all-powerful little God… maravilloso

Was this an error? English page not totally translated from the Spanish? And yes, the “diosito” threw me, too.

Diminutive for friend or for the manger occupant.

Precious.

¡Amen, Tia!

I’m not religious myself but I always enjoy how one family member can inspire perspective like this to the younger generations. Rock on, Carmen!

What Papa said, Gracias Tia Carmen

Be sure to thank him for the fires, hurricanes, pandemic, etc.

Tia Carmen always has the right focus

He sent us a plague… Still, He must be placated or He’ll surely do worse. Where is that loving God again?

I think adding the “ito” personalizes the statement, so instead of God Almighty, she is saying, “The God I love, Almighty.” Beautiful.

I don’t fully understand diosito. I know that -ito/-ita s used to create nicknames and endearments. Is it like “my own personal god” or a reflection that I have a close relationship with God?

Why not just do the strip in Latin?

For those who are mystified by this term and how to translate it, that’s what Google is for.

“Can’t we all just get along?” (Now seemed a good time to bring back that famous quote from Rodney King.)

First things first.

Diosito? Interesting. My mom was Puerto Rican/Mexican and for us, God was always “Papa Dios”.
