On the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12, the rector of the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City, Msgr. Diego Monroy Ponce, prayed to the Mother of God for her protection over Mexico and all Mexicans amidst the crisis of violence that the country is currently experiencing.
According to the Archdiocese of Mexico City’s news service, Msgr. Monroy told a packed Basilica, “We want, Mother, a Mexico that is more just, more unified and more democratic; a Mexico at peace and free of violence, where living together in peace and the seeking of these values are the motor that drives this country, this continent.”
