Our Lady of Guadalupe
Pop-up Book by Francisco Serrano

I mentioned the other day that I did have another new book to surprise the kids with this Advent. I actually pre-ordered this book last year, but it ended up not arriving in time for the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, so I saved it for this year. All year I’ve been dying to take it out of my closet to share with the kids. They are going to love it!

This book has twelve pages, which create six beautiful double page pop-ups, telling the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Here are a few examples:

The price for this book on Amazon seems to change frequently… It was listed at 20% off  the other day, and is now currently 32% off! Either way, I think it is definitely worth the price.

The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is coming up on December 12th, preceded by the feast of St. Juan Diego on December 9th.   I’m not making any definite plans for a Mexican Fiesta or another Our Lady of Guadalupe Tea this year, since I will be “full term” by then, but at the very least we will be reading this book, beginning our Christmas Rose Novena, and enjoying some sort of Catholic Cuisine!

P.S.  Could you please say an extra prayer for us, as we all try and get over coughs, colds, sore throats, and earaches? Nothing like getting sick to force me to try and rest and to cancel/reschedule the rest of our plans for the week… Thank you!

    Feel better beautiful family! Angels watch over you.Happy Advent! The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is so wonderful. Your kids are going to be delighted with the book you found. Thanks for sharing the title! You've got me thinking about the feast last year.at the cathedral while praying for your peecious little rose I smelled roses. Nobody else could smell them. I thought it might be the roses in the church but after mass I eagerly went closer only to discover they smelled nothing like the one that I smelled during consecration. The fregrance is with me still and a reminder of heavenly roses meant just for you! Happy pre feast and God continue to shower you in roses, graces and love!

    Beautiful book! I fondly remember receiving a pop up book of St. Nicholas when I was about 4 or 5. St. Nick had left it "in" my shoe on his feast day. The pop up effect made it come to life. I'm sure your children will remember this one in particular with great fondness as well!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
