Our Lady to Juan Diego:
"Let not your heart be disturbed...Am I not here, who am your mother? Are you not under my protection?
St. Juan Diego, pray for us!
"Let us run to Mary and as her little children cast ourselves into her arms with prefect confidence." St. Francis of Sales
Repentance is showing my vulnerability to a vulnerable God. It’s the recognition that I am enormously loved by God, that I have sometimes failed to live up to that love, and that I need his mercy.
“Advent is a journey towards horizon of faith.” (Pope Francis) Let's enjoy this journey together. Let's countdown the days until Christmas renewing our hope in the Lord who is coming!
“How can I repay the Lord for all the great good done for me?” Being GRATEFUL is the best way to answer to God as his children. Let’s be grateful children to our Lord. Let us make a “thanks list”.
Have you checked our Sunday readings?
A fruit of a good discernment of the end of times is HOPE, NO fear!
All Souls Day is a celebration of HOPE. As we pray for our Beloved ones... we are reminded that our homeland is in Heaven.
May the soul of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
(Saints) “found the secret of authentic happiness, which lies deep within the soul and has its source in the love of God. That is why we call the saints blessed.” Pope Francis
Happy All Saints' Day
Assumption of Mary.
Today we celebrate this wonderful feast of Mary. She teaches us through this celebration two things: Trusting Faith and Selfless Service!
May her intercession touches our lives...
"Proclaim: the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand...Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give (Mt.10,7-15)
How my proclamation of the Kingdom is a sign of my trust in the Lord?
Peace!
Welcome to IHM Fr. Ruben.
