What a beautiful, blessed event this presentation turned out to be! My host - my "Auntie Z" - is a long-time devotee of Our Lady of Guadalupe and was a regular member of this ministry's now-defunct Our Lady of Guadalupe Prayer Group in Kailua back in the 1990s.
Praying the Rosary
Feeling nostalgic over her past experiences with our former group, she invited this author to speak to her family and friends about the story and significance of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which I was happy to oblige.

The talk included a history of the famous Mexico apparitions; detailed scientific confirmation of the Guadalupe image's supernatural origin; subsequent miracles related to the Virgin of Guadalupe; and personal testimonies (including photos) of special graces and signs experienced by our prayer group.
The presentation was well-received by the attendees after which we prayed the Rosary to honor the Holy Mother. The gathering then concluded with a delicious luncheon courtesy of our host who was thrilled at the successful outcome of her endeavor for our illustrious Patroness.

As an added blessing, 6 past participants of our former prayer group, including me and Auntie Z, were in attendance at this event, which made for a heartwarming reunion and reminiscing of fond memories of our weekly meetings together - Praise the Lord!

asked Our Lady's special blessing for the
event just moments before snapping the
above photo - incredible!).

"Peter, thank you so much for leading us
again to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Everyone
was so thankful and asking if it's possible
to have a group prayer for OLGuadalupe
each month. You inspired us all."

fellowship, Peter; it was inspiring to know
more about our Lady of Guadalupe."
