FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

December 12

 

"Let not your heart be disturbed. Do not fear that sickness, nor any other sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who am 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."
(Words of Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Die

SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION 

OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

"We declare, pronounce and define that the doctrine which holds that the Blessed Virgin Mary, at first instant of her conception, by a singular privilege and grace of the Omnipotent God, in virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and therefore should firmly and constantly be believed by all the faithful." - Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854
