The Epiphany: Wisemen Bring Gifts to the Child

St. Francis and St. Aloysius bring people with AIDS
to Our Lady of Guadalupe and El Santo Niño de Atocha

Dearest Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe,
Mother of the poor and the oppressed,
we watch full of reverence
and joy as St. Francis and
St. Aloysius bring the gifts of
these two people afflicted with AIDS
to the Holy Child in your arms,
who is so eager to receive them.
Teach us to find and embrace
your Son Jesus in all peoples,
but most especially those who
are in greatest need and
who suffer most.

Amen

Franciscan Province of the Immaculate Conception, New York, NY
