December 12, 2021: Feast of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe

While this feast was superseded by the Third Sunday of Advent, I offer a few thoughts because of how it stirs me.

The story of La Virgen's appearance to San Juan Diego is marvelous.  Just as God reached out to humanity by being born of Mary, so He has continued to reach out to the world, through Mary, to bring people to a relationship with Him.

So we rejoice that Mary was chosen in a special way, just as we're all chosen and called to be part of His people, and part of His great plan of salvation.
