Family Advent Night at San Jose
A catechetical project in San Jose featuring Prisarts' Virgin Guadalupe by Sherry Scott
Advent Family Night 2012
Guide for parents in talking to their
children about the infancy narratives of the Gospel of Luke.
Parent: We are going to
decorate this picture of Mary.
Parent: As we decorate it, we
will learn about her.
Parent: What do you notice in
this picture of Mary?
(possible answers: her halo,
her complexion, blue veil, her folded hands, the stars in the sky, the artists
name along her sleeve…)
This is an artist’s painting of the Virgin of
Guadalupe. The original looks like this:
What looks the same? What
looks different? (there are all sorts of responses here)
We are going to add flowers,
jewels, stars, sequins and paint to our pictures to decorate them and to enter
into the mystery of this sacred image of Mary. Mary was a person, just like you
and me.
Her veil is blue representing
the sky and also purity and goodness.
Her halo means that she is a
saint, One of God’s special friends, She is a daughter of Israel: a Jewish
woman who practiced her faith. Through her, the savior promised to the people
of Israel came to be. That is why Jesus is called Messiah.
She was a young woman when
the angel Gabriel came to her to announce God’s plan that she would be the
mother of Jesus. The angel said, “Hail,
favored one, the Lord is with you” Do
you recognize these words? This is the first line to the “Hail Mary.”
At first Mary questioned the
angel, she did not understand how she could be the mother of God. But, she
trusted God and said “yes” (Actually, she said,” “May it be done to me according to your word”) This is called Mary’s Fiat, (fiat in Latin
means: Let it be done)
Her trust in God, even though
she did not know exactly how everything would turn out, is an example to all of
us to be willing to say “Yes” to God’s plan for us.
Mary went to visit her cousin
Elizabeth, who was also going to have a baby. This baby is John the Baptist.
Elizabeth greeted her cousin, Mary with these words, “Blessed are you among
women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” This is the second line to the
“Hail Mary”.
The flowers we add to the
picture represent the honor that we give to Mary by bringing flowers to church,
especially on her feast days and in the month of May.
The stars represent our
belief that she is Queen of Heaven. That is her reward for giving birth to
Jesus and teaching him and raising him. Our mothers and our fathers have such a
great impact on who we grow up to be, so we honor Mary for her role as Jesus’
parent. And we also hope to share heaven with her one day.
Parent: how do you want to decorate the image to show
honor and thanks to Mary for her part in giving us Jesus?
(decorate and talk about why
you are adding each embellishment to the picture, make it your expression of
faith.)
As we wait in hope for Jesus
to come into our hearts this Christmas, we can think of Mary, who was also
waiting for Jesus to be born long ago. She was faithful and willing to answer
God’s call for her. We can ask her to pray for us and she will take our prayers
and needs to Jesus.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for ……. Amen.
(we can pray for “us sinners”,
or we can pray for something specific.)
Did you know that the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary are all
about Jesus’ birth and childhood. These mysteries are perfect for praying during
the season of Advent, as we prepare ourselves for Jesus’s birth. We can enter
into the mystery of the Incarnation and ponder how very wonderful it is that
God loves us so much that he would become one of us and befriend us.
Family prayer at home: pray
one decade of the rosary each night before bed, pondering on one of the Joyful
Mysteries.

Pristine Blooms in Needlepoint
This photo was shared by a needlepoint enthusiast after completing her work.
This lady loves to use different kinds of stitches—not just the plain half tent or continental stitch people normally associate with needlepoint. If you look carefully you can see the various types of stitches that she uses in the background, in the tablecloth and flowers. She has even used different kinds of threads in the flowers!

Our Lady of Guadalupe Mexican Original Painting
Our Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe), also the Virgin of Guadalupe (Virgen de Guadalupe) is a Roman Catholic icon of the Virgin Mary. The tradition relates that in the 16th century, on 9 December 1531, Juan Diego, a recently-converted Aztec (indigenous) peasant, had a vision of a young woman, a lady, while on a hill in the Tepeyac desert, near Mexico City. The lady in the vision asked him to build a church where they stood on the hill. Juan Diego told the local Bishop, Juan de Zumárraga, of the apparition; doubtful, he asked for proof. Juan Diego later returned to the Tepeyac desert hill; again, the lady appeared to Juan Diego, who told her of the bishop’s request for proof of her apparition. The lady then instructed Juan Diego to go to the hill top, where he found Castillian roses — native to Durango, the bishop’s Spanish home town — and which did not bloom in winter. Juan Diego cut the roses, placed them in the apron of his tilma cloak, and delivered them to the bishop; an imprint of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on the tilma, formed by the soil and the Castillian roses.
