Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

post comment Posted by – December 29th, 2013

Christmas South FloridaHere’s a Merry Christmas to you. My family, minus one daughter who is near term for her first baby, posed after Christmas Mass at St. Gregory Church in Plantation, FL. We had hope to get their beautiful nativity scene in the photo but that didn’t work.

Hopefully you are enjoying the end of the year with family and friends. It should be a great time to relax and thank God for our blessings as we get ready to embark on another year. Too many people get all uptight though.

Please remember that January 1 is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, and a holy day of obligation.

Pray For Us Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of GuadalupeYears ago I went on a business trip to South/Central America with the agreement that when we were in Mexico City I got time out to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. On her feast day today I pulled out the photos from my trip there (pre-digital) to relive the great memories.

I had a very kind cab driver not only take me to the Basilica but he attended Mass with me, got me into the museum and up the hill to the old chapel. I’ll never forget it. She is the Patroness of the Americas and of my heart.

Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Mystical Rose,
make intercession for holy Church,
protect the sovereign Pontiff,
help all those who invoke you in their necessities,
and since you are the ever Virgin Mary
and Mother of the true God,
obtain for us from your most holy Son
the grace of keeping our faith,
of sweet hope in the midst of the bitterness of life
of burning charity, and the precious gift
of final perseverance.

Amen.
