what is the story behind lady of guadalupe?

The Aztecs were a warlike people who practiced bloody human sacrifice to appease their "gods". When Aztec power was broken and their "gods" were revealed for who and what they really were, Mary appeared to one of them in the form of an indigenous native girl, and most of the Aztecs voluntarily converted to Catholicism.
Our Lady of Guadalupe ( a.k.a. The Blessed Virgin Mary) is not only the Patroness and Protector of Mexico, but is also the "patron saint" of the United States.
Pray and ask for the Blessed Virgin Mary's guidance and protection for the United States of America in these troubled and uncertain times.
