Our Lady of Guadalupe

Mesoamerica, the New World, 1521: The capital city of the Aztec empire falls under the Spanish forces. Less than 20 years later, 9 million of the inhabitants of the land, who professed for centuries a polytheistic and human sacrificing religion, are converted to Christian-ity. What happened in those times that produced such an incredible and historically unprecedented conver-sion? In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a humble Native American at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of what is now Mexico City. She identified herself as the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth. She made a request for a church to be built on the site, and submitted her wish to the local Bishop. When the Bishop hesitated, and requested her for a sign, the Mother of God obeyed without delay or question to the Church's local Bishop, and sent her native messenger to the top of the hill in mid-December to gather an assortment of roses for the Bishop. After complying to the Bishop's request for a sign, She also left for us an image of herself imprinted miraculously on the native's tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 478 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin. It apparently even reflects in Her eyes what was in front of her in 1531. Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind, as well as the story of the apparitions, are described in the "Nican Mopohua", a 16th century document writ-ten in the native Nahuatl language. There is reason to believe that at Tepeyac Mary came in her glorified body, and her actual physical hands rearranged the roses in Juan Diego’s tilma, which makes this apparition very special. An incredible list of miracles, cures and interventions are at-tributed to Her. Yearly, between 18 - 20 million pilgrims visit the Basilica, making it Christianity's most visited sanctuary. Altogether 25 popes have officially honored Our Lady of Guadalupe. His Holiness John Paul II visited her Sanctuary four times: on his first apostolic trip outside Rome as Pope in 1979, and again in 1990, 1999 and 2002. The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th. In 1999, Pope John Paul II, in his homily from the Solemn Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, during his third visit to the sanctuary, declared the date of December the 12th as a Liturgical Holy Day for the whole continent. During the same visit Pope John Paul II entrusted the cause of life to her loving protection, and placed under her motherly care the innocent lives of children, especially those who are in danger of not being born.

WORDS OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE TO JUAN DIEGO "Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear that sickness, nor any other

sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who is your Mother? Are you not under my protection? Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold?

What else do you wish? Do not grieve nor be disturbed by anything."

PALABRAS DE NUESTRA SEÑORA

A JUAN DIEGO

"No se turbe tu corazón; no temas esa enfermedad, ni nin-guna otra enfermedad o angustia. ¿No estoy yo aquí? ¿No soy

tu Madre? ¿No estás bajo mi sombra? ¿No soy yo tu salud? ¿No estás por ventura en mi regazo? ¿Qué más has de menes-

ter? No te apene ni te inquiete otra cosa".

REASON TO REJOICE Dark violet is used throughout Advent to express its

character as a season of spiritual preparation for Christmas and “the coming of the Lord.” But on the

Third Sunday of Advent, formerly known as Gaudete (Latin for “rejoice”) Sunday, rose may be added to the liturgical environment. The entire liturgy is in-

fused with a spirit of rejoicing.

Today’s first reading and Gospel proclaim the reality of God’s saving work in our midst. Isaiah exuber-

antly describes the idyllic transformation of all crea-tion as a result of God’s presence in the midst of the people. In the Gospel, Jesus connects Isaiah’s proph-ecy with what is happening in his own ministry. In

addition to the list of healings from Isaiah (the blind, the lame, lepers, and the deaf), Jesus’ presence

brings two other reasons for rejoicing: “The dead are raised, and the poor have the

good news proclaimed to them” (Matthew 11:5).

Time, Talent & Treasure Fostering Stewardship as a way of life This week’s Stewardship of Time & Talent Salute

In gratitude of God’s gifts of time and talent to us, we grate-fully acknowledge and salute:

Venonica Bañuelos, Maribel Ontiveros, Dulce Lopez, Caterina Perez & Marie Baumgartner

Who have donated countless hours of hard work, dedication and devotion to the parish. Thank you to our 4th-grade

Catechist

Stewardship Thought for the Week From the perspective of eternity, weeks or years or even centuries mean very little. God always fulfills his promises, but we, whose perspective tends to be much more limited, usually need patience and faith to see them manifested. So it was when the world was wait-ing for its Savior, and so it is now, as we await His re-turn.
