Welcome to Eyes on Christ, a writing ministry exploring nature, culture, technology, and the everyday stories from around the world that shape our faith.

Two Mothers, Two Continents
Guadalupe and Kibeho
If I’d heard of Our Lady of Guadalupe before I stood in front of her shrine at St. Michael’s Abbey, California’s newest, I don’t remember it. I didn’t even realize the gap until I found a book — quite by accident, on the Religion shelf of our local Barnes & Noble, buried among newer titles. I brought it home, a paperback I couldn’t put down, and was soon transported to the world of central Mexico, and more specifically to Tepeyac, where the Indian convert Juan Diego first saw Mary.
