Lady of Guadalupe,
You have long been present to the sorrows
Of the people of these American lands.
You brought to those without power
Your image, your presence,
Your grace and gifts, like brilliant roses in a cold month.
Pray for us to be present as well to your beloved people,
Especially women living in fear:
In Mexico, in Guatemala, in El Salvador,
Where young women continue to disappear,
Where female bodies are found, mutilated,
Where those in power do nothing,
