Please RSVP by contacting the Corpus Christi parish office at 255-4600. Our Lady of Guadalupe tells us that she is our mother. By nature, between mother and child exists a deeply intimate and personal relationship. She affirms this and so encourages us to come to her as mother, trusting in that relationship so that we are able to confide in her our struggles and hardships, to ask for her aid and to love her in a personal way. In this, we may be receptive of and grateful for the motherly tenderness and compassion with which she wishes to embrace our hearts.
