Description
Our Lady of Guadalupe is often revered as a symbol of the Holy Trinity, but her significance extends far beyond her iconic status. This book explores her role as the "Preaching Woman," a figure who embodies the feminine and indigenous aspects of Catholicism.
In this study, Maria Teresa Montes Lara OP and Vincent J. Pastro examine Our Lady of Guadalupe's identity as a Sacrament of the Holy Spirit and bearer of the Sacramental Word. They argue that she enables the Hispanic-Latino community to exercise their baptismal ministry as holy preachers.
Through a hermeneutic analysis, the authors reveal how Our Lady of Guadalupe's presence on the hill of Tepeyac changed the way people understood the dignity of the poor. This book offers a fresh perspective on the significance of this iconic figure in Catholic theology and practice.
