We remember that we are called to help know they can be Raised in Christ. Through the generosity of 213 of our families we have raised $37,633. Remember if we don’t make our goal, our parish pays the difference. So in contributing to the CMA you are both helping our diocese in its ministry and helping our parish. Please pray about what you might be able to contribute. Be sure and get your contribution in before December 31 st if you want it recorded in 2016. You can find out more about the CMA on our parish website under “Financial Giving” at http://stmichaelsnewark.org/financial-giving/cma-appeal/.

Prayer Network: Our calling list for the Prayer Network now has only 2 people on it. Our e-mail list has more. If you would like to join either list of those who pray for the sick, please let Pat know. Call the Parish Center 331-6753 or e -mail [email protected]. For the phone list, we will need a working phone number, preferably with the ability to leave a message if no one is there, or our e-mail list - just your current email address. Any questions, contact Pat.

Hace muchos años cuando yo estaba vivendo en Chile quería saber más de la Virgen de Guadalupe y por eso leí Nican Mopohua. No habían guadalupanos en Chile. ¡Qué sorpresa tenía cuando vine a Geneva y Penn Yan y descubrí que muchos de ustedes son verdaderos guadalupanos! Aún están dispuestos de levantarse temprano el 12 por las mañanitas a María. Nican Mopohua es el documento histórico en el que se relata las Apariciones de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe al San Juan Diego, indígena azteca, ocurridas del 9 al 12 de diciembre de 1531. Este relato es la principal fuente de lo que sabemos sobre el mensaje de la SantísimaVirgen a San Juan Diego, a México y al Mundo. El autor del documento: Don Antonio Valeriano (1520-1605) recibió la historia por el mismo Juan Diego, quien murió en 1548. El libro narra la evangelización de una cultura donde la ayuda de Dios y de la Virgen fue evidente. Por medio de un estilo correcto, digno y sólido uno se da cuenta que esta evangelización llegó hasta la más profunda raíz de la cultura pre-hispánica, llevándose a realizar la de dos pueblos irreconciliables. Aparece María Santísima con la apariencia de una indígena, y estando en cinta ella es portadora de Cristo; ella pide que se construya un templo en una cima de Tepeyac, diciendo que es “para que yo pueda mostrar y conceder todo mi amor, mi compasión, ayuda y defensa, porque yo soy tu madre amorosa, a ti y a todos los que están contigo. Escucharé sus lamentos y remediaré sus miserias, dolores y sufrimientos…” María animó a Juan Diego ir al obispo para pedir la construcción. Juan Diego, teniendo la conviccion de fe, dejó su timidez para conseguir la ayuda de la Iglesia. Muchos de los mejicanos en el pasado y hoy se identifican con la Guadalupana porque ella tenía la misma semblanza que ellos. Muchos de ustedes ven en ella sus esperanzas, sufrimientos y aspiraciones. Después de estas apariciones la vida nueva de Cristianismo vino a los mejicanos por medio de María y no por los españoles. La flor de su tunica es símbolo de nueva vida y esperanza. María está lista para dar luz a Cristo y Cristo a nosotros. ¿Ustedes están listos a recibir a Cristo y la mision de él? Hermana Kay
