First Day of the Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe: Compassionate Mother
Through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Compassionate Mother, we ask that the peace of Christ may reign in every heart, in every home, and in every country, so as to reconcile all men to God and among themselves.
A New Novena
When St. Juan Diego stepped foot out of his rustic little home on December 9th, 1531, he was intent on going about his regular Saturday routine.
The Scratches of Life
When Blessed Miguel Agustin Pro was a boy he liked to make outdoor excursions. Many times he would drag his sisters along for the fun, telling them that it would do them all some good to “get out and see more of the sky”.
Ask, Act, and Trust
He is the “Universal Doctor”. His knowledge in the field of sciences, philosophy, and theology was vast. But St. Albert the Great’s wisdom did not come from his genius alone. St. Albert had help in reaching the heights of wisdom: Mary, Seat of Wisdom.
The Marian Threshold
There were three early thresholds that Karol Wojtyla crossed in becoming a slave of love for Jesus in Mary: his family home, the parish church of Wadowice, and the Shrine of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska.
Small Town Lessons
Karol Wojtyla’s devotion to Mary was first planted in his family home. His mother’s and father’s influence was briefly touched on in our last post. In this new post, we want to consider the second seedbed of Marian devotion: his local parish and the surrounding Catholic community.
Devotion Begins at Home
In 1994, Time Magazine honored John Paul II, by calling him the “Man of the Year”. Thirty years later, we could also call him the “Man of the Century”. Among the many things that made this man “great” was his great love for Mary. His example of being a slave of love for Mary can help us “marianize” our lives as well.
