Interesting facts about Our Lady of Quadelupe

Tonight at "holy hour" we talked about different miracles... mostly we talked about the Shroud of Turin and Our Lady of Quadelupe. I learned some interesting facts about the picture of Our Lady on the Juan Diego's tilma. I did not know that if you looked at Our Lady's pupils you can see the reflection of three people in her eyes, those of Juan, the Bishop, and the translator that translated the conversations between Joan and the Bishop. Also, not only are the reflections visible, but the way they are placed is scientifically in the proper spots in the pupil with all the shadowing and everything. I do not think I ever learned that before, and if someone did tell me, I obviously was not paying too close attention to it at all. Another thing that was pointed out was how the stars on Our Lady's cloak are actually different constellations, and the way they are placed on Juan's tilma happen to correspond exactly to where to stars and constellations were on the night that she appeared to him. Just some things to think about. Very interesting to say the least.
So in honor of us talking about Our Lady of Quadelupe, I have found a very pretty prayer, which I have placed below.
