Homily #091211s ( 17min) Play – Fr. Angelo gives the homily for the vigil Mass for the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe which is a Solemnity here at Our Lady of Guadalupe Friary. He relates the story of St. Juan Diego and how Our Lady asks him to give a message to the bishop that she wants a chapel built on Tepiac Hill near the Aztec Capitol. He particulary relates how Our Lady wanted Juan Diego to become willing himself to accept the task. This is especially relavant in that today David Houseal will be entering Novitiate here at Our Lady of Guadalupe friary where he will be preparing to make religious vows that includes Consideration to Our Lady in this Missionary order of the FI. So on this joyous day and throughout the year, please keep David in your prayers as he prepares to be another Juan Diego. Oh, and his new religious name is Fra David Maria of St Joseph and and Bl. Elizabeth of the Holy Trinity or just Fra David for short.

Ave Maria!

After three years of being guardian at Our Lady of Guadalupe Friary in Griswold, CT, USA (which is headquarters for AirMaria) Fr. Ignatius will be leaving for Italy on October 13th to continue his studies for his doctorate in Moral Theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. Fr. Dominic Murphy, who has been transferred from New Bedford, MA where he was guardian, has already assumed the role of guardian at the friary and you can see his first homily on AirMaria here.

We will definitely miss you, Fr. Ignatius, and we will pray for the success of your studies and for every grace from God. Arrivederci!

Ave Maria!
