Descendit de coelo, et apparuit in terra nostra, ut matrem se ostenderet incolis ejus deipara virgo Maria. Abiit rursus equidem, sed depicta mansit mirabiliter in amictua Joannis didaci. Mexici adest, et colitur sacrosanctum ejus simulacrum, firme testimonium sui amoris, pretiotior Americae thesaurus, securumque pignus salutis nostrae. Color ejus est indicae gentis, sed splendor reginae coelestis. Cum indo loquitur, sed super seraphim innixa. In humili depingitur amictu, sed tota pulchra detegitur mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus ejus, circumdata varietate, et in capite ejus corona stellarum duodecim. ¡Mirabile portentum!
