"The Memorial to the Unborn eloquently expresses the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe: God's all merciful love toward all of His children from the moment of their conception. Even as God Himself chose to be conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary, as the first moment of His greatest act of love of us, so He has taught us the inviolable dignity of all human life."

Archbishop Raymond L. Burke from the Homily given during Holy Mass in celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 2008.
