This isn’t so much a super religious post, but rather a small reminder. God has blessed us with the most incredible life. He has our path laid out for us, and shines a light on the right way. I pray this year we all begin to find the road he has paved for us. Sometimes He throws in a pot hole or a speedbump, and we have to pull over. But know, when we call on Christ for help, He will come to help us. Do your best this year to stay on the expressway to holiness & keep your eyes set on Christ. Its hard to wrap your mind around the importance of each day, and the importance of each decision we make. This year, take the time to thank God for each day, each blessing he has given you. Life is good friends, live it for our Lord.

Today the Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. The feast is a celebration of Mary’s motherhood of Jesus. On this day, we are reminded of the role that the Blessed Virgin played in the plan of our salvation. Through the Holy Spirit, God prepared Mary to be the mother of His Son. Christ’s birth was made possible by Mary’s sanctioning of God’s plan with her words, “Be it done to me according to thy word”. SHe so graciously accepted His plan for her. Since we call Mary, “Mother of God” and Jesus is the “Prince of Peace”, the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God honors Mary as the “Queen of Peace”. New Year’s Day is also named as the “World Day of Peace”, further acknowledging the role of Mary in our hearts and in our world. Make sure to talk to your Holy Mama today and pray with her for a fantastic year.
Go in Peace, & God Bless. I love you all.
Happy New Year, Stay with us this year, we hope for another incredible year of helping you fall more in Love with our Savior.
