McGucken, auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles, will offer the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Our Lady of Guadalupe's legend dates back to a wintry day in Mexico where a peon, Juan Diego, was startled by the sight of the Virgin as she stood on a mountainside. He hurried to tell his priest. The latter doubted his integrity. So the Mexican returned to the Virgin.

She gave him many roses. When he took them, wrapped in a blanket, to the priest they unfolded into an unusual likeness of the Virgin of Guadalupe. His original mantle with the Virgin's image still is framed above the Mexican church's altar of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
