The realities of getting around an apparition site in a different country is explored in this week’s podcast.
I visited the “Our Lady of Guadalupe” apparition site in Mexico City a number of years ago now. Recalling my experience in today’s podcast, specifically getting there and also walking up “Tepeyac Hill” becomes more vivid as the years go by.
The actual experience is a paradox of inspiration, research, detailed planning, speculation, unexpected challenges, insecurity, confidence, blind faith and timing melded together, in an amalgamation of reward and relief, tension and finally peace.
My desire to see and walk the grounds where the Virgin Mary appeared to St Juan Diego over 500 years ago just came to my attention out of the blue (as have all my other tours to various apparition sites in the world.)

And sharing those travels with my lovely wife who has now transitioned to Heaven makes all those investments of time during life more meaningful with each passing day…
My take away for this one is the reward of persistence and perseverance in the face of the unknown and unexpected.
But more importantly, to have total faith in the Virgin Mary whose requests go to her son for giving overarching protection for those on pilgrimage.
In this case a visit to climb “Tepeyac Hill” at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica and Shrine apparition site in Mexico City.
May the Virgin Mary intercede for your prayers to the Lord Jesus Christ.
