An Our Lady of Guadalupe Festa!

Last night I shared our Celebration in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe over at Shower of Roses.  I thought I would add it here as well, so you can all see this year's variations on our past Tea in Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe.   Also, here is a link to the beautiful Mananitas Recording from the Sister Servants! I'll be back later to post this year's Santa Lucia Day link-up.  Be sure to take pictures to share!

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe!  

We have dear friends visiting from out of state for the rest of the week, but I wanted to hop online and share a few pictures from this year's celebration in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe!   In addition to reading the two books pictured above, we enjoyed another Tea in Honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  The kids helped set up everything while we anxiously awaited their arrival this afternoon!

Prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe

Our Lady of Guadalupe, mystical rose, intercede for the Church, protect the Holy Father, help all who invoke you in their necessities. Since you are the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from your most holy Son the Grace of a firm faith and sure hope amid the bitterness of life, as well as an ardent love and the precious gift of final perseverance. Amen.
