Cardinal Burke shares love for Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe at gathering in NYC

A small group of Relevant Radio® listeners and supporters gathered at the Harvard Club in New York City on Thursday, February 8, for an intimate gathering with His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke. John Harper, host of Morning Air®, served as Emcee for the evening.

Cardinal Burke is the Patron of the Order of Malta, serves on the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, and is founder and President of the Board of Directors for the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He spoke to the group about his love and vision for founding the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe; his talk was recorded by John Harper and Matt Beardsley and later shared on Morning Air.

“Saint John Paul II published his apostolic exhortation, The Church in America, and he talked about the importance of Our Lady of Guadalupe and her message for all of America, and especially her message in defense of and in promotion of human life, which in our lifetime I saw come under terrible attack in our nation. And so … we were still in the planning phases to develop this shrine, this place of pilgrimage and we decided that it would be a shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe,” said Cardinal Burke.

The story behind the St. Gianna Beretta Molla painting at the Guadalupe Shrine

God always has a plan, and although we may not know it or see it at the time, we can look back and understand that what felt like a tough circumstance was really God at work in our lives. Such was the case in the early 2000s. At that time, there were several young couples having difficulties with pregnancy and they were brought together through a new saint, Gianna Beretta Molla.

This all happened about the same time the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe was being built, and the story unfolds in the shrine’s painting of St. Gianna Beretta Molla, who is surrounded by children known as Gianna babies.

The artist, Neilson Carlin, was painting St. Gianna Beretta Molla when, midway through, it was suggested that she be surrounded by Gianna babies, or children whose births were attributed to her intercession. Above her is Our Lady, Patroness of the Unborn, who is surrounded by unborn children offering roses.

What people don’t often realize is that the children in the painting are real Gianna babies who live in or near La Crosse.

Also, the Guadalupe Shrine does have St. Gianna Molla's actual gloves available for veneration.  I've heard some pilgrims will come and put them on and pray for assistance with conception/pregnancy.

Oops, Sister reminded me, tomorrow April 28th the Shrine is hosting a Relic Veneration for Saint Gianna Beretta Molla. Details

Guadalupe Shrine in La Crosse launches new campaign to build retreat house and complete endowment trust


It's hard to believe the Shrine has gone this long without expressing concisely what the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is and why it exists like it does in this series of videos. They are really well done, I'd recommend watching them all.

"Everybody wants to say 'it can't be done anymore.'  And this building says, 'Yes, it can be done.'" - Duncan Stroik

Through the history of Christendom, peasants of impoverished means built glorious monuments to the Faith.  I would hope the most prosperous country in human history would not forget to give God glory through our very best offering to Him, like the offering of Abel the Just.
