The party pooper, the party boy, the gluttons, the drunkards, the tax collectors, and the sinners

My homily for Friday of the second week of Advent....

The Feast of Serpent-Crusher

First reported by the Nahuatl Aztec Juan Diego in his own tongue, an account of the events was then written in the Nahuatl language under the title Nican Mopohua ("Here It Is Told").

The story in Nahuatl is online together with an English translation. Click HERE for it.

Today is the Feast of Coatlaxopeuh,the Serpent-Crusher, and I have posted a homily for the occasion.

Another way to shop that generates donations for Catholic organizations...

... Catholic organizations faithful to the pope and the official teachings of the Catholic Church!
