"Peace... paz at Christmas"

December/diciembre 2023

​

On this month's December cover of Latino Lubbock Magazine features a dove symbolizing peace. The message of John 16:33 is about the peace and the victory Christ gives His followers who rely on Him when faced with tribulation, and war. Jesus assured us peace and victory in times of tribulations. As always, I include the Virgen de Guadalupe as we observe her special day of obligation on December 12th. I love Christmas and Las Posadas although the holidays have been tougher this year since the loss of my mother.  I'm grateful to her and others who have helped us preserve our traditions. Gracias a aquellos que se esfuerzan por mantener la cultura y llevar sonrisas a las familias de nuestra comunidad. 
This month's December Latino Lubbock Magazine's offers Hispanic Christmas insight, showcases St. Joseph's Church Centennial celebration, provides insight about Dia de la Virgen, as well as community info, business info, memorials, info for youth, and so much more - you don't want to miss it! 

Continued blessings to you and your family! ¡Bendiciones continuas para usted y su familia!
 

And again, Merry Christmas y Feliz Navidad!
