Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
PRAYER ART CONTEST
2021 has been a year of challenges and getting back into the rythm of things, but the faith that we have for Our Lady of Guadalupe continues to be as strong as ever. This year, we celebrated Our Lady of Guadalupe in her day in school after a year of not being to celebrate on campus. The art and representation of Our Lady of Guadalupe by Carlos T. was chosen by our staff and faculty to represents this year's prayer card. Below are the entries of our talented students that call themselves guadalupanos de corazón! Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Pray for us.

During this pandemic it had been very hard focusing on school and trying to live normally. I have seen how this has grown us all apart and what damages it did to society. I started praying to our lady of Guadalupe and put out a rose in my room every night. She heard my prayers and answered my calls for help. My lady slowly has been healing me and the world and ridding the effects that this pandemic left us. That is why I wanted to depict a rose behind our lady of Guadalupe to show her presence in that rose that I prayed to every night. That’s how I dedicated this painting for her mass.

I felt the presence of Our Lady of Guadalupe, when I was coming back to school in person. When this happened it felt that there was hope that things are getting better. The feelings that I have felt when restarting school, was excitement and a bit nervous because it was a first time me coming back to campus after about a year of virtual learning. My family is an important part also of my learning, because they are there when I needed it during virtual learning and always. The moments of grace is that Our Lady of Guadalupe will make this year and next year and the years ahead to be full of peace and love. This is depicted in my artwork, by Our Lady of Guadalupe showing light to this year and blessing this year. Also it depicts that there's always happiness even if there are days that are difficult or full of obstacles.

During the year of 2021 I felt the presence of our Lady of Guadalupe in every single step i took. She was present when I took my first step into the school, when I was at home. I felt her presence when I asked her to watch over my family and friends on a daily basis.

Whenever I'm stressed I like to imagine a big field full of flowers. Lately, with the chaos of the pandemic and schoolwork, I've been imagining this place a lot. I also try remembering my happiest memories and among these is the lady of Guadalupe mass. I remember it being so special and it always makes me smile when I look back on it.
