Citing of the Week
"Do we see predicaments so much that we fail to see the imprint of the Creator in the first place? Or will we look to the grace and gift that is in something, its strengths and new possibilities?"

SOLEMNITY OF MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD
Make a free and fresh beginning
Turning a new page on the calendar always invites a fresh perspective—even more so when it’s a brand new calendar! So lose your chains. You’re invited today to let go of the old year, both “what we have done” and “what we have failed to do.” Time to give and receive pardon for offenses. Time to craft resolutions and adopt new habits. Time to become people of justice and peace. On this eighth and final day of Christmas, accept the gift of your true identity: a free child of God, heir to a land of relentless hope.
TODAY’S READINGS: Numbers 6:22-27; Galatians 4:4-7; Luke 2:16-21 (18)
“You are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.”
