Our Lady of Guadalupe -The Many Faceted Diamond
Episode 14
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
When Christians seek to celebrate the foundation of Christmas, they collide with what’s been called the scandal of the holiday. Jesus was born to a family not of power and wealth, but of poverty and humility-a family soon forced to flee, to become homeless refugees, their infant son targeted for death by the insecurities of a king. It resonates with the reality of many who have been our neighbors but are now themselves forced into hiding or exile. Many, particularly those of Mexican heritage, are drawing inspiration in these difficult times from the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our guest in this episode of Challenge 2.0, a professor at Seattle University, explains how this almost five-hundred year old story offers guidance not only for Mexican-Americans, but for all.
