Semper Virgo

Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Semper Virgo is Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke’s five-year preparation for the Quincentennial of the Apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This campaign of prayer and theological renewal is produced by the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin. This channel broadcasts daily Marian contemplations composed in the voice of Cardinal Burke, who invites you to join him in drawing nearer to Our Lady.

Semper Virgo is a rigorous, five-year cycle of daily meditations. Each year is given to one mystery of the Blessed Virgin Mary, beginning in Year One with the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.

Each day opens with Holy Writ, drawing from Saint Luke or Saint John, before tracing the Church's historical path through the verbatim writings of the Fathers, Doctors, Councils, and Popes. Every meditation concludes at Tepeyac, setting the mystery beside the miraculous image on the tilma of Saint Juan Diego.
