Our Lady of Guadalupe Reflection Revelations of Divine Love He did not say: You will not be troubled, you will not be belabored, you will not be disquieted; but He said: You will not be overcome.

Him and trust greatly in Him, and all will be well. - Julian of Norwich According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to an indigenous man named Juan Diego on Dec. 9, 1531.

Juan Diego told the bishop about the apparition and request, but he didn t believe him and demanded a sign before he would approve construction of the church. On Dec.

Juan took the roses to the bishop and when he opened his cloak, dozens of roses fell to the floor and revealed the image of the Virgen of Guadalupe imprinted on the inside.

3 Our Lady of Guadalupe Reflection Revelations of Divine Love He did not say: You will not be troubled, you will not be belabored, you will not be disquieted; but He said: You will not be overcome. God wants us to pay attention to these words, and always to be strong in faithful trust, in well-being and in woe, for He loves us and delights in us, and so He wishes us to love Him and delight in Him and trust greatly in Him, and all will be well. - Julian of Norwich According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared to an indigenous man named Juan Diego on Dec. 9, The Virgin asked that a shrine in her name be built on the spot where she appeared, Tepeyac Hill, which is now in a suburb of Mexico City. Juan Diego told the bishop about the apparition and request, but he didn t believe him and demanded a sign before he would approve construction of the church. On Dec. 12, the Virgin reappeared to Juan Diego and ordered him to collect roses in his tilmátli, a kind of cloak. Juan took the roses to the bishop and when he opened his cloak, dozens of roses fell to the floor and revealed the image of the Virgen of Guadalupe imprinted on the inside. The tilmátli with the image is on display in the Basilica de Guadalupe. The appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe to an indigenous man is said to be one of the forces behind creating the Mexico that we know today: a blend of Spanish and native blood. Her dark skin and the fact that the story of her apparition was told in the indigenous language of Nahuatl and in Spanish are said to have helped convert the indigenous people of Mexico to Christianity at the time of the conquest. She is seen as having a blend of Aztec and Spanish heritage. Her image has been used throughout Mexican history, not only as a religious icon but also as a sign of patriotism. Miguel Hidalgo used her image when he launched his revolt against the Spanish in She could be seen on the rebels banners and their battle cry was Long Live Our Lady of Guadalupe. Pope John Paul II canonized Juan Diego in 2002, making him the first indigenous American saint, and declared Our Lady of Guadalupe the patroness of the Americas. Second collection The second collection today is for Retired Religious Please be as generous as your means permit. St. Michael the Archangel Please guide and protect our Police Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Personnel and First Responders Pope Francis on Advent In this season of Advent, we are called to expand the horizons of our hearts, to be amazed by the life which presents itself each day with newness. In order to do this, we must learn to not depend on our own certainties, on our own established strategies, because the Lord comes at a time that we do not imagine. He comes to bring us into a more beautiful and grand dimension. Ask Sr. Rose In the Catholic Church is there only the Latin Rite? There are Eastern Rite Churches who are in union with Rome under the Holy Father (They celebrate Liturgies (Mass) in different languages and their own unique Liturgies: Maronite Rite, Syrian Rite, Armenian Rite, Chaldean Rite, Melkite Greek Rite, Romanian Rite, Ruthenian Rite, Russian Rite, Ukranian Rite, Syro-Malabar Rite.

Patrick 10:45 AM Fr. Caruso 12:30 PM Fr. Justice 5:30 PM Fr. Caruso St. John of the Cross The 16 th -century Spanish saint is known as one of the greatest mystical theologians in the history of the Church. After joining the Carmelites, he found the order to be suffering from excessive laxity. Encouraged by St. Teresa of Ávila to stay within the order, the two became close friends and worked together toward reform. St. John founded the first Discalced monastery and devoted his life to pushing for reforms and to writing. In 1579, he achieved the separation of the Discalced and Calced communities, but he was tormented by those who opposed his reforms and refused to acknowledge the validity of the order. He died in 1591 after being stripped of all offices and banished by the order s general superior. He is known as the Doctor of Mystical Theology, and in his work, he expounded on the development of the soul through purgation, illumination and transforming union. His notable works include Spiritual Canticle, Ascent of Mount Carmel, Living Flame of Love and Dark Night of the Soul. The Church celebrates his feast on December 14 th.
