_______

Mothers can look through a child's eyes and see tomorrow. Mothers deserve the credit for raising value-based leaders who accept responsibility; who possess physical, mental, and spiritual strength; who possess courage and confidence; and who look with optimism to the future. Great mothers help their children to recognize that they can achieve the impossible. Great mothers bring the arms of comfort to an insecure child in a world of uncertainty.

Lighting Hearts on Fire
Diocesan Marian Consecration Preparation Year

Our Lady of Guadalupe

This past December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Bishop James F. Checchio launched a year of spiritual preparation for the consecration of the Diocese of Metuchen to Our Lady of Guadalupe with Evening Prayer. The purpose of this consecration is to invoke Our Lady of Guadalupe’s (the Patroness of the Americas) aid for our diocese, so that we can be spiritually renewed and equipped to live out our call to evangelize more faithfully. For more information, please visit: lightingheartsonfire.org.

In keeping with Bishop Checchio’s consecration of our diocese to Our Lady of Guadalupe, you will notice sign-up sheets in the back of the church for families to pray together and prepare for the consecration by hosting a “travelling kit” (containing an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe) in their homes for one week (Sunday through Saturday). Let us pray for the spiritual renewal of our diocese!
