Agnus Dei


Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, by the will of the Father and the work of the Holy Spirit your death brought life to the world. By your holy body and blood free me from all my sins and from every evil. Keep me faithful to you teaching and never let me be parted from you. 


The image above was taken in July 2009 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin.  The Shrine was conceived by Bishop Raymod L. Burke in 1995.  The beautiful Shrine Church was completed in 2008.  Besides the Church, the Shrine includes a monument to the Unborn, Rosary meditation path, Our Mother of Good Counsel Votive Candle Chapel, and special Grotto for Saint Joseph the Workman, Saint Francis of Assisi, Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, The Seven Blessed Martyrs of Thailand, and Saints Isidore and Maria. The guide at the Shrine Church claimed that the vision for the Shrine's future includes adding community of contemplative nuns and a retreat center.

God Bless you Archbishop Burke for this beautiful gift to the Church!
