January 1 Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."

- John 3:16

For Reflection

Why would God do such a thing even as man often stubbornly opposes His divine will? As we enter this New Year, how can you more freely accept God's amazing gift to us, Jesus Christ? Ask Mary, Mother of God, to intercede for you to have greater receptivity to every grace and blessing that He desires to give you in this New Year and new decade.
