ORACION DE CONSAGRACION

a la VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE

Santísima Virgen María de Guadalupe, Madre del verdadero Dios por quien se vive. En estos

momentos, como Juan Diego, sintiéndonos “pequeños” y frágiles ante la enfermedad y el

dolor, te elevamos nuestra oración y nos consagramos a ti.

Te consagramos nuestros pueblos, especialmente a tus hijos más vulnerables: los

ancianos, los niños, los enfermos, los indígenas, los migrantes, los que no tienen

hogar, los privados de su libertad. Acudimos a tu inmaculado Corazón e imploramos tu

intercesión: alcánzanos de tu Hijo la salud y la esperanza.

Que nuestro temor se transforme en alegría; que en medio de la tormenta tu Hijo Jesús sea

para nosotros fortaleza y serenidad; que nuestro Señor levante su mano poderosa y

detenga el avance de esta pandemia.

Santísima Virgen María, “Madre de Dios y

Madre de América Latina y del Caribe, Estrella de la evangelización renovada, primera discípula y gran misionera de nuestros

pueblos”, sé fortaleza de los moribundos y consuelo de quienes los lloran; sé caricia maternal que conforta a los enfermos; sé

compañía de los profesionales de la salud que los cuidan; y para todos nosotros, Madre, sé presencia y ternura en cuyos brazos todos

encontremos seguridad.

De tu mano, permanezcamos firmes e inconmovibles en Jesús, tu Hijo, que vive y

reina por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

Annunciata Church has the sacramental books for St. Kevin, St. George and St. Francis de Sales. If you need to request a copy for any sacrament,

please call the rectory donation for copy is $10.00

IMPORTANTE

A Prayer For “Renew My Church” Lord Jesus, you speak to us today, as you spoke to holy

men and women who have gone before us. In every age and in our own time, you call to us and

say: Renew My Church. Pour out the gift of your Holy Spirit upon us, and so

enable us to hear you clearly

to listen to each other attentively to imagine our future boldly to discern your direction

wisely to persevere in your holy will courageously to stay together in charity to surrender our own plans

readily to embrace the greater good to hand on your gifts to future generations.

May we remain in the holy company of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the apostles,

and all the saints. May their example and presence inspire us with patient

confidence in the work of your grace. We ask this of you who live and reign

with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen

Una Oración para Renueva mi Iglesia

Señor Jesús, nos hablas el día de hoy, igual que les

hablaste a hombres y mujeres santos que nos precedieron. En cada época y en nuestro propio tiempo,

nos llamas y nos dices: Renueva mi Iglesia.

Derrama sobre nosotros el don de tu Espíritu Santo, y de ese modo permítenos escucharte claramente

escucharnos unos a otros con atención imaginar nuestro futuro con audacia

discernir tus indicaciones sabiamente perseverar en tu santa voluntad con valor permanecer

juntos en la caridad entregar sin reparos nuestros propios planes adoptar

el bien común transmitir tus dones a las generaciones futuras.

Permítenos permanecer en la compañía santa de la Virgen María, los apóstoles y todos los santos.

Que su ejemplo y su presencia nos inspiren confianza paciente en la obra de tu gracia.

Te lo pedimos a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios,

por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

Thankful Fifth Grade This Thanksgiving, our fifth graders had a lot to be thankful for…even during these unprecedented times. In an assignment called “Thankful Kid”, the students shared whom and what they were thankful for this year, including things such animals, books, foods, places and activities. Besides being thankful for family members, many were thankful for God and Jesus. They also wrote down three ways to show they’re thankful by doing nice things for others like sharing, house cleaning and helping the lonely and the poor.
