Thank you so much Lord for another year of my life. Thank you Lord for all the blessings last year. Thank you Lord for everything and I am looking forward for this year of 2013.
What did I do today? I watched the store and we closed minutes before 12 am of 2013. I was also talking to my hubby on skype while watching the store. I went to my room at 12 am and talked to hubby and we prayed together. Praying that this year we will receive the total healing of my hubby. Lord, have mercy on us and give my hubby another chance. Thank You Lord. Thank you for all the blessings you have in store for us this year. I love you Lord.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Saturday, December 8th, The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son,
and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called
the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the
throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house
of Jacob forever and of his Kingdom there will be no end.” (Luke 1:30-33)
Mary, in the novena of Our Lady Of Perpetual Help, is described not “only as the mother of the Redeemer, but as the mother of the redeemed as well.”
The Angel Gabriel’s pronouncement to Mary reveals the Messiah in the fullness of what was promised by God to all of us. To be honest, I don’t think this fourteen-year-old woman could conceive that she would be the one whose child fulfills the hope of all, thus making her the Mother of the Human Race.
No wonder God created such a perfect human being. If Mary is going to be responsible for so many, it’s no wonder that God holds her in such esteem. As a child, I turned to my mother first to help me to grow, to heal and to learn how to love. Spiritually, turning to Mary for so many different things in prayer and devotion only leads me to this perfect heart that gave me so much.
If we understand how much her heart must love, then maybe we can understand Christ’s love from the cross when he says: “son behold your mother, mother behold your son.” (John 19: 26-27)
