few days into the month of December, it happened that there was a humble but respected Indian, a poor man of the people;

4.
his name was Juan Diego; he lived in Cuauhtitlán, as they say.

5.
and in all the things of God, he belonged to Tlaltilolco.

Nican Mopohua - Part 1 - The Introduction

(The Nican Mopohua is the official document detailing the story of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Diego. The Nican Mopohua will posted on this blog in sections. This is the first of many sections, The Introduction.)

NICAN MOPOHUA:  INTRODUCTION



Here is told and set down in order how a short time ago the Perfect Virgin Holy Mary Mother of God, our Queen, miraculously appeared out at Tepeyac, widely known as Guadalupe. 

First She caused herself to be seen by an Indian named Juan Diego, poor but worthy of respect; and then her Precious Image appeared before the recently named Bishop, Don Fray Juan de Zumarraga.

Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

O Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of Mercy,
you are the refuge of sinners,
the health of the sick,
and the comfort of the afflicted.
You know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings.

By your appearance
at the Grotto of Lourdes
you made it a privileged sanctuary
where your favors are given
to people streaming to it from the whole world.
Over the years countless sufferers
have obtained the cure for their infirmities
-- whether of soul, mind, or body.

Therefore I come to you
with limitless confidence
to implore your motherly intercession.
Obtain, O loving Mother,
the grant of my requests.
Through gratitude for Your favors,
I will endeavor to imitate Your virtues,
that I may one day share in Your glory.
Amen

O Mother of Perpetual Help,

grant that I may ever invoke Thy most powerful name,

which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying.

Why this blog????

So,
why this blog???

The content of this blog
has been moved,
removed,
and moved again.

I started out as a blog.
And then decided
Our Lady deserved her own website.
So,
I built a website,
and with a wonderful domain name at that.
And then,
when I went to renew the domain,
someone had purchased it out from under me.
Alas,
I purchased the domain
at a very low price
and,
in the end,
I guess you get what you pay for.
Next time,
I’ll stick with GoDaddy
for all my domain needs.
And sadly,
the website that was later built there
had absolutely nothing to do
with the Nican Mopohua
or Our Lady of Guadalupe.

I then purchased another domain,
and began the process
of migrating the website over.

And then I just decided
that I love blogger.
It’s so easy to use
and the tabs at the top of the page
will help me to keep
handy stuff in place
for those of you who are looking
for something specific
in regards to Our Lady,
i.e.,
Prayers, video, songs. . .
. . .or even the text
to the Nican Mopohua itself.

Maybe one day
I’ll get back to the process
of building websites.
But for now,
this is the place
where you’ll find
your information station
about
Our Lady of Guadalupe,
St. Juan Diego,
and the Nican Mopohua.

And for those of you who don’t know,
The Nican Mopohua
is the official document
relating the story
of the apparitions
of Our Lady of Guadalupe
to St. Juan Diego.

But not to worry.
I’ll have a blog entry soon
that will explain in greater detail
the history
of The Nican Mopohua.

Peace to all who enter here.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for us.
St. Juan Diego, Pray for us.

Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Mystical Rose,
make intercession for holy Church,
protect the sovereign Pontiff,
help all those
who invoke you in their necessities,
and since you are the ever Virgin Mary
and Mother of the true God,
obtain for us from your most holy Son
the grace of keeping our faith,
of sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life
of burning charity, and the precious gift
of final perseverance.

Amen

Welcome to Nican Mopohua

Welcome to my Nican Mopohua blog.

To put it simply,

I have a love for and a devotion to

Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Belief in Her Son

is so much easier for me

because of Her apparitions at Tepeyac.

The more I study the history of the time

and the details of the Guadalupe event,

the more devoted I become to Her,

and the more trust I have in Her Son.

Anyhow,

if you aren't aware,

the Nican Mopohua is the official document

detailing the story of

the apparitions

of Our Lady of Guadalupe

to St. Juan Diego.

It is entitled "Nican Mopohua"

because it was originally written

in the Nahuatl language,

the first language of St. Juan Diego.

And the first words in Nahuatl are:

Nican Mopohua.

With this blog

I hope to bring you

a few things

that will help increase

your devotion to Our Lady

and trust in Her Son.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace to all who enter here.
