Fr. Zuhlsdorf blogs from La Crosse, Wisconsin as he attends the Canon Law Conference and captures on video a talk by Archbishop Raymond Burke about the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe from which the conference was held. This is most appropriate because he was instrumental in starting and completing this glorious shrine and he mentions that the body of Fr. John Hardon a good friend of the bishop (who’s cause for beatification is in progress) may soon be transferred to the shrine.

You can see our own more visually orientated video on the shrine (which our friars staff)  here and here.

But Archbishop Burke is also here for the Marian Symposium which will be two weeks from today. You can read about here with its great line up of speakers.

Ave Maria!

Yesterday’s feast got me thinking about St. Juan Diego, of Our Lady of Guadalupe fame.

Under normal circumstances, for a beatification there must be a miracle which has been rigorously studied and approved by the Congregation for Causes and Saints accepted by the Holy Father. In the case of Juan Diego, John Paul II decided to beatify him without the approved miracle. He had been declared Venerable in 1987.

There was a miracle for his canonization, however. And it is quite a story.
