“Guadalupe: A Miracle Play”

Benedict XVI Institute
Guadalupe A Miracle Play - by the Benedict XVI Institute Cover

Guadalupe: A Miracle Play is a short dramatic reading adapted from the oldest known account of Our Lady’s apparition to St. Juan Diego (from the year 1649). Designed for families or small groups, it brings the Tepeyac story to life through simple roles and dialogue. The play highlights the tender language Our Lady used and the rich symbols that spoke to both Spanish and native peoples. It offers a beautiful way to enter more deeply into the miracle of Guadalupe and the message she came to give.

The miracle play is included in the Home Enthronement Kit, but you can download it as a standalone piece.

These take the form of an annual weekend-long retreat at St. Patrick’s Seminary in June and shorter “Evenings for artists and art lovers” at cities across the country. In community there is inspiration and the power to create more and better works of art for the greater glory of God.
