Archbishop of San Antonio releases weekly message

Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, M.Sp.S., issued a weekly message on October 23, 2026, regarding the spiritual significance of the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego.

In his message, the Archbishop noted that while Our Lady of Guadalupe requested a sacred house be built, her request extends to how the faithful prepare their own hearts for God. He stated that the Lord desires to inhabit people affectionately and that the communion of the Church serves as the house God is building. García-Siller described how the presence of Jesus gathers his household and nourishes them through the Eucharist.

The message was released through the Archdiocese of San Antonio. The Archbishop's weekly reflections are also published in The New Messenger, the archdiocesan newsletter that provides news and event information every Friday morning.
