Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity pray with St. Paul Parish, Austin, Texas as we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our Blessed Mother is near us and found everywhere interceding for us. You may want to reflect on images from a previous post for the Diocese of Madison and Diocese of Tucson.

Our Blessed Mother Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, is a comfort and strength to us. As seen in this beautiful image from St. Paul’s Church, Austin, TX, her peaceful presence is one of strength. She stands with us; she teaches us how to pray and wait. We pray for her intercession for those in desperate need, the people of Ukraine, Palestine, Nigeria, the Congo, Syria among others, the immigrants being expelled and their families, those who are hungry and cold along with the sick and suffering. May she teach us how to stand with our brothers and sisters, to give support and strength that they may know that they belong in God’s kingdom.
Nuestra Santísima Madre María, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, nos consuela y nos fortalece. Como se aprecia en esta hermosa imagen de la Iglesia de San Pablo en Austin, Texas, su presencia pacífica nos da fuerza. Ella nos acompaña; nos enseña a orar y a esperar. Oramos por su intercesión por quienes se encuentran en necesidad desesperada: los pueblos de Ucrania, Palestina, Nigeria, el Congo y Siria, entre otros; los inmigrantes expulsados y sus familias; los que pasan hambre y frío, junto con los enfermos y los que sufren. Que ella nos enseñe a acompañar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas, a brindarles apoyo y fortaleza para que sepan que pertenecen al reino de Dios.
