Recognition

Today is a celebration of recognition.

On today’s feast of our Lady of Guadalupe, we celebrate (among other things) how Saint Juan Diego recognized that the Blessed Virgin Mary was a woman not unlike his own people.

In one of the Gospels provided for today’s feast (Luke 1:39-47), Saint Elizabeth and even the unborn Saint John the Baptist recognize that, still in his mother’s womb, the Son of God is in their midst.

May you and I recognize the presence and the path of God in our lives, by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
