Second Week of Advent ~ Hope
The second week of Advent has to do with hope. We are still waiting for and preparing for Jesus’ coming
and hoping to make Jesus a part our lives, not just at Christmas but all year long. We can prepare ourselves for Jesus through prayer and turning ourselves to faith ,hope and kindness. Prayer opens our hearts
to let God in and lets out our hate and fear. Prayer is like a window through which the light of God shines
through. Let us this week continue in hope and prayer to keep this window open.
Remember to keep track of your good works by marking your passports and pung a straw in the
crèche for Baby Jesus.

Immaculate Conception Two important liturgical celebrations in honor of the Blessed Virgin
Mary fittingly occur during the Season of Advent. They are the Solemnity of the Immaculate
Conception on December 8th, a holy day of obligation, and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe
on December 12th. The two celebrations are closely related to each other, for Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared for the first time to Saint Juan Diego on December 9, 1531, which, at that time
in the Spanish Empire, was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
In appearing to Saint Juan Diego, she identified herself as “the Perfect Ever Virgin Holy Mary,
Mother of the Most True God” (Nican Mopohua, n. 26).By the Immaculate Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, God the Father prepared Mary to be the Mother of His only-begotten Son
Whom He was sending into the world as our Savior. Mary, daughter of Joachim and Ann, was
preserved, from her first moment of life, from all stain of Original Sin. Her womb was the allpure vessel in which the conception of God the Son could take place through the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. This is the meaning of the words of Our Lady of Guadalupe who identified
herself as the “Perfect Ever Virgin Holy Mother.”
Mother of America
Let us entrust our continent to the prayers of Our Lady of Guadalupe, so that the faith
may be brought to all and the inviolable dignity of the life of each brother and sister may
be fully respected.

Catholic faith.
