Troparion
When you appeared in the New World, O Theotokos, you fixed your image on Juan Diego’s rose laden tilma. All the poor, hungry, and oppressed seek you, Lady of Guadalupe. We gaze upon your miraculous icon and find hope, crying out to your Son concealed in your womb: Hear our plea for justice, O most merciful Lord.
Kontakion
No longer shall the New World lie wounded in useless blood-sacrifice, for she who is clothed with the sun has revealed the Son to us. O Mother of the Americas, imprint his name upon our hearts, just as you wove your image into the cactus cloth. Teach your children to cry out: O Christ God, our hope,
glory to you!
A Christmas tree has been set up in the church to receive gifts for children in need. If you would like to contribute, please bring new, packaged but unwrapped toys for children of any age to place under

“Get up and go your way. Your faith has healed you!” The faith of the healed Samaritan leper who returned to thank Jesus is a model of thanksgiving and love for God. Our Lord works through the faith of those who love him and serve His body, the Church. Is a life of service and faithfulness to God and His Church as a priest, deacon, monk or nun something that may be for you or someone you
know? Contact the Vocations Office at 206-329-9219 or email: vocations@ephx.org
