Fr Jordi and Fr Ron concelebrated the Midnight Mass on the Vigil of the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Deacon Edgar was also at the altar. All the MOC and Daniel went, but we had no assigned seats in the Basilica, so we thought we would have to stand outside for the Mass. To our surprise, through a connection Edgar made with a priest of the Basilica, we ended up sitting almost in front of the altar. This was another gift from our Blessed Mother to our LC community!

—My beloved, I have brought you before me to receive the fullness of the blessing God desires to give you, faithful spouse of my Son Jesus Christ, and my family of LC. Receive my tears of joy; joy for your fiat united to mine; joy for your faithfulness to live united as One Body to the Holy Sacrifice of my Son. Receive the crown of glory reserved for the martyrs of Christ’s love. Do not be afraid during the time of the great trial that must come upon the world, for I am with you. You have followed me to the altar of sacrifice. It is here in the perfect sacrifice of the Mass that I am forming you as God’s holy warriors of love to fight the final battle. Remain with me in the perfect Sacrifice of my Son, and you will receive the crown of glory. I bless you, my little one, with the kiss of Abba as He seals your heart with the mission given to you for the glory of God and the salvation of many souls.
