FROM THE DESK OF FATHER DERIVAN:�!
Today our Advent celebration takes on a new color. Two times during the year, the priest wears the rose�colored vestments at Mass. One is in the middle of Lent. The other, today, is at the midpoint of Advent. The reason is simple: it is the Church’s visible reminder to us that already the purple of our Advent preparation is mixed with the whiteness of our expected joy at Christmas. The rose or pink color is a glimpse of the feast that is ahead. It is a reminder to us that Advent quickly goes by and that Christmas is near.! But there is something more here. The rose�color of the priest’s vestments and the pink candle of the Advent Wreath remind us of something else, or shall we say, someone else. For pink is for a lady and our pink candle and vestments honor Our Lady, Mary Mother of Jesus, Mary our Mother too. She is here at the middle of Advent. She is always in the middle of our Christian lives. We can say quite truly that Advent belongs to Mary. She knew Advent better than anyone else. She was Advent, for “Advent” means coming and the one whom the Lord chose to be the instrument for His coming to us was Mary His Mother. When our retired Pope Benedict XVI spoke several years ago at Cologne, Germany, he spoke of the Magi, the Wise Men who came to Bethlehem, the gospel says, ‘going into the house they saw the child with Mary His Mother and they fell down and worshipped Him.’ Here at long last was the long awaited moment�their encounter with Jesus. ‘Going into the house’ represents the Church. In order to find the Savior, one has to enter the house which is the Church. One must come to sense that the Church is his or her home inasmuch as it is the home of Christ where Mary His Mother dwells.” The Pope is telling us that the Church is where we find Jesus in the arms of His Mother Mary. To use the Pope’s words, “It is Mary who shows us Jesus her Son. She introduces every person and enables every person to see and touch Jesus and to take Him into his arms. Mary teaches us to contemplate Jesus with the eyes of the heart and to make Jesus our very life.”! “It is Mary who shows us Jesus. She teaches us to make Jesus our very life.” Is there anything more beautiful that we can say about Our Blessed Mother than that? It is Mary who shows us Jesus. That is what she has been doing for two thousand years�showing !Jesus. She showed the Infant Jesus to simple shepherds and kingly wise men who came on bended knee to the manger of Bethlehem. !But she did not stop showing Jesus when the first Christmas was over. For two thousand years, she has shown Jesus to every person whose heart in filled with faith and love. Tomorrow we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady’s appearance at Guadalupe in Mexico four hundred and eighty�five years ago. You know the story. On a December day in 1531, a humble man, Juan Diego, on his way to church, met a beautiful lady on the hill of Tepayac outside Mexico City. She identified herself as the ever Virgin Mary. She asked Juan Diego to go to the bishop and have a shrine built there for Jesus her Son. When the bishop asked for a sign, Our Lady told Juan to go to the top of the hill where he would find roses. She told him to bring these to herself and she arranged them in his tilma or cloak. She told him to bring them to the bishop. When Juan came to the bishop, he let the flowers roll down. But he saw the bishop kneel down looking at Juan’s cloak. For there on this humble man’s tilma was this beautiful picture of Our Lady as she appeared to Juan Diego. She chose to appear to him as a pregnant mother, carrying the unborn Jesus within her womb. She was telling Juan and all of us that she continually is bringing Jesus into the world, into the lives of men and women who come with faith. She is continually showing us Jesus and bringing us to Him.! In these final weeks of Advent, turn to Mary. Remember that during the first Advent, two thousand years ago, Mary was literally traveling to Bethlehem. She was traveling to the first Christmas. Do you want to prepare for Christmas? Then travel with Mary. !She will never let you down. She said to Juan Diego at Guadalupe, “Do not be afraid. Am I not here, I who am your Mother?” She says that to us during this Advent. She says that to us during every day of life. She will say that to us when we go to heaven’s door. “Do not be afraid. Am I not here, I who am your Mother?”!!

Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in Mexico as the pregnant Mother of God to St. Juan Diego, an Aztec Indian, on December 9, 10, and 12th, 1531. She left a Miraculous Image of her appearance on his cactus fiber cloak, or “tilma”, which still exists today for all to see in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.! Our Lady came to offer faith, hope and consolation to the oppressed natives of Mexico and to reconcile them with their Spanish !rulers. She put an end to the bloody human sacrifice of the Aztecs and converted ten million natives in the next 10 years!! The Aztecs practiced human sacrifice as an offering to their false gods. Hernando Cortes and the Spanish conquered and evangelized them. After the conquest, the Spanish rule of the natives was so severe that a bloody revolt was imminent. Bishop Zumarraga prayed for Our Lady to intervene to prevent an uprising, to reconcile the Spanish and the natives and to bring peace. He asked that he would receive roses native to his home land of Castile, Spain as a sign that his prayer would be answered.! On December 9, 1531, Our Lady appeared to St. Juan Diego who was a recently converted Aztec. She asked him to go to the Bishop and request him to build a church for her on the barren hill of Tepeyac which is now part of Mexico City. Our Lady wanted to show her merciful love to all of her children. The prudent Bishop asked Juan to ask the Lady for a sign. Juan did so and Our Lady promised to give him the sign.! On December 12th, Our Lady again appeared to Juan on Tepeyac Hill and told him to pick the Castilian roses which miraculously appeared there and bring them to the Bishop as the sign for him to believe her request. Juan gathered the roses into his tilma and brought them to the Bishop. ! He opened the tilma to show them and, to everyone’s astonishment, the Image of Our Lady appeared on it. The Bishop then built the church as Our Lady had requested and ten million natives were converted and baptized in the one, true faith within the next 10 years. Human sacrifice ended in Mexico forever. Our Lady of Guadalupe, which means Crusher of the serpent’s head, brought the light of the true faith, crushed the false gods of Mexico and established an era of peace.! It has been scientifically established that the Miraculous Image is not a painting. There is no undersizing of pigment in the tilma. It should have rotted after twenty years but it has not decayed after 485 years. In 1921 the tilma survived unscathed from a bomb blast set off directly underneath it by Mexican anti�Catholics.! A photographer enlarged a photograph of the eyes of the Image and found the faces of Juan Diego and Bishop Zumarraga !miraculously reflected in the eyes of Our Lady! The distortion and place of the optical reflection in the eyes of Our Lady were !identical with what is produced in a human eye. Five eye doctors who examined Our Lady’s eye said that they looked into a !human eye. ! Pope Pius XII said that the Miraculous Image was left by “brushes which were not of this earth” and “we are certain that as long as Our Lady of Guadalupe is recognized as their Queen and Mother, America and Mexico are safe.”! Pope John Paul II named Our Lady of Guadalupe as Queen and Mother of America and established December 12th as her Feast Day!throughout America. He prayed at her Basilica, “Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of Peace, save the nations and peoples of this !continent!” ! !
THE STORY OF !OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE!
JOHN PAUL II’S PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE� O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of the true God and Mother of the Church, who from this place reveal your clemency and your pity to all those who ask for your protection, hear the prayer that we address to you with filial trust, and present it to your Son Jesus, our sole !Redeemer.! Mother of Mercy, Teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, to you, who come to meet us sinners, we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, our infirmities and our sorrows. Grant peace, justice and !prosperity to our peoples; for we entrust to your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. We wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ in His Church; hold us always with you loving hand.! Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray to you for all the Bishops, that they may lead the faithful along paths of !intense Christian life, of love and humble service of God and souls. Contemplate this immense harvest, and intercede with the Lord that He may instill a hunger for holiness in the whole people of God, and grant abundant vocations of priests and religious, strong in the faith and zealous dispensers of God’s mysteries.! Grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect our families, so that they may always be united, and bless the !upbringing of our children.! Our hope, look upon us with compassion, teach us to go continually to Jesus and, if we fall, help us to rise again, to return to Him, by means of the confession of our faults and sins in the Sacrament of Penance, which gives peace to the soul. We beg you to grant us a great love for all the holy Sacraments, which are, as it were, the signs that your Son left us on earth.! Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which come to us from you Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.!�His Holiness John Paul II Mexico, January 1979, visiting Her Basilica dur ing his fir st foreign tr ip as Pope.!

DECEMBER 9�MEMORIAL (MEXICO)�ST. JUAN DIEGO�
(1474�1548)��
First called Cuauhtlatohuac (“The eagle who speaks”), Juan Diego’s name is forever linked with Our Lady of Guadalupe because it was to him that she first appeared at Tepeyac hill on !December 9, 1531. The most famous part of his story is told in connection with the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe (December 12th). After the roses gathered in his tilma were transformed into the miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, however, little more is said about Juan Diego.! In time he lived near the shrine constructed at Tepeyac, revered as a holy, unselfish and compassionate catechist who taught by word and especially by example.! During his 1990 pastoral visit to Mexico, Pope John Paul II confirmed the long�standing liturgical cult in honor of Juan !Diego, beatifying him.!!
