"As Catholic professionals, finding the balance between work, faith, and family during this busy season can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling Christmas. By rooting your celebrations in faith, taking time for rest, prioritizing family connections, and bringing the spirit of Christmas into your work life, you can create a season that reflects the true joy and peace that Jesus brought to the world." https://lnkd.in/gD6d3thf

The first time I saw the authentic image of Our Lady of Lady of Guadalupe, believe it or not, was December of 2020. Maybe I was crazy for doing it, but since everyone was afraid of traveling because of the virus, I saw the perfect opportunity to see her without the crowds (Typically in December the Basilica is at max capacity). And so I did. If you've seen the real image in Mexico City, you know there's a conveyor belt that forces people to keep moving so that everyone gets a chance to see her up close... Well because it was December of 2020, there was almost nobody there! 😊 So I went through the conveyor belt multiple times, round and round, like a little kid. 🏃➡️ What a gift that was! What a gift She has been to me. 🙏

"The growing devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States reflects the changing landscape of Catholicism in the country. As a symbol of faith, love, and hope, she has become a central figure not just for Latino Catholics, but for the broader Catholic community in America." https://lnkd.in/gsAVh33U

"The Advent and Christmas seasons offer a unique opportunity for reflection, celebration, and connecting with family, but they can also bring stress, especially for busy Catholic professionals. Between work deadlines, travel plans, and attending numerous family and church events, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. With a bit of planning and intentional prayer, you can travel smart during this holy season, ensuring that you maintain peace, joy, and spiritual focus while navigating the season’s hustle and bustle." https://lnkd.in/gqYTcucu

Day 8 O Lady of Guadalupe, with my heart full of the most sincere veneration, I prostrate myself before you, O Mother, to ask you to obtain for me the grace to fulfill the duties of my state in life with faithfulness and constancy.   O Mother, strengthen the faith of our brothers and sisters in the laity, so that in every field of social, professional, cultural and political life they may act in accordance with the truth and the law brought by your Son to mankind.   I also ask for this special favor.... (Mention your request)   Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory Be....   Memorare of Our Lady of Guadalupe Remember, O most gracious Virgin of Guadalupe, that in your heavenly apparitions on the mount of Tepeyac, you promised to show your compassion and pity towards all who, loving and trusting you, seek your help and call upon you in their necessities and afflictions. You promised to hear our supplications, to dry our tears, and to give us consolation and relief.   Never has it been known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly to you, O Mary, ever-Virgin Mother of the true God! Though grieving under the weight of our sins, we come to prostrate ourselves before you. We fully trust that, standing beneath your shadow and protection, nothing will trouble or afflict us, nor do we need to fear illness or misfortune, or any other sorrow.   O Virgin of Guadalupe, you want to remain with us through your admirable Image, you who are our Mother, our health, and our life. Placing ourselves beneath your maternal gaze, and having recourse to you in all our necessities, we need do nothing more.   O Holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer us. Amen
