Advent
“O God, my heart desires the warmth of your love, and my mind is searching for the light of your Word. Increase my longing for Jesus. Amen.”  |

Catholic Saints of Advent |

 |
St.
Nicholas (Dec. 6)
O good holy Nicholas, you who brought joy to children, put in my heart the spirit of childhood about which the Gospel speaks. Teach me how to sow happiness around me. Amen. |
 |
St.
Nicholas (Dec. 6)
Let’s not forget the real St. Nicholas, who, like all the saints, points to Jesus. |
 |
Immaculate
Conception (Dec. 8)
O Father, you prepared the Virgin Mary to be the worthy mother of your Son… Help us by her prayers, to live in your presence without sin. Amen. |
 |
St.
Juan Diego (Dec. 9)
Juan Diego stands as a bridge between the worlds of the powerful and the powerless. He was asked to participate in the divine plan, and he said yes. |
 |
Our
Lady of Guadalupe (Dec. 12)
She was the beginning of what we can truly call the New World, where men and women of all backgrounds could live and work in peace. |
 |
Virgen
de Guadalupe (Dec. 12)
Hijito mío, el más pequeño: no te aflijas por nada; ¿acaso no estás en mi regazo? ¿acaso no estoy yo aquí, que soy tu madre? |
