I SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Liturgical Greeting
AND The Lord Jesus, who comes to save us, be with you
all.
Introduction to the Celebration
h
The celebrant makes the following introductory statement
brothers: At the beginning of the new liturgical year we are
going to bless this crown with which we also inaugurate the
season of Advent. Its lights remind us that Jesus Christ is the
light of the world. Its green color means life and hope. The Advent
wreath is, therefore, a symbol that light and life will triumph over
darkness and death, because the Son of God has become man and
given us true life. By lighting, week after week, the candles in the
crown, we want to signify our gradual preparation to receive the light
of Christmas.
LET'S PRAY
l
To the earth, Lord, rejoice in these days, and your Church
overflows with joy before your Son, the Lord, who appears as a
splendid light, to illuminate those of us who lie in the darkness of
ignorance, pain and sin.
Full of hope in his coming, your people have prepared this wreath
with branches from the forest and have decorated it with lights.
Now, then, that we are going to begin the time of preparation for the
coming of your Son, we ask you, Lord, that, as the splendor of this
crown increases each day, with new lights, you will enlighten us
with the splendor of him who, because he is the light of the world,
will illuminate all darkness.
He who lives and reigns forever and ever.
R/. Amen.
The priest sprinkles it with holy water and, if appropriate, incense.

Today, in the heart of Advent, as a Church that is pilgrim in
Mexico, united with all the churches of our Continent, we
celebrate the Solemnity of
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Americas and Star of the
New Evangelization.
She brought us her Son and showed him to us with all her love,
understanding, help and defense.
On our Advent journey towards the encounter with Christ, She
accompanies us and prepares us to receive the Father's beloved Son
and for Him to be—with full truth—in our lives, the “God with us.”
Let us participate with joy in this Eucharist invoking upon ourselves
and upon our Country the intercession of the " Mother of the true
God for whom we live ."

Blessing of Roses (or Other Flowers)
During the procession of offerings, the roses (or other flowers), which are a symbol of the Guadalupe event , are
brought to the presbytery and placed in a convenient place.

flowers) are solemnly blessed.
MONITION
T
The celebrant himself or the leader of the assembly introduces the rite with the following instruction.
Traditionally, on December 12th, flowers have been blessed
in the Insigne y Nacional Basilica of Santa María de
Guadalupe , especially roses, in
memory of the message that the Lady from heaven sent to the
Bishop of Mexico, so that in them he would discover his will to
show us his Son and also see the truthfulness of Juan Diego's words.
On this anniversary of the Guadalupe Fact, they remind us of their
loving presence among us. Let us now listen to the narration of the
Guadalupe tradition in which we are told about the meaning of
flowers.
Reading of the Nican Mopohua
It can be read in dialogue with some readers, or in succession with a single reader, as appropriate.

Now, brothers, let us pray with faith so that God
blesses these roses and flowers and all the ones that
you have in your hands. Then the sprinkling will be
done with holy water and they will be venerated with incense. As
we contemplate them, let us remember the sign that Saint Mary of
Guadalupe gave to Juan Diego to take her to the Bishop.
Then with outstretched hands sing or say the following prayer
LET'S PRAY
d
ios and our Father, you made our land sprout a great diversity
of flowers, so that in them we would recognize your presence,
announced by Mary
like that of the true God for whom one lives. She, the Mother of
your Son, brought us with all her love, understanding, help and
defense.
We ask you to bless your people who present these roses and
flowers to you today,
and grant us
May the devotion to Saint Mary of Guadalupe translate into our
lives,
in an attitude of loving service towards others.
So that in that way
As these flowers please the senses, so may we please you and our
brothers.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with
you,

forever and ever
R/. Amen.
Once the prayer is over, the roses (or other flowers) are sprinkled. Then they are incensed. Meanwhile the choir
and the assembly sing a Marian song.

us the way to salvation, be always with you.
