Every new year, just like every day, is an opportunity for us to be more than we were the year before, or even the day before. We continue to grow in our faith and pray that all we do bears fruit in our respective vocations. The new year is a joyous occasion because we begin with honoring our Blessed Mother and giving thanks for her fiat (yes to God). We are joyful because of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Mary embraced the message of the angel that the Lord was with her and trusted in God’s plan of salvation. We too are encouraged to accept this path to salvation by following Christ and living a life of holiness, guided by the Holy Spirit. Click here to continue reading...
