On September 6, we celebrated our patronal Feast Day of El Divino Nino Jesus here at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament (Our Lady of the Angels Monastery). Each year we celebrate this feast in honor of the Child Jesus on the first Sunday in September.

This year we decided to do something somewhat different in preparation for this special day. As a community, we prayed a novena invoking the Child Jesus’ powerful protection and guidance. The novena also was an opportunity for us to review the past, reflecting upon all the wonderful marvels born from Mother’s magnanimous response to the Child Jesus’ request to build Him a temple.

His promise of blessing those who helped her in the building process, or spiritually through prayer, continues to be fulfilled. It brings us great joy and consolation when we hear of the conversions and healings that occur in His Temple. Only in Heaven will we know the full story and impact this Temple dedicated to the Child Jesus has had on souls.

We also begged the Divino Nino to continue to bless Mother and if it would please Him to cure her completely. As of now, Mother Angelica continues to give us a beautiful example of faith and abandonment amidst heavy trials.

Her health remains the same. May the El Divino Nino Jesus
bless everyone with His Sacred Heart, especially those who
visit this Temple.