God counted on Juan Diego to play a humble yet huge role in bringing the Good News to the peoples of Mexico. !Ovgercoming his own fear and the doubts of Bishop Juan de Zumarraga, Juan Diego cooperated with God’s grace in !showing his people that the Good News of Jesus is for !everyone. Pope John Paul II used the occasion of this !beatification to urge Mexican lay men and women to assume their responsibilities for passing on the Good News and !witnessing to it.!!
“Similar to ancient biblical personages who were collective representations of all the people, we could say that Juan Diego represents all the indigenous peoples who accepted the Gospel of Jesus, thanks to the maternal aid of Mary, who is always !inseparable from the manifestation of her Son and the spread of the Church, as was her presence among the Apostles on the day!of Pentecost” (Pope John Paul II, beatification homily).! !

Our Lady of Guadalupe: New Life for the New World�Father James M. Sullivan, O.P.�
�
Perhaps there is no more perfect feast for Advent than the one we celebrate today. Perfect first because it is a feast of Our Lady. It was the Blessed Virgin’s singular privilege to bear the Son of God. It was because of her fiat, her “yes,” that the world would come to know its Redeemer at Christmas.!!
An Expectant mother� But today’s feast is also perfect for Advent because of how Our Lady chose to appear. In the apparitions to St. Juan Diego in 1531, the Virgin appeared in a unique way. Out of all the Marian apparitions of the centuries, in this one vision alone Mary appears pregnant! The black sash she wears around her waist reveals this hidden�from�the�world truth.! Looking carefully at the image of Our Lady we can detect something under her folded hands. It is the tied bow of this traditional !Aztec black sash. All of the native women in this region of Mexico would have worn this same black band to signify that they were with child. This simple piece of clothing was meant to set them apart so that no harm would come to them or to the child within them. Our Lady of Guadalupe then was pregnant with the Christ who was about be born anew in the New World of the Americas, a world discovered just forty years previously by Christopher Columbus.!Being born anew�
Today Our Lady of Guadalupe is still pregnant with the Christ who is about to be born anew within each one of us this Christmas. This image of Our Lady reminds us then of those two essential dimensions of his being born anew within us � of our living his call to be his disciple. These two spiritual aspects are intimately related to each other.! The first is that we, as disciples, are called to be as close to Christ as a mother is to her developing child within her. This maternal union is one which truly defies explanation. The mother nourishes the child with her own life. We all have heard that pregnant mothers have to refrain from smoking and drinking, be aware of their environment and their physical exertion. The slightest change can harm her baby. This is the depth of intimacy that Christ desires with each of us � whether we are a priest or a religious, married or single. Each of us is called to be so intimately united to Christ that it also would be a union that defies human explanation. Like any expectant mother we too are careful of the life we live. We realize that our thoughts and actions can harm the new life of Christ who is growing within us. We desire, as Saint Paul does, to “become one in faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, and form that perfect man who is Christ come to full stature” (Eph 4:13). Our Lady of Guadalupe reminds us that Christ is formed within us by the grace of God through every virtue of our life.!Children of Mary� In order to enable us to have this bond with him, Christ reveals the second dimension of our being his true disciples � namely, that we too are meant to be the children of his own mother. Christ’s mother was made to be that “place” where all of his disciples would mature and come to acknowledge her Son as Lord. We would grow within her maternal protection and care just as Christ himself had, and thereby grow closer to him.! Our Lady reminded St. Juan Diego on December 12, 1531:! “Am I not here who am your mother? Am I not your fountain of life?” !She speaks the same words to us today with the same assurance of her love and presence in our lives.! The black sash of Guadalupe is certainly a foreshadowing of the birth of the Catholic faith in the Americas but it is also a sash that the Blessed Virgin continues to wear today as she brings all of Christ’s disciples to maturity in her Son.! That is why Our Lady of Guadalupe remains the perfect feast for the season of Advent. For she foreshadowed not only the new birth of Christ in the New World of 1531, she also foreshadowed our role in being a witness to that New Birth � by our own intimate union with her Son and by our protection under her maternal care.!!
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.!!
