Is the Virgin Mary the same as Guadalupe?

Yes, Our Lady of Guadalupe was an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who has appeared in different times and places, and is known by different titles according to the particulars of each appearance. As Our Lady of Guadalupe she has an indigenous appearance, whereas in her European apparitions, such as Lourdes (France) and Fátima (Portugal), she appears European. In her Roman apparition to Alphonsus Ratisbonne, a Jew, she appears as a Jewish woman with child – perhaps the closest to her own historical reality. Taken together, these apparitions indicate that Mary is truly the mother to all peoples and that she wants to reach out to us as we are.
