DECEMBER 12 2024 - Feast Day
𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒖𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒑𝒆

This very day, December 12, 2024. We celebrated the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This Catholic title was given to Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. In Mexico, in 1531, on the hill of Tepeyac, she made her first appearance. She was so luminous and ethereal that time. Juan Diego, an indigenous peasant, saw her. In order for her to show and share her love and compassion with all those who believe in herself. She asked Juan to build a sanctuaryon that very same spot.

Our Lady of Guadalupe enlightens us that we are bound to make choices that lead the world and ourselves to reject us. Despite our imperfections, she preached to us that God will accept and love us no matter what we have done in our lives. For everyone of us, she herself is an epitome of identity and religion.

You are a tremendous role model for all of us, our dear Virgin of Guadalupe, in a world full of chaos. Assist us in conveying compassion and love to one another. Guide us in the directions that will keep us from getting lost. Help us to be obedient to the Lord, our God.

DECEMBER 10 2024 - Feast Day
𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒐

Our Lady of Loreto, patroness of aviators, pilots, airmen and flight attendants. In 2019, Pope Francis added this feast to the universal Roman Calendar and it is celebrated each year in churches around the world.

The Basilica della Santa Casa or ‘The Basilica of the Holy House’ was built around the home and is now a shrine where pilgrims visit, the ministry of the shrine is the hospitality shown to pilgrims especially through the sacrament of penance. The image of Our Lady of Loreto started with a cedarwood statue of the Madonna and Child which was placed in the home in 1310, the statue became blackened by lamp smoke, turning it into the famous Our Lady of Loreto statue.

According to tradition, the home in which the Virgin Mary was born was miraculously moved by angels around December 10, 1294 from its original site to its present site in Loreto after a miraculous rescue from the Holy Land as the Crusaders were driven out of Palestine at the end of the 13th century. It was said that the angels moved the house into 3 stages: the angels flew to the house to Tersato, Dalmatia. Which then flew to Recanati, Italy; then arrived at Loreto in 1924 and has stayed there ever since. Because of the legend of the angelic flying house, Our Lady of Loreto is patron of airplane pilots and attendants, and of those serving in the Air Force.

“I am a nobody, I am a small rope, a tiny ladder, the tail end, a leaf”

- St. Juan Diego

Born in 1474 in Cuautitlán, Juan Diego was a lowly peasant who eventually became famous worldwide by the name he was given at his rebirth through baptism. His name was Cuauhtlatoatzin, which translates to "the talking eagle."

Tradition has it that in December 1531, the Virgin Mary (Our Lady of Guadalupe) paid him four visits. He was an Indigenous Mexican convert to Roman Catholicism. All Indigenous peoples in the Americas are patronized by him, who was the first indigenous individual to be declared a saint. On December 9th, Saint Juan Diego's feast day is observed to honor the day he first saw the Virgin Mary. Allow me to enlighten you why, however, Saint Juan Diego became the first indigenous saint.

On December 9, 1531, Juan Diego had his first encounter with Mary. He was on his way to mass when a woman who was bathed in divine light stopped by him on Tepeyac Hill, which is outside of present-day Mexico City. Speaking to him in his mother tongue, she requested that he inform the local bishop to construct a shrine in her honor on the hill. Juan Diego exited the conference in dismay as the bishop hesitantly acted on this request.

When he saw Mary again, she instructed him to go back to the bishop, even though Juan Diego insisted that she send someone who was more respected by the church. On December 10, however, Juan Diego had another meeting with the bishop, who requested evidence that Mary had shown up for him. Juan Diego told Mary about the bishop's response when he had his third apparition that same day.

Mary paid Juan Diego a fourth visit on December 12 as he was looking for a priest to perform the sacrament of last rites for his uncle (Juan Bernardino). This time, she gave him the order to collect roses and present them to the bishop as a symbol. Moreover, she assured Juan Diego that his uncle will get better. The hill was covered in roses, despite the fact that it was winter, according to Juan Diego. Moreover, the roses he discovered were indigenous to the bishop's native Castile, a part of Spain. As Juan Diego appeared before the bishop, he opened his tilma (cloak), revealing a picture of Mary engraved on the inside, along with dozens of roses outside. After the bishop was convinced by this miracle, he commanded that a church dedicated to the Virgin be constructed atop Tepeyac Hill. When Juan Diego got home, his uncle was feeling better.

Juan Diego spent the remainder of his life caring for pilgrims who visited the shrine while residing in a hut near to the church dedicated in Mary's honor. His tilma is still visible in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, where he was buried.

Today, December 8, we honor the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a celebration that signifies Mary’s purity and grace. To showcase the Josephians' devotion to Mary, the grade 12 students from 12-ICT have prepared a documentary that reflects our deep admiration for the Blessed Virgin Mary and her role of motherly affection.

Join us as we journey through the rich history and spiritual significance of Mary, Our Mother, specifically Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.

Special thanks to the Christian Living Education Department of St. Joseph School, Mr. Joey Calagui, and the Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel for making this documentary possible!

May this video serve as an inspiration of Mary's humility, obedience, and faith.

Josephians, let us honor the Blessed Mother with hearts full of gratitude and joy! 🫶🏻🙌🏻
