Last month, we had the great blessing of traveling to Rhode Island to share the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Flower World Prophecy. From Providence College to the Chesterton Academy, and from St. Mark in Jamestown to St. Charles Borromeo in Providence, we encountered a deep hunger for understanding how God prepared the Americas for the arrival of the Gospel.

We are especially grateful to Kristin Kennedy, who first heard about our work during a pilgrimage to Mexico and helped make these events possible. Her generosity and conviction opened doors that allowed us to reach both English- and Spanish-speaking communities with a message that has become our life’s work.

At the heart of our talks was this question: Could God have prepared the indigenous people of Mexico for the coming of the Gospel long before 1531? We believe the answer is yes. Through Mesoamerican song, poetry, and culture, we find traces of a divine preparation culminating in the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe. As we shared with audiences, this is not a story of manipulation, but of mercy—a bridge built over centuries, leading to Christ.

We were moved by the thoughtful questions, heartfelt conversations, and the warm reception from everyone we met. Thank you, Rhode Island, for welcoming us so graciously. May Our Lady of Guadalupe continue to guide us all closer to her Son.
