Blessed New Year!!

Blessed New Year

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, our Lady's greatest title. She is Mother of God because, in bearing Christ, she bore the fullness of God within her. We celebrate her faith and trust in God alone, as we are invited to embody the depth of her faith. On this day, we are reminded of the role that the Blessed Virgin played in the plan of our salvation. Christ's Birth was made possible by Mary's fiat: "Be it done unto me according to Thy word."

As we begin another year, we draw inspiration from the selfless love of Mother Mary, who never hesitated to do the will of God. And we trust in her prayers to God for us, that we might, as the years pass, become more like her. O Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
