Christmas Movies

I enjoy watching Christmas Movies. 

I am currently watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. 

In this movie, I really like when Charlie Brown screams "does anyone know what Christmas is about?"

Then, Linus tells Charlie Brown that Christmas is all about Jesus Christ and celebrating his birth.
(Luke 2:9-11)

Here are some of my favorite Christmas movies: 

{Elf}

{The Santa Clause}

{Jack Frost (1979)}

{The Grinch}

What are your favorite Christmas movies?

Music Monday

Hello, Bloggers! 

Here is a song by City and Colour called The Girl.  

I enjoy this song and hope you all like it. 

Happy Monday! 

On the 12th Day of Christmas

Just recently, we found out that the Twelve Days of Christmas has a Catholic background.  It was originally created in England to help young Catholics learn their faith. In the time that it was created, Catholics could not have anything in writing about the faith or they would have been killed. The song helped them remember significant aspects of the Catholic faith.

Hello All! 

Happy Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe!

Image found online.

O Immaculate Virgin, Mother of the true God and Mother of the Church!, who from this place reveal your clemency and your pity to all those who ask for your protection, hear the prayer that we address to you with filial trust, and present it to your Son Jesus, our sole Redeemer.
Mother of Mercy, Teacher of hidden and silent sacrifice, to you, who come to meet us sinners, we dedicate on this day all our being and all our love. We also dedicate to you our life, our work, our joys, our infirmities and our sorrows. Grant peace, justice and prosperity to our peoples; for we entrust to your care all that we have and all that we are, our Lady and Mother. We wish to be entirely yours and to walk with you along the way of complete faithfulness to Jesus Christ in His Church; hold us always with your loving hand.
Virgin of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas, we pray to you for all the Bishops, that they may lead the faithful along paths of intense Christian life, of love and humble service of God and souls. Contemplate this immense harvest, and intercede with the Lord that He may instill a hunger for holiness in the whole people of God, and grant abundant vocations of priests and religious, strong in the faith and zealous dispensers of God’s mysteries.
Grant to our homes the grace of loving and respecting life in its beginnings, with the same love with which you conceived in your womb the life of the Son of God. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect our families, so that they may always be united, and bless the upbringing of our children.
Our hope, look upon us with compassion, teach us to go continually to Jesus and, if we fall, help us to rise again, to return to Him, by means of the confession of our faults and sins in the Sacrament of Penance, which gives peace to the soul.
We beg you to grant us a great love for all the holy Sacraments, which are, as it were, the signs that your Son left us on earth.
Thus, Most Holy Mother, with the peace of God in our conscience, with our hearts free from evil and hatred, we will be able to bring to all true joy and true peace, which come to us from your son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.

- Prayer from Blessed Pope Paul II
