Wednesday December 12, 2018

Calendar -: Second Week of Advent Year C

Colour of Vestment: Purple

Celebration-: OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

FIRST READING   

Theme of reading-:  The Lord is strong in power and gives power to the faint.

A reading from the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 40:25-31)

To whom will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord and my right is disregarded by my God”? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

The word of the Lord

Nor repay us according to our faults. R.

At that time: Jesus said, “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

The Gospel of the Lord.


Brief Story on the devotion of "OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE"

Devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe has reached various parts of the world. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a convert, Juan Diego (see December 9), who had a church built at Guadalupe in her honour. In this place Mary showed herself as a tender and compassionate Mother, reaching out to the poor and calling them to faith in Jesus Christ. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Patroness of the Americas.
