Dear Friend,

Earlier this week, Our Shepherd, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke offered the December 1 Operation Storm Heaven for all the intentions that were submitted, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Here are some highlights of His Eminence’s homily:

“In Advent, we contemplate the mystery of the redemptive incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and strive to grow in our relationship with Him, our knowledge and love of Him, in His living presence with us in the Church through the sacraments and through our life of prayer and devotions, and in a particular way, through the praying of the Holy Rosary, meditating on the mysteries of our salvation.”

Speaking on the great solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Cardinal Burke stated:

“God prepared her from all time to be the Mother of the Redeemer, to conceive in her womb God the Son through the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit for our redemption. This is a time to grow very strongly in our love of our Blessed Mother and through her, to draw nearer to Our Lord.”

Regarding the Dec. 10 Centennial of the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, together with the Infant Jesus to the Venerable Servant of God, Lucia dos Santos, one of the three seers of Fatima:

“The revelation, the apparition in which Our Lady insisted yet again on the importance of the First Saturdays Devotion in reparation for the salvation of souls and for the glory of God. This Centennial is an occasion for us to be renewed in our practice of the First Saturdays and also to spread that devotion as Our Lady has desired throughout the universal Church. We should be sorry for the sins which offend the love of God which do not return. Love for His immeasurable and unceasing love for us. And for we are inspired out of love to make reparation by regular confession of our sins on the first Saturday, especially by worthy reception of Holy Communion and meditating in the company of Our Lady upon all the mysteries of our redemption. This way, we not only make reparation for our sins, but in doing so, we grow in love with God. We draw closer to the mystery of His presence with us. And so, let us dedicate ourselves on these days to living in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ.”
