Keeping the faith ferventFour days ago, here in Mexico City, I took a visiting friend to La Villa de Guadalupe. We heard mass at the basilica, paid our respects to Our Lady of Guadalupe, gathered some religious articles to give away and share with friends, had ourselves (and our gifts) blessed and finally, lit some candles before we called it a day.
