The Pontiff assured that the words of the Virgin: “Am I not here, that I am your mother?”, take on “a new meaning” and that the “being” of the Virgin means “being permanently imprinted on those poor, perfumed clothes.” for virtues collected in a world that seems incapable of producing them.”
“Virtues,” Pope Francis continued, “that fill our poverty in the simplicity of small gestures of love, that illuminate our tilma, without us realizing it, with the image of a Church that carries Christ in its womb.”
Likewise, he highlighted the simple nature of the message of the Virgin of Guadalupe, “along with the security that she is my mother, that she is here.”
