Our condolences to Concepcion Rivero Ladores and family for the passing away of her father.
We pray that the light of God's love warms you and bring you peace .
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when
trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of
prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when
troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her
kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace
to return to our hearts”.--Washington
Irving
St. Michael,
the Archangel - The name Michael signifies "Who is like to God?"
and was the war cry of thegoodangels in the battle fought in Heaven against Satan and his followers. Holy Scripture describes St. Michael as
"one of the chief princes," and leader of the forces of heaven in their triumph over the
powers of hell. He has been especially honored and invoked as patron and
protector by the Church from the time of the Apostles.
Although he is always called "the Archangel," the Greek
Fathers and many others place him over all the angels - as Prince of the Seraphim.
St. Michael is the patron of grocers, mariners, paratroopers, police and
sickness.
I miss this year's town fiesta , the usual grand celebration with
more bands and other activities.
Enjoy the festivities everyone !
