Monday, December 12th, is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I never get tired of hearing her message to St. Juan Diego. As far as I'm concerned, they're the most beautiful words she has ever spoken in her apparitions. So I want to take this opportunity to share some of them with you once again.

"Hear me and understand well, my little son, that nothing should frighten or grieve you. 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. Do not be afflicted by the illness of your uncle, who will not die now of it. Be assured that he is now cured”.

Climb, my dear son, to the top of the hill; there where you saw me and I gave you orders, you will find different flowers. Cut them, gather them, assemble them, then come and bring them before my presence."
